Do you love carbonated beverages, but prefer to make your own? Do you have an affinity for your Sodastream, but wish that it was a little more portable? We have a solution for you! Pat’s Backcountry Beverages actually has a Carbonator Bottle that allows you to carbonate beverages in a BPA-free, shatterproof, 20-ounce water bottle. Simply take an Activator Packet and place it in the reaction cup. The chemical reaction of citric acid and potassium bicarbonate adds bubbles into the liquid. When the chemical reaction starts, simply lock the lever and shake from side to side for about a minute, and there you have it: on-the-spot carbonation.

Now you don’t have to be wasteful buying all those bottles of seltzer and Perrier to get your sparkling water fix. Want some flavor? Simple add one of the Pat’s Backcountry Beverages all-natural syrups, which come in cola, ginger-ale, lemon-lime, pomegranate cola, and root beer flavors. That way, you don’t need to waste plastic or glass with all those soda bottles. Once it’s all carbonated, you can unscrew the bottom of the water bottle and get a convenient cup to share that carbonated deliciousness. Use Pat’s Backcountry Beverages Carbonator Bottle when you’re hiking, going to the gym, or on the road for that instant carbonated kick. Now we don’t have to pollute the earth with all those non-biodegradable bottles that other carbonated beverages come packaged in, because according to the company, “it’s the most environmentally-responsible carbonated beverage system on earth!” We can’t wait to bring it with us next time we hit the road.

What, exactly, is a flat white? All about the tasty coffee drink

All about the flat white, a delicious coffee drink

flat white coffee

Espresso lovers who travel overseas may find a new world of coffee shop menu options not commonly seen in U.S. coffee chains. One drink popular in Australia, the flat white, has made its way to many U.S. coffee shops, including Starbucks. Yet most Americans do not actually know what this drink consists of. The flat white is a delicious, smooth, and velvety espresso drink that you might just be missing out on. Here's what you need to know about the flat white.
What is a flat white?

You can think of a flat white as a hybrid between a standard latte and a cappuccino. A classic latte is made with a shot of espresso, steamed milk, and foam on top. In contrast, a flat white is a smaller drink than a latte and is made with a double shot of espresso with micro-foamed milk on top. On the other hand, a flat white is larger than a cappuccino, which is made with a more equal ratio of espresso, steamed milk, and milk froth.

12 amazing types of pasta (and when you should actually be using them)

Swap your spaghetti for bucatini and thank us later.

Various dried pastas

One stroll down your local grocer's pasta aisle, and you'll be quickly, startlingly reminded of just how many pasta shapes there are. According to Italy Magazine, there are an estimated 350 different types of pasta, and about four times that many names for them. Needless to say, we'd love to cover them all, but an article addressing each and every pasta shape might prove a bit excessive.

The world of Italian pasta is an extensive one that would take months to dissect properly. We could spend days on gnocchi alone, and months on the beautiful madness that is stuffed pastas. Ravioli, tortellini, lasagna, and cannelloni are each individually deserving of their own articles. As it is, though, in the American market, there seems to be a bit of confusion around some of the more common dried pasta shapes and how they're best used. We've chosen a dozen of our very favorite, most commonly found pasta shapes to discuss here.
