bok choy :: Article Creator 'She Says It Like She's Trying Not To Laugh.' Everett (@everett.Toy) is cracking TikTok up after showcasing some of the curious pronunciation and diction mannerisms of a robotic self-checkout machine's voice at Stop & Shop, a retailer that's no stranger to implementing robotic help in its stores. One of his more recent posts shows him buying yams. Viewers are tickled pink with the "aggressive" manner in which the grocery store's self-service system calls out the produce. "Okay the self checkout voice saying 'YAM' is kinda aggressive," Everett writes in a text overlay of the TikTok, which shows him processing the sale of a yam on the self-checkout machine. He leaves it on the automatic register's scale until a robotic voice shouts, "Move your…YAMS" The TikToker, chuckling, grabs the vegetable and places it into a bag ...

thanksgiving recipes :: Article Creator 28 Of The Best Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes To Serve This Year . Jason Snopkoski/Drinks For Days A festive holiday like Thanksgiving calls for the kind of cocktail that induces nothing short of delight—and not just because it makes dealing with ornery family members much easier. After all, a traditional Turkey Day menu is filled with once-a-year dishes so why not pair them with a equally exceptional (and seasonal) drinks that work perfectly with the feast? Take for example the spiced pecan old fashioned that Boss Molly cofounder Victoria Horn is making this year. The drink, which uses orange and Angostura bitters alongside an easy-to-make spiced pecan syrup, makes for an amazing pre-dinner drink and "tastes like Thanksgiving in a glass."

honey chicken :: Article Creator Chicken Breasts Have Their Place, Too. Five Recipes That Use Them Well I've gotten a bunch of emails from readers lately asking why New York Times Cooking chicken recipes don't often call for boneless, skinless breasts. "Why is it always chicken thighs? I don't know anyone, except my sister, who prefers dark meat," someone wrote, in a truly excellent email with a subject line that simply said "Again?" We do tend to prefer chicken thighs here at NYT Cooking HQ, and we've been pushing our agenda in recipe after recipe. Boneless thighs are fattier, which makes them far juicier, more tender and more flavorful than breasts, and more difficult to overcook. But chicken breasts have their selling points, and their fans. Use them right and they can feel generous and satisfying, even succulent. Their mildness can be an asset: Think of white meat as a plush mattress you can blanket with...
