Comedy on Ice

Today is the day to watch Will Ferrell act goofy. Stephen Holden calls him both “a ferocious marshmallow” and “an armchair GeorgePlimpton whose characters, driven by an outlandish grandiosity, are deeply reassuring.” In “Blades of Glory,” he and his co-star Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite to you) “stake an early claim to being the comedy couple of the year.” All while falling on their stocking-clad bottoms.


Turkeys have been exploding in size, swelling from an average 13.2lb (6kg) in 1929 to over 30lb today. All trends persisting, they will be big as humans in just 150 years. Best get those leftovers out and start gobbling them before they gobble you http://econ.st/1FuUARx

I read "Sex and the Single Girl" when I was 21 years old, freshly transplanted to New York and working in the glamorous capacity of a dishwasher/freelance-writer. I'd expected the book to be marshmallow fluff—a weightless thing to gobble and then regret. Parts of it were exactly that. But much of it was smart, sharp, and, to my surprise, immediately useful.

Creating the perfect mozzarella

At this time of year, food is on many people's minds as they prepare for the festive season.

In Italy, it's a fairly certain bet that a good mozzarella will be on the table, preferably mozzarella di buffala made using buffalo milk. Our reporter eats a lot of buffalo mozzarella, but she's never seen a buffalo before. So she headed to Amaseno, a town 60 kilometers south of Rome renowned for its buffalo milk. And of course, she couldn't resist popping into a factory to taste some of the squishy white cheese.
Report: Stephanie Raison, Amaseno
Question of the Day
He would get marshmallow in his hair.

The marshmallow is too small and has too little weight to do any damage. It would reach terminal velocity (the speed at which it doesn't fall any faster) fairly quickly, and that low speed, combined with the squishy nature of the marshmallow would keep it from doing any damage. Also, due to the shape of the building and the winds in the area, the marshmallow would likely not even make it to the ground, but get caught on one of the lower levels of the building and make a nice snack for a pigeon.

棉花糖(Marshmallow)源自古埃及。由大約二千年前開始,古埃及人從用作治療喉嚨不適及消化系統疾病的植物藥蜀葵(英語名稱同樣是Marshmallow)的根部搾出汁液,並把汁液與蜂蜜混和成一種喉糖[1]
直到十九世紀初,藥蜀葵被引入法國。法國的廚師發現藥蜀葵的黏液與水混合後會形成濃濃的凝膠狀,於是發明了把藥蜀葵的黏液與糖漿、蛋白、香草蘭籽攪拌而成的棉花糖。[2][3]
到了現在,為了節省成本及容易大量生產,藥蜀葵的黏液已被明膠所代替,成為棉花糖的主要材料之一。現時的棉花糖由玉米糖漿、被攪拌的蛋白、被水軟化的明膠、合成香精和穩定劑所製成的糖果。

[編輯] 吃法

棉花糖除了作零食直接食用外,亦有其他特別的吃法。

[編輯] 燒烤

經火或烤爐燒烤後的棉花糖,外表膨脹又沾上焦糖、內裡溶化,有些人會夾入麵包內食用。最好用較結實、較大顆、沒有夾心的原味棉花糖來燒烤。

[編輯] 烘焙/烹飪

由於棉花糖遇熱即溶化,所以不少人烘焙甜品時(特別是曲奇餅蛋糕巧克力布朗尼)都會加入棉花糖,令味道更特別;另外有一種做法是煮溶棉花糖(或以微波爐熱熔之),再加入餡料,待棉花糖涼掉凝固後便成了棉花糖布丁

[編輯] 飲料

通常較小顆的棉花糖會被放在熱飲料上(特別是熱巧克力或加了奶類的咖啡),待片刻後與飲料一同飲用。

[編輯] 雪糕

有一種美國式的巧克力雪糕,稱為Rocky road,被加入較小顆的棉花糖和果仁。
