Preparation Without a doubt, 2020 was a landmark year for access to and visibility of Black- and Brown-founded and owned beauty brands. A result of the uprisings that followed after the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, customers committed to anti-racism sought to make their beauty shelves more inclusive—and were happy to discover an abundance of BIPOC-founded companies that have existed for years; they could meet any of their beauty-centric needs and wants....

Preparation Road trips are one of the best ways to experience the land and history of the United States. And a cross-country road trip that takes you and your family to all 63 of the U.S. national parks will create lifelong memories. Before going on this adventure, you will need to make sure that you can either take seven months to a year on leave from work or the option to take your work on the road....

If you’re in the middle of holiday baking, you might consider adding these Lemon Gumdrop Cookies to your list. They’re a soft and cakey cookie with a tangy and refreshing lemon flavor. A slice of a lemon gumdrop is placed right in the middle of the cookie. Where do you find Lemon Gumdrops? Look for gumdrops in the candy aisle of your market. I don’t believe you can find a bag of “only lemon” gumdrops, so you’ll just have to buy a big bag (or several smaller bags) and pick out the yellow ones....

Preparation I started raising my own chickens in 1968, in a small coop I created out of a plywood playhouse that Alexis had outgrown. We quickly became hooked on the taste and quality of the eggs the hens laid, and I vowed to always raise my own. Today, I have several hundred chickens, in almost every kind available to hobbyists for egg production. They produce eggs in multiple hues and many different sizes at my farm in Bedford, and I feed them organic grains and corn, supplemented with greens from my gardens and vegetable and fruit scraps from two local vegetable markets we collect from daily....

Pistachio Pear Tart My simple mind classifies pies as “cosy” while tarts as “a bit show off”. Tarts are just that much more elegant in my mind, with finer pastry and being neatly sliceable, they present more beautifully. Think of the glossy sweet creations gracing the shelves of your favourite high street patisserie! Well, this pear tart might be a bit more on the rustic side compared to your average high street shop (that said, I’ve got a posher, but very easy one coming up soon for you!...

I worked as the after-school daycare coordinator at a Jewish elementary school when I was in college. The best part about that job was the freshly delivered challah bread that I got to bring home every Friday! I fell in love with the crispy exterior and the tender egg bread inside. To braid the challah, lay out three ropes of dough, take the dough on the far left and go over the middle dough and under the dough on the right....

Preparation If you find yourself saying that there aren’t enough hours in the day, there’s a scientific reason behind that. Scientists believe that the Earth is spinning faster than it has in 50 years, which is causing each day to be slightly shorter than 24 hours. For decades, the Earth actually took slightly longer than 24 hours to complete a rotation, but since last year, it has been taking slightly less than 24 hours, according to the Daily Mail....

Preparation Nearly 11 years ago people all over the world witnessed Kate Middleton and Prince William become husband and wife at Westminster Abbey during their televised royal wedding, which took place on April 29, 2011. If you tuned in to watch the highly-anticipated event, you likely also saw the newly-minted Duke and Duchess of Cambridge share a kiss on the balcony at Buckingham Palace, but what William actually said to Kate during their post-nuptial embrace has remained a mystery to many—until now....

The book is divided into four sections inspired by each of the seasons....

No matter how much you try to hide it, you have to admit that summer brings with it an abundance of fresh fruits that remain plump and juicy with every bite. Lychee is one of those fruits that come hand-in-hand with summer. Although Lychee is not as popular or well-known in the United States, this summer fruit tends to take center stage in many Southeast Asian countries. Due to its seasonality, this fruit has become an exoticized phenomenon not just in Southeast Asia, but in other parts of the world as well....

Preparation There are so many different types of wedding vendors that it can be hard to remember who’s responsible for what. To add further confusion to the process of hiring your big-day team, there are some pros with job descriptions that seem as if they’d overlap. One such example? Wedding designers, stylists, and florists. If you’re wondering what a designer does that’s different from a stylist or florist—and whether or not you need to hire all three—we’re here to help....

Beneath their chewy exterior lies a flavorful burst of filling either eaten alone or with an array of toppings and side dishes.

One of the most popular and downright underrated dumplings are perogies....
