Whenever I go out to eat where hush puppies are served, I can't help but order some. They are so addicting! Unfortunately, they're also usually pretty expensive for what they are. Last time I ordered them at a restaurant, they were $1 each. That was definitely a wakeup call for me since a whole batch can be made up for not much more than that! Here's what you'll need to make about 24 hush puppies:

I think I speak for the masses when I say that scrambled eggs are one of the most delicious, timeless, enjoyable dishes ever created. It’s the first thing I ever learned to cook with my mom at three years old, standing beside her on a chair, with a kitchen towel “apron” wrapped around my waist. Its the culinary embodiment of sheer simplicity and pure magic.

Prince Harry likely met the 2013 birth of Prince George with some relief. For his entire life, he’d been third in line for the throne, with his father Charles the heir and William next up. Though it was unlikely both Charles and William would die before their time, it was certainly not impossible.

We often think of scrambled eggs as the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket: when we're a bit tired and need comfort and support, they're there for us. The ingredients for a basic scramble are almost always on hand, and they're so simple and quick to make that most of us can put together a decent plate of them even at our worst, whether it's first thing in the morning before the coffee is ready or the wee hours of the night after too much partying. In either case, you know you'll get a soothing dose of nourishment with very little effort.

Is there a way to make the classic BLT even better? We certainly think so—and we nominate this iteration as the best there may be. For this millionaire bacon BLT, the bacon is crisp and candied, but plenty of the smoky-savory bacon flavor still shines through. Lightly toasted bread keeps the sandwich from falling apart (and isn't so hard that it cuts the roof of your mouth).

It's easy to tell when you've undercooked a pizza: The crust hasn't browned at all, the middle looks too chewy, and the dough will be soggy in a very gross, unappetizing way. There's also some risk: Raw dough can contain pathogens that you'd kill by cooking properly, and a pizza isn't safe until it's entirely cooked. When you ask about the ideal temperature for baking a pizza in a standard kitchen oven, the conventional wisdom is "as hot as your oven gets." A common mistake with cooking pizzas is temperature, and whatever temperatures you're used to cooking at, you likely need to go even higher for a pizza.

Costco's chocolate-covered almonds are hailed as a beloved treat, making it impossible to avoid snacking on them throughout the day. Though most people know the chain's trademark chocolatey nuts are part of its successful in-house Kirkland label (which followed several failed attempts), there's another company involved in their production. Blommer Chocolate Company is the largest chocolate manufacturer in North America, and it's mainly thanks to this Chicago-based brand that Costco customers can stock up on Kirkland's roasted almonds covered in milk chocolate.

Some great dishes are born from minimalism, but not chili. To make a good, cookoff-worthy chili, you should be dumping about half of your spice cabinet in there, and that's only a slight exaggeration. Chili should have a bold flavor. Of course, that means plenty of chili powder, cayenne pepper, and hot paprika, but you need more than just spiciness. A touch of smokiness will help you harken back to the early versions of chili eaten around campfires on the American frontier.

Van Gogh never got to enjoy his own historic success as an artist (even though we've been able to imagine what that moment might have looked like). But it turns out that those of us who have appreciated his work have been missing out on some critical details for more than 100 years.I'm not easily impressed, OK?I know Van Gogh was a genius. If the point of this were "Van Gogh was a mad genius," I would not be sharing this with you.

In 125 years, millions of people have looked at this painting. No one really saw it until recently.
