I love putting powders on popcorn, whether the powder is of the cheese persuasion, or simply fine, pulverized salt. So when I saw this Cook’s Illustrated article about caper (and miso and scallion) powder, I did not think of rice or vegetables or chicken or fish—I thought only of popcorn. But caper popcorn was not…

Parechovirus isn’t a new virus, but it is the subject of a recent CDC health alert due to a possible uptick of cases in infants. The virus can cause serious illness in very young babies. So how worried do parents need to be?

Potato dishes are a year-round staple. In the summer, various potato salads and low-country boils steal the show. During the colder months, we snuggle up to warm mounds of mashed potatoes and cheesy gratins. The practice of prepping spuds and storing them in the fridge the night before might be convenient, but it can…

Usually the whole point of making a new installment in a long-running franchise is to cash in on the name recognition, so consider me confused as to why Hulu is hiding the fact that they are releasing a new spinoff of the 1987 sci-fi horror classic Predator by calling it, simply, Prey.

Samsung wants you to buy its new stuff, as all companies do. What’s interesting about Samsung’s latest tactic, however, is the company’s offer to hand potential customers up to $200 in savings in order to buy its new stuff—and there’s no commitment required to qualify. If you’re even thinking about picking up a new…

Is Microsoft Teams slowing your Mac down to a crawl? You’re not alone. The app is so bloated that even people with M1 Macs have seen their machines become almost unusable. Quitting Teams fixes the problem, but if you need to use the app for work, we’ve got a couple of workarounds for you.

Job search anxiety is painful enough. Then there’s the gut-wrenching process of constantly checking your inbox, finally seeing an email from a prospective employer, trying and failing to keep your hopes in check, only to open it and read, “We regret to inform you...” or the dreaded, “You were a great candidate. …

Alternative flours aren’t going anywhere, nor should they. As tradition would have it, alternative ingredients are stupid…until they’re the best thing ever. Oat products fall in line with that trend: It’s finishing its hater-stage, and now there are loads of recipes that use oat flour instead of wheat flour. You can…

Unless you’re a professional photographer, you really don’t need a powerful third-party photo editor on the iPhone. Over the past couple of years, Apple has built quite a robust image editor right inside the Photos app that allows you to tweak everything from contrast to white balance. And with iOS 16, Apple is adding…

It’s the time of year in many places in North America where squash and tomato plants are beginning to flower and fruit. It’s exciting for gardeners to see the results of their labors, but sometimes the flowers begin to shrivel and the end of the squash or tomato is brown, looking like they’re only partially formed. It…

Dang, Disney+. I know I made fun of you last month for not premiering anything good, but a new Marvel show, a new Star Wars show, a major Pixar premiere, and the third season of Bluey, all in one month? I must have hit a nerve.

Apple’s iOS 16 (which is currently available as a public beta) comes with a lot of small new features for the Notes app, but the biggest update is the addition of Quick Notes. Of course, it doesn’t work exactly like it does on the iPad, but it’s still just as useful. Here are all the new and awesome Notes features you…

If you’re a parent, nanny, teacher, caregiver—anyone who is regularly responsible for children—it’s important to talk to the children under your charge about “safe adults.” Those grown-ups they can trust if they ever feel unsafe—and those they can and should not. While it’s easy to avoid the conversation so as not to…

Like a mother with her children, I have a hard time picking favorites when it comes to egg preparation methods. I love fried eggs. I love boiled eggs. I love poached eggs. I love scrambled eggs. As my esteemed colleague Stephen Johnson has pointed out, cooking eggs can literally teach you how to cook. They truly give…

Joy-Cons are great for what they are, but they have some big faults. Aside from their infamous drifting issues, the controllers are less than ideal to hold, especially if you have large hands, and have tiny buttons that make precise gameplay difficult. The Switch Pro Controller fixes many of those issues. At $70, it’s…

By now, you’ve probably heard that the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline recently got a new, three-digit phone number: 988. For understandable reasons, this easier-to-remember code has gotten a major media push as advocates seek to make sure anyone who needs the lifeline will have the three digits top of mind in…
