Pom's gone, but restaurant continues

After a whirlwind of diapers, sleep deprivation and getting to know my new daughter, I'm back at work. It looks like I've missed a lot while I was on leave, so please keep those tips coming.

You'll get your veggies, but at a pretty steep price

After all the rich food of the holidays, a simple meal with a side of steamed vegetables might be appealing, and there's an abundance of choices in the frozen food aisle.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. That old clock sounds like a cannon blasting this morning, eh? Are you suffering after overdoing it last night? You’re a bit nauseated, your mouth is dry and no amount of mouthwash will remove that icky taste on your tongue. Face it pal, you have a hangover.

Instead, shake things up with a few classics for your New Year's Eve party.

Dining out on Christmas Day? Here's a list of restaurants

The following restaurants are open on Christmas Day:

Whole grain brown rice mix not much of a success

Nutritionists say brown rice, which is the main ingredient in Success Herb Roasted Chicken Whole Grain Brown Rice Mix, is a more healthful choice than the white rice many grew up eating.

Some found the combination of grains unappealing while others thought it was too salty or lacked chicken flavor.

Christmas in Florida means a seafood dinner

Ah, the symbols of Christmas. They are so "New Englandy," as MSNBC news talker Rachel Maddow might say. Evergreens, with bending boughs dressed with heavy fresh snow, line a rural road just wide enough for a horse-drawn sleigh to pull a blanket-bundled couple en route to a family celebration. Stars twinkle on the cloudless night. The chilly temperature freezes out the world's troubles. Nice image, but what does that have to do with Florida?

Not your ordinary brewski

That much? For beer? People are used to their $4, $5 and $6 six-packs. And those who like imports and craft beers know they have to pay $7, $8 even $10 to take a six-pack home. But $10, $15 and even more for a bottle? What's up with that?

Lean Pockets sandwich good, both inside and out

Lean Pockets Chef Inspired sandwiches are lean (only 7 grams of fat), mean and made with a whole-grain crust. Recently, members of the Times-Union Consumer Panel tried the Grilled Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach sandwiches, and most thought they were good, especially the crust.

Now that's using the old eggnoggin
