From artichokes to salmon (and even bread), steaming is a simple and delicious way to delicately cook your food, preserving its delicate flavors. YumSugar has a bevy of helpful tips to turn to the next time you steam, like arranging your steaming basket with the longest-cooking vegetables like potatoes on the bottom, and quick-cooking ones like spinach or haricots verts up top. Smart Thinking!

I think an article featuring the benefits of Steaming is long overdue and I was thrilled to see it. HowEVER, I was horrified, when i clicked to the link, to see that its creator/site ,yumsugar, is promoting their latest featured recipe as:
Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.
Yes, you read that correctly. I have written Amanda et al requesting that 52 disassociate itself from any link to yumsugar. Horrifying, immature,and insensitive , words that I associate with yumsugar's cupcake promotion- are very far from what I think 52 is about.
