Come on in 'The Kitchn'
Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.
This week, the Kitchn confronts the fish and cheese debate. Like the no wearing white after Labor Day "rule," it has some offenders.
Also on the Kitchn, six approved fondue pots, the fundamentals of good matzo ball soup, some surprisingly cheap products at Whole Foods, and strips of paper that test your coffee's caffeine levels.
- Gallery: 6 Fondue Pots under $100: Though it seems silly to spend the big bucks on a specialty item you only use a few times a year, it's melted cheese and chocolate we're talking. These fondue pots are under $100. Yeah, still not that cheap, but most are north of $150.
- What's the Secret to Good Matzo Ball Soup? Do you go for one big, tennis-sized ball in the middle of each bowl? Or several golf ball-sized ones? And what's the secret to keep the balls light but firm enough not to fall apart?
- How to Save Money by Shopping at Whole Foods: Crackers, diced tomatoes, cereal, and olive oil are all, relatively speaking, not that expensive, especially for organic products, when bought at Whole Foods compared to other stores.
- D+Caf Caffeine Test Strips: If you're caffeine-sensitive, dip these strips into your drink and watch them change colors if there's more than 20mg of caffeine. It's like science class, but for real life.
