Zaylee Jean is only three years old, but it looks like she's on the road to stardom in the first episode of her show,
The Yippity Yo Cooking Show, where she shows you how to make her grandma's chocolate chip cookies. Okay, the video needs captions because it's hard to understand what she's saying/squealing, but I can't stop watching. Few cooking show hosts would say, "I will break you," in case you mess up the recipe, or mutter, "Son of a biscuit" while scooping Crisco out of a bowl. Probably because it's cutest when a three-year-old does it.

[Image: Egg Watchers] Egg Watchers by creative media company Poke is an online egg timer that will entertain you with an appropriately long YouTube video as your egg cooks. Just choose the size of your egg, whether it's straight from the fridge, and what doneness you want, and you'll get a random entertaining video. (Only warning is that you may not get the most appetizing video: On my first try I ended up Chainsaw Maid, a somewhat gruesome—albeit, cool—claymation of a family being attacked by zombies. When I tried it again, I got a Bjork music video.) [via NOTCOT.ORG] Related The Food Lab: Perfect Boiled Eggs What to Do with Leftover Hard-Boiled Eggs One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each...

As much as I love a classic Eggs Benedict, I can't help but blame the dish for pigeonholing one of my favorite foods--the poached egg. For addicts like myself, they're not only brunch's star attraction, they're also the perfect topping for most any pasta dish, sandwich, or green vegetable. That said, it's pretty essential to be able to achieve a perfectly runny yolk whenever the craving hits. After years of sometimes-success with the traditional vortex method (where boiling water and white vinegar are swirled into a vortex that keeps the egg together), I decided it was time to put some poaching cups to the test. What I happily discovered was that when you find a good set of poachers,...
