I have many memories of my mom handing me a box grater and a brick of cheddar. More than once, I tried thewrongside. The other sides make sense. There’s a large grate, small shred, and thin slices. Whats up with that fourth side? What is the fourth side of a box grater intended for? The fourth side is supposed to be for zesting, or finely grating a given ingredient. If youve ever tried to zest a lemon on that side, you already know that does not happen....

What makes this live-action/animated hybrid so endearing is that the titular character is real but doesn’t threaten anyone. (Well, anyone except those who mean to harm the orphan Pete.) The film doesn’t water down the morality ingrained in Schultz’sPeanutscomic strip. The duo are eventually rescued and eventually compete in a horse race.

Few comforts hit the spot like a warm, freshly baked cookie. The rest of the dough becomes what I call “emergency cookies.” The cookie dough bakes like it hasnt aged a day. I ate a whole batch of emergency peanut butter cookies last week (guess why! ), from dough I made in June. They puffed, they browned, I ate; they got the job done. Most cookies made with butter, sugar, and eggs are good candidates for shaping and freezing raw....

Ive never been much of a fan of the Magic Mouse, because I need mydedicated right-click button. But I acknowledge the versatility that comes from combining a touchpad with a mouse. Unfortunately, even my less Windows-poisoned colleagues hate this thing. Thats because its impossible to use the Magic Mouse and charge it at the same time. It wasnt exactly a surprise.
