Ludal’s, North Haven, CT

Ludal's is a neighborhood Italian place, find to stop by for a bite after the movies. Nothing special, but friendly service and decent food. They offer an herbaceous garlicky dip served with warm bread nuggets to start. Our waiter described it as blend of equal amounts of scallions and cilantro mixed with lots of garlic, some olive oil, a splash of wine vinegar, lemon and lime juice. Quite tasty. I sampled the appetizer portion ($10) of eggplant rollatini that was satiating but not satisfying. My friend had a crisp Caesar salad ($7), which is what I will have if I return.  Nothing special, but a nice place for after-movie fare. Ludal's [...]

Challenge Butter

Challenge Butter offers two new varieties, Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper and Lite Butter. These spreadable butters are made with olive oil; the Lite version provides fewer calories and less fat than regular butter.  Each 1 tablespoon serving has about 50-100 calories, 2-6 grams saturated fat (of 5.5-11 grams total) and 65-90 milligrams sodium.       Kelly Sloan, Bite of the Best Intern: This Lite spreadable butter is lower in fat and calories than regular butter. I like the Lite butter flavored with olive oil because it was easier than regular butter to spread and it tastes just like butter.

Black & Decker Rotisserie Convection Countertop Oven

The stainless steel Black & Decker Rotisserie Convection Countertop Oven has a removable rack and crumb tray, temperature control, rotisserie and includes a bake pan and broil rack.   - bonnie: What ever happened to instruction booklets? In testing the oven, I found only a folded insert in many languages. That insert does not include all the necessary details - such a description of each included part  and — more important — how to turn the unit off!  My unit turned off once on its own when the timers were done, other than that I needed to pull the plug.

Annie’s Microwaveable Mac & Cheese Cups

Annie’s Microwaveable Mac & Cheese Cups are available in three varieties — Real Aged Cheddar, White Cheddar and Gluten Free Rice Pasta & Cheddar. They are organic. Each 2-ounce serving has about 220-230 calories, 3.5 grams saturated fat (of 5 grams total), 470 milligrams sodium, 3 grams sugar and 4-7 grams protein.   Diane Della Monica, special gluten-free correspondent — I'm usually a fan of Annie's products, albeit not gourmet status, but her gluten-free products are usually good. Sadly, I found the Gluten Free Rice Pasta & Cheddar slimy, gooey and totally uncheesy — almost inedible. If it had more cheese flavor, I might have overlooked the sliminess.
