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…

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…

President Donald Trump is calling for a temporary 10% cap on credit-card interest rates, arguing that Americans are being “ripped off” as borrowing costs remain stubbornly high. The proposal is the latest in a flurry of affordability-focused moves aimed squarely at voter frustration over everyday expenses, from housing to consumer debt.Trump Proposes One-Year Cap Starting Jan. 20Depositphotos Photo by thenews2.comIn a social-media post Friday, Trump said he wants credit-card interest rates capped at 10% for one year beginning Jan. 20.

Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$$This ode to Italian grilling honors the simplicity and comfort of meals shared in the Tuscan and Abruzzese countryside, but lovingly transplants them into an annex of Saint-Henri’s historic RCA building. Run by the team behind ever-cool Elena and intimate and elegant Nora Gray, Gia’s exceptional Italian menu comes as no surprise — though it leans slightly more rustic and of-the-earth than its siblings. Expect dishes like arrosticini (grilled meat skewers), Florentine steak, rabbit with mushrooms and mustard sauce, and other smoky, charcoal-grilled proteins, alongside fluffy focaccia, rustic pastas (think pici in creamy white…

Looking to make your own homemade daily shower spray from natural ingredients? Try my non-toxic formula that can be made in seconds. Bathrooms can get grubby pretty quickly, thanks to soap scum and water deposits. And because of all that water and humidity, they can be breeding grounds for mould and mildew. We used to buy a daily shower spray, to help keep things fresher in between deep cleans, but then when I was pregnant with my first daughter, the smell of the eco brand we used to buy made me feel really nauseous. That’s when I started experimenting with…

In that category, fast and easy muffin recipes have always been top-tier: perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, afternoon snacks, and those in-between moments when you need something nourishing now. Our Criteria for the Best Muffin Recipes When we’re curating the best muffin recipes, there are a few…

Has anyone ever told you to just be yourself?  It’s the sort of advice we give each other just before all those first impression experiences — job interviews, first dates, going to a new school — that tend to stir up a storm of nerves. We want people to like us. We want to feel understood and find connection with one another. It’s normal to feel nervous about how others might perceive us for the first time. New people and new environments can feel scary! “Has anyone ever told you to just be yourself?” Which is how we might find ourselves engaging…
