| Curtains, Blinds, or Both? Here’s How to Pick Window Treatments Posted: 01 Apr 2022 05:30 AM PDT If there's one thing to remember when outfitting a room, it isn't that you need a cozy sofa and an appropriately-sized area rug. You also don't have to keep reminding yourself to add a variety of light sources and verdant plants. These important details aren't necessarily going to slip your mind, but this sole component might: Choosing the right window treatments. "We ask a lot from our windows," says Nicholas Potts, an architect based in Washington, D.C. "There are times when lighting has to be controlled in certain ways, and other times when treatments are unnecessary." |
| Can You Drink Water During Ramadan? Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:33 PM PDT Ramadan, which always occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time for deep reflection and spiritual revelations among members of the Muslim community who practice the religion of Islam. During this holy month, observant Muslims take part in the practice of fasting, which means that they don't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. This year, Ramadan commences at sunset on Friday, April 1, 2022 and ends at sunset on Sunday, May 1, 2022, but the specific dates change every year depending on moon sightings. |
| I Have No Idea How Much Ham to Buy Per Person Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:00 PM PDT When it comes to planning the ham for Easter or Christmas dinner (or any meal where a large-format pork will be the hero), a number of questions present themselves almost immediately: Where should I buy the ham? What type of ham should I buy? Bone-in or boneless? How much ham per person? and so on. Odds are your holiday meal has been a bit smaller in recent years, but intimate gatherings with family and friends are starting to get back to normal. These questions remain just as important when serving your household of three as they were when you were hosting 20. It's intimidating enough to host a larger-than-normal group of loved ones and the cost of food, wine, and festive décor can add up fast. You don't want to spend more than you need to, so, let's break down exactly how many pounds of boneless or bone-in ham you need per guest. From Our Shop How much ham per person?The best rule of thumb for ham is to plan about 1/2 pound per person when picking a bone-in ham (it's heavier) and 1/3 pound if boneless. Look, at the end of the day, some people will eat more than expected, some will eat less—it'll even out. If you're making a lot of side dishes, err on the smaller side; if you texted your roommates "ham party at 3 p.m. on Sunday," consider buying more. And if you definitely want leftovers for ham sandwiches, breakfast omelettes and quiches, or mini ham croquettes, then go for an extra pound or two. |
| Impossible Foods Sausage Links Are the Plant-Based Meat I Didn't Know I Wanted Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:47 PM PDT I'm not really a breakfast person. I'm a croissant-on-Fridays person. I'm definitely a coffee person. I'm a have-a-bowl-of-oatmeal-at-11:30-and-call-it-brunch person. But I'm not someone who, by any means, diligently eats half a grapefruit every morning or devours a plate of bacon and eggs, hash browns, and buttered toast sliced kitty-corner before work. The latest launch from Impossible Foods is daring me to change my ways. From Our Shop The multibillion-dollar plant-based food company has once again expanded its offerings with Impossible Sausage Links. Available in three varieties—Bratwurst, Italian, and Spicy—the sausage links join their Impossible relatives, which include ground sausage, breakfast sausage patties, and frozen sausage patties. The links are made to taste like pork sausage and offer the same satisfying crack you get when biting into a meaty sausage link, thanks to the plant-based casing. |
| 9 Most Popular Products Our Community Bought in March Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:00 PM PDT I learned long ago that shopping is one of my greatest joys. Not just because I genuinely love discovering new products and brands, but because I love showing them off to anyone who will listen. So is it any surprise that I'm a market editor? Nope, none whatsoever. Possibly an even greater joy? Seeing what our readers shop for each month. In March, so many of you picked up spring cleaning essentials like grout cleaner and dryer vent brushes, as well as dinnerware and cotton napkins. |
