Serves: 2, if served with rice for the main course Preparation: 20 minutes Cooking: 10-15 minutes While there are a lot of restaurants which advertise themselves as “Asian”, most of them are (sometimes awesome) buffets offering Western-Asian food. It wasn’t until I met a Japanese student, two decades ago, that I had dinner at an actual Japanese restaurant in France. I don’t recall ever going to an actual Chinese restaurant, and this is something which contributed to my late interest to Chinese cuisine.

After spending a year as a Bartley fellow at the Wall Street Journal, Chloé Valdary developed The Theory of Enchantment, an innovative framework for compassionate antiracism that combines social emotional learning (SEL) and character development.

Sometimes I stumble across stories that I published earlier on in my career and I just…cringe. Everyone goes up learning curves, but as a writer in the internet age, my growth (and the many bumps and mistakes along the way) are available in Google-searchable perpetuity. And yet, for all the occasional moments of embarrassment, I am also really proud of my archive - particularly a column I used to write for Capital New York, a short-lived online publication that was acquired and then essentially shut down by Politico.

In France, the word cookies refers to “Chocolate Chip Cookies,” as if they are the only cookies that exist. Of course, French cooking has sablés, rochers cocos (coconut mounds), macarons, and other petits gâteaux and biscuits (pronounced biz-kwee), but way back when, when I was combing Paris looking for spring-loaded ice cream scoops in various sizes for scooping cookie dough, I thought it was odd that I couldn’t find any. One of the salesmen at E.

I live in the coffee capital of the non-italian world. A somewhat arrogant self-appointed moniker but deserving none the less. Café’s and roasteries abound on what feels like every corner, queues spilling out the doors of the most popular ones, a beacon to where to hunt out a quality morning brew. Everyone has their favourite, both for an ‘on the go’ cup and many, like myself, a favourite ‘dealer’ for the best beans.

There are a few things to consider when it comes to choosing a countertop edge profile - the function of the space (some profiles are easier to keep clean than others), what the material is (certain materials only have a few edge profile options), and the overall style you’re going for. Below we’re sharing the most common edge types and where/how to use them. Different Edge Types: #1 Square / Flat Edge—This is the most simple and maybe the most common edge profile.

In Anarchy, State, and Utopia, the philosopher Robert Nozick posed the following now-famous thought experiment: Suppose there were an experience machine that would give you any experience that you desired. Superduper neuropsychologists could stimulate your brain so that you would think and feel you were writing a great novel, or making a friend, or reading an interesting book. All the time you would be floating in a tank, with electrodes attached to your brain.

What I really want to say to all of those who ask is that this is an incredibly sensitive question. No matter what answer you provide you are opening yourself up to unsolicited comments and criticism. Even knowing this though, I have always known and shared my baby’s name before birth but I am usually clear that this will be the name and I do not want to hear any commentary about the name.

Hello, fellow Maxxinistas! That’s right. From now on, the newsletter will be about nothing but TJ Maxx, the greatest department store in all of history. The prices are affordable, the fashion fresh, and even the name is cool, because there’s two X’s at the end of it. (Three X’s would be a whole different subject.) I am bringing up TJ Maxx for a reason, however. Davida and I were out clothes shopping last weekend, and we hit up a bunch of department stores.
