I love making onigiri, Japanese rice balls. They can come plain or with endless varieties of filling. I seriously love them all, but this Ume Miso and Shiso Onigiri (梅味噌と紫蘇のおにぎり) is definitely the best combination I’ve tried yet! The pillowy rice balls come with zesty umami tang that is distinct, with a touch of aromatic herb imbued with nutty crunch. Perhaps it has to do with the summer heat, I keep craving for them....
Preparation Come mealtime, seat-seeking guests will give your digits a serious once-over, so don’t let them be an afterthought. Instead, follow this simple equation: Your theme plus numerals that match equals harmonious tablescapes. It’s elementary, my dear.

It’s easy being green – just fashion numerals from Bell’occhio’s boxwood garland, and then stand each up in a moss-filled mini terra-cotta pot spray-painted gold (dollartree....
Preparation Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat – in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you’re going fudgy or cakey. See the recipes below to get an idea of the ratios needed to achieve your ideal brownie. A little less chocolate, a little less butter, but more flour yields a taller, more cakey brownie – that bakes faster than its fudgy relation....
Preparation After walking down the aisle, the bride usually takes her place on the left side of the altar. This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when grooms kept their sword-fighting right hand open for combat with those trying to rescue the bride, who was often kidnapped before the wedding. While “marriage by capture” is (thankfully) no longer practiced, brides still often choose to stand on the left side at the ceremony-a widely recognized, but not entirely necessary, custom....
Preparation Wild birds benefit from the feeders that you have in your backyard. When food is scarce, your feeders ensure that they have an adequate food source. They also encourages the birds to inhabit the local area, meaning you get a daily chance to birdwatch from your window. But it can be rather jarring when you, seemingly all of a sudden, stop seeing the birds visit your feeder. If you’re missing these feathered neighbors, have no fear: We talked to experts from the National Audubon Society to understand the top reasons why the birds may have stopped visiting your feeder....
