Mountain Dew Kickstart Breakfast Drink

New Mountain Dew “Kickstart” Breakfast Juice Drink

February 11, 2013 Stuart

Mountain Dew Kickstart is a new breakfast juice drink. Seriously, its 5% juice concentration means it’s a juice drink and not soda. There’s some caffeine in there as well. I haven’t seen mention as to whether it’s carbonated or not, but it might be. There will be two Kickstart flavors – Energizing Fruit Punch and Energizing Orange Citrus. This […]

Astronaut Ice Cream Straight to Your Door

August 11, 2011 Stuart

It used to be that you could only find Astronaut Ice Cream at a local museum, science center, or similarly themed location. Then, a few online stores started carrying the freeze dried ice cream goodness, but for $4 a bag or more. Now, they’re available via Amazon – 10 packs for <$25. I already sent […]

The USDA has food pyramid that many of us are familiar with has been trashed for good, being replaced by the Nutrition Plate. Featuring seemingly arbitrarily sized quarter-plate portions, the Nutrition Plate found at ChooseMyPlate.gov recommends helping portions of vegetables, fruits, grains, protein, and a noticeably smaller serving of dairy. What about sweets? Oils? Fats? […]

Over here on the east coast, the first wild Alaskan salmon catch of the year has arrived!

New Burger King Jalapeno and Cheese-Stuffed Burger Looks Like…

January 12, 2011 Stuart

Yesterday I passed by a Burger King in the food court and saw an advertisement for their new cheese & jalapeno burger. This new burger features one of their “steak” sized patties that is embedded with bits of jalapeno and cheddar cheese. I’m sorry, but this doesn’t look like something that you’re supposed to eat. Besides […]

Anolon Advanced Santoku Knife with Santoprene Handle

January 10, 2011 Stuart

While I’d love to splurge for a ceramic Santoku knife, for the time being I’m making due with what I’ve got – Anolon 5″ and 7″ santokus with Santoprene handles, which are fantastic knives. Personally, I prefer to use my 5″ santoku over the 7″ one. I’ve been using the 5″ version for over four years […]

January 7, 2011 Stuart

Which one(s) to buy?! Looking over the knife selection and knowing which […]

Mini Pie Maker Bakes Enough for Me or Four People

November 17, 2010 Stuart

Everyone seems to be talking about this pie maker this week, and I can see why! The Breville Pie Maker can be used to bake up to four personal-sized pies. That’s enough for either me, or four normal people. I want one. Think about it – meat pies, fruit pies, veggie pies… A few years ago I used […]
