It’s Negroni season. How can I tell? Easy—I just open my inbox and read the many press releases alerting me to the fact. I do love the three-ingredient cocktail; I drink it year-round, but the “season” is really a marketing ploy for the Campari company, which means the grassier, gentian-focused White Negroni gets left…

My home is interesting (special?) in that we have central air conditioning on the first floor and window AC units in the upstairs bedrooms. What this means, practically speaking, is that we lose a lot of our cool first floor air up the stairs, where it is immediately swallowed up by a hallway that becomes stifling in…
When I make macaroni and cheese from the (blue) box, I rarely stray from the instructions. As far as processed foods go, this one is pretty dialed in, and I’m not one to mess with aggressively orange perfection. But the other night, after two martinis and a shot of Fernet, I remembered I had buttermilk in my fridge,…

Apple’s big WWDC event is right around the corner, and what better way to kick off the festivities—which we weren’t invited to, as always—then by contemplating all the fun features you might not be able to use on your ancient iPhone.
Hey Salty, I hang out pretty regularly at a craft beer bar that offers free, one-ounce-ish samples people can try before ordering a full pour. I’m pretty decisive, but I’ll sometimes sample one beer before I order, especially if it’s a flavor I’m not sure I’ll like. But I see some people ask for two, three, even once …

The first summer I came home from college, I had plans to work, to reconnect with my high school friends and to enjoy the freedom of having zero papers to write. I felt older, wiser and much more independent than I had when I’d left; and yet, my parents still insisted that I adhere to my high school curfew (which, to…

The last few weeks before a marathon are a special kind of hell. For months, your top priority has been training consistently. Now, all of a sudden, your runs are getting shorter. Some of them drop off your calendar altogether. It’s new territory, both mentally and physically, and it’s totally normal to kind of freak…
School is almost out, which means your kids are about to lose their built-in weekday social life for a long, hot stretch.

Reaction videos are a cultural currency these days—they can punch up your social media posts and have evolved into their own genre of comedy.
