It didn#8217;t catch on here, but visiting Japanese officials loved the idea enough to bring it back to Japan. To commemorate the coronation of Emperor Hirohito in 1928, Japanese public radio began daily broadcasts of rajio taiso, or #8220;radio calisthenics.#8221; Every morning Japanese citizens, young and old, would gather to perform a short circuit of dynamic stretches, joint mobility drills, and bodyweight exercises in time to broadcasted piano music. Participation has dropped off in recent years, but even today about 20% of the Japanese population (and three quarters of elementary school students) still does the daily routine, which has remained unchanged for almost a century./p

Put down the takeout menu; forget about making another PB&J sandwich. Shrimp are here to save you from another boring weeknight dinner. It’s as simple as popping a few defrosted shrimp in the oven or sautéing them quickly after you get home from work or school. It only takes about five minutes.

Shrimp can elevate any plain bowl of pasta, grains, or salad. Get inspired by our easy shrimp tacos with mango-avocado salsa, shrimp pasta with white wine sauce, or sautéed shrimp with lemony quinoa. Shrimp are here to save the day!

Meat, seafood, cooked vegetables or even salad…it’s all more delicious when finished with smoked salt. You’ve probably seen smoked sea salt in gourmet food stores but the truth is, it’s nothing fancy. You can make a batch of smoked sea salt right now simply using your charcoal grill./p
pLight the lump charcoal, cover it with soaked wood chips and set a foil pan filled with sea salt on the grill grates. Cover the grill and let the smoke work its magic on the salt for an hour. That’s pretty much it. Smoked salt keeps forever in a glass jar, in the unlikely event that you don’t go through it much faster.
