A vinaigrette has two main components, oil and an acid—usually vinegar or lemon juice. Typically there are other players: mustard, a sweetener of some kind, probably some herbs and seasonings.

When is the last time you got a new phone number? Chances are good you’re rocking the same one you were assigned when you bought your first device, whenever that was, and have ported it from one phone to another over the years.

You may have noticed that houses are hella expensive right now—according to the Zillow Home Value Index, a typical home in this fine capitalist paradise now costs nearly $350,000.

It can be such a deer-in-headlights, panic-inducing moment. You’ve spent weeks scrolling through job listings, (ruling out most of them), selecting a few that fit your background and career path, tailored and tweaked your cover letter ten times, and finally gotten a bite from a hiring manager at a company you’d love…

If you’re wondering why you and your partner are having trouble breaking a negative cycle in your relationship that often leads to conflict, chances are you’re triggering each other’s sympathetic nervous system.

Everything seems better at the beginning of a relationship, but especially the sex. Impromptu romps in the sack are the norm as you and your partner are excited to explore each other’s bodies. You’re never too tired or bored either—you’re almost always in the mood.

You shouldn’t follow every piece of TikTok advice that passes through your feed, but this recent tech tip making the rounds is worth heeding: Don’t use the iOS highlighter pen to block important information in screenshots and other images.

Southern cooks—or, more accurately, Southern eaters—have a lot of opinions about a lot of foods. Even if you don’t make the grits, fish, or beans, you probably have thoughts about how they should be prepared. Biscuits are particularly good at generating debate—even something as simple as the shape can cause friction.

Speed dial was an essential efficiency tool back when you needed to dial every number by hand. Rather than waste precious seconds punching the same digits every day, you could program your favorite contacts to designated spots on either a landline or a cell phone for quick, single-button access.
