Good morning. My colleague Gabriel Sanchez brought us a fantastic recipe for Father’s Day this year: the smoked prime rib (above) that his father makes, a homage to the one he used to prepare when he was cooking at Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas, where Gabe’s great-grandfather tended the coals before him. Gabe wrote all…
“This is a video for anyone that’s coming to Paris Olympics 2024,” a woman says in a clip posted to TikTok. She pauses briefly, and then continues: “Don’t come. Cancel everything.” The video, which was uploaded in November, now has more than 700,000 views. The creator, Miranda Starcevic, is a 31-year-old French American who lives…
The tables were filling up at Urban Tandoor, a British curry house wholesome enough for a family meal and elegant enough for a low-key first date. Painted flowers twist up its entrance and lights adorn the colorful walls inside, a homage to Bristol’s artistic reputation. The local haunt in southwest England promises an array of…
What is it about Katie Holmes that has professional style watchers breathlessly documenting her every fashion choice?

As a boy, Les Milne carried an air of triumph about him, and an air of sorrow. Les was a particularly promising and energetic young man, an all-Scottish swim champion, head boy at his academy in Dundee, a top student bound for medical school. But when he was young, his father died; his mother was…
I’ve been writing about wine long enough to have made my share of misjudgments over the years. One was to overemphasize the notion of seasonal drinking, the idea that we gravitate naturally to whites and rosés in the summer and reds in the winter. I’ve learned with experience that I pretty much enjoy the same…
I was born into an angry world. My first lessons as a child involved understanding and avoiding the invisible triggers that permeated our home. My mother was often angry at my father. My brother, upset about our parents’ separation — and by my presence, after he’d been an only child for six years — was…
Kanako Abe noticed a cute guy with “mysterious, deep-set eyes” on an Amtrak train headed from New York City to Montreal in March 2012. John Christopher Seemer took note of Ms. Abe, too. But neither spoke a word to the other — that is, until their return trip six days later, on March 17, 2012.…
