I was working the soups and sauces station at a popular restaurant in the late '80s when the chef handed me a recipe to make as the special of the day. The chef, who was also the owner, had lived in France and taught me to make several authentic French dishes. This one, called a pan bagnat, opened my eyes to a whole different way to sandwich.

"They get more than us, Why nobody told me about this?". If you're looking for a tasty option that won't break the bank, a Chick-fil-A's kids' meal might be just what you're after.

Picture this: It's 4:45 p.m. on a Friday, and you're mindlessly scrolling through social media, waiting for the workday to come to an end and the "slams laptop shut until Monday" bell tolls. Your eyes fall upon an image of a jewel-toned cocktail with the caption "It's 5 o'clock somewhere." You think to yourself, "Yes, here!" Your mouth waters. You scroll further to see the description. Sure enough, there are instructions for making the scrumptious-sounding drink. But your heart falls. Not only are you missing several of the key ingredients and specialty home bar tools, but the instructions seem overly complicated. Where did you put your muddler and how do you make simple syrup again? The clock strikes 5 p.m. You slam that laptop shut and end up cracking open a beer instead, feeling utterly disappointed that the watery lager you're sipping isn't a tequila sunrise — or even a tequila sunset.

If you're trying to master the art of baking bread, there's likely one step of the process that's tripping you up: Proofing your bread correctly. Even experts agree, like Nathan Myhrvold, the author of the Modernist Cuisine cookbook series. "Calling proof is a part of the bread-making craft that's hard to teach — even experienced bakers find it can be one of their most difficult tasks," he says. It's not a hard concept to wrap your head around, but getting it right takes practice.

Grilling or pan searing salmon can have its challenges, including issues with overcooking and sticking to the pan or grill. Baked salmon, on the other hand, is a much more forgiving cooking method that is often lower in added fat. The problem with baking salmon is that it leaves a lot to be dsired visually. A white protein called albumin often appears on the surface of salmon that throws off the look, and it can be tricky to achieve the golden-brown caramelization that occurs with pan seared fish.

The best thing since sliced bread is probably being able to buy sliced bread — at the grocery store, that is. While nothing hits quite like the smell of freshly baked bread, and we all had our sourdough eras during the pandemic, most of us greatly appreciate the convenience of being able to pick up a standard, inexpensive loaf at the grocer's. And if you've ever felt inferior about opting for the store-bought variety versus making your own, or shelling out for the higher quality artisan stuff, you shouldn't.

The One Time Supermarket Bread Is Superior To The Artisanal Stuff

Slow cookers — sometimes called Crock-Pots, due to the famous brand name — are one of the most dependable kitchen appliances. They've been around for decades, and, despite becoming more visually modern through the years, these countertop cookers have basically remained the same. Using a slow cooker is easy, but the best part of these contraptions is that you can leave them on all day, allowing you to start a meal in the morning and have it ready after work. But using one requires following a few pieces of advice, including avoiding making common slow cooker mistakes, like opening the lid. Still, there is one time when you can open the lid: to thicken whatever is inside.

The Only Reason You Should Open The Lid When Making A Slow Cooker Meal

Much care and attention go into the exterior of a cake — spreading perfectly smooth icing, creating delicate petal-like decorations, using intricate frosting patterns and colors. There's nothing quite as impactful and wow-inspiring, though, as a surprise delight on the inside, revealed only upon cutting into the baked confection. Whether you're making a just-because treat or a birthday celebration stunner, level up from plain Jane interiors next time with a gorgeous cherry blossom design that's actually far less complex to pull off than you'd think.

Ready in just 30 minutes, it features a garlicky, buttery pan sauce over chicken cutlets. We chose cutlets so they would cook faster in the skillet, but you could use thighs. Serve with asparagus, a fresh tomato-cucumber salad, or simple roasted potatoes for an easy weeknight dinner.

Made famous in 2000 by former First Lady Laura Bush, these cowboy cookies are an updated twist on a traditional oatmeal cookie, trading raisins for chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home.

This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Beef jerky is savory, chewy, and satisfying, but unfortunately it has a fairly high price tag. At around $20 per pound for a bag of beef jerky, it's somewhat shocking how much it costs, especially considering how fast you can demolish a small bag of the tasty dehydrated meat. Due to its high cost, this addictive snack is more of a treat than an everyday grocery item, often strategically placed near the checkout to encourage last-minute impulse buys. But what makes this seemingly simple snack so expensive anyway?
