We’ve got a better technique, courtesy of Chef John of FoodWishes.com.

Refreshing a pizza on the stovetop delivers a much crisper pizza, in a fraction of the time it takes to heat the oven.

You can use this method for reheating day-old pizza; it’s also useful for crisping up pizza that was just delivered, to restore the fresh-out-of the-oven texture.

Here’s a special cocktail recipe for Thanksgiving. It includes pumpkin, maple syrup, bourbon and vodka.

The recipe was created with Kanon Organic Vodka by Demetrios Saites of the Fat Radish restaurant in New York City. Here’s a video that shows the cocktail preparation.

As a wee child we wasted many of our grandparents’ Alka-Seltzer tablets, just because we liked to watch them dissolve into bubbly effervescence. Drink them? Yuck!

Alka-Seltzer has many variations—Cold & Cough, Extra Strength, Flu, Gold, Heartburn, Lemon Lime, Night, Sinus and so forth. But for some reason, there’s no Hangover version.

Now, there’s no need. There’s a new relief aid in town, specifically designed to treat hangovers: Blowfish Hangover Relief. Upon waking from an evening of over-indulging, dissolve two tablets in 10 ounces of water and drink. It tastes like diet lemon Crystal Light.

And it works, according to THE NIBBLE’s favorite party animal, our product tester and head of I.T.

Buy it in a 12-tablet box or a box of 50, both foil-wrapped in the two-tablet prescribed portion.

Party on!

Pecans aren’t just for pie. Here’s a tasty recipe for Pecan-Coated Chicken Tenders with Bourbon Sauce.

If you prefer less sweetness in your savory dishes, as we do, cut the amount of honey in half. You can also substitute agave nectar for a lower-glycemic recipe.
