If there are certain sounds that trigger an extremely negative reaction in your, from rage or annoyance to disgust or even panic, you might have a condition calledmisophonia. The triggering sounds can vary from person to person, including slurping, swallowing, breathing, lip-smacking, sniffling, or even the clicking of pens, the rustling of papers, or the ticking of a clock. But whatever the offending sound is for a particular person, it tends to evoke a strong emotional reaction, one that is disproportionate to the offending sound, and can include bodily reactions, such as an increase in heart rate or blood pressure....

This grilled sandwich is such a project. Truthfully, I always kick off grilling season by cleaning my grill, which I hate. Again, this sandwich fits the bill. I originally saw this genre of sandwich on Instagram, and I was immediately intrigued. The whole thing is then cooked, sausage side down, either in a pan or on the grill. Im unclear on why, however.) Choripan are also closed, whereas this thing is open-faced....

The filling takes all of two steps to make, and the flavor is incredible. This is all it takes to make me happy. You dont have to make a pudding that could easily become lumpy with overcooked eggs or pasty with cornstarch. The crust is open to interpretation. Do not mistake this as a health food. Its just good food. This filling sets in the fridge, so theres no oven time once the crust is filled....

Road trip season is approaching. Do you know what youre going to eat? But if you really want some good, cheap, healthy food, stop at a grocery store. Grocery stores are excellent when youre on the road. Theyre also a good spot to stop when you need a break from the highway. Some chains are more full-featured, others more bare-bones. Fresh fruit travels well and can help to balance out the more processed stuff you might end up eating....

In other words, if you want to be a fat smoker, youd better have atonof friends. Not only is friendlessness leading to adverse health condition, its turning us into loners and weirdoes. Why are we so lonely? The surgeon generals report paints a dark picture of an increasingly isolated populace. In 2018, just 16% of Americans said they felt very attached to their local community. In 2003, the average amount of time spent with friends socially was around 60 minutes a day....

I learned to make cheese under the tutelage of two women on a farm in New Zealand. As if to explain his largesse, the cheesemaker noted we throw him a lot of curd. I do not have a duck watchman, but I do have a cheese cave. Theyre not hard to make, you just need to find the parts. A cave maintains a specific temperature and humidity. Youll need space in your cave; you want room for air to circulate around your cheese....

It also means uncivilized, uncouth, barbarous and savage. During this time, Sarah gave birth to two children, though both died as babies. Sarah had a condition called steatopygia, which leads to substantial collection of fat in the buttocks and thighs. She also had an elongated inner labia causing the skin of her genitalia to hang down below her vulva. Her appearance was typical for Khosian women but it was a rare and erotic projection for Europeans....

For three years in the mid-1760s, inhabitants of Gevaudan in Southern France were terrorized by a mysterious beast. Victims were found with their throats ripped and their bodies lacerated. Judging from the ferocity of the attacks, the killer was thought to be a huge animal. Some thought it was a wolf or a hyena. Others believed it was something more sinister and supernatural. The Beast of Gevaudan. However, the bulls she was herding, protected her by charging at the beast and driving it off....

A good sauce doesnt have to be loaded with milk, cheese, and butter. The wonderful thing about plants and plant-based ingredients is how flexible they can be. While you might buy vegan sauces, making your own doesnt have to be complicated. I say sometimes because either the binder or liquid can also double as the main flavor. To complete your saucy assignment, youll need a blender you’re able to trust....

But a recent discovery revealed to me another way to elevate your pizza to absurdly cheesy levels. Yes, its time to add a giant frico crisp to the underside of your pizza. Fricois a simple, ingenious snack made from cheese. When it cools, it hardens into a crisp. Cooking a crunchy layer of frico onto the chewy bottom of pizza is a natural progression. Attaching a layer of crisp cheese to a pizza should be much harder than it is....

Amazons Prime Video is known to have some of the deepest pockets in the streaming biz, having recently spent more than $140 millionon Daisy Jones & the Six, $175 millionon The Peripheral, and $465 millionon The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. But even Rich Uncle Pennybags needs to skip a turn once in a while, which may be why theres very little new to write about on the streamer this month....

Cookies are the perfect treat, and each one is valuable to society. And yet, Ive recently unwittingly stumbled upon an outstanding way to improve almost any cookie. To experience an otherworldly crunch phenomenon, simply wrap your drop cookies in phyllo dough. The fat helps the wispy layers toast, and they crisp up into the most exquisitely flaky texture. Usually the flimsy dough is filled to create an impressive dish, whether savory or sweet....

Last Wednesday, I was trudging up a hill barely able to breathe. (In hindsight: probably all four.) And her taste in music. And I was wearing the wrong socks. And my shins hurt. I was reminded of our own Meghan Walberts experience as a beginning runner, which she chronicledhere. She, too, had a disastrous first run, one that almost put her off from continuing. But heres the thing: Ive been here before....
