Worth It: The Only Household Product You'll Ever Need

Jenna Sauers — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:25:00 EDT

Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn't get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited). And that's how it should be. But on our own time, in our personal lives, we still buy stuff. So this is Worth It, our daily recommendation of random things that we've actually spent our own money on. These are the things we buy regularly or really like, things we'd actually tell our friends about. And now we're telling you. More »

Saucy!

Sadie Stein — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:20:00 EST

We know what we're whipping up this weekend: a big batch of "Jezebel Sauce." The concoction is made up of apple jelly, preserves (pineapple is a repeat suspect), dry mustard and horseradish, and seems to be used alternately as an appetizer — "spooned over a brick of cream cheese and served with crackers" — or as an accompaniment to pork loin, and lurks in mid-century Junior League cookbooks around the country. Try it — we dare you! [MLive, WKRG] More »

Oldie But Baddie

Jessica G. — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:20:00 EST

Former Cosmo EIC Helen Gurley Brown is a self-proclaimed "diet nut," and Esquire unearthed this terrible-sounding recipe that Brown offered for a 1984 issue of the magazine. The recipe is for "Skinny Hot-Buttered Rum" and consists of fake butter, fake sugar, boiling water and rum. "I substitute fake ingredients for all of the fattening ones, and it's delicious," Helen insists. Maybe it's "delicious" because you're too drunk to notice? Esquire also has a recipe for Nancy Reagan's Monkey Bread, but we're not touching that one. [Esquire, Esquire] More »
