The Roommate from Hell

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 6, 2012

Web Watch agrees that this type of thing can happen to anyone.

Everybody has some odd roommate story that they can share. We went through 6 months of one roommate never doing their own laundry.

What?

Yeah, it’s true. Many years back, we shared an apartment with two guys… and one of them, apparently, didn’t have any socks of his own. He would “borrow” socks from Web Watch (we shudder to think if he was “borrowing” underpants from our other roommate), and then toss the dirtys into the appropriate hamper for the unsuspecting soul to wash on laundry day.

For a while, Web Watch could never understand why we were always running out of clean socks ahead of where we thought we would be in the laundry cycle. Sure, we figured it out – but by then, it was too late. A use pattern had set in.

Luckily, we were able to kick him out – and laundry returned to normal levels.

Web Watch isn’t the best to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be eating, most likely because we would never listen to a thing we say about this (“do as we say, not as we do” doesn’t apply to us, it seems).

But our good friends over at EAT THIS, NOT THAT have come up with a list of the FIVE GROSSEST THINGS YOU’RE EATING that will probably make you think again about the crap that you’re putting into your body every day.

Most people can’t tell the difference between a $5 and $50 bottle of wine

Web Watch learned the hard way how to appreciate wine.

For years, we avoided wine like the plague – preferring vodka, beer, or other alcoholic alternatives to all types of wine. We just didn’t enjoy it as much as we were told we should.

Then one day, we received a $125 bottle of wine as a gift.

That is when our opinion on wine changed dramatically.

The Most Expensive Restaurants in America

Post author By web gangsta
Post date March 9, 2012

A few months back, Web Watch wrote about the TOP 100 RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD.

Now, while you may not be able to travel all around the world to eat at one of the top 100 restaurants, you could always try treating yourself by eating at one of these MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS IN AMERICA.

One thing that these restaurants don’t do that makes them so special? All the things that Web Watch looks for in a quality dining establishment, perfect for date night:

They don’t have chairs/tables bolted to the floor
They don’t have a drive-thru window
They don’t serve free meals for kids with an adult meal purchase

Top 10 Most Successful Celebrity Chefs

Post author By web gangsta
Post date March 2, 2012

Celebrity Chefs are a unique entity, unlike any other profession.

Where fans can watch a professional sports event (football, golf, tennis), we know that we can never be as good as they are in their particular field of play. We’ll play those sports for fun, with the full realization that we would never be able to do anything even close to what those folks are able to pull off on a regular basis.

But celebrity chefs? They’re just cooking. We can cook, too.

It doesn’t take that much skill to grill a steak to perfection – Web Watch does this all the time, and our steaks come out absolutely fantastic.

Restaurant-quality, if we do say so ourselves.

Granted, we need to pay a little more for some higher-quality ingredients on occasion to really pull off some incredible meals, but that’s a choice that we consciously make. In any case, the average home cook does have the exact same tools available to them as the Celebrity Chef does, so in some ways it really is an even playing field here.

Going on a first date? Here’s what your drink choice says about you…

First dates are always rough.

Especially if it’s a blind date.

You’re typically going to meet at a bar (a “safe place” for some), and order a couple of drinks and have a few laughs.

The hope is that you want to hit it off, and maybe Get Some later tonight. But you may have completely ruined your chances before you even opened your mouth.

Why?

Because First Impressions are a key element to having a successful First Date. And there is one thing you can do to ensure that your first impression is a good one.

And that’s to be careful with what you’re seen with as your first drink.

Are you an ethical diner? Here’s how to select the best-run restaurant for your next meal

We all enjoy eating out at restaurants.

The food is typically well-prepared, and who doesn’t enjoy being waited on by a young go-getter who is eager to please and provide the Ultimate Dining Experience?

Ok, well maybe not every restaurant you eat at ends up being the Ultimate Dining Experience, but go with us on the concept here.

Let’s look at this from another viewpoint – if you were going to work at a restaurant, would you rather work at a restaurant that provided the Ultimate Employee Experience, or one that treated all of their employees without care?
