Preparation Japanese maples are surprisingly easy to grow and flexible enough to tolerate a wide range of soils and even some shade. For the best color, grow them in full sun with afternoon shade, especially in the hottest regions. The best location is a sunny spot with afternoon shade. Red and variegated leaves need relief from the hot afternoon sun but won’t attain their full color in deep shade. Golden leaves, on the other hand, will remain green in shade....

Preparation Some of us enjoy knitting, while others prefer crocheting. Both techniques of needlework use yarn to create beautiful pieces—garments, accessories like hats and mittens, blankets—that adorn our homes or fill our closets. The beauty of both is that you can really connect with the yarn and the pattern for the project, and the end result is truly a personalized labor of love. The meditative act of stitching in repetition is one that tends to be very relaxing and mentally stimulating, too....

Nabeyaki Udon (鍋焼きうどん) is a hot udon noodle soup traditionally served in individual donabe (earthenware pot) or iron pots. Besides udon noodles, the soup usually includes chicken, kamaboko (fish cake), mushrooms, and vegetables such as spinach, long green onion (Negi), and carrots. In addition, an egg and a large shrimp tempura is served on top. The literal translation for nabeyaki udon is, you’ve guessed it, “cook in hotpot udon”. This nabeyaki udon recipe (especially with step-by-step pictures) might seem long, and to be honest, it took quite a while for us to shoot the video....

Preparation Releasing your sorest, achiest spots isn’t simply about stretching your muscles. In fact, it may not be about that at all. Experts say that understanding fascia, the layers of collagen‐based connective tissue weaving through your body, could be the key to untangling tightness. Fascia is separated by a slippery lubricant called hyaluronan, which allows the tissue and its neighboring muscles to glide over one another. When the hyaluronan becomes dehydrated-a result of limited physical activity and chronic conditions like arthritis-it can turn sticky, and tightness will ensue....
