Would You Drink a Bacon Shake?

Jack in the Box announced its new bacon milk shake, which it's added to the menu for a very limited time.

Jack in the Box announced its new bacon milk shake, which it's added to the menu for a very limited time. Although the bacon trend doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon, we're on the fence about this one. Made with vanilla ice cream and bacon-flavored syrup, I hate to admit that it sounds like it might be delicious. What do you think? Would you try a bacon shake?

Is There Any Dish That Intimidates You in the Kitchen?

We all have our culinary fears.

by Camilla Salem

We all have our culinary fears. Mine revolve around temperamental dessert recipes that require precision and the right environment to work. Case in point: I am completely intimidated by chocolate soufflés (yet I've promised myself to attack this fear head on in the coming weeks). Once, I also had a horrific experience with a batch of marshmallows, which I don't think I'll ever forget. So I'm wondering, what are the recipes or techniques that intimidate you in the kitchen? Share your answers (and advice!) in the comments.

15 Cocktails to Enjoy While the Sun Is Up

While we stand by our love and appreciation for happy hour and a smart evening cocktail (or two), there is something to be said about daytime drinking.

by Camilla Salem

While we stand by our love and appreciation for happy hour and a smart evening cocktail (or two), there is something to be said about daytime drinking. It's quite nice to be able to enjoy a fancy, adult beverage while the sun is shining. However, there are certain cocktails that are more appropriate to enjoy during waking hours. From bubbly libations that won't knock you off your feet to stronger tipples that should probably be sipped slowly, here are 15 of our favorite daytime cocktails.

Rose Marshmallows For Your Valentine

Rather than share chocolates and champagne with your significant other or girlfriends on Valentine's Day, pair your bubbly with rose marshmallows instead.

by Anna Monette Roberts

Rather than share chocolates and champagne with your significant other or girlfriends on Valentine's Day, pair your bubbly with rose marshmallows instead. Making these fluffy, pillowy marshmallows can be a heart-pounding experiment that requires a little speed, yet the light, melt-in-your-mouth pockets are foolproof if you are prepared and have read the recipe several times.

If you are in a festive mood, use themed cookie cutters for adorable heart-shaped marshmallows. The scraps can easily be cut up into bite-sized pieces that are equally as enjoyable. For an even more decadent treat, dip the marshmallows in white chocolate fondue. Are you ready to add luscious, homemade marshmallows to your culinary repertoire?

Buzz Time Machine: John Krasinski Plays a Pot-Smoking Suspect on CSI

Before John Krasinski stole our hearts playing our dream guy on The Office or moonlighted as a journalist out to save the whales in this weekend's Big Miracle, he had a pretty different role on a 2005 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode.

Before John Krasinski stole our hearts playing our dream guy on The Office or moonlighted as a journalist out to save the whales in this weekend's Big Miracle, he had a pretty different role on a 2005 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode. Krasinski plays a crime suspect who seems to be way more concerned about getting linked to drugs than anything else. The reason? He has big plans to eventually attend dental school. Watch our dear, sweet Jim get interrogated:
