Dine daily on a full serving of fresh news every morning. Why? Because it’s cheaper than your morning latte and more informative than your average nutritional label.
Wowser Wednesdays
- So this dude in Japan claims he can peel and cut a watermelon in under 30 seconds. Does he succeed? Either way, it makes for a good 60 seconds worth of entertainment, Miss Paper Pusher. Now git back to work. GIT, now...!
- What's the difference between an Eskimo Pie and a Klondike Bar? Between Cheez-Its and Cheez Nips, which one tastes better? Second Rate Snacks clues you in.
- Somewhere in the city of Kuettegen, concerned police followed a trail of blood for 12 miles. And wound up at a local sausage factory. Someone should dial B for Bacon.
- Resveratrol in pill form. Supposedly, the cancer-fighting chemical in grape skins tricks your body into thinking it needs to burn off fat. Finally you can hit up that all-you-can-eat buffet.

 Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema had his most recent
restaurant review of new Logan Circle eatery, Commissary, retracted after
he did not disclose his previous personal relationship with one of the
restaurant’s principals. The review, which was uncharacteristically harsh, claimed
that “Domino's tastes like haute cuisine” compared to the “flavorless pie” and “cardboard
crust” served at The Commissary.
It is unclear exactly what Sietsema’s relationship with the
principal was, or why it soured. Sietsema has been instructed not to respond to
media inquiries.
Until we try the food for ourselves, we'd like to give Sietsema the benefit of the doubt, though we agree that Sietsema should have alerted his editors to the personal relationship. After all, maybe the food really was that bad?
Update, Nov. 10: Washington City Paper agreed that the food was pretty awful.

Two For Tuesdays
- In general, when money is tight, junkfood beckons.
- Even those golden arches are hurting.
- But one couple tries to take a relatively nutritious high road when they decide to live on a dollar a day.
- But if you're living in New York and don't know how to cook, a dollar a day may not cut it - in which case, this list of cheaper dining substitutes for your favorite joints may be helpful.
- Or you can try cheating an all-you-can-eat buffet. Try, being the operative word.

 Teenage girls aren’t the only ones feeling pressure to be
perfect these days—according to the BBC, about 20% of fruits and vegetables in
Britain are deemed unworthy for resale due to physical flaws. The sale of “wonky” produce, or fruits and
veggies that don’t conform to stringent EU regulations, is actually punishable
by law. Store managers at Sainsbury’s locations
throughout the UK have been reminded that they run the risk of prosecution for
attempting to sell ugly produce such as “witch’s fingers carrots” or “zombie
brains” (cauliflowers). The popular British supermarket chain is demanding the
right to sell its imperfect produce at a reduced cost, so as to not negatively
affect the farmers who grow ugly fruits and veggies (it's just nature, after all). Though the EU has
acknowledged the need for reform, changes will not be made until next
year—unless a larger outcry against the wanton waste is heard.
