Soy sauce eggs are a thing. And in my area they’re more cost-effective than miso, and pack just as much of a umami punch.

They MAY sell drugs for less. These are the same drug companies that charge too much for EpiPens, just because they can. There isn’t a profit reason for drug companies to lower the cost, so trickle-down won’t trickle.

I taught my niece how to apply makeup a few weeks ago, and while looking for a good YouTube tutorial we discovered a bunch of blush infographics. I came from an apple-of-your-cheeks generation, and never suspected there were so many options. It’s eye-opening. And wallet-opening. I now own a bronzer and a…

Aimée, I like the questions you’re asking, and I find it beyond weird that so many replies focused on dating and relationships!! Can’t you ‘shippers and wanabee daters have that conversation elsewhere, and let us talk about the state of being alone instead?

Shouldn’t your thrift store article featured a photo of a thrift store, not an antique store? No way is that a thrift!

The Kitchn just ran several posts (here’s one) on snack boards. I’m about to test drive it as my new dinner plan.

This is a great just-in-time hack! If you roll out dough regularly, though, you might want to invest in a set of rolling pin bands.

I’m going to say this, then kick myself for being the bitch who said it, so feel free to contribute your own kick. Seriously, I can’t believe I’m about to be this rude to a total stranger.

I’m a college professor who transitioned to staff. (It seems like a backwards step, right? Best move I ever made.) As faculty I dressed professionally or in very well turned-out business casual because when hired I was much younger (32) than the core faculty (55 on average), so I needed the ‘respect’ bump the…

My Mom fed me (in the sense that she paid for food) but she didn’t cook. Cereal for breakfast, school lunches for lunch, and restaurants for dinner. Maybe if she had a smartphone she would have found it easier to cook. :-)

But my recipes are on my phone, and my hands are covered with flour and oil so I’m not sure the touchscreen will work, and dammit I need to stir something in right now, but I don’t remember what to add, and which freaking recipe step was I on anyway?

SideChef (ios) also talks you through recipes, but will let you add your own recipes. It’s a little tedious, however, so I’ve been playing with hands-free interval timers like Clappy or OnyxTimer as a possibly-easier workaround. I’m still looking for an app that will let me import a CSV file so I can bulk format the…

Throwing the cottage cheese in the blender gets rid of the curds, so it’s really smooth and creamy. For the past couple of years I’ve used cottage cheese as the base in my smoothies and I love it — it’s like a nice milkshake. My standard recipe makes 4 twelve ounce smoothies, which I freeze, then thaw at my desk every…

Fashion is a VERY legitimate topic to discuss, especially if the position requires public appearances. A programmer with bad taste? Not really an issue. But a PR Director, who might serve as the face of your company in a crises? That’s another story. But since fashion is subjective, it’s worth discussing to make sure…

My favorite on-the-go solution ever is the probably-discontinued Tide Stain Erasers. They worked by folding the eraser in half, which would release the cleaning solution to the pad. The orange tabs are nice handles you can hold while scrubbing. The handles make all the difference to me — I can scrub at the stain,…

I bought my iMac in 2006, and I’m still using it today. I didn’t realize it was so old. I’m thrilled with a decade of use, especially considering how I used to buy a new PC every two or three years.

Wow, that’s a long title. My brain shut down after “get you into others,” partially because I didn’t parse it as “other museums.” I originally thought this belonged in Lifehacker After Hours!

Jennnanigans, I’m working on a work capsule, too. What helped me most was to start with the bottom half of my body, then work up. I have two really good pairs of black pants (summer weight and winter weight), a pair of khakis, and then (because I’m a skirt girl) five neutral pencil skirts, one bright pencil skirt, and…

So true! I practice “Inbox Annual” every month, where I delete emails that are over a year old.

‘Inbox zero’ is about reducing the number of emails in your Inbox to zero. People who follow this school of thought generally make a bunch of folders with project names or people’s names, and then they laboriously move the emails from their Inbox to the correct subfolder, or to the trash. It takes for freaking ever.…
