It made me think of briefcases and fat rolodexes—definitely not anything that would be relevant to me. I was a music performance major and…

If you want to grow your net worth, saving as much of your income as possible is a good start—but it’ll only get you so far.

Besides the act of properly dicing an onion, few food things have been written about as much as the roasted chicken. The reasons for this are obvious—it’s a homey, comforting source of protein that can be riffed on before it goes in the oven, and repurposed for the entire week after.
