Preparation Faced with a staggering array of options at the seafood counter or market, it can be challenging to figure which options out your best choices. While retailers have gotten better about labeling seafood by including place of origin and sometimes how the seafood is caught, there are so many different labels, designations, and certifications it can make you feel like you’re lost at sea. First, let’s clear up a few misconceptions about seafood: It’s not hard to cook, it’s not unhealthy to eat due to contamination, and fresh is not always better than frozen....

Preparation The original feather Christmas trees brought the holiday spirit to German homes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. “When German immigrants made their way to America they could easily transport their family’s small feather trees with them. American stores did have feather trees before the 1910s, but they were not seen as worthy to be decorated,” says Chloe Wingard, curatorial projects specialist at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. “During World War I, the idea of every household cutting down a live tree each year started to be questioned and Americans caught onto feather trees as an alternative....
Preparation If you have an activity tracker, you likely find yourself using the device daily. The smart watches can track everything from how many steps you walk in a day to your average heart rate during a workout.
