Join the #CC_DIYChallenge and show your inner artist! One of the biggest challenges we face as creators is figuring out how to start our project. Things like coming up with ideas or deciding on one can be troublesome, but they are never as frightening as a blank slate. After revisiting my journey as a creator, I realized that taking a different approach to starting a project can make it less frightening – and that’s how this article was born.

One of my favourite meals to enjoy as a fam during the winter is hot pot—an interactive dining experience where everyone gathers around a simmering pot (or two) of flavourful broth. The table features an abundance of quick-cooking ingredients such as thinly sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, and starches. These ingredients are then dunked into the bubbling broth using a slotted ladle and served with rice, alongside each person’s unique concoction of dipping sauce.

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is what are the best neighborhoods to base oneself during a trip to Rome. I’ve written a bit about this topic for mainstream publications, but here I want to delve deeper into the nuances, cover some of the city’s micro-neighborhoods, and feature some of the more off-the-beaten path quartieri that don’t necessarily get featured in guidebooks or magazines but are still worth exploring.

(FNC Entertainment) Like Australia and the United States, there is a surprising number of Canadians who end up in the Korean entertainment scene. Kevin and Jacob from The Boyz, Henry Lau, Somi, Tablo from Epik High, Wendy from Red Velvet and Mark Lee from NCT are just some of them! So imagine my excitement when I discovered yet another Canadian K-pop idol fairly recently. Keeho from P1Harmony grew up in Markham, not far from my native Scarborough.

Some of the oldest-known card games are trick-taking games. What’s a trick? I’m glad you asked. We’ll get to that. But before we do, I’ve put together this guide for myself more than anything, and I hope it’s useful and interesting for you, too. I know you might be here for some recommendations, but I’ve got some background that might be helpful. It was helpful for me to write it out.

Hi, MFA members. I have seen the question time and time again in Simple Questions: "What is the best color of Allbirds?", "What are MFA's opinions on Allbirds?", "Are Allbirds fashionable?" Well, fear not, because I am here to tell you that you actually don't need to get Allbirds at all. The truth is that Allbirds are bland and don't fit any aesthetic as well as another sneaker would. While they are simple and versatile, they are sort of in an uncanny valley of minimal shoes, and there are many other sneakers that can take their place.

Welcome to another installment of the Animation Obsessive newsletter! Thanks for joining us.

Hello! This is Everything Is Amazing, a newsletter about curiosity, science, attention, wonder, and how to climb out of your Chasm of Ughh. And thanks to a mysterious deluge of new readers over the last week, there are now over 8,800 of us! That’s both delightful, for which I’m very grateful - and terrifying, for which I’m, well, terrified. If I was trying to address you all in one big room, can you imagine how loud the heckling would be?

While I write about drinks and I spend a lot of days and nights in bars, my only tenure actually working in a bar was over a string of endless summers from 1988 through 1991 at Harpoon Eddie’s, a seasonal Central New York beach bar located on the eastern shore of Oneida Lake in Syl… ncG1vNJzZmiaopaxtbTOppisqJGnwLC60meqrpqjqa6kt42cpqZnoGSubrTAq6eop55isqWwyJ6qZqCforKku8yipaA%3D
