Stoned Wheat Thins...Awesome, man!
http://www.amazon.com/Stoned-Wheat-Thins-10-6-Ounce-Boxes/dp/B000F9XB7K

# Made with cracked wheat for an extra hearty flavor
Right on, but I'll eat anything when I'm totally blazed!

# No cholesterol or saturated fats
Better snacking material if I'm going to eat a whole box!

# Crispy wheat taste complements your favorite dips and cheeses
Cheese in a can, or my canna-butter hummus? Yeah man, it's all good.

# Made in Canada
Goes great with B.C. bud, bro! Keep it chill.

The Tornado Potato Touches Down in the U.S.

It doesn't look as good as fries and looks messier than fries but I would give it a try for novelties sake.

Life Lessons I Learned From Top Chef Masters

But it is better to take their attitudes into life because a lot of the time that's all you can do, getting bent won't help a thing, you just look like an ass.

Life Lessons I Learned From Top Chef Masters

It's all about the charity. These people have secure livelihoods, they already have what the regular season contestants want so they can afford to screw around. Same as on charity game shows.

Coffee Top Caddy: Yea or Nay?

It may be over engineered, but it doesn't seem to use any more resources than the current system, same cups, same molded lids (different design), same creamers and sugars.

Banh Mi + Panini = Banhmi-Ni

I thought that was cool but I think back to my first time with a banh mi and was smitten by the crumbs on my lips and the fresh crisp but soft still warm bread, and the contrast between meat, bread, herbs and spread. and pickles. Some places' bread isn't worth eating and would probably be better pressed, but really good fresh bread would be destroyed.

Mr. T's FlavorWave Oven Apes George Foreman's Grill

I'll be expecting they'll be using that on the next top chef as one of the challenges.
Seriously. It would be the ideal vessel to "craft" a delicious bertolli oven bake meal, which I assume is an upcoming challenge.

Animal Style Fries at In-N-Out Burger

By the way, on the animal style burger they put pickles on too, which don't come stock on the regular burger, that saves a step from what I did for years which was cheeseburger grilled onions and pickles. But their fries are shite. They are only fried once, and are limp and cardboardy as a result, I have asked for them well done and they come out as crisp husks of what were fries. Not good either way.

Addicted to Food

I tend not to eat as much when I cook.
I try and eat small portions and to savor them more.
I try not to drink much soda because it it very calorie rich and it's very easy to drink a lot of calories that way.
I haven't read up on it, but I'm pretty sure some people are genetically predisposed to addictions and food is one of them. I think it comes down to willpower at that point, nobody's shoveling the food into your mouth, it's all you.
I'd deal with "food that isn't even that good" and "food that happens to be available". Don't eat it, it's crap. Even if it's free, they should be paying you to eat crap. Have a bite, realize it's junk and toss the rest, that's taking control of your eating habits. That's why I rarely refill my fountain drinks or make a choice to get plain iced tea instead of coke, they should be paying you to drink it. I've been 195 pounds and I'd rather not have my thighs rub and chafe against each other again. Also if you eat smaller meals, you will get used to it and you will train yourself to be satisfied with less in your belly. These are all conscious choices you need to make, if you have a problem with it you need to try harder than other people, chew your food more, savor and enjoy it more but eat less. Eating is a very sensual experience, and people gain comfort in it, I know I have, but it won't make you feel better ultimately, you'll just get fat.
You have a chocolate bar, you can eat it in a couple minutes or take a square and savor it, then repeat once more, and that will take a couple minutes. What do you have after that time? You have the taste of chocolate in your mouth in both instances, but you still have most of the chocolate bar in the second instance to savor tomorrow or later.
If you really don't want to stop your inputs you need to raise your outputs, hit the gym, do strength training and cardio, get a personal trainer if you can afford it. I started doing pilates for a back issue and as a fringe benefit I noticed some weight loss (along with slight diet change). You really don't need anything but an area to exercise in. I can recommend some easy exercises to start if you want.

If you were to subscribe to one food magazine, it would be _____

Cook's doesnt give daring recipes or anything, but I like that they break them down and say why they chose what they do, you can learn more about technique and why instead of how and that grows your knowledge. I like the layout and drawings on the back and the paintings on the front. the only thing I don't like is Bowtie McKimball's homespun yarns. I get bon appetit, gourmet, and saveur I think saveur's my favorite.

Help Me Hollow Out Some Limes, Please!!

glad youre disaster was averted, but I just wanted to add that if you have a grapefruit knife, that would work splendidly. It has a blade of 3-4 inches, a slight bend, and fine serrations, some of them have squared serrations but I like the fine ones
http://www.amazon.com/Henckels-Select-Stainless-Steel-Grapefruit-Knife/dp/B00006C7GO This one was about $10 bucks a couple years ago.
That's a really cool idea for jello shots.

In Videos: How Are Hot Dogs Made? Find Out (If You Dare)

Whatddaya think it was, magic? Cheese and rice! Hot dogs are one of the noblest meats, in my opinion, because it uses all the trimmings, not those elitist choice cuts. If I was killed, parted out and eaten, I wouldn't want anything to go to waste either. Besides, they are delicious. I'd rather have a hot dog in a crackly casing any day over one of them skinless wieners though.

maybe they have a stunt can with weight in the top, that would make it a heck of a lot easier to kick the can in from the ground, and the weight wouldn't be shifting like liquid would.
