I like to browse Epicurious' "most popular recipes" page every couple of weeks for ideas. Today I found a dilly: Salted Water for Boiling. Seriously, this is a recipe for how much salt to put in water before you boil it. Which somehow made the list of most popular recipes on the entire site.
The best part is the reader reviews. I haven't read all 761 (!) but on the first page is one advising that the recipe is especially good if you substitute scotch for the water and soda for the salt, and don't bother boiling. Now that's good advice!
this is maybe the best blog entry ever.
