4 Fundamentals of Nonalcoholic Cocktails
Posted in Featured
But spirit-free cocktails aren’t for everyone; they can feel a little too much like boozy cocktails for some people. (The U.K. is way ahead of us in spirit-free bottlings for nonalcoholic drinks, but many will make their way to the U.S. in the coming months and years.) If you can make a salad dressing, you can make a nonalcoholic cocktail: It’s about layering flavors and getting the balance right. It’s worth remembering, too, that you don’t always need one-to-one substitutes; you’re not locked into imitating classic cocktails when you make nonalcoholic drinks for Dry January (or anytime). Cut the sweetnessDrinking soda or fruit juice is not the same as drinking a well-made nonalcoholic cocktail, in part because those drinks are straightforwardly sweet.

Ben & Jerry’s Issued A Statement About The Riot At The Capitol
Posted in Featured
Ben & Jerry's issued a statement condemning the violent acts at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., this week, saying that it was "not a protest—it was a riot to uphold white supremacy" and calling on President Donald Trump to resign. Yesterday was not a protest—it was a riot to uphold white supremacy. As Ben & Jerry's noted in their tweets, they are the first Black and first Jewish senators from the state of Georgia, respectively. They’ve been exposed to the white tyranny that was on full display at yesterday’s riot since the founding of our nation. It’s the double standard that undergirds white supremacy in our nation," Ben & Jerry's tweeted.

Hot Cocoa, Yes. And Also Hot Butterscotch
Posted in Featured
But sipping through all the possible combinations would likely get old after a while, even if you’re really, really into cocoa. If you find yourself cocoa-bored in the coming wintry weeks at home, you should know about chef Michelle Polzine’s Hot Butterscotch, which appeared in her lovely book, Baking at the 20th Century Cafe. “But then I always thought butterscotch things were disgusting, like butterscotch chips for baking, and butterscotch candy. If you can only find dark, Polzine recommends skipping the brown sugar in the mix and just using granulated white sugar instead.) Hot butterscotch is nice with a little whipped cream.

How to Clean Your Coffee Grinder
Posted in Featured
If, like me, you think you’re “cleaning” your coffee grinder simply by wiping it with a paper towel every once in a while, I have some news: We’ve been doing it wrong. Cleaning coffee grinders isn’t exactly intuitive, especially if you want to do it the right way—really getting down into the gears and freeing them of a virtually invisible layer of coffee oil. I combed cleaning sites and coffee blogs for tips on actually-effective ways to clean your coffee grinder, then tested them for myself. You could grab Q-tips or toothpicks, but a coffee grinder cleaning brush is a thing that exists, and is so much more civilized. Instead of grinding a handful of rice to pick up all of the coffee bits—a DIY method that can be damaging to your blades—I picked up a pack of coffee grinder cleaning tablets.

Can I make hummus with canned chickpeas? You can definitely use canned chickpeas for this hummus recipe.

I Tried The Most Popular Menu Items From Panera, And These Were The Best

Panera was my third home in high school (the first being home, duh, the second being school, also duh)—my friends and I gathered at our neighborhood Panera nearly every day after school. Best Sandwich: Toasted Frontega ChickenI couldn't put this sandwich down. Best Soup: Mac & CheeseI know. This is controversial to *not* choose the broccoli cheddar soup; after all, mac & cheese isn't even a soup!
