3 Simple Steps for Crispy Skin on Your Turkey Every Time — Tips from The Kitchn
Crispy turkey skin is quite possibly the best part of the Thanksgiving meal. We know that brining a turkey will yield a roast turkey with moist, juicy meat, but what about the skin? Everybody loves crispy skin. Here are three key steps you need to take to ensure perfectly crispy skin every single time.
Tara O’Brady Says You Should Stop Calling Food “Ethnic” — Food News
“Ethnic food” is a phrase most of us have heard, possibly even recently. But what does it mean, specifically? If “ethnic” means to come from a certain national or cultural tradition, then literally all food would be ethnic food. But Tara O’Brady, the award-winning cookbook author, food writer, and proprietor of the popular blog Seven Spoons, explains that’s not the way people tend to use the phrase “ethnic food,” and she says it’s time to retire it. Because in practice what people mean when they talk about “ethnic food” is the food of non-white people, and that usage contributes to power differences and hierarchies in the food world that it’s past time to do away with.
38 Million Fire Extinguishers Are Currently Recalled — Food News
When I was 26 I set my wok on fire seasoning it (before I knew how to do it properly), but luckily my trusty fire extinguisher took care of things before it became really serious. That’s why the news that 38 million fire extinguishers are being recalled right now — models made over the last 44 years — is especially unnerving.
Anthony Bourdain Sings the Praises of This Big-Name Food Celebrity — Pop Culture
Anthony Bourdain has never been one to hold back his language regarding other chefs and food personalities. He is always the first to call someone out on doing things incorrectly or doing them just for show when good, honest food isn’t involved. So, when Refinery29 recently asked Bourdain which big-name food star he think actually gets it right when it comes to food, we had to find out.
To no one’s surprise, Anthony Bourdain thinks highly of the one and only Ina Garten.
The Best Wine to Pick Up from Aldi for Your Thanksgiving Table — Shopping
With all the fuss that’s involved in building your Thanksgiving dinner, what to drink with the turkey and fixings should be the least complicated decision you make. Spend more time hemming and hawing between pumpkin pie recipes and less time perusing the wine store trying to find the best bottle to pour at the table and just head to Aldi instead.
Yes, they sell my top pick for Thanksgiving wine this year — and just like everything else Aldi sells, it happens to be wallet-friendly, too.
What Having a Dog Taught Me About My Kitchen — Pets in the Kitchen
First, let me explain: When I say “having” a dog, what I really mean is “babysitting” a dog. I do not have a dog of my own. Mostly because my husband and I can’t agree on a size. I want a dog that’s small enough for me to carry around like a baby and he wants one that he can ride. So until they come up with a breed that can grow and shrink on demand, we spend a lot of time taking in other people’s pups while they go on vacation. (In fact, we just said goodbye this morning to a shiba inu named Sumo.)
We’ve learned a lot from watching nearly a dozen different dogs over the years. For one, I like rubbing bellies nearly as much as dogs like getting bellies rubbed. I’ve learned that dog toys are key for beating boredom on rainy days. And I learned one important thing about my kitchen.
The One Thing I Do for a Week of Healthy Eating — Healthy Living
Fall is the time of year when things get busy — really, really busy. At first, I embrace it, especially if I’ve had a good, properly lazy summer. Then November arrives and I find myself thinking Thanksgiving is coming! How is that possible? And once Thanksgiving is here, it’s time to think about Christmas and all my little nieces and nephews who are not-so-secretly hoping for light sabers and trucks and tiaras.
Maintaining my sanity and making sure I eat relatively well comes down to one thing I do on the weekend. If I don’t do it, I’m definitely calling wine and cheese “dinner” more often than I want.
Why I Stopped Drinking Almond Milk & Went Back to Regular Milk Instead — Strong Opinions
I’ve never been a big milk drinker, but I pour it over cereal or granola, add a splash to black tea, and order the occasional cappuccino. A couple years ago I discovered almond milk, and making the switch from cow’s milk to non-dairy milk felt like a no-brainer. It seemed like everyone around me was giving up dairy for health reasons, and since I wasn’t particularly attached to milk I joined in.
But then I learned a little more — and stopped drinking alternative milks altogether. Here’s why I made the switch back to cow’s milk.
5 Lazy Dinner Recipes That Only Need 8 Ingredients — Recipes from The Kitchn
Even if you set your weeknight dinner plans with the best of intentions, sometimes the day gets away from you. Deadlines at work need to be met, errands need to be squeezed in, and all too often you’re left exhausted by dinnertime. These five recipes are for these moments. They require, at most, eight ingredients (often fewer), and come together quickly without fuss. That’s way better than a microwave meal, as far as we are concerned.
