How to Fall Asleep After Waking Up
For many people, sleeping isn’t easy. Roughly 70 million Americans suffer from some kind of sleep disorder, according to the Cleveland Clinic, and around 100 million people in the U.S. don’t typically get enough sleep. The problem has become even more pronounced during the pandemic.

If Everyone Isn't Masking Up at Your Gym, Stay Home
Many gyms allow people to take off their masks during workouts, as if the coronavirus will politely refrain from infecting others during exercise. It won’t, of course. Even if it’s legal to exercise maskless where you are, that doesn’t make it a good idea.Read more...
Pork Tenderloin Is the Perfect Pork for Beginners
When it comes to main course proteins that “everyone” should know how to cook, the roasted chicken might be the most popular, at least in the United States. It is not, however, the easiest meat to master, nor is it even my favorite (though I do love this labneh-marinated bird). That, my friends, would be the pork…Read more...

Make Sure Your Browser's Read-It-Later Tool Isn't Oversharing
When you come across an interesting article online that you don’t have time to read right away, you may be in the habit of opening it in a new tab to read later—only for it to become lost in the chaotic mess of your browser bar. Instead, you should be using your browser’s dedicated “read it later” feature. It’s a…Read more...
Cook Your Dried Beans With Citrus Peel
Cooking dried beans isn’t quite as convenient as cracking open a can, but it does give you the chance to flavor them exactly how you like ‘em. One of my favorite additions is a strip of citrus zest. It may look puny swimming in a huge pot of beans, but don’t be fooled—even the tiniest piece flavors beans and their…Read more...
There Are Three COVID Vaccines Now and They're All Good

How to Stay Engaged During a Videoconference
The only thing more predictable than the monotony of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has been the consistency of video conferencing. The necessity of staring into screens has made “Zoom fatigue” a very real condition, affecting regular office workers as much as the Hollywood icon Al Pacino, apparently.
10 Anthology Shows That Explore the Dark Side of Technology
When we think about the future, we imagine flying cars or holographic computer screens from movies like Minority Report. But we don’t always consider the ramifications of such advances.

Try the 'Walking Water' Experiment With Your Kids
Few kids can resist a good science experiment, and I have always found the best ones to be those that are easy to set up, use materials you already have around the home, and are as fun or interesting for you as they are for them. That’s why I couldn’t help but try this “Walking Water” experiment from PBS Kids—and it…Read more...
Don't Just Skip to the Recipe
Yesterday evening, I noticed several of my fellow food writers tweeting about Recipeasly, a website that briefly promised to “fix” online recipes by stripping them of cultural context, narrative, or any information that isn’t an ingredients list and/or instructions. In the promotional tweet sent into the world by Tom…Read more...
Your Cheese Might Have Been Recalled

Rescue Your Cast Iron From Rust With Vinegar

How to Filter Spotify Playlists by Genre or Mood
Odds are good that your “Liked Songs” playlist on Spotify is a mishmash of genres and artists that don’t exactly flow together. Personally, I don’t necessarily want to listen to songs from Gorguts, Megan Thee Stallion, and the Spirited Away soundtrack back-to-back-to-back. No DJ in their right mind would program that…Read more...

How to Avoid Transition-Based Tantrums
Toddlers throw tantrums for all kinds of reasons, both logical and illogical.

8 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Can Clean With Vinegar
It may be somewhat counter-intuitive that a liquid that arguably smells pretty foul on its own actually stands with the best household cleaners and odor-eliminators.
