As you’ve probably guessed from the name, Sober October is an effort aimed at getting folks to take a month off from drinking alcohol. It began in 2014 as a fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK, and has grown into a worldwide trend, boosted, perhaps by the increase in alcohol consumption that accompanied…

Ribs are a “project” dish—or they have that reputation. Perhaps it’s their intimidating appearance: a big rack of bones. Perhaps it’s because they’re part of that culinary tradition know as “barbecue,” which can be overwhelming if you are used to doing all of your cooking indoors or don’t have a grill. But you can…

Fake abortion clinics are, often, easier to find than real abortion clinics. They advertise online with abortion-related search terms, and give themselves names and logos that look confusingly like those of actual healthcare clinics. But they don’t do abortions, they won’t help you get one—and they may not have any…

Getting a new boss can be tough. The person who trained you is likely gone, and someone with limited knowledge about your company, team, and job is about to be in charge of your daily work life. But before you update your resume and start searching for a new gig yourself, consider these ways of approaching the new…

We kick off “spooky season” (eye roll) with a something that will surprise no one: October means a new slate of horror and Halloween-themed entertainment across all the major streaming platforms. But if genuinely-scary streaming is not for you, this month seems to be a particularly strong one for family programming…

Puff pastry can transform even the simplest ingredients into a dazzling meal or dessert. Sadly, there always seems to be useless scraps leftover. This precious, all-butter material is not cheap to buy, and certainly not easy to make. Instead of tossing out the odd ends of laminated pastry gold, use the excess for…

A house isn’t just four walls and a roof—it’s a complex system of infrastructure, most of which is hidden away (behind those walls, the floors, and ceilings) for aesthetic and safety reasons. Most of us don’t dig into our home’s wiring beyond (maybe) labeling the breaker or making sure all the outlets work, but we …

As far as side hustles go, dog walking sounds like a sweet deal: Get some time with cute pups, get your steps in, and get paid. But like with most aspects of the gig economy, how much money you actually make depends on a lot of factors. How you advertise your services and your flexibility with your business will…

Bad news for fans of soft cheeses: Brie and camembert products from more than 20 brands sold across the United States and Mexico are part of a massive recall over concerns that the cheeses are potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to an announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration…

It’s frustrating when our PCs do things we don’t expect them to (looking at you, sudden software updates). The only thing more annoying than a rogue computer, however, is when the problem is our own damn fault. One such self-imposed issue occurs when you accidentally reboot your computer. This sometimes happens when I…

There’s never been a better time to teach yourself to play the guitar than now. The number of free (or practically free) guitar resources online is staggering, from gamified learning systems to YouTube gurus to apps that help you keep in time and on tune. But if you’re going to jump in without an instructor, you’re…

Everyone knows that moisture is the enemy of the Maillard reaction, which makes it tricky to brown ingredients that release water as they cook. But strangely enough, the secret to better (and faster) sautéed mushrooms is cooking them in water: Boiling your shrooms before pan-frying actually helps them brown.

A child’s short attention span can be something to behold. One moment, they are playing with their train, the next moment they’re spinning in circles, and now they are asking to watch a TV show, when all you want them to do is put their shoes away like you asked. However, as a recent study suggests, this wandering…
