A recipe that calls for a perfectly ripe and silky avocado requires planning ahead. But do I? No. More often I decide I need that precious avocado when I’m at the store buying groceries for that night’s dinner, and at that point, the chances of finding a ripe one are totally hit or miss (more often a miss).

Well, I recently read a tip that suggested a quick-and-easy method for ripening hard avocados at home. It sounded like it had the potential to be a total game changer, so I definitely had to try it for myself.

Have you seen people drinking coffee pulled from a tap this summer? That’s nitro coffee, and it’s currently all the rage.

My sons are more interested in cooking than I was at their ages. The youngest, age 9, spends most of his time in the kitchen trying to talk someone into cooking for him, and the oldest, age 17, has learned a number of things on his own and is fairly competent in the kitchen. But my middle son, 14 years old, wants more.

I’ve decided to be a little more methodical about teaching my sons to cook. So this week and next I’m counting down the 10 essentials I think they absolutely have to master before they fly the nest — starting with grocery shopping.

Q: I received this wok as a gift in high school, and it has now finally made it to my adult apartment. Is it ruined? What is the proper way to clean this guy? The black parts have tiny chunks of very, very burned-on stuff, and it needs an intense clean!

With Alzheimer’s on the rise and expected to nearly triple in incidence by 2050, it’s amazing how many people continue to hit the gym with the same goals they’ve always had: a smaller waist, bigger biceps, and six-pack abs.
