Product Review

Lovely CSN Stores has once again offered for me to review one of their products. With over 200 stores and tons of products, including affordable dog furniture,   cheap bedroom furniture, gardening supplies and more it's hard for me to pick something. I'm waffling between this cutey for my cutey: a puffy bed for her to leap upon and snuggle into:

Wouldn't Pocket look so much cuter on this bed than this dog?

Or something more functional like a gardening tool or new knife for the kitchen.

What do you think i should choose? Have you been considering a purchase from CSN Stores that you'd like me to review?

Review: Buitoni Pasta

Darn Tasty! 

I was graced with a coupon to try out Buitoni pasta recently, and i have nothing bad to say about it. The ingredients were fairly close to natural food, for a packaged item. The filling was decadent but delicious. The caloric value was a bit high, but a good amount to split with a hungry husband. The pasta wasn't quite as filling as it was fattening, but still a fun weeknight treat, and easy to prepare. The pasta would have been highlighted better if i had topped it with simple butter or perhaps garlic infused olive oil, but i like tomato sauce so i made some of that and served the hubby with mostly pasta and a little sauce, me with mostly sauce and a little pasta.

I think i will take this pasta as inspiration for my next homemade ravioli recipe: mushrooms, basil and ricotta, with perhaps some homemade mozzerella and homegrown garlic? Sounds good to me! Can't wait to have fresh basil growing again - it's on its way!
