What are you up to this weekend? Anton and I are visiting my brother, aunts, and cousins, so Cup of Jo will be closed next week, returning on Friday, April 10th. (Our other editors will be either traveling as well or working ahead on posts.) Have a good weekend — Chag Sameach and Happy Easter to those who celebrate — and here are a few links from around the web… Eight things I wish I’d known before getting divorced. (Big Salad) Bess Kalb’s passive-aggressive emails with her toddler about Passover. “The food was not at ALL what is guaranteed in my rider:…

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Spring makes you want to become someone slightly different. Someone who wakes up early, wears linen, goes to the farmer’s market, and casually arranges tulips like it’s second nature. And honestly, I love that version of things. My Pinterest is proof that I’ve been waiting for this season all year—pastels filling my saved boards, spaces that somehow always have the perfect light, and every kind of flower that blooms between March and May. I’m the person who will happily spend a weekend…

Wondering where the best places to shop for secondhand clothes online are? Here are ten UK sites that make online shopping for preloved clothes easy! A common theme in any discussion about ethical shopping and sustainable fashion is that it’s far too expensive for the average person to shop ethically. I won’t lie, ethical clothing does tend to be more expensive than its fast-fashion, mass-produced counterparts.

The Kentucky hot brown—an open-face sandwich of toasted bread, roast turkey, crisp bacon, and tomato, blanketed in a velvety cheese sauce—was first served in the 1920s at Louisville’s Brown Hotel. Created by chef Fred Schmidt, it was intended to be a late-night bite for dancing guests: something rich, savory, and just indulgent enough to keep the party going. Nearly a century later, the sandwich remains a signature of Kentucky cooking and a staple on Derby Day menus.Classic Kentucky hot brown recipes lean on a Parmesan-based mornay sauce, while more recent versions (including this one) add cheddar for a richer, meltier…

As a parent to two young children, I am a target client for universities everywhere. So far, I have saved over $800,000 in two 529 plans to pay for universities in 9 to 12 years. I know we need to pay full freight because we are nobodies, but make above the low income limit to receive free or heavily subsidized tuition. As a potential customer spending this much money, I logically do extensive research. If the benefits don’t outweigh the costs, I won’t buy the product. We do this analysis with cars, electronics, homes, vacations, and stocks. College should be…

At my first office job out of college, we had a bar cart in the team’s common room. On Fridays, around 4 p.m., my boss would pop open a bottle of wine or bring out the whiskey. My coworkers and I’d drink while wrapping up our last tasks and responding to emails, and then some of us would go out for a “team happy hour” at a nearby restaurant. We’d order fun cocktails and share plates of cheap appetizers, our conversation growing louder and more animated as the drinks kept flowing. By the time I Ubered home to my husband…

A post by Stephanie Cohen in the Rick Steves’ Europe Facebook Group has struck a chord with travelers, serving as a crucial warning for anyone arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and beyond. Her firsthand experience shows how aggressive and deceptive some unlicensed taxi operators can be, and it’s a reminder to always follow official procedures when taking a taxi. Cohen wrote: “WARNING: Taxi at CDG in Paris: Follow the circles on the floor to TAXI. You will try to go out the door following the right path towards the taxi and somebody will try to head you…

USB power is not terribly convenient, so let’s make our node a little easier to carry around. For this handheld node, we’re going to add a 3D-printed case and battery, and optionally a BME/BMP280 temperature sensor. 2a. From printables.com/model/286664, download and print the four STL files for the case: the front, back, frame, and reset button. You can also purchase these from vendors listed on the Printables page. 2b. (optional) If you’d like to add the BME/BMP280, now’s the time. Solder it to the back of the WisBlock, connecting VCC to VIN, GND to GND, SCL to SCL, and SDA…
