My first cookbook was given to me by my mother for my 18th birthday and before I moved out on my own; Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. I honestly haven’t flipped though it in a long while, but it was the perfect college cookbook.

First cookbook? Probably Alton Brown. Favorite cookbook? Alton Brown. Weirdest cookbook? Alton Brown lol. Seriously, that guy is a genius. Insert title names, it doesn’t matter which book. Although I thoroughly enjoy his Good Eats cookbook series; I learn SO MUCH. And actually, I really loved Feasting on Asphalt; it…

I’m thinking i could saute artichoke hearts in some garlic and butter and make a garlic white sauce. Maybe add some shredded chicken... and have a pretty classy lunchable pizza.

Me too. The reason why I loved Pebble (and still proudly wear my Pebble Time Steel everyday), was that Pebble truly “got” what a smartwatch should be. Apple and Google are making smartwatches (or smarwatch OSes) that try to cram an entire phone-like experience on your wrist. Pebble focused on being a good watch with…

Definitely came here to talk about the pasta sauces. They’re great, and MUCH cheaper than even crappy Prego here in my area. The mushroom- and cheese-stuffed tortellinis are good, too (the ones that are shelf-stable and don’t have to be refrigerated). They’re handy when you’re in a big darn hurry, that’s for sure. …

I’d say these recs are pretty solid, however I’d exercise caution when it comes to fresh produce. When shopping aldi I find I have to be more careful about making sure the strawberries don’t have fuzz and that onions don’t have bad spots - more so than shopping at TJ’s or Giant Eagle etc...

I would also mention that…

I’ve had good luck with the 8 and 12-inch T-fal Nonstick Professional Frypans. Together they can be had for around $60, if that, and can take a relative beating. My wife has used them practically everyday for the past two years, and while the bottoms are discolored from all the heating, the nonstick surface is still…

Induction safe and longtime winner at ATK:

Just get one of the Dash steam egg cookers when it goes on sale again. Super easy, no mess, come out perfect every time, and easy to peel. Also the omelette tray is the perfect size for bagel sandwiches. Worth it!

It won’t be cloudy.

It’s not very weird, but I’d be lost without my egg cooker. Something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Elite-Cuisine-EGC-007-Maxi-Matic-Capacity/dp/B00F0RDRFS/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1501628440&sr=1-5&keywords=egg+cooker

An orange peeler! It used to be that they were only given away as prizes at Tupperware parties, and I have actually attended several only because I hoped to win one.

This thing hands down:

Spiralizer for zucchini noodles. It makes better noodles than using a mandolin.

Allow us Canadians to show you a window into the future we live in!

I’m a woman and I prefer Coke Zero. Diet Coke has a radically different recipe than Coke, it’s far more than ‘Coke without Sugar’ but Coke Zero tastes a lot more like actual coke so I prefer it. Changing Diet Coke to taste more like Coke is also not an option since Diet Coke has it’s own near cult like following.

Also…

Sorry but this is a horseshit opinion. Coke Zero tastes a lot different from Diet Coke, it’s sweeter and has that spicy, slightly citrusy flavor to it like Coca-Cola whereas Diet Coke does not. (The “base formula” of Coke Zero is the original Coke formula whereas the base formula of Diet Coke was and is the New Coke…

Anyone who has ever gone on a run knows the clip-on iPod Shuffle is infinity times more useful than any phone while working out. People who strap a whole phone to their arm just to listen to music (and inevitably text while sitting on workout equipment others want to use) are idiots.

I think apple is missing an opportunity to transition these models to the sportswear/activity community, tie it in with their Apple Health. Create a Fitbit competitor

The physical buttons on these (and the iPod Classic) also made them fantastic for driving, as the tactile feedback made it much easier to skip songs without looking.
