Garlic peeling can be pretty easy — just crush a clove under a knife and be done with it. However, if you’re peeling a bunch of cloves, after a while, everything starts to get sticky, paper gets everywhere, the process becomes kind of annoying.

Recently, I received yet another gift certificate from CSN Stores with the stipulation that whatever I purchase from the site I would then review. This time around I opted for a hand blender, which may seem excessive considering that I already have a food processor, a mini food processor, and a Magic Bullet (with a …

It turns out the British-born Dunlop spent extensive time in the Sichuan province of China studying the local foods and …

Not only did I receive a salad spinner from CSN Stores this week, but I also nabbed a smoker too. It was a random purchase, and quite frankly, I don’t know what had inspired the decision. I wouldn’t call myself someone who yearns for smokey cuisine on the regular, but the deed was done, and …

Because I did such a bang up job reviewing the free items they sent me last time, CSN Stores has given me another gift certificate to use, again with the stipulation that I review whatever I purchase. My spending limit has been cut in half, however, which means I only have $40 to play with. …
