The Five Saltiest Restaurant Meals You Can Order

By web gangsta | Published: March 5, 2010


Salt Cellar

Web Watch knows that too much salt can be bad for you.

Which really stinks, because salt makes things taste good.  Which just makes Web Watch want to know why things that taste that good are always bad for you.

But since Web Watch cares about our readers, we thought we’d help you out with your hypertension and tell you what the FIVE SALTIEST RESTAURANT MEALS are, just in case you wanted to cut back a little and lower your overall sodium intake.

Drink this – it’s the Ultimate Hangover Cure of the Future

By web gangsta | Published: March 4, 2010


The Hangover

Hangovers.

We’ve all suffered through ‘em, whether it be at a Waffle House at 8am after a killer night on the town, or hanging out at the Magic Kingdom after doing DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD at Epcot at Walt Disney World three times too many in one day.

We’ve tried all the cures, but nobody really has attacked the real problem: that maybe it’s the alcohol that’s causing the hangover issue.

Leave it to scientists to figure out how to make HANGOVER-FREE ALCOHOL.

FOOD ALERT! Girl Scout cookie Thin Mints are still smaller, so try this recipe

By web gangsta | Published: February 22, 2010


Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint

It really shouldn’t bother Web Watch as much as it does.

After all, eating too many cookies of any type isn’t good for you.  Heck, even Cookie Monster says that “Cookies are a Sometimes Food”

But as the Chicago Sun-Times and others pointed out last year, Girl Scout cookies were getting a bit smaller, perhaps due to the recession.   There’s even a FACEBOOK page devoted to fans who want to get their 8 cookies back in the box.

But now an entire whole year has passed since, and Web Watch dutifully went to the local grocery store to buy our annual allottment of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas from the Girl Scouts (and their parents) trying to sell off their excess inventory*.

And Web Watch can confirm that this year’s Thin Mints Economic Indicator shows that the economy is still in the gutter as the 2010 box looks to be the same as the 2009 box.  That is, in 2010 we’re still looking at a smaller box and fewer cookies.

How to Use a Kitchen Knife (and keep your fingers)

By web gangsta | Published: February 18, 2010


Victorinox Kitchen Knife

If there’s one thing that Web Watch has learned from watching hours of Food Network programming, it’s that there are many different ways to maim yourself with a kitchen knife as there are foods that need to be sliced and diced.

Tom Mylan, owner of THE MEAT HOOK in Brooklyn, New York, knows a thing or two about proper knife usage since he uses them every day as part of his job.

January 23rd (National Pie Day) vs March 13th (National Pi Day)

By web gangsta | Published: January 22, 2010

Pie

January 23rd, as everyone knows, is NATIONAL PIE DAY.

And there are all sorts of ways for you to celebrate National Pie Day, including the obvious – such as “bake a pie” or “bring a pie to work”, and the not-so-obvious “have a pie fight” or “pass along pie memories” (whatever that means).

Even restaurants that are self-proclaimed “famous for their pies” have taken to promoting the need to CELEBRATE PIE.

By web gangsta | Published: January 3, 2010

Defense Soap

Every New Year, there are people who make casual New Year’s Resolutions that they hope to keep in order to better themselves (the traditional “stop smoking”, “exercise more”, and “spend more time with loved ones”), and then there are people like Richard Nikoley who believe in making a definitive lifestyle change for overall good.
