In a world filled with mass production, there is something deeply satisfying about owning an object that is truly unique. When you walk into a standard retail store in a shopping centre, you are often looking at trays of identical rings, necklaces, and earrings. These pieces are made in factories, often overseas, and thousands of people might own the exact same design. This is where the magic of a professional jewellery designer changes everything. Choosing to work with a designer means stepping away from the ordinary. It is about creating a piece that tells a specific story—your story. In Australia, the appreciation…

Lunar New Year is a busy time for Leland Eating and Drinking House in Prospect Heights, when the restaurant deals with about 1,500 covers a night. Chef and partner Delfin Jaranilla and head butcher Gary Little gave us a special look at this year’s holiday menu, including pork and shrimp shu mai, char sui pork, and dan dan noodles, and how they try to integrate sustainable practices into these dishes.Jaranilla and Little start by breaking down half a Tamworth pig; each cut will be integrated into a different dish and even turned into stock for a Filipino soup that they…

If you want to sell a home for a potential maximum overbid, you need something rare. A tasteful remodel with permits helps. A highly functional layout helps. Being in a prime location helps even more. Beyond those three fundamentals, I strongly recommend trying to buy a home with a view and or one that sits on a large, usable lot. These attributes make it easier to stand out when buyers are comparing dozens of similar listings. If you can secure at least two out of these five qualities, I am confident you will be extremely pleased when it comes time…

Manufacturer: eufyMake Price: $2,499 Link: eufymake.com/products/eufymake-e1 Every so often, something comes along that revolutionizes an entire tech sector, or opens it up to a new group. The Commodore 64 and IBM PC clones brought home computing to the masses. RepRap and MakerBot introduced personal 3D printing to a hungry maker audience. I’d argue that Nestworks (see sidebar TK) are doing similar for CNC. And with a record-setting Kickstarter campaign at $46,762,258, Anker’s eufyMake brand is transforming the complicated, messy, smelly world of UV printing into something that anyone can do at home. Take a look around you: if you observe…

This weekend, we went to visit my parents in Michigan… …and had the best time smelling bonfires, climbing haystacks, and crunching through the snow. We also saw my beloved college roommate, Alison, pictured above, and it felt exactly the same, as always. Also, isn’t it funny how you revert to your childhood self around your family? I’m 100000% the firstborn daughter and act accordingly. I figure out the logistics, make the reservations, get the driving directions, you name it. The funny part is, I have a twin, but since I’m two minutes older, our family always treated me like the…

These healthier Southwestern queso blanco deviled eggs are creamy, high-protein, and lightened up with Greek yogurt while still packed with bold cheesy flavor, smoky spices, and fresh toppings. If deviled eggs and queso blanco had a lighter, protein-packed makeover, this would be it. These healthier Southwestern queso blanco deviled eggs keep the bold, creamy flavor you love while swapping most of the heavy cheese sauce for thick, tangy Greek yogurt. The result is a filling that is still rich and cheesy, but brighter, higher in protein, and balanced enough to enjoy more than just one. Perfect for parties, brunch spreads,…

I’ve been in love with France ever since my first trip to Bordeaux in 2010. Friends I had met back in Thailand showed me around the area and introduced me to French culture. It was my first time in France and I loved the food, the wine, and the people. But that love became an obsession when, after Bordeaux, I stepped out of the Paris metro and onto the Champs Élysées. The lights, the energy, the mystique! There was magic in the air. I felt like I had known the city my entire life and I was simply returning home.…

Drilling through concrete, bricks, and stone requires more force than even the most powerful corded drill drivers can provide—and cordless hammer drills have enough oomph (plus the convenience of battery power) to complete such tasks. Since this type of power tool is less common than a standard battery-operated drill, we tested a half-dozen top options to help you select a model worth your money. After using each battery hammer drill to bore holes in concrete, ceramic tile, and cinder brick, we documented each tool’s ability, performance, and ease of use before assigning all worthy options awards.  Based on our tests…
