Each Thursday, we round up a selection of scrumptious links from our friends over at YumSugar. Here's what they've got cooking this week:

If you're not prone to scrapes and slices, you might want to try scraping that garlic (and not your knuckles!) against a Microplane.

Forget lemon and lime. How about garnishing your summer drinks with strawberries?

Go Green! San Francisco becomes the first United States city to require composting.

Sometimes a classic garden salad is just what the tummy needs.

Jacques Pepin discusses his way to achieve a beauteous boiled egg.

Korean Beef Kebabs -- a tower of seasoned meat and green onions.

Does roasting a whole animal make you squeamish?

Clack egg cracker

Ever since I caught one of the Iron Chefs using a gadget like this on TV, I wanted one. The Clack Egg Cracker is a device that allows you to crack off one end of an egg-shell in a perfect circle. It gets its name from the loud "clack" it makes as it works. As you might imagine, it makes peeling boiled eggs significantly easier.

The show I first saw this on was one of the original Iron Chef episodes, not Iron Chef America, and the chef sliced a perfect circle of shell from a raw egg, not a boiled one, before using the empty shell as a serving dish. I tried to do the same thing myself, but a tool like this one would have done it in a fraction of the time. Granted, it may not be the most practical device, especially if your main purpose is to make Iron Chef-style serving dishes, but it's certainly a conversation piece. Priced at about $20, I might just be willing to invest for coolness alone.

Leftover hard boiled eggs and how to use them

Nicole's Easter Eggs

Do you have a couple of hard-boiled eggs sitting around? Instead of throwing them out, assuming that you kept them refrigerated or, at least did not cook them more than a day or two ago, peel the eggs and put them to good use. Hard boiled eggs do not keep as long as their uncooked counterparts, so don't try cooking with the ones you used in an Easter egg hunt that might have been in the sun.  A large egg has about 70 calories and is an excellent source of protein, with about 6 grams per egg. There are approximately 5 grams of fat in an egg, with 3.5 of them unsaturated, and they are all contained in the yolk. For more information on eggs, look here, but if you're just looking for a recipe or two, food blogs are a great place to look.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
