Americans are tipping at food trucks less, and the rules were never clear to begin with (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Standing at a food truck window while the tablet screen swings around, tip percentages glowing, is one of the moments many Americans donât quite know how to handle. Many food trucks prepare meals to order in tight quarters, but the tipping norms that loosely govern sit-down restaurants and fast food counters have never clearly applied here. That uncertainty makes the order feel awkward, and it plays out differently at each stop. Food trucks can look like counter service from the outside, with
Cuffing season earned its dictionary entry, and the best first date literally costs nothing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Merriam-Webster officially added âcuffing seasonâ to the dictionary last month, finally giving the annual autumn search for connection some real legitimacy. Singles will spend the next few months looking for someone to see the season through with, and many will default to dinner for that first date. However, data points to the walking date and the interpersonal science behind it as a great way to make those all-important connections. Hinge tracks cuffing season messaging behavior across the
Halloween decorating has outpaced costume buying, and new data shows the shopping season now stretches into July (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The window Americans spend decorating for Halloween starts earlier and earlier every year, and this season the data confirms it has become a full retail season in its own right.

These 13 casserole dishes give that same put-it-in-the-oven convenience with beef, chicken, pasta, shrimp, potatoes, and plenty of cheese in the mix. Several use familiar pantry shortcuts, while others lean on skillet fillings or layered bakes that come together in one dish. The result is a lineup with enough variety to make another freezer pizza feel less automatic. A layered Bisquick base gives Beefy John Way
The cookie upgrade everyone is trying, and barely anyone is getting right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adding brown butter has become a popular cookie technique among home bakers, and the batches that come out often look nothing like the photos. Many recipes explain the flavor payoff but leave out that browning butter also changes how the dough behaves in the oven. That missing information is why most cookies fail, and the science behind it is exactly what many recipes skip. Home baking has grown steadily over the past several years, and with it has come a wave of technique-driven content promisi
