Fresh Direct Promo: Winter Squash Ravioli

So, a few weeks ago, using one of the promotion codes I’ve been posting, I received a sample of the “Winter Squash Ravioli with Roasted Autumn Vegetables” and of course, as is my habit, ate it for lunch a day or so after receiving it. The vegetables cooked thoroughly but not overly much, so they still had a good crisp to them (which I prefer).  Everything was tasty though.  The ravioli was on the bottom, I suppose to keep it moist and from drying out, which couldn’t be helped.  The edges of the ravioli were slightly crispy, but in a [...]

Fresh Direct: Crab Stuffed Salmon Promo

So, again, FreshDirect sent me a promo code for free crab stuffed salmon (normally $14.99 for 2 fillets), and I jumped on it.  I order from them nearly every week (perhaps a more fitting name would have been FreshDirect Foodie?)- there is a distinct lack of grocery stores in my neighborhood, the Financial District- so it wasn’t like I purposely created an order for the sole purpose of getting free food.  That would be silly.  Wouldn’t it?  And we all know I am not silly.  No.  Anyhow, I was excited to try this because it sounded delicious, but when I opened [...]

FreshDirect: Lemon Dill Salmon Promo

Lobster Gram1-800-LIVE LOB Cuisine: Seafood + all the fixins to have your own feast at homePrice: I’ve actually never bought live lobster before in my life, but I say it’s well worth it cuz it’s delivered right to your doorstep. Ever since I first saw a catalog for Lobster Gram about 6 years ago, I’ve wanted to try them.  The concept is too cute, on top of which someone else picks the lobsters for you and guarantees that they’re good.  What’s not to love?  On top of which, they have all these nifty packages that combine all your favorites into [...]
