Rotisserie chicken is one of my stealthiest weeknight shortcuts for getting dinner on the table fast—and I have a feeling I’m not alone. It’s already cooked, perfectly juicy, and waiting for you at the grocery store. What’s not to love? Sure, you could set the whole bird in the center of the table and call it a day. But an even better option? Turning it into one of countless quick, flavor-packed rotisserie chicken recipes. I’ll admit, the flavor can vary from store to store. In Austin, Central Market’s rotisserie chickens are my go-to—especially the Hatch Chile version, which is next-level,…

Welcome to Deep Dish, a weekly roundup of food and entertainment news. Last time we discussed caviar’s long fall from grace.There’s a lot to love about Chipotle—well a lot less than there used to be, but still a lot to love. As intrepid reporter (and my Deep Dish collaborator) Li Goldstein wrote in 2023, Chipotle simply hits different now. The prices skyrocketed, and, after several food safety scares, the ingredients are prepared ahead of time in centralized locations. As Li wrote in her piece, “Chipotle may have gotten safer, but it almost certainly didn’t get tastier.”But if Chipotle’s burritos have…

According to estimates cited by lawmakers and advocates, Americans may have lost out on at least $19 billion in financial relief during that period.Report alleges $19 billion in lost consumer reliefDepositphotos Photo by Sheilaf2002The report, prepared by the office of Elizabeth Warren and shared ahead of its release, argues that reduced oversight and enforcement directly harmed consumers. It attributes the…

Forget Phuket’s reputation as a backpacker’s paradise. There’s a whole lot more to Thailand’s largest island than its nightlife scene, with a clutch of white sand beaches fringing azure waters, a scattering of historic temples, a cheerful town center lined with colorful 19th-century shophouses, and markets slinging everything from street food to spices and knick-knacks for your suitcase. Whatever you seek from an island getaway, you’re sure to find it here.Phuket’s charm lies in how it balances pin-drop silence, idyllic vistas, and gorgeous shorelines with easy proximity to lights, buzz, and plenty of fabulous restaurants. The versatility makes it a…

Oh Ruth, this was just perfect and made me tear up! Wishing you and all the COJ readers a xīn nián kuài lè! Our house is all decorated for the new year, we had dumplings on little new year this past week (festival of the kitchen god), and a big family feast to look forward to next week. Celebrating the holiday is one of the things I’ve come to look forward to every year since I met my husband – we joke we have three new years now (Jewish, Gregorian, and Chinese) to get things right! 😉 P.S. Ruth- I…

One of the more entertaining aspects of financial social media is watching hyperbole get passed around like a hot potato. Almost every month, there seems to be a new label designed to classify where people supposedly stand in society. We already have poor, low income, lower middle class, middle class, DUPs, HENRY, mass affluent, Fat FIRE, poor millionaire, and rich. If there is one thing we love in addition to earning money, it is categorizing ourselves and others. And if we can categorize others below where we stand, we might feel a little better about our own situation. Since 2009,…

Summary: I’ve been searching for a clean mascara that actually performs since my early 20s, but most natural formulas melted off my eyes within hours — forcing me to choose between my values and my lashes. Until I tested the Expressionist Curling Mascara from Well People.

My lashes look curled, lifted, and miles long on the first swipe, and the formula stays put through everything from dance class to fancy dinners. What I…
