From Behind the Bar: Real Estate

First of all for every two people you upset and will never visit your bar again there are likely three more coming up behind to order drinks. The issue isn't whether or not business is going to decline. However, I think this is poor service. I go to bars and I drink, and I go to bars and I drink water. I have had want for stools, or a chair, or even a sturdy wall to lean on. I have not ever cursed out another patron, either out loud or under my breath, because they have a stool and I don't regardless of whether they are drinking water or iced tea or long island iced tea. I think this practice is simply rude, and uncalled for.

All this Olive Oil Adulteration talk is making me wonder...

The Burger Lab: How To Make Any Cheese Melt Like American (Almost)

what would be the best way of doing this without a steamer? Maybe small ceramic cups of cheese in a mesh strainer over the water with a lid? Also I know it's about adding moisture but is there anyway this might be achieved in a microwave?

Do you like buffets...really?

I'll eat at a buffet occasionally, my feeling is you should kind of know what you're getting into. Most buffets, unless you find one that is really special the quality of the food comes in at a distant second to the quantity.

healthy sport snacks for all day tournaments

I've recently discovered this new mixture, dry whole rolled oats mixed with planters new 5 alarm chili peanuts. The oats help balance out the heat some, along with the carbs, fiber and protein to keep you going all day. Also they keep great in any kind of conditions just so long as they keep dry of course.

The World's Easiest Homemade Donuts

I'm a bachelor in my 20's and stumbled on this site a couple of months ago. I Love it and tell my friends about all the great stuff on it and while I appreciate putting together a complicated recipes every once in a while I also like shortcuts. Something like this sounds perfect to impress some friends hungover one morning.

Horchata

I don't know if blanching is a necessity or not but using a cheese cloth with the strainer will reduce the grittiness

Going Nuts for Horchata

Has anyone tried adding coffee grounds to give this a little more of a mocha flavor? I'm planning on making this soon and am wondering if that will totally ruin it or not. Haha

Doughnut Soup

Doughnut Soup

This creamy, dreamy dish is the ultimate in doughnut decadence. It starts by caramelizing glazed doughnut in a buttery bath, then mixing it with milk and heating the mixture until the flavors merge beautifully in a hot, sweet, very creamy broth. It's my easy-to-prepare take on a dessert served at Chicago's MOTO, a restaurant revered in the world of molecular gastronomy. More

Microwave Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Microwave Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Here's a quick-fix dessert that doesn't taste like desperation: chocolate cake prepared in a mug, in the microwave. With a consistency something like a steamed pudding, this chocolate cake might not rival a French chocolate cake in sophistication, but nonetheless holds its own as an easy convenience dessert. And should you find some ice cream or whipped cream to top it with, well, all the better. More
