Brown-edge cookies may not look like much — and their no-nonsense name certainly doesn’t do them any favors — but don’t let appearances fool you. In the great Venn diagram of cookies, this little wafer lies at the intersection of Christmas sugar cookie, vanilla wafer and French tuile. They are absurdly buttery, crisp at the…
It was ultimately a dating app that introduced Sree Arimilli and Sandheep Surendran of San Francisco. But more traditional and spiritual elements, as well as a bit of self help, also played a part. Ms. Arimilli was out to dinner with a friend in New York in late 2016. When talk turned to their love…
With that, the wheels of a Hollywood-style proposal were set in motion. But not before Ms. Gist and Ms. Brown, who is also a producer on “Our Kind of People,” figured out who they are as a couple. “We’re such lesbians,” Ms. Gist said. “We started this thing where we’d turn off all the lights…
Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado gets one question a lot about his Sept. 15 wedding to Marlon Reis. “People say, ‘You know, it took you a while to get married,’” Mr. Polis, a Democrat, said. “But what’s important to remember is that Obergefell v.

Jack Sprat may eat no fat, but I wonder how he’d weigh in on boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Unlike the rich, sinewy flesh of the drumstick or wing — of which I doubt he’d approve — boneless, skinless thighs provide unbroken expanses of smooth, texturally unchallenging meat. While not quite as lean as chicken breasts,…
Her offhandedness is part of her charm, but it has a purpose. Leiby wants to give us a portrait of abortion not as a crisis or a moral question, but as a common and confusing medical procedure. The broader context of this show, as she reminds the audience, is a culture of silence surrounding women.…
If ever there was a clear-your-calendar type of fashion show, it’s the Savage X Fenty Show Volume 3, a literal extravaganza that just debuted on Amazon Prime Video. It watches like a short film meets extended-cut music video, with gorgeous set design, amazing choreography, some seriously big-name appearances, and costumes that aren’t actually costumes but,…
Fashion Week is back in full force, and there’s a lot to see. Blink (or scroll too fast on Instagram) and you’ll miss the details: tiny bags, tall shoes, feathered hats, leather capes and diamond dog collars. So as part of a new series, Wow Moment, we’ll spotlight things we saw on the runways that…
When Leslie Arffa was asked what she thought were Samir Doshi’s best qualities, she cleared her throat, and hesitated with evident emotion. “He’s incredibly kind and thoughtful,” she said. “I never met anyone before that I never got tired of spending time with.” Ms. Arffa added that he was “also very attentive, and a very…
The C.D.C. panel’s guidance followed weeks of internal disagreement and public debate among American health officials and advisers. In mid-August, President Biden announced plans for a booster rollout, but scientists and regulators were quick to point out there was little research on who might benefit and how the doses should be distributed. The F.D.A.’s acting…
