From Serious Eats What did this red gummi bear do to deserve death by extreme fizzling in a test tube? I doubt he willfully offered his body to science. The brave, sqiushy soul proves that he and his race cannot survive molten potassium chloride reactions. (He really took one for the team here.) Watch the gummi bear death after the jump.

From Recipes Who knew that trying to find apple cider in August would be like searching for fresh watermelon in February? Earlier this week, with my heart set on making this delicious scallop dish, I went to one farm stand and three supermarkets—and sent my boyfriend to two more—before finally procuring a bottle of cider at the specialty organic store Key Food on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The only problem? It was a huge, gallon-sized ...

From Recipes Almost everyone is a chocolate lover. But recently, more and more people are making the leap to chocolate connoisseur. This new breed of aficionado is interested in more than milk vs. semisweet, Scharffen Berger vs. Callebaut. They want to know the math—specifically, the ratio of cacoa to other ingredients in their beloved bars. To that end, François Payard, author of this week's Cook the Book selection, Chocolate Epiphany, specifies certain percentages of chocolate ...

From A Hamburger Today Be careful the next time you leave a head of lettuce near a hamburger. At least, a hungry head of lettuce. This video from Meatatrians Unite captures the rare sighting of a carnivorous vegetable during feeding time. That poor burger didn't stand a chance. Watch the video after the jump.

On August 25, 1978, the Lego minifigure was born. This was a hugely important transition for Lego. For many years they sold sets allowing builders to create cars or buildings, but something was missing -- a human element. The minifig gave them that humanity, and very quickly it became an iconic symbol of the company second only to the brick itself. The first minifigs had yellow skin and fixed, pleasant expressions. It was not until ...

Green Tuesday has come a bit early here at Bikecommuters.com…I was going to wait to publish this, but I just can’t stand the suspense! Now that my child is back in school, I’ve got a little bit of daylight “free time” on my hands. Sometimes I go for a long bike ride, and sometimes I like to just cruise around the neighborhoods at an easy pace. During my commutes and other bike rides, I’ve become ...

From Serious Eats Wordsmith William Safire could have enough columns for the rest of the year if he focused just on food "sniglets," or food words that don't appear in the dictionary, but should. For example, at Tommy's barbecue, did you commit burgacide (bürg-ə-sīd)? (A hamburger's desperate act to leap to its death through grill holes.) Or, after that vending machine trip, are your fingers covered in cheedle (chee' dul)? (Residue on fingertips after consuming ...

From Serious Eats The refrigerator at Serious Eats headquarters is infamous for containing foodstuffs long forgotten or those with unknown origins. But even I was surprised to open the freezer this morning and see soda popsicles—encased in large shards of glass. Looks like someone forgot to take their chilled bottles of Fizzy Lizzy out of the freezer. So in case you didn't know, soda bottles should not be left in the freezer. Otherwise they will ...
