I made the popular Weeknight Bolognese recipe from the NY Times Most Popular Recipes of 2025 List [Gift Link]
Came out surprisingly good. Would add the third tablespoon of red curry paste next time.

We made a zine instead of a holiday card this year.
Printed it ourselves, folded and stapled it by hand, and sent it to friends and family.
It was far more fun and satisfying than we expected.

Friends & family occasionally ask me about new phones.
They are often surprised when I tell them they don't need to buy their phone from their phone carrier.
They can't seem to conceive that it's like buying your car from the tire shop.
