In fact, if you caught that viral salmon bowl that made the rounds on TikTok earlier this year, you’ve already been acquainted with Kewpie mayo in all of its glory—recipe developer Emily Mariko used it in the video to top her meal, which also included leftover salmon and rice, as well as dried seaweed. The TikTok, which has been viewed more than 74 million times since September, helped catapult Kewpie mayo to star status....
What Is Sake, Exactly? First, all sake begins with rice. Just how wine is made from grapes, sake is made from rice. But, like beer, sake is brewed. Beyond the primary crop used (rice versus grain), the main difference between sake and beer brewing processes stems from how the brewer changes the crop’s sugars before fermentation (the process that creates alcohol). To make beer, brewers malt grain, boil it, then add yeast to spark fermentation....
Today, it’s often used by people to help with their personal and professional development and is referred to as Modern Stoicism. While you might not be familiar with the names of the best-known pioneering Stoics like Marcus Aurelius or Epictetus, you probably know many of today’s practitioners who study and apply Stoic philosophies: people like Bill Clinton, Tom Brady, Lupe Fiasco, and Jack Dorsey, along with historical figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson....
What Does Paint Primer Do? Primers are formulated to adhere to the substrate and create a uniform surface for the finish coat. Primers stick to the surface; finish coats stick to the primer. This type of product penetrates unpainted surfaces, smoothing out any porosity. Primers for wood, whether they are latex or oil-base, contain specialized ingredients that topcoats don’t always have (or have in lesser amounts). Stain-inhibiting tannin blockers or preservatives that are found in primers, for instance, are designed to soak into raw wood and seal it so the tannins don’t bleed through and stain the finish paint....
Other courses get a lift from citrus zest. Sometimes, as in this Chicken and Lemon-Broccoli Alfredo recipe, it’s a primary flavor. Other times, citrus zest adds a little spark to the deep, rich flavors of a simmering savory dish. Try that strategy in this Spring Stroganoff recipe. Last but not least, we love the way lemon or lime zest contrasts the sweetness in citrus desserts, like Lemon Meringue Pie. But what if you’re all set to cook only to discover you’re out of fresh citrus to zest for your recipe?...
Guayama, Puerto Rico The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean. Outside the mainland, there are smaller islands, such as Culebra and Vieques, that are breathtaking too. Some people come for vacation but fall in love with the culture—a mix of indigenous Taino, European, and African peoples. With an abundance of direct flights to/from various cities on the east coast and Midwest, there are many transplants from the lower 48 states....
The short answer is no, according to Michael Mazius, PhD, renowned psychologist and director of North Shore Center in Wisconsin. While organizations have done a tremendous job to replicate the office environment through a virtual setting, there is no denying that it isn’t the same. Mazius is a strong proponent of in-office work as he believes social interactions play a tremendously positive role in our happiness. While remote and hybrid work models absolutely have their advantages and are likely to become permanent fixtures of how we work, it’s important to realize the implications WFH can have on our mental health as we make decisions on whether or not to return....
But the thing that most of HGTV’s shows have in common—and I’m a pretty good source on this because I’ve watched a lot of them—is a fixation with open floor plans. It borders on idol worship. Spend 30 minutes in front of one of the network’s renovation shows, and you’ll soon decide that open is the only way to live. If there’s a wall in the way of the kitchen-to-family-room sightline, the potential homeowner will ask to knock it down....
In fact, the act of setting goals—whether professional, personal, or both—improves our productivity, satisfaction, and perspective. What’s more, this is true whether or not we’re successful at reaching these goals. Here, wellness experts explain why we should set goals, how they help us, and how to find the silver lining when we don’t accomplish what we’d hoped. Another psychological perk of goal-setting is that it challenges us to tune in to our intuition when we think about our resolutions....

Prep the Corn For 1 quart or 2 pints of canned corn, you’ll need about 4½ pounds of corn (the weight before you cut off kernels). Start by removing the husks, then scrub the ears with a vegetable brush to remove the silks. Wash each ear and drain. In a large pot cover the ears of corn with boiling water and boil 3 minutes. Cut the corn from the cobs at ¾-inch depth of the kernels (in other words, don’t scrape the cob)....
