Preparation With the triple threat of tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic in its DNA, marinara sauce has an impressive range beyond being just a pasta topper. Hang onto what’s left in the pot (or jar): Every spoonful can be used in entirely new and delicious ways. Homemade marinara requires only five ingredients and can be stored in the fridge for a week (or in the freezer for up to one month)....

Preparation A single bold flower or a cluster of delicate blooms adds a romantic flourish to your wedding-day hairstyle. In general, use larger blossoms with simple styles, smaller ones for more intricate looks. Opt for flowers that are in season and are resilient. Some flowers shouldn’t be used near your skin, for safety reasons; your florist will be able to guide you to sensible choices. And your hairstylist can pinpoint which blooms will work best to create the look you want to achieve....

Preparation Cleaning your home’s windows regularly can help brighten your interior spaces. After all, cleaner windows let in more light. But when we clean our windows, we so often neglect the screens that take the brunt of the elements, and accumulate dust and grime over time. Now, apply this logic to your front door, especially if yours has a mesh screen across the front. Are you thoroughly sudsing up the screen door after wiping away any smudges on the glass portion, or are you simply polishing knobs and calling it a day?...

Preparation Nothing is more rewarding than watching your hard work pay off in the garden come summertime when you’re busy creating beautiful arrangements for your interiors or harvesting fresh vegetables for the kitchen. But just planting your garden isn’t enough—you’ll need to do more than water your plants and flowers throughout the growing season to have flowers, fruit, or vegetables to cull in the months to come. The key to growing a successful garden is to repel pests and prevent small critters and animals from chewing up your hard work....

Preparation Couples get married at the courthouse (or city hall) for lots of reasons-limited funds, imminent military obligations, lack of interest in wedding hoopla, and so forth. But while it may not be as festive as a ballroom wedding that’s taken a year to plan, there’s no reason to treat a civil ceremony in a municipal building as less than exciting and momentous. After all, the goal is still the same: to get married!...

Preparation If you’ve ever made a big batch of homemade marinara sauce or brought leftover pasta to work for lunch, then you’ve likely experienced the struggle of trying to clean an empty food container that has been stained with tomato sauce.

Shiratama Dango (白玉団子) is a type of mochi and we use glutinous rice flour to make it. This glutinous rice flour is made from mochigome (もち米/糯米) and it’s different from other types of glutinous rice flour because mochigome is Japanese short-grain rice (other kinds may use long grain rice, etc). There are two types of glutinous rice flour you can use: shiratamako (白玉粉) or mochiko (餅粉) (or combine both). I recommend using shiratamako because mochi made with shiratamako has a very smooth, more refined, and elastic bouncy texture....
