AquaStar Crispy Battered Alaskan Cod



I rate this product a 10+.

I love cod!  I have only 1 select restaurant that serves it with a nice crispy crust with the fish being thick, flaky and moist.  Yum!  But I can't always make it to the restaurant when I have a 'cod attack.'  I've tried just about every pre-battered cod product in the stores but haven't been able to find one that fits my taste... that is until I found AquaStar.

I don't fry my foods.  I usually cook my fish in a toaster oven hoping to get a crispy crust with the fish still being moist.  Most of the time the crust comes out moist with the fish being dry.  The opposite of what I want.

AquaStar Crispy Battered Alaskan Cod is exactly what its name says.  I cook it on about 400 in the toaster oven for about 20 minutes (frozen straight from the freezer).  When done I drizzle a little Malt Vinegar and I'm ready to eat.

So far I've only been able to find this product at Walmart.  Hopefully some of the other grocery stores will start carrying it but until they do you can bet I'll make a special trip to Walmart when I'm running low.

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo



I rate this product - 10+ - but not for my hair (read on)

I have a skin condition where I'm losing my pigment.  I keep my hair short and wear a hat most of the time but when I'm not wearing my hat I want a shampoo that will give my hair a little body so I'm constantly trying different shampoos.  I bought Neutrogena Triple Moisture hoping it would give me this much needed body.  Well, it didn't - BUT -

I found another use for this product.  Due to my pigment loss my skin is extremely dry!  I've tried lotions and they simply don't work for me.  Out of a whim I decided to lather up with one of the many bottles of shampoo I've bought.  The 1st one I picked up was the Neutrogena.  I lathered up my arms and legs in the shower, toweled off and noticed how soft my skin was.  I also noticed later in the day that it was still soft.  I could run my nail across my arm and there was NO dry skin.

This 'shampoo' works better than any body wash I've EVER tried!  I have no doubt as a shampoo it will work for most people but for me it's my #1 body wash from now on.
