Getting High with Hi-Hat Cupcakes I believe it was a year or two ago, before I started my little blog, that I first heard of Hi-hat Cupcakes. I then found a recipe for them on Martha Stewart's site. I then searched a bit more and found quite a few people had terrible issues with the recipe on that site (which doesn't surprise me, as the recipes there tend to be hit and miss) and had worked out their own way of making them from trial and error.

The best new recipes from Smitten Kitchen — punchfork.com Slow Cooked Short Ribs with Carrots and Apples Here’s how things go when the Southern husband and I go out to dinner someplace where there are short ribs on the menu: I look at the menu and spot the short ribs. Then I see something else that seems almost as good as the short ribs. Then I agonize about how much I want the short ribs, but I’ve had short ribs so many times and haven’t had whatever that other thing is on the menu nearly as much. Then I ask the Southern husbandwhat he’s having, and he says he is deciding between the short ribs and some other thing that I have no interest in. Then I say, “Gee honey, if you have the short ribs then I can order this other thing, and I can have a bite of your short ribs because I’m having a hard time choosing!” And being the knight in shining armor that he is, he orders the short ribs and I get my other thing. So to make it up to him, I decided one day that I was going to make my OWN short ribs. Scrumptious, right??? Slow Cooked Short Ribs with Carrots and Apples Ingredients 1 cup applesauce

How to Make Bagels: A User's Manual at Epicurious Bagels, like most bread recipes, require very few ingredients or specialized equipment. Here's an overview of what you'll need to make perfect bagels at home. Ingredients Flour Unbleached bread flour is readily available (General Mills, Pillsbury, King Arthur Flour, Bob's Red Mill, and Hodgson Mill are good brands) and great for home bagel making. You can substitute whole-grain flour, such as whole wheat, rye, spelt, or multigrain, for an equal amount of bread flour, if you increase the water by about 1 tablespoon for every ounce (or 1/4 cup) of whole-grain flour used. To make rye or pumpernickel bagels use one quarter rye flour and three quarters bread flour, along with 2 tablespoons molasses; caraway seeds are optional. Yeast The recipe included here calls for instant yeast, not active dry yeast, but it still needs to be fully dissolved in lukewarm water before being used. Tools
