Vie's Burger is Worthy of One of the Best Restaurants in Chicago

Serious eats needs to get away from this obsession with burgers and pizzas. It's becoming embarrassing to discuss great food and 1/3 of all the content is about what most of us consider fast food.

I realize SE has to cater to a large audience but this is ridiculous.

Mixed Review: Dr. Oetker's Double Chocolate Mousse Supreme

I can't believe how complicated these chocolate mousse is. I make the stuff all the time and my friends rave about it.

200g of chocolate any kind
8 eggs

Melt chocolate (any kind) over very low heat or in a bain-marie.
Remove from heat and mix in 8 egg yolks.
Beat egg whites until they are firm.
Mix in 1 third of the egg whites into the egg and chocolates.
Gently fold the remainder of the egg whites into the chocolate and egg mixture making sure not to break too many bubbles.
Pour into smaller cups and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

This recipe works for me every single time and works best with very dark chocolate or sweetened chocolate.

Serious Green: Saving Energy By Using The Microwave

I've cooked salmon in the microwave oven. A few minutes for a decent piece and it's ready. Just drizzle some olive oil, citrus juice and season before you nuke it.

I actually find it easier to cook fatty fish in the microwave than in the conventional oven.

Fasta Pasta, The Microwavable Pasta Cooker

Plastic in the microwave is a bad idea. I don't know any plastic that survives repeated microwaving. If this was made in ceramic and more expensive I'd give it a go though.

Got Breast Milk?

I find it hilarious that people find human breast milk gross but not cow milk. One is made for us and one is made for cows.

I live in Canada where these are available. Easily the best frozen pizza you can get. My only beef with it is how salty they are.

What's this about observant jews not drinking anything made of corn? I didn't know about this. I thought pork was an issue but corn?

Rediscovering the Rickey

The rickey is like gin tonic except saltier rather than sweet. If you want something refreshing you should try the french pastis known as ricard or a good old mojito.
