They have a fairly extensive menu with salads, burgers, pastas and pizza. Some of the dishes even come with a side Caesar salad, that’s pretty good for $10! The deal expires on November 1st 2009, and is for dine in only.

Mama Meata, here I come!

Keramiko’s Kitchen Silicone Utensils Giveaway!

If you head over to My Organized Chaos, you can enter for a chance to win a free set of silicone utensils from Keramiko’s Kitchen! Entries are accepted until September 16th.

Keramiko’s Kitchen specializes in making ceramic knives, but their silicone utensils are also supposed to be quite good.

Silicone utensils are much like rubber ones, but are extremely heat resistant so they won’t melt while using them. Unfortunately, they are also much more expensive. I’ve compiled a list of advantages and disadvantages to silicone utensils in general:

Pros
- Extremely heat resistant (~500°F)
- Easy to clean

Cons
- Silicone utensils don’t necessarily perform better than regular utensils
- A lot of silicone utensils have metal handles, making them hotter/harder to use
- Silicone utensils still break and suffer damage like all other utensils, they’re not indestructible

Overall, silicone utensils are definitely good, but they come with a price premium. I would certainly recommend a silicone spatula, but I wouldn’t rush out to replace all my current utensils with silicone ones. Often the silicone utensils may look nicer, or be a little easier to clean, but the alternatives can perform just as well, if not better, for a lower price. For example, a wooden spoon can often do the exact same job as a silicone one, and a standard baster will most likely perform much better than it’s silicone replacement.

Food and deals at Starlight Casino

Starlight casino has a few good deals going on right now.

At the Salt & Pepper Cafe, you can start your day with eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast and coffee for only $3.99! Since I work very close to Starlight, this is very appealing for those days when I don’t want to make breakfast, or I ran out of Frosted Flakes.

The Gourmet Italian Pasta Lunch special is also very tempting because I can’t remember the last time I went out for lunch, and the price started with a ‘4′. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to go this week and tell you if it also tastes like a $4.99 lunch.
