Among the other flamboyantly garnished and highly aromatic plates being handed around the table at a Thai dinner a few weeks ago, this one seemed rather Plain Jane. An unassuming bowl of slippery noodles sprinkled with what looked like crispy pork and crushed peanuts? But one bite was all it took — it was love at first spicy-tangy-sweet forkful.

“Guess who’s coaching our son’s baseball team?” I screamed at my husband, as he groggily awoke the day after returning home from a deployment to Iraq.

 

“Please tell me it’s not me,” he responded with his eyes still shut.

 

“No, it’s me!” I yelled with exuberance, and then quietly added, “But you’re my manager.”

More than a decade after experiencing my first pupusa, I can still remember my wide-eyed joy as I bit into the thick, stuffed tortilla. Why had I never eaten one before, and how soon could I have another?

As I learned, the best part about El Salvador’s national dish isn’t just the warm, savory masa filled with melty cheese (or meat or beans), but its brilliant accompaniment called curtido. Like a sauerkraut or kimchi, this zippy cabbage relish balances the heaviness of the pupusa and makes it a simple yet satisfying meal for any time of day.

Let’s say you’ve conquered the raw kale salad. Maybe you massage it, maybe you don’t, but it’s definitely no surprise anymore to sit down to a big bowl of raw, dark greens and chow down. But perhaps now you’re a little bored. You want something more — a recipe to impress your kale-loving friends and shake you out of your salad stupor this summer. Smoky and garlicky, studded with chunks of grilled bread, this grilled kale salad is it.

In the social circle of patterns, I am pretty sure ombré is Queen Bee — the Regina George, the Blair Waldorf, the Khaleesi. It is almost too cool for school. And I’m just a little polka dot hanging out with my striped and plaid farmer friends, because my heavens, I could never pull off ombré hair or an ombré garment. Ombré is reserved for the cool, edgy people that can get away with other edgy things.

But ombré cake! Ooh, that I could do. Ombré carrots! I could do that, too. Ombré popsicles! Yes, those I can definitely do. And so can you.

The plank is one of the most common go-to exercises for the core. But as with all strength training exercises, you eventually need progression. The coaches at Ultimate Sandbag Training share one such way to enhance the plank by using a sandbag. The goal is not necessarily to move the weight far or fast, but to focus on stability by using uneven leverages.

I used to giggle at the idea of purse snacks. I mean, only moms need them since they’re on the go with kids, right? Wrong! I can’t count the number of times I’ve been saved from dangerously low blood-sugar levels and the ensuing crankiness by scarfing down a snack that was stashed in my purse or bag.

Ha! There’s a car at my kids’ school with a magnet that says 0.1. The owner of the car says it really makes some runners mad but I thought it was hilarious.
