When it comes to stocking stuffers, the best gift ideas are things people will actually use. Convenient as it might be to wait until December 24 to roll through your hometown mall and buy random tchotchkes on sale, there are so many distinguishable mementos out there that you’d be wise to start thinking about holiday…
Pregnant women who had Covid-19 when they delivered their babies were almost twice as likely to have a stillbirth as healthy women who did not have Covid, according to a new Centers for Disease Control study released Friday that examined more than 1.2 million deliveries in the U.S. between March 2020 and September 2021.

Too Much Oversharing I have a co-worker I have gotten relatively close with over the past two years. For a year, I was her direct manager, though she has since transitioned to another department. We’ve shared somewhat personal details about our lives. While I prefer to handle issues like these outside of work, I was…
I’m fortunate enough to live in a city that is very walkable and public transit-friendly. I love being able to stroll from work to galleries and restaurants, but I can’t seem to find shoes that are both comfortable and chic and can take me from my tech job to meetings with friends and exploring new…
During my long career writing about Jewish cooking, I’ve focused on finding lost recipes. But recently, a recipe found me.

But when she ended things, she became filled with more doubt about her decision with each passing day. [Like…
Courtesy It seems like every Black Friday, sales come a little bit earlier than they did last year. You might feel like you could potentially wrap up all of your holiday shopping (on a budget!) before you even start defrosting the turkey this year, but contrary to popular belief some brands are still adhering to…
“Look what other countries are doing now about adopting a booster campaign virtually for everybody,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Biden administration’s top Covid adviser, said at a conference on Tuesday. “I think if we do that, and we do it in earnest, I think by the spring we can have pretty good control of…
1. Shrimp Creole Vallery Lomas’s spicy shrimp Creole, a southern Louisiana classic, is the type of stew that gives you weekend depth of flavor on a weeknight timetable. Keep a close eye on the roux as it cooks — as Vallery notes in the recipe headnote, a burned roux can’t be saved. 3. Kimchi Jjigae With…
