One of our favorite foods in this house is pasta. It is something we all like to eat and is on the menu at least once a week…..if not more. A few years ago when I was preparing dinner, I went to drain a pot of bowling water into a strainer and lost control of the whole pot and water and ended up scalding my stomach very, very badly. Not only did I end up with a massive burn across my belly, but at the time that it happened I was wearing a air of pants that had elastic in the waist (don’t judge) and when the water hit my pants it melted the elastic immediately causing it to bond with my skin and making the situation even worse. ( I just spent 25 minutes trying to find the picture of the burn so you could see just how bad it was but didn’t have any luck).
Since that night, I have had a fear that it would happen again and very rarely do you find me over my sink draining a boiling pot of food in water into the strainer. This is now a task that I prefer to hand off to the Hardworking Hubby.
I am pleased to announce that recently, I conquered my fear, thanks to the Bialetti Pasta Pot.
This pot is one of my new favorite kitchen/cooking tools.
First off, it is huge! It is 5 quarts (4.7 liters), has a nonstick interior which means your food won’t be sticking to the bottom or sides and it is super easy to clean (I like things that are easy to clean!). It is also oval in shape so you can fit every type of pasta in it.
Oh and then there is my favorite part……it has a LOCKING STRAIN & DRAIN LID!
Do you know what that means?? It means that when I use this bad boy, I don’t have to balance it over a strainer that is sitting in one side of the sink while doing my best not to burn myself.
Now all I have to do put the lid on the pot and lock it, carry it over to the sink, tip it and drain all the hot burny do not hurt me liquids out of it!
Did I mention I also love this pot because it is that beautiful blue cheer color and it meshes very well with my lime green cookware? It also comes in orange spice, purple passion, and sizzling red.

What woman doesn’t enjoy receiving flowers?
I know that every time I get some (which is not that often) I enjoy it.
I usually receive flowers for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and my wedding anniversary.
This year, I received an earlier Mother’s Day gift of flowers from FromYouFlowers.com and they could not have arrived at a better time than when I was dealing with all of the frustration and anxiety last week of Zman having hip surgery once again.
Yes, in the midst of it all, as I was getting ready to walk out the door and head to the hospital to visit my boy and wait to see if we could bring him home, this beautiful vase of flowers was delivered to my door by Bill, my neighbor, who had been kind enough to take them in overnight since we were out when they were delivered.
They were just what this mommy needed at that very moment.
A pick me up.
From You Flowers’ offer a beautiful variety of Mother’s Day flowers and gifts and are arranged by a local florist with fresh lilies and roses, this is a perfect gift to send to your mom this year.
Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
