Extra tile from a kitchen reno might inspire a bathroom retiling project, for example, or a limewash wall in a living room might look so cool that you want to try it in your entryway, too. In Katheryn Haswell’s (@haswellhouse) home, a main-level reno created a great reason to renovate the downstairs bathroom — a space that was “beige and dated” and last updated in the…

Heyday’s preseasoned canned beans are a no-brainer for a can-to-plate dinner with brown rice. They’re built from intensely flavorful ingredients like lemongrass, kimchi, and gochujang—think coconut curry chickpeas and enchilada-style black beans. (If you just have a regular can of beans on hand, jazz it up yourself with these 6 quick meals our editors make with a can of beans.) Epic Foods’ Chicken Bone Broth adds next-level richness to ramen or noodles thanks to a gelatin-rich base that’s almost creamy. The flavor is good enough to drink on its own. Fishwife’s tinned smoked fish is a game-changer for salads, sandwiches,…

You might consider pausing your Netflix account for a while—no spoilers, we promise. Meanwhile, in a niche corner of the internet where creators still occasionally surprise audiences with real animatronics rather than relying on CGI, Jesse Velez, an animatronics designer, reveals the process behind building one of the most impressive sci-fi props for a notoriously popular TV show from recent history. He and his team built a fully wireless, portable animatronic robot that mirrored human movements in real time, enabling it to travel globally—across Los Angeles, New York, Seoul, Istanbul, and London—to interact with the “Wednesday” cast on live red…

Whether it’s a spouse who needs total silence after work, a friend who gets overwhelmed by loud restaurants, or a child who is deeply moved by a sad story, they might be what researchers refer to as a highly sensitive person. Identifying this trait is the first step in moving from frustration to understanding, as it allows you to see that their reactions aren’t “dramatic,” but more of those with a finely tuned…

Roughly 43% of my net worth is in real estate, my favorite asset class to build long term wealth for the average person. Real estate was my primary reason for being able to generate enough passive investment income to leave work in 2012. It has also been responsible for two of my largest capital gains to date. When it comes to paying for college for my children or providing affordable housing options for them in the future, real estate remains a core part of the plan. Finally, I believe real estate is one of the best ways to actually enjoy…

The construction of a new house is the first defining event in life, but it comes with weighty decisions in terms of safety, durability, and the long-term cost of having a house. Soil testing is one of the most important steps in the building process that are often ignored. Another crucial necessity, however, is to check and find out the state of the ground below your proposed house prior to any construction taking place. The type of soil, strength, and moisture behaviour are basically what governs how designs ought to be made and how construction should proceed. For anyone thinking…

That would make Phan’s San Francisco restaurant, the Slanted Door, one of the greatest backup plans in the history of the business. The chef and restaurateur fled Vietnam in 1975 and, after arriving in the U.S., studied architecture and worked in the kitchens of Bay Area eateries. He then opened and presided over one of the most widely adored restaurants in the city, presenting beautiful renditions of Vietnamese classics—dishes…

Skiing abroad has always been appealing, but it hasn’t always felt easy. Lift tickets can be expensive, resort systems unfamiliar, and the logistics are enough to give even seasoned travelers pause. In recent years, though, multi-resort pass networks have simplified the equation, making overseas ski trips far easier to fold into a single winter rather than treating them as standalone splurges.Epic and Ikon—season passes operated by Vail Resorts and Alterra Mountain Company, respectively—grant skiers and riders access to dozens of resorts over the course of a season. What began as a way to streamline skiing in North America has expanded…

What are you up to this weekend? I might see Marty Supreme tonight (have you seen it? I truly love ping pong), and the boys and I are going to make brownies. Thank you also for the amazing comments on this book post. Hope you have a good one — stay safe — and here are a few links from around the web… My niece got me into Block Blast and now I can’t stop. Steal, the new heist thriller, looks really compelling. Banana Republic is having a huge winter sale, and I’m eyeing this cozy sweater. Greek salmon patties? Yummmmm. Novels…
