Once again, CSN Stores gave me a gift certificate for me to use in return for some reviews of whatever I purchase with it. For my latest batch of housewares, I ordered a Bundt pan because, well, why not? I wouldn’t say that I’m an avid Bundt maker, but it’s nice having the pan, and …

Back in May, I posted about my sad little herb garden, which had once been so lush but had fallen into a state of disrepair. Although, things looked bleak, I wasn’t about to give up on my plants. I set about pruning the dead leaves away and attempted to give my horticultural menagerie a new …
This may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever posted, but it also might be the most entrancing. If you stare at us long enough, we change directions! Well, at least one of us does. Stoners, rejoice. (Feel free to listen to the soothing sounds of Taxi while viewing the above images)
Not too long ago, I received a slow cooker from CSN Stores (who have a lovely variety of table lamps, I should note), and I was quite excited to put it to use. Sadly though, I totally messed up my debut dish after attempting to execute a dutch oven recipe in my new device. The …

One of my favorite perks of having a blog is when I get free stuff. And one of my favorite free things to get is booze. I’ve been on a good run, as of late: I’ve received free tequila, free shochu, and now free vodka! When it comes to sampling these fine spirits, I usually …
Last week I suddenly had a sudden and intense craving for coconut shrimp. However, I don’t deep fry things in my apartment; so I was left to investigate various baked coconut shrimp recipes.

Once again I’m back to review yet another item I received for free, courtesy of CSN Stores, and this time it’s a swanky new mandolin! I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to purchase the kitchen tool. I figured that perhaps my gift certificate would be better used on an item for my …
As part of my ongoing series of reviewing my free purchases from CSN Stores, I must now move on to my most needed addition to the kitchen: a citrus juicer. My friends and I often convene for what we like to call “Fresh Cocktail Hour,” in which we whip up a batch of beverages totally …

Bravo aired the second part of the explosive Real Housewives of New York City reunion, and it was just as bonkers as the first installment. Jill seemed significantly more contrite this time around, perhaps too contrite, and amusingly, LuAnn brought up the whole “snake” bit again. Alex, meanwhile, seemed totally derailed as she appeared to …
