What we love: For many people, a Cuisinart food processor is the food processor. After all, they were the brand that first introduced the appliance to American markets in 1973. That half a century’s worth of brand reputation and good will from consumers is not without reason. It’s a powerful machine, with Mensa-sharp blades that slash chunky vegetables with uncompromising uniformity. It’ll puree bean dips smooth as K-beauty night creams, and mix pie crusts flaky enough to keep a family quiet and smiling through an election year Thanksgiving.(I should say the Breville performs equally well, but I’m trying my best…

If mid-century American advertising is to be believed, the way to your mom’s heart is through a toaster. “There’s no gift more welcome than an electric appliance,” reads a 1948 ad for Proctor toasters. Or take this gem: “Christmas morning, she’ll be happier with a Hoover.”Oh, no thank you! Don’t get us wrong, we’re passionate about kitchen gear, but unless your mom explicitly asked for a shiny new blender (or stand mixer or juicer), it’s best to steer clear of the appliance-as-present path, lest you risk sending the message that you’d like the mom in your life to do more…

If all your conversations are suddenly orbiting around thinning hair, mood swings, and stubborn weight gain, congrats: you may be in perimenopause, the transitional phase before full-on menopause. Other signs? You’re waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason, your brain feels cloudy, and everything feels a little more stressful than it did before.You can thank your hormones, including cortisol.

Prada, spring 2000 ready-to-wear Photo: WWD / Getty ImagesChloé, fall 2001 ready-to-wear Photo: JB Villareal / Shoot DigitalThe Devil Wears Prada is more about fashion writ large than it is about clothing, at least that was my impression upon reading Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel for the first time this year. That means that when actual garments do appear, they’re not only descriptors but signifiers that anchor the characters by status and taste.When she arrives at Runway magazine, DWP’s protagonist Andy Sachs, a recent Brown graduate who dreams of a career in “serious” journalism, looks down her nose at fashion, which…

If pantry staples were ranked on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, sweetened condensed milk would land somewhere near the top (closer to black garlic and malted milk powder than to true essentials like flour, salt, and eggs).

In 1835, English civil engineer William Newton added sugar to…
