Sometimes even I have to chuckle at the NYT
One of the most valued sections for me in the Times is the food section. I have hundreds of recipes downloaded and filed. Most are excellent, some are failures---in which case I have to wonder what the creator did that failed to make it into the recipe
That said, there are times when I can't avoid laughing and today is one of them:
The recipes in Emily Weinstein’s Five Weeknight Dishes newsletter this week are aimed at making you a better cook. Glazed tofu with chile and star anise calls for searing a block of tofu then tearing it apart, to better soak up sauce. Ritzy Cheddar chicken breasts use crushed crackers for an amazing crunch. And for velvety scrambled eggs, J. Kenji López-Alt calls for poaching beaten eggs in cream — it’s not as fussy as it sounds.
All righty then
