« Previous EntriesThe Baby Q
Sunday, November 18th, 2007For our first wedding anniversary, I bought The Husband a Webber Baby Q to go along with the terrace in our new apartment. Technically such things aren’t allowed — both by building rules and by, well, law — but if you’re careful and aren’t shooting fireworks out of your little grill, no one really […]
Art’s Pumpkin Seeds
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
On a vast stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, where rest stops or convience stores are slim, I picked up a bag of Art’s Pumpkin Seeds at some typically California looking coastal place. One nut and I was hooked. These are perhaps the best pumpkin seeds I have ever ever tasted. Plump, crisp, just the right […]
Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer = Cheesecake
Friday, October 19th, 2007We’re all about the retro here at Hey You! today! I mean, doesn’t this Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer just scream 1950’s housewife making her favorite dinner for her family??? I own a stand mixer and I just love the thing to pieces. My favorite thing to make with it is my sugar-free […]
Newman’s Own
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007While I’m on a celebrity endorsed products jag, let’s talk about Newman’s Own. I remember seeing this stuff when it started out as a salad dressing back some 20 years ago and thinking: what the fuck (and not WTF, because that didn’t exist back then) does Paul Newman know about salad dressing and doesn’t he […]
Shop Rachel Ray
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I know, I know, I can’t get off the Rachel Ray subject. I’ve got a girl crush, what can I say? I look at her store all the time, but have found it difficult to justify making any purchases. We did just get married last year, and have new sets of everything […]
Flameless Q!
Monday, October 8th, 2007Here in Manhattan, there’s a very big problem. BBQ-ing is, technically speaking, pretty much illegal unless you’re on the ground. Now that might seem like an odd statement to non-urban folks, but the thing is, it’s rare here to have any outdoor space of your own (i.e. a backyard or patio or porch) because unless […]
Sweet Meats
Monday, October 8th, 2007
How fucking cute are these Sweet Meats? For sure if you have an Atkins devotee in your life, you need to get one of these as a present for the very next possible occasion. Really. What could possibly be better than a stuffed ham bone or T-bone? And let’s not forget the ribs, hot dogs, […]
Atkins Advantage
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007I’ve been doing Atkins for over four years now, and it’s remarkable watching what’s happened to the low carb “craze” during that time and to the Atkins company itself. I started just before the huge explosion of low carbing. The Atkins product line was large and growing, Slowly, other companies introduced low carb convenience foods […]
Arizona Diet Blueberry Green Iced Tea
Monday, October 1st, 2007Man this stuff is like heaven in a glass. It’s been kind of difficult to find here in the City, but now they’ve come out with these enormous gallon-sized jugs of the stuff and I can find them at my local drug store all the time now. Nothing in a glass makes me happier than […]
Spice Hunter
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007Once I got moving on my whole “I know how to cook” thing, I went off to explore the internet for the most exotic and best ingredients I could find. One site I stumbled over in my food travels is Spice Hunter. Several orders later, I was hooked. The quality of their spices is really […]
