* Halo Top Ice Cream.

Jeff Eats has been hearing some real good things about Halo Top Ice Cream- which supposedly is an amazingly delicious low calorie, all natural ingredients, low sugar, high protein ice cream!

Like I just said, “hearing”- Jeff Eats has yet to try Halo Top Ice Cream which according to its website halotop.com is being carried in Florida by select- Publix Super Market, The Fresh Market, Whole Foods Market, Winn-Dixie, Walmart and Target stores.

Just maybe “something” we- need to check out!

***** The Bakery Sweet Corn Muffins.

If you like corn muffins- the bet here is that you’re gonna love Walmart’s “house brand” The Bakery Sweet Corn Muffins.

Yesterday, the pictured package cost Jeff Eats $3.98 at- the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484- and I gotta tell you guys, these muffins blew Jeff Eats away! Now, I’m not claiming to be a corn muffin nor for that matter a cornbread- expert or something- but Jeff Eats does know that its-been a very long time since I’ve eaten a corn muffin/bread as delicious as The Bakery Sweet Corn Muffins that I picked-up yesterday!

Like I said 3-seconds ago…If you like corm muffins- the bet here- is that you’ll love Walmart’s “house brand” The Bakery Sweet Corn Muffins- they hooked Jeff Eats!

You never know when this “information” might come in handy!

* The Passover Vacation!

Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two week vacation to celebrate the Passover Holiday.

Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces,

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news, both of our engines have failed and we are attempting an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives.”

Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.

An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, “Esther, did we pay our charity pledge check to Beth Shalom Synagogue yet?” “No, sweetheart “she responds. Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, “Esther, did we pay our United Jewish Appeal pledge?” “Oy, no I’m sorry. I forgot to send the check” she says. “One last thing, Esther, did you remember to send a check for the Synagogue Building Fund this month?” he asks. “Oy, forgive me, Abie,” begged Esther “I didn’t send that one, either.”

Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest hug and kiss in 40 years. Esther pulls away and asks him, “So, why did you kiss me?”

Abe answers, “They’ll find us.”

***** Mary’s Kountry Kitchen, 15945 County Road 448, Tavares, Florida 32778, (352) 343-6823.

Now, first things first -is the city named after the R&B group or is it vice versa? “It Only Take A Minute” to figure this one out.

Anyway…got a real good “mom & pop” diner-joint for you…Mary’s Kountry Kitchen in Tavares.

Without even telling you, you know what Mary’s looks like–handful of tables/counter seating.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple recently did lunch…double cheeseburger ($7.49 with french fries), corned beef reuben ($7.49 with chips), country fried steak ($8.99-sweet potato fries and macaroni salad), BLT ($5.49 with chips) and not-one single complaint…as a matter of fact, that flat-top grilled double cheeseburger with lettuce/tomato/mayo/onion/pickle was really-really good!

Jeff Eats & Company really enjoyed Mary’s Kountry Kitchen…the neighborhood diner “concept” at its best.

One final thought…
