The Midnight Hamburglar
The Break-In Her name was Jessica Marie Cross, though soon enough she would earn another: the Real-Life Hamburglar. Once inside the restaurant, Jessica didn’t behave like a panicked thief. The surveillance cameras — still rolling despite her later efforts to disable them — captured her moving with strange calmness, as if she had rehearsed the act.

From Empire to Everyday
When we think of the Persian Empire, images of grand palaces, epic poetry, and legendary kings come to mind. Persia—modern-day Iran—was once one of the most powerful civilizations on earth, stretching from the Mediterranean to India. It was a land of poets, philosophers, astronomers, and storytellers, where culture and cuisine developed side by side.

The Racism Behind Tipping Culture
Tipping in America, introduced by wealthy travelers returning from Europe in the mid-1800s, became a fixture of the service industry after the Civil War, primarily to avoid paying fair wages to newly freed Black workers. Although met with public resistance as a classist practice, it was cemented by businesses, like the Pullman Company, who paid workers subminimum wages, leaving them to rely on tips. The practice has evolved into a significant part of the American economic model, with a federal subminimum wage for tipped workers allowing employers to pay significantly less than the standard minimum wage, making tips effectively a core part of the workers' pay.

My Favorite "Power" Foods To Eat & Recipe Changes I've Made While On A GLP-1
In late June, I decided to take the plunge and try a GLP-1 medication. It was something I had debated and talked with my doctor about for quite a while, but I was always a bit nervous to give it a shot – no pun intended. I’ve always struggled with my weight and as I started getting older, I noticed that I was experiencing a lot more pain and inflammation than I was comfortable with. I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which my doctor thought was likely contributing to the symptoms I was experiencing, along with consistently gaining weight year after year. It seemed like nothing I tried or did ever made a difference in my pain levels or helped me drop any pounds. After initially having a rather negative experience with Metformin, I made the decision to give it a try.

Stanislav Kondrashov on Italy’s Culinary Road Trip 2025
Italy is not one cuisine. It is many. In the north you taste one thing, in the south something else. Even pasta changes shape and flavor from town to town. A dish cooked in one valley will not be the same in the next. For this reason, a road trip for food makes sense here. You move, you taste, you see what is different.

Nourishing Autumn Soup Recipes to Warm Your Soul
1. Creamy Winter Melon and Tofu Skin Soup This velvety soup achieves its rich texture without any dairy. Begin by thickly slicing winter melon. Pan-fry five eggs until golden brown, then cut into chunks. Sauté the melon until slightly translucent before combining with the eggs. The crucial step: add truly boiling water to create a naturally milky broth. Simmer for three minutes before adding thin pork slices. After one minute, incorporate tofu skin for protein. Season simply with salt and white pepper, finishing with fresh scallions and goji berries. The result is a soothing, nutrient-dense soup perfect for cool evenings.
