There are plenty of times, especially when it’s too cold to entertain the idea of leaving the house, when I want to spend all day making dinner — not a multicourse meal or anything like that, but something wildly ambitious like rolling my own pasta dough and cooking a six-hour Bolognese to assemble into a…
Shaved ice with a drizzle of bright syrup can take dessert out for a holiday spin. The machine you need to produce it usually requires a block of ice. But Little Snowie 2, with a cute robotic profile, is designed for home use and does the job with ice cubes. Six flavor samples are included.…

Part of being a Mom is loving robes. A good robe brings her back to your family vacation to Niagara Falls and the Marriott hotel (“well isn’t this a nice robe”). It’s her go-to attire for all activities before 8AM, conjuring memories of making Eggos on Saturday morning. It hides ratty old pajamas. In short,…
George Smiley is not coming back (yet), but John le Carré is. The renowned spy novelist’s next book, “Agent Running in the Field,” will be published in October 2019, his publisher Viking announced today. Le Carré’s most recently published book, “A Legacy of Spies” (2017), featured the first appearance in 27 years by Smiley, an…
One of the things we have lost in the digital era — and we have lost a lot — is a tributary medium of sorts, the tangible practice of holding an image in our hands that maps an emotional bayou of truth. Still photographs capture the private determination and personal integrity of their subjects in…
