Cheese Buns

While I realize it's fairly obvious which one is which, the recipe could be better written if it clarified that the grated cheese is inside and the sliced goes on top.

The Best Way to Eat Popeye's Fried Chicken

It also get super crispy if you bake rather than refry it. There is enough oil in the crust to let it get all sizzly and crisp in the oven and some of the extra tends to drip off. Then you can have moderately less unhealthy fried chicken, if there is such a thing.

Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 181: The Dentist Diet, Painfully Effective

A stomach virus or a bad case of the flu are also quite effective for weight loss although I wouldn't recommend it as a dieting tactic.

Frito-Lay to Pull Noisy Compostable SunChips Bags from Shelves

OK first let's address the 100% compostable claim. Yes, if you put them in an industrial compost facility or simulate it in a controlled environment, they will indeed decompose in 6 months. BUT, if you put them in a backyard compost heap, your conditions are probably not good enough for it. Additionally, it will not decompose in a landfill because landfills definitely do not have the right conditions. Industrial compost facilities will not take the Sun Chips bags. They would have to sort it out and identify if it is in fact a compostable material and not regular plastic packaging and they don't have the resources to do that. If you throw Sun Chips bags into your compost that goes to a compost facility, they will sort it out and put it in the trash. Don't take my word for it, contact your compost facility.

Then there is cost. Typically the biodegradable materials used to replace plastics are significantly more expensive than plastic, usually 2+ times the cost.

The energy requirements to produce these biodegradable materials is also quite high so often the carbon footprint is bigger for the biodegradable materials than conventional plastics.

And then of course there is the noise.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 123: Why Does Making a Salad Seem So Hard Sometimes?

really good produce helps. growing your own also helps. i don't find a salad to be a very satisfying dinner after a long day but some grilled mixed veggies fresh from the garden definitely has its appeal. i'm hoping the fact that assuming everything grows, I will have an insane amount of zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. I am hoping that will inspire me to eat them fresh from the garden.

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

How to Make Patbingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)

I was totally with you until the mixing. Then I was just about to cry. Just the thought of stirring all that goodness up makes me cringe. I'm one of those people where each item has a section of the plate. They don't touch. I especially like the tupperwares where you have compartments for each thing.
