Its grade B rating means it has some cosmetic imperfections, but these don’t impact performance.

Just when I think I’m done experimenting with scrambled eggs, I encounter a new (to me) preparation, and I am once again wowed by the versatility of the ingredient. While I usually go for a soft, custardy scrambled egg, I recently learned about telur gulun, an Indonesian egg skewer made with deep fried scrambled eggs.

Maybe AI isn’t some passing fad—certainly every tech company is racing to add as many AI features to their products as possible, Google included. Bard is the company’s answer to ChatGPT, and it even integrates with Google products like Docs, YouTube, and Gmail.

If you’re tired of static wallpapers, you can add a bit of flair to your smartphone by choosing a live wallpaper—that is, using a Live Photo, gif, or short video as your wallpaper.

There are times when I’ve needed two identical cake pans, and only had one shallow pan to work with, and there have been times when I just needed a deeper pan, for something big, like a Basque cheesecake. Instead of making one cake layer at a time, or sacrificing a deep dish apple crisp for multiple shallow ones, just…

In terms of themed food, Halloween allows for the most creativity. It’s the only time of year you’re encouraged to be off-putting and gross; as a kind of creepy woman, it’s a nice change of pace.
