I love Chinese American food as much as anyone else. When I want to treat myself on a weeknight, I usually order takeout from my favorite local spot. It’s affordable, and, honestly, it’s delicious. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. One of my top indulgences (besides crab rangoons, of course) is pot stickers. They’re crispy, tender, juicy — what’s not to love?

I thought I had a tiny kitchen in my old apartment — I never thought it could get much smaller. Unfortunately, the kitchen in my new studio has proved me wrong. Only one person can fit in there at a time, and you don’t even have to move to reach the sink, stove, or fridge (all of which are squished within three feet of each other). Don’t get me wrong — I can get by well enough, but there are some sacrifices I’ve had to make. One of the biggest? Forgoing a full-size trash can.

The appeal of cheese that can be pan-fried or grilled cannot be overstated. I love melty and squishy cheeses as much as the next person, but you can even use halloumi as croutons. Croutons. If left to my own devices, I would happily be eating halloumi at half of my meals.

Doesn’t 2024 feel like it has lasted both 10 minutes and 10 years? I’m equally exhausted and energized to take on the back half of the calendar. As summer cools off into fall, this is the time of year that feels like the fresh start that January wishes it could be. If you know me (or read some of my other stories), you know that my first stop at the start of a new season is Costco.

We’ve pulled a package of ground beef out of the freezer with the best of intentions to cook with it (French onion meatballs! Cheesy pastelón! Hawaiian burger sliders!), and then life happens. Perhaps you, like me, have held that neglected package in your hands and have asked, “Can I just stick this back in the freezer?” Here’s everything you need to know about when it is and isn’t safe to refreeze ground beef.

Come summer, sweet-fleshed mangoes begin appearing in Indian markets. Chilled drinks become an everyday necessity. Establishments selling sugarcane juice, creamy sherbets, and buttermilk do brisk business. In Punjab, the drink of choice is the lassi, made from beaten full-fat yogurt that is salted or sweetened with sugar. Traditionally, the first step to making a lassi involves setting a bowl of full-fat milk into curd. The cap of thick cream that settles on the curd is scooped off and set aside, and the rest of the yogurt is whisked by hand with a wooden churn until it is light and frothy. Into this goes a shower of sugar, and a block of ice to keep the lassi cool. Finally, it is all poured into a kulhad or clay cup, crowned with the scooped-off cream, and served. In a mango lassi, the buttermilk is brightened with mango and served chilled.

Made famous in 2000 by former First Lady Laura Bush, these cowboy cookies are an updated twist on a traditional oatmeal cookie, trading raisins for chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut. (We've swapped out the shortening as well!) To take it a step further, you can also toast the coconut and pecans for enhanced nuttiness. Here's what you'll need for about 18 cookies:

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

After getting home from the office, the thought of standing over the stove for more than half an hour usually sounds … not ideal. Quick, no-frills dishes are what I fall back on, and I recycle the ones I’ve perfected week after week. I know — it’s not very adventurous of me, and I’m trying to fall into the habit of making meals ahead of time so that all I have to do is pop a plate into the microwave.
