Good morning. At last, it’s oven weather where I stay. I set the thermostat low, put on a sweater under my apron and get to work: a Guinness pie, say, or a braised leg of lamb? Better yet, a perfect lasagna (above). Regina Schrambling wrote the recipe more than 20 years ago after studying scores…
While that collective experience is enough to have taught us how the body responds when gravity’s pull is substantially reduced, the magnetosphere still shields the I.S.S., and only the 24 astronauts who flew in the Apollo program have gone beyond it. (The moon orbits an average of more than 238,000 miles away.) Though these two…
Las Vegas has long been a stage where reality dissolves into fantasy. In the heart of the desert — a place where the Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids and medieval castles all beam on one glamorous strip — the entertainment is virtually unlimited.

This year’s batch of beauties from Claire Saffitz (above) is particularly lovely, both in the eating and the sharing: pumpkin pie with pepitas, lemon cream pie with honey and ginger, caramel apple pie, pecan slab pie and a cranberry cheesecake tart. She also has…
On Thursday mornings, Julia Sadtler and Debora Dunbar log onto Zoom to talk about caring for their husbands with Alzheimer’s disease, in hourlong conversations that are usually informative, sometimes emotional and always supportive. Both men are patients at Penn Memory Center in Philadelphia, which began this mentorship program for caregivers in September. By design, the…
Ella me había buscado en Google. De hecho, se había buscado a sí misma en Google, y como nos llamamos igual, fui yo la que apareció en su pantalla. Llena de curiosidad, entró a mi sitio web y leyó algunos de mis ensayos. Luego, la Jennifer Graham de Lucas, Ohio, le escribió un correo electrónico…
A bad speech, he added, can lead to dangerous moments at a wedding. “If it’s off-color, inappropriate, boring or too long, it sucks the energy out of the wedding as food gets cold,” he said.
