Preparation Whether your refrigerator is sans an ice maker or you just like to make frozen cubes for cocktails, iced coffee, and iced tea, ice cube trays are one of the most basic, yet essential kitchen products in every home. If you’re repeatedly filling an ice cube tray with only water, it may seem like you don’t need to wash it often. However, our experts say that ice cube trays should be treated like any item in your kitchen used for eating and drinking....
Preparation An allée is a garden feature made up of evenly spaced plants in rows and is typically placed along a long driveway or sidewalk (it can also be used straight across a landscape for spatial structure); it usually leads the eye towards a focal point, like a fountain, gazebo, or home. Martha knows the merit of an allée: She actually employs them along the carriage roads of her Bedford, New York, farm, seen here....

After winning the game alongside his teammates—together, they raised over $1 million for several charities—the future king was all smiles, especially when Kate gave him that congratulatory peck, People reports....
Preparation Some of the most interesting discoveries people make seem to happen by accident. This theory came holds true for locals in Sri Lanka who recently made an epic discovery, and it happened entirely by change. According to Good News Network, a couple of residents in the area were digging a well and they then uncovered a boulder featuring two-and-a-half million carats of star sapphires. Now referred to as the “Serendipity Sapphire,” the pale blue discovery is being estimated at $140 million on the global market....

Preparation Personal loans are one of the ways that you can achieve your financial goals and improve your credit score. “Personal loans can be more manageable than other types of credit since they come with fixed interest rates, terms and payments,” explains Colleen McCreary, chief people officer of Credit Karma. “After you’ve paid the loan in full, the loan ends and your account is closed.” That said, even people with great credit scores will see a variance in the terms that they are offered, so it’s important to make sure that you understand what you are getting into before agreeing to the loan....
Preparation Dinner on the fly isn’t something that works for everyone, so it’s great to have a game plan and maybe a recipe.

Select recipes and techniques that facilitate quick dinners while highlighting the season’s bounty—asparagus, English peas, snap peas, carrots, and more. Show off this spring produce with fast cooking techniques like stir-fries and pestos that put the focus on the vegetables, or pair those vegetables with protein in one-pot dishes like skillet braises and baking in parchment packets, a technique called en papillote....

When people think of Asian liquor, their minds usually go straight to sake, with some of the serious alcohol connoisseurs thinking of Japanese whiskey, as well. But there are plenty of great Asian cocktails out there that have nothing to do with either of those ingredients. For instance, Asia has vodka- and gin-based cocktails, just like America does. Asian cocktails use a lot of ginger and spice, and traditionally speaking, they aren’t all that sweet....