| Of Course Ina Garten's Ice Cream Hack Is Totally Brilliant Posted: 31 Mar 2022 11:41 AM PDT Ina Garten's cooking is always alluring in its simplicity, making it seem like it is easy to be as effortlessly fancy as she is. Part of that is her expertise in knowing exactly which parts of a meal you should spend time on, and which parts can be best assembled from store-bought ingredients. In a segment this week on the Today Show, she offered a brilliant suggestion: how to gussy up plain ol', store-bought vanilla ice cream and make it into a dinner party-worthy dessert. |
| 7 Soundproofing Hacks to Drown Out Your Noisy Neighbors Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:45 PM PDT There's a saying among the acoustics junkies, home improvement enthusiasts, and city dwellers of Reddit: Sound is like water—it can find its way into a space through even the smallest opening. In other words, making a room, let alone an entire apartment, completely soundproof can feel like a Sisyphean effort. As hopeless as they may sound, these same Reddit users do their best to, at the very least, reduce the amount of noise that seeps its way into their homes. And, lucky for us, they're more than willing to share their hacks with the rest of the internet-browsing public. Whether you're dealing with a loud neighbor, constant construction, or bumper-to-bumper traffic right outside your window, you can counteract some of the cacophony using some of the tips below: |
| Redefining Identity, One Asian American Dish at a Time Posted: 31 Mar 2022 09:00 AM PDT In one of his popular YouTube videos for NYT Cooking, Eric Kim introduces his Sheet-Pan Bibimbap as "really chill." Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of his family's preferred midnight snack, Kim gives the ultimate credit to his mother's techniques before shyly admitting she now uses his recipe. The vegetables are roasted in olive oil, cooked rice is crisped on a hot sheet pan to emulate the effects of a dolsot. The result mimics a traditional bibimbap—though for a dish that varies from family to family, what is traditional?—and meets the simple aesthetics and unpretentious elegance that so many crave today. For me, there's something validating about the bulk of Kim's recipes. Despite not having my own midnight bibimbap memories (I'm Indian American), his food feels representative, because it is distinctly Asian American. From Our Shop To consider an "Asian American" cuisine category when the entire concept of "Asian America" is up for debate could seem hypocritical. The Loneliest Americans author Jay Caspian Kang has devoted a book and several essays arguing against the idea, as the fast-growing group of more than 20 million who make up this identity differ in race, socioeconomic standing, and cultural norms. Kang argues the term is only used by "upwardly mobile professionals who enter mostly white middle-class spaces." If he is correct, perhaps the term becomes even more apt when it comes to food, because this cuisine is often born out of cultural merging, even assimilation. Consider the nikkei and chifa cuisines of Japanese and Chinese Peruvians; the Gullah cuisine of the South Carolina islands created by West and Central Africans blending techniques of their homelands with the ingredients of the land they were forced to work; even the Tex-Mex food of the borderlands. Food evolves when cultures mingle. |
| Our Most Popular Recipes in March Posted: 31 Mar 2022 07:00 AM PDT While February was full of belly-warming porridge and garlic-flecked sausage ragù, March's most popular new recipes are decidedly springier. Tell me—what are you whipping up these days? Number four, below, is at the top of my wishlist. From Our Shop 10. Salmon Coulibiac With Dilly Sour CreamSalmon has never felt so tended to. This recipe from Melina Hammer is a weekend project, yes. But a worthy one. |
| The Iconic Cookware We Just Can't Stop Collecting Posted: 31 Mar 2022 05:15 AM PDT If there's one object in my kitchen that gets more oohs and aahs than anything else in the room, it's my Dansk Købenstyle butter warmer. A small-scale saucepan in a warm shade of plum, it never leaves my stove except to get washed. Lest you think it serves aesthetic purposes alone, let me underline the fact that I use it every single day—no, multiple times a day. It is quite simply the prettiest little workhorse I've owned. Dansk has been a familiar brand to me for a while; before I bought my first piece I'd seen pepper mills and trays in the homes of friends, and fawned over casseroles and silverware in vintage stores. The name Købenstyle, however, was less familiar to me. If you, like me, first heard the word and thought of København, you wouldn't be remiss—these distinctive pots and pans were designed by Copenhagen-born sculptor and designer Jens Quistgaard. |
