Seen Reviews

My yard was looking pretty nasty, but I didn’t really care. My girlfriend, however, forced me to get Roll and Grow seeds to cover up some of that dead or dying grass. It was super easy to install, but I didn’t tell my girlfriend that, she thinks I’ve been slaving away.

I don’t really care a whole lot about my lawn, I think the dead grass and overgrown weeds keeps door-to-door salesmen away, but apparently “it makes us look trashy.” So I (my girlfriend) decided to get my unemployed butt off the couch and into the yard for some landscaping.

We decided to get Quicklawn and Roll and Grow seeds to fill everything in. Both were pretty easy, but Roll and Grow was a cinch and it made the yard look pretty great, I must say. The Roll and Grow seeds came rolled up like a blanket. All I needed was a scissors to cut the shape I wanted, unroll it and water. Three weeks of sitting on the couch and we had a ton of flowers along our walkway.

I followed the commercial and used the Roll and Grow garden mat seeds to edge the sidewalk in our yard, and it looks just great. I threw some woodchips down too to set it out a little more.

Now the girlfriend thinks I’m some kind of ultimate gardener, and I’ll just keep letting her think that.

Check it out, look like you’re an ultimate gardener too and buy Roll and Grow, just keep the hose on hand for those door-to-door salesmen that will soon be attracted to your beautiful lawn.

Pet spots, ratty grass and dirty spots were driving my girlfriend nuts, so she set me to work with Quicklawn grass seeds to green-up the yard.

I swear all the neighbors bring their dogs to our yard to use the bathroom, so it’s looking pretty nasty. I didn’t really mind, like I’ve said, a nasty lawn keeps people away! My girlfriend, of course, said she felt like she was living in a third world country every time she walked across the lawn.

She decided that we should buy Quicklawn to fill in all that nastiness. And of course, I would be doing the heavy lifting — or so I thought. When it arrived in the mail, I was skeptical; it was just a jar of grass seeds.

But whatever, it got my unemployed butt off the couch. I grabbed a beer and started tossing the Quicklawn seed around the yard then hit it all with the hose, it was insanely easy as far as landscaping goes. I just made sure to leave a spot along the walkway for the Roll and Grow seeds.

I had basically forgotten about the seeds until a couple weeks later after a good rain. I looked out the window and the lawn had basically exploded with grass. I even had a neighbor walking his dog (probably to pee in my yard) compliment me on the lawn.

Even my girlfriend loves it, she thinks I was just slaving away in the yard, but Quicklawn grass seeds made it a cinch and got me all the credit.

So if you’ve got a nasty lawn or gross pet spots, try it out — buy Quicklawn and get that yard looking great.

A good steak, I had forgotten what it was like to bite into a perfectly cooked chunk ‘o meat. Throw in a little A-1 Sauce and some buttered bread, and I wouldn’t care if my house burned down. Thee (note the second E for emphasis) best steak I have ever had didn’t come from my stinky, greasy grill, but from my Red Rocket grill.

It was quite lucky that I got to do the test for this Red Rocket grill review, I normally only see steak on TV when I’m sitting over a bowl of noodles. Damn you steak!

But since I have ample time on my hands while most of my friends are working, I’ve been going to meat raffles. It’s quite a strange crowd, lots of people on pensions and crazy drunks — and now me on Wednesday afternoon and Sunday at 11 a.m.

It was at one of these great cultural mixers that I won one huge, huge steak.

I went home right away and went to fire up the grill, and it was full of water and there was no charcoal in the house. And sure enough, the cheese from last year’s burgers was still stuck between the grates.

So I decided to use the Red Rocket grill instead. I’ve used it a couple times to make burgers and it worked great, but a steak was a harder thing to cook. But I was surprised by how well this As Seen on TV grill actually worked. The Red Rocket grill was basically a George Foreman grill stuck inside a mini convection oven. The oven aspect helped get the meat heated all the way through without turning the surface of the meat into jerky, like the Foreman can.

The microwave grill cooked my steak perfectly in the middle — perfectly pink. I did sear it on the stove top with a really hot pan — I had been watching the Food Network and had to try it out. The searing beforehand got it to a perfect little char on the outside. I also smeared some butter on the top of the steak as I put it in — drain away the fat?? No thanks.

It was the juiciest steak I have ever cooked. (pictured for bragging rights) And it also made some really good kabobs with some far, far, far lower quality (possibly not edible) meat.

It also came with a Slap Chop type veggie chopper; which was nice because my girlfriend won’t let me have a slap chop because she says Vince Offer is a misogynist. It came with a recipe booklet too, I just used my cookbooks like it was a grill. The worst thing about the grill is its name, if you look for Red Rocket or Red Rocket review, you’ll probably find a quite offensive (and great) South Park episode.

Buy It Or Not?

Buy it, it’s a super quick alternative to the grill. Just pop the thing in the microwave. The Slap Chop like chopper is great too. I really suggest searing your meat before putting it in the Red Rocket. Kabobs and burgers are great on the thing too. You can just throw it all in the dish washer too, so no cleanup. Buy the Red Rocket grill from RedRocketGrill.com and start cooking like you have a grill!
