An Informal Chat About Jarred Arrabbiata Sauce

Jarred Arrabbiata sauces has been having a moment for a while now. I have dabbled in this trend even converting it to curry sauce.  Italian tomato sauce with a hot kick, it’s an irresistible addition to eggplant parm and pastas. Not here to break down the hype, just recommending a few brands from my Arrabbiata sauce journey.

I’ll start with the lead:  Carbone Arrabbiata sauce. My overall favorite of the non-definitive number of brands I have tried. When this supermarket bottled sauce goes on sale for $7.99, it’s a real deal. Rao's Homemade Arrabbiata Sauce Spicy Tomato Sauce & Pasta Sauce gets the most play. I preferred the Carbone. Maybe the Carbone is less oily?  Not sure, but Carbone, in the jar with the cute illustration, is the crave-worthy one.

The less pricey runner up is from Target:  Signature Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce - Good & Gather.  At $5.99, a deal.  But good luck finding it because it wasn’t available during my last Target run. 

This home cook’s tip:  caramelize some onions, blend in the Arrabbiata sauce, add a splash of cream, a cup of vodka optional, heat it up with some gluten-free rigatoni, top it with shredded basil and parmesan.  You can then pretend you are dining at No. 181 Thompson Street, NYC.

Uh oh! So many leaks all over the place….

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar. Summer’s Coming. Time for drinks.  https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ This post contains affiliate links.

Are you ok? The K‑Shaped Economy

Image
If you’re trying to understand all the K‑shaped economy talk, here’s the simplest way to picture it: the standard K chart tracking time and performance is an inverted, backward K tilted roughly 90 degrees to the right.  Sometimes you’ll see an upright K instead:   One arm goes up (winners). One arm goes down (strugglers).  Hanging off the upper K arm like the “Hang In There Kitty” posters of yore? You are not alone. There are some interesting K charts out there. Which arm of the K are you on? In good economic times or bad, there are cookies. Tate’s Bake Shop, from near Greens Water’s hometown, are cookies with a dedicated following:   https://amzn.to/3yqz7tO Photo from Unsplash, the “crowd‑sourced library of high‑quality free‑to‑use stock photos.” Credit: markus‑spiske‑53AIdxedO9g‑unsplash.

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...
