Your pasta dish needs hollandaise

1 day ago | salon.com | Michael La Corte

At its best, hollandaise is pure alchemy — with nothing more than butter, lemon, egg yolk, salt. It’s silky, indulgent, and just acidic enough to feel like magic on the tongue. But let’s be honest: you probably think you already know hollandaise. The brunch workhorse. The Eggs Benedict standby. The sauce you maybe attempted once and never tried again. And yet — hollandaise has range. Yes, it’s temperamental. Yes, it will turn on you if you rush it.

For Ana de Armas, Cuban food is comfort food. The Cuban-Spanish actor, who stars in the upcoming “John Wick” spin-off action thriller “Ballerina,” shared what her final meal would be while feasting on a platter of spicy chicken wings. “Cuban food is just comfort food for me and it’s very basic, you know, it’s rice and beans,” de Armas told “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans on Thursday’s episode. “Black beans are my favorite. Definitely ropa vieja and tostones.
How progressive critics paved the way for Trump’s attack on judicial supremacy

One of the key axioms of politics in our, and any other, era is that nothing lasts forever. Today’s seemingly new political arguments, almost certainly, will find their way into an opponent’s arsenal. Evidence of that axiom is abundant. Where once Republicans were rapidly anti-Russia and anti-Putin, today they favor accommodation. Where once Democrats were suspicious of free trade, today they embrace it as part of their criticism of the president’s protectionism.
Be proud - science says it's healthy

When Emy Rodriguez Flores was growing up, he didn’t feel like he had space to come out as a queer person. It wasn’t until he moved to New York City in 2009 to go to college that he felt free to be authentically himself. His first Pride celebrations there were a sort of escape, when he could be gay without feeling shame — which unfortunately wasn’t the case during the other months of the year.
It's time to make friends with your viruses

5 days ago | salon.com | Carlyn Zwarenstein

For years, we've known that not all bacteria are enemies — some are actually good for us, and belong inside us. That understanding sparked a boom in probiotics science and a multibillion dollar probiotics industry. But viruses? They still get a bad rap, despite quietly occupying our insides —and sometimes even helping us. Not that scientists even agree on whether viruses are alive or not. There's so much we don't know, including just what they are doing in our bodies.
FOMO economy: Social media is driving Gen Z into debt

The phrase “keeping up with the Joneses” first appeared in 1850 in The New Yorker, describing how the neighbors of Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones, a wealthy New York socialite, were so intimidated by her summer home in the Hudson Valley that many were prompted to renovate their own properties to, as the magazine put it, keep up with the Joneses. Since then, the idiom has found a home in the competitive arena of middle-class America.
Does extraterrestrial life smell like the sea?

Dimethyl sulfide, also known as DMS, sounds like it could be a chemical compound you'd try to avoid on an ingredient label, or the poisonous ingredient in a murder mystery. But some scientists view this simple compound as a biosignature — a key indicator of life. So there was great excitement when DMS was discovered on a "sub-Neptune planet" far from our solar system – 124 light years away, or about 17 trillion miles, in the constellation Leo.
This market is making investing in bonds more attractive than ever

6 days ago | salon.com | Jamela Adam

Bonds are essentially loans where investors lend money to a corporation, government or organization. In exchange, the borrower typically agrees to pay the investor a fixed interest rate over a set period of time. When stock markets tank, investors tend to move their money into bonds since these investments are less risky and can help soften the blow to their portfolios. This is why historically, when equities lose value, bonds would hold their value or even rise in value.
I ate this chicken dish cold and it changed my summers forever

1 week ago | salon.com | Michael La Corte

In a sun-drenched dining room in Brooklyn, I once ate at a stellar wine bar called Coast and Valley (unfortunately now shuttered). This experience was one that singularly shaped a newfound adoration for all things chilled. The dish that caused this awakening consisted of poached chicken with cucumber, charred avocado and a ginger-buttermilk sauce, with tiny drops of verdant olive oil dotting the plate.
