Recipe titles: Does a recipe by any other name taste as good?

By Kelsi | July 16, 2014

The title of a recipe gives the first impression of the dish and the author. Recipe titles are printed in special, large type, memorable as the official label. The title can be simply a word, “Oatmeal,” a more elaborate phrase, “Bountiful Blueberry Pie with Spiced Whipped Cream,” or almost a paragraph, a format more typical of earlier recipe titles. One from 1608: “To Make a Walnut, That When you Cracke It, You Shall Find Biskets, and Carrawayes in It, Or a Prettie Posey Written.”

When Life Gives You Lemons: The truth about being 20-something and in a relationship

By Brittany Bowen | July 15, 2014

Because, let's be honest, 99.999% of relationships aren't rainbows and butterflies all the time. We deal with real life s***. We get irrationally angry, overly upset and make stupid decisions. We're 20-something and that's what we do. We're still emotional wrecks; we still haven't figured out what we want, and we don't yet know exactly what we need. We are working on it, but in the interim we should stop believing that the "right" relationship will be perfect. It won't be.
