It\u2019s a bird. It\u2019s a plane. It\u2019s Elaine! <\/p>\n
Hi! I\u2019m Elaine and I\u2019m like a foodie-Superman with a lot less powers and no toned abs. Like Superman, I have speed \u2013 I can scarf a cheeseburger faster than anybody I know. I also have enhanced senses and can identify when dessert is nearby. As an avid consumer of edible goods with years of experience eating and critiquing nutritionally bad food, I\u2019ve been honing these superpowers. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m always on the lookout for new and better tasting products to try. Carbohydrates, in any form, call to me. Are carbs my yellow sun or kryptonite? Huh. Naturally and like many of you, I found TIB years ago and now check it daily. I\u2019m delighted to now be a TIB reviewer. What\u2019s better than trying scrumptious products while subsidizing a food addiction? <\/p>\n
While I have a day job that requires a lot of work, I spend my free time daydreaming of delicious dishes to try. Prior to the years of training and education required for my day job, I honed my palate by working at Taco Bell. I come from a long line of Taco Bell employees. Seriously, this line includes my mother, sister, brother, cousin, second cousin, and probably some other relatives I don\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n
I have also worked as part of the Hy-Vee family, a Midwest supermarket chain. Hopefully you\u2019ll find these qualifications worthy of a cape. No skintight suit for me please (see ab description above). <\/p>\n
I\u2019m honored to have the opportunity to serve you, TIB readers, by reviewing new food products and sharing whatever tangential, but hopefully interesting, thoughts come to mind. Now to find a phone booth…<\/p>\n
Respectfully, Elaine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
