Mavea Water Filter Pitcher

Mavea Water Filter Pitcher Review I received this water filter and pitcher to do a review on. The pitcher is red and clear and made very nicely. The box came with 1 pitcher and 1 water filter. It is a new generation filter that has been radically re-shaped for greater performance. I opened the box up and removed all the packing material and got the directions and read how to put the pitcher together then I washed all the parts except for the electronic meter that is in the top of the pitcher; you can't wash that. The meter is a micro computer that uses a 3-way measurement including volume of water, water quality and time to tell you exactly when it is time to change the filter to a new one. The pitcher is easy to wash and easy to assemble.   I love the Mavea Water filter Pitcher it is a new generation of personal water filteration combining advanced German design with leading edge technology. It has an automatic pour-through lid. The tap water flow opens the lid, whic

Country Bob's Original Sauce Review

The Original Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce Review : This sauce has been gracing people's plates since 1968 and tonight it graced my family's plates. Country Bob's all purpose sauce is one of the best tasting all purpose sauces I have ever tasted. My oldest son loves to cook and he had off of work tonight so he decided to make baked chicken and he put Country Bob's all purpose sauce on it and he said it was awesome. I don't eat chicken but I did taste the sauce and if I ate meat it would have this sauce on it; the rest of my family enjoyed it too. Next time I have french fries I am gonna dip them in this sauce; it does say all purpose and it taste really good so I am sure it would go great on many kinds of food.  There is nothing like a great big piece of chicken breast with The Original Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce smoothered all over it. The sauce is made of all natural ingredients.
