A New Kind of Pasta, Vintage-Inspired Tupperware, and March Book Releases

February 25, 2022

Tip of the Day

This Friday pick one thing you’re dreading dealing with next week and deal with it now. Go into your weekend with that thing off your list and enjoy your personal time without it hanging over you.

Happy Friday, LifeSavviers!

We’ve made it to the end of the week and, I think you’ll all agree, we deserve a piping hot plate of pasta! Our resident foodie, Emilee, is serving up a brand-new kind called Cascatelli. Invented by podcaster, Dan Pashman, this new noodle is the perfect sauce-scooping shape. Check out how he came up with the idea and, most importantly, where you can get some!

If you somehow have leftovers, why not store them in some new, but vintage-looking Tupperware? Inspired by the latest episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the company is re-releasing some real classics, but they’re limited edition, so get ’em while they’re hot.

For all you bookworms out there, we’ve got some of the most highly anticipated March releases to fatten up your spring TBR list. Need something to read while you wait? Check out some of the articles you might have missed this week:

• Stuff, Smear, and Smother Your Waffles with These Savory Ingredients

Pizza is also the topic of our water cooler trivia today. It seems the ever-popular, cheesy dish was also a fave of our ancient ancestors. Cooking tools similar to those used in modern pizzerias were found among the ruins of the doomed city of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
