food in tubes

I do try to keep a garlic paste in a tube at home, even though I keep plenty of fresh garlic at all times as well. I was in the store the other day & noticed that they have many tubes of food. Even fish in a tube. Out of all of the choices, I decided to try the basil pesto blend. I used a little over half of the tube on pasta. It was tasteless pretty much. I added more with salt & it did get better but I definitely prefer to make my basil pesto homemade like my recipe on here.
On the back of the basil tube, there were many recipes & they may have been good. I tried one of them which was really simple. I added a tablespoon of the basil sauce to 3 oz of cream cheese the mushroom stems chopped from baby portabellos. I mixed the mixture, added it in the mushrooms & baked them for 15 minutes on 350. They weren't great but they were easy, fast & pretty good. We did eat all of them.

I have been swaying from the subject on all of my blogs lately but I will get back to business soon. I'm not giving a recipe today, but writing on here about Ramen. I have never cared for ramen noodles in my life but for some unknown reason- for the last 2 months- I have eaten cases of them. By theirselves, with meals, making them into meals. I am starting to get tired of them & don't know what came over me. I never even liked them before. I was eating the chile ramen probably the most, but the last time that I had them- they were too hot. I don't know why there weren't too hot the 50 times before. I guess it's just one of those things. Tonight I had my hamburger casserole that is one of the first blogs that I wrote on here. It was good. I sometimes overdo certain foods and then won't eat it again for years. I did this with lenders onion bagels & philadelphia cream cheese once. I wouldn't stop eating it and wanted it constantly. I did that until I got sick of it. There was another time where I did that same thing with those crackers & cheese with the little red stick. I still can't eat those. I think that I am done with the ramen for awhile. I think my family is probably happy but it was just one of those strange things.
