5 Fall Weekend Food Projects To Keep You Busy

+ ENLARGE

If you have onions and butter in your fridge, your weekend just got slightly less boring.

 

Just another boring Saturday, right? Wrong! We have four fun weekend cooking projects (plus one boring but super-useful one) to keep you occupied until Monday morning. Ready for the greatest cup of coffee known to mankind? It'll give you a boost to get to the boring but important project. 

1. Now that you've presumably gotten your fill of Halloween candy, go back to basics with our step-by-step How to Make Peanut Brittle.
2. Figure out your own method of brewing coffee with a Chemex after watching these 12 people all kind of explain different ways.
3. Get good at Instagram! Use us as an example — some of our crappier, boring photos have 40 likes, some that involve pizza, lobster or both have upwards of 400. This video will guide you along your way. 
4. Master a fancy new brunch dish nobody has ever heard of. We recommend Eggs Rothko.
5. Caramelize, like, a dozen onions, then portion them out in freezer bags and store them for instant gussying up of dinner, or as a base for gravy. You will have to be very bored for this to be fun, but your future self will thank you so many times.
