If you buy natural peanut butter an even better use for that almost empty jar would be to divide your peanut butter between a new jar, after stirring until your arm falls off, and the almost empty one and keep the new jar in the fridge for future use.

Because I’m not a regular wine drinker and an opened bottle doesn’t last more than a few days, $15 is my sweet spot, regardless of the occasion, for any type of wine I choose. As far as spirits go I’m willing to splurge a little more just because I know a Johnny Walker Red doesn’t hold water to a good single malt…

My advice for anyone looking to lose weight is to read up on the 3 or 4 diets that continuously show up on those "Best Diets" lists, like the Mediterranean, DASH, or TLC diet, and incorporate all the things you like about each diet into your own customized plan. That way you won't confine yourself to any special meals…

I guess Uni (Sea Urchin) is the weirdest as far as taste and texture go but I've had chocolate covered crickets and escargot before and although I didn't care much for the crickets, escargot is amazing. As for the Uni it really didn't taste bad but once you start burping you get the foulest stench in your mouth.

I love the frozen vegetable blends they sell at Trader Joe's. They're only $1.99 a bag and they have a wide variety of veggies mixed in each bag. Just stir fry it with some olive oil or any sauce or seasoning you want for 4 minutes and you're set.

Being in my mid 30s, one of the newest deal breakers I added to my list is over-sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. My parents have been married for 30 years and in the last 5 years or so I've noticed there's a constant battle over the thermostat setting during summer and winter months because my mother can't…

Being a health-conscious eater who's lost a significant amount of weight I completely understand why you'd want to read nutrition labels and know what you're putting inside your body but sometimes you just have ignore that voice inside your head that's always asking, "Is what I'm about to eat/drink good for me?" and…

I like the combination of butter and olive oil with fresh eggs to get nice and fluffy scrambled eggs. I only use a teaspoon of each and preheat the pan for a minute before dropping in the eggs. Then I lower the heat to medium-low and start mixing the eggs. I also incorporate a little bit of Gordon Ramsey's method by…

Oh, I see. I wasn't looking at the right funds. So I can start with the Investor Shares and work my way up to Admiral Shares once I have enough funds in my account. Thanks

"Also, keep in mind: some index funds have minimum buy-ins. This means you might have to buy at least $3,000 worth of the fund to buy any at all."

In-store pickups are only good for restaurants, especially Chipotle, because you can pay online and pick up your order at the register bypassing that long line of people waiting just to order their food.

A few months back I encountered a homeless woman sitting outside of a liquor store and as I walked past her I assumed she'd ask for change but instead she asked me if I can buy her a can of beer. It was a hot day and I figured one beer isn't going to her any harm so I said, "Sure" and went inside and got my Gatorade…

The Capital One cash back card for people with average credit is called QuicksilverOne. You still get 1.5% cash back on all purchases but it comes with a $39 annual fee. I use this card for most purchases I make then I just pay off my balance each month and redeem my earned cash by crediting my account. Right now I…

I know this might not be as practical as the service Aereo provides but why hasn't anyone built a digital TV tuner/antennas USB dongle that you can plug into a laptop or a tablet to watch broadcast TV?

After upgrading from Windows XP to 7 I have yet to encounter a blue screen of death so I simply thought those things don't exist anymore. I guess I was sadly mistaken.

I wonder if the stainless steel tea ball I have will work as good for steeping coffee grounds as it does for tea leaves. It'll holds approx. 25 ~ 30 grams of ground coffee so that'll be perfect for a single serving of iced coffee.

If you've ever watched Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern you know why secret menus exist. Not a lot of Americans would enjoy a bowl of live octopus soup.

Pshh, these scammers can't trick me. I've got Win 7 Internet Security 2013 on all of my computers.

Hmm, I wonder if inverting a bunch of shot glasses on a baking sheet and just molding the cookie dough around them would give you the same results. You could spray some non-stick baking spray on the glasses too so the cookie doesn't stick. I think I'm going to try this over the weekend and see how well it works.

To me the idea of drinking my breakfast sounds awful. I just can't imagine sitting at the table with a cup of coffee on one side and a smoothie on the other. If you have a small piece of fruit for breakfast and one as a snack in the afternoon you've already eaten your daily recommended allowance of fruit. As far…
