Philadelphia Cream Cheese Sauce


If you have seen the commercial for this I definitely recommend making it one night. If you haven't Philadelphia Cream Cheese is running one of their heavenly commercials giving a spin to their product we all love. Its super simple, and will empress your guests or your cat.

1) Take a wad of philly cream cheese, use your judgement in regards to how much pasta you are using, I don't have a measurement, this is a lifestyle blog not a cooking blog although we will have lots of dope recipes

2) Warm up a sauce pan and add your wad

3) Season it, I used oregano and a splash of olive oil

4) Add your already boiled and drained noodles of your desire (mine were whole wheat incase you think it looks weird in the photo) to the melting wad of cream cheese.

5) Stir until the wad is sauce and on all the noodles.

6) I had a vinaigrette and feta salad to compliment, along with a lucky extra.

enjoy!

Mr. Rogers


Coming across this video through the randomness of the internet, I've come to a conclusion: This man, Mr. Rogers, was memorable through many a childhood television experience, in that we all wanted to have our own toy kingdom with its own moving tram system in our basement, or the way that the clown puppet invariably scared the shit out of us every time we later closed our eyes for our afternoon nap. Yet for all of this, the fact remains; in spite of every dirty joke or humorous misintepretation we had at his expense, he had a truly pure heart. It may seem eccentric in the tumultuous times, but none the less, the man had a good thing going.
Furthermore, as you can tell from this video, he probably had the most money granted to him in U.S. Congress in relation to the complete absence of hot-headed arguments and deliberate deciet. Maybe things would be better in these crazy economic times if companies said please when asking for money, rather than going with the "if you don't, it will only get worse" approach. With the manners of Mr. Rogers under their collective belts in the U.S., it might well be a more beautiful day in all our neighbourhoods.

Bonterra Incredible!

Not so long ago my girlfriend and I celebrated a 2 year milestone. Although both students we saved our milk money for a couple months and decided to spend some bucks on a really nice dinner. We made reservations for Bonterra which is on 8th st SW right before Mountain Equipment Co-Op. The service was awesome, the wine amazing, and the food fantastic. The menu as you can probably guess from the title is traditional Italian down to every last detail. We definitely recommend it, so if you are like us, save a bit off a few pay checks and treat yourself. It's worth it!
