At that time, a cranberry grower in New Jersey named Elizabeth Lee was also boiling her berries to make a jelly-like sauce. Lee and Urann combined efforts to perfect the recipe, and the sauce became a holiday staple during the early 1940s. Ingredients Cranberries get their tartness from the high acid concentration....

How Much Turkey Per Person Do You Need? As a general rule, calculate 1 to 1½ pounds of turkey per person. You might be thinking there is no way one person can eat that much turkey, especially when Thanksgiving sides aplenty are served. But keep in mind this is not counting just the weight of meat, this is also considering bone and cartilage, which is of course a package deal. While calculating 1 pound of turkey per person leans on the safe side, accounting for 1½ pounds of turkey per person guarantees leftovers to enjoy post-holiday, and who doesn’t love that?...

We clearly live in an era of hyperconnectivity when entire TV series are available at once on streaming services, and burning questions are resolved in seconds via a search engine. According to a 2012 report by the Pew Research Center, hyperconnectivity’s negative effects include “a need for instant gratification and a loss of patience.” Another 2012 study conducted by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst found that roughly a quarter of Internet users abandon an online video if it takes more than five seconds to load, and half jump ship after 10 seconds....

Reader question: “What is the best way to hide under-eye bags?” —@bajash“Under-eye bags, help!!!” —@krebsseven“Born with under-eye bags and nothing seems to help. Anything you’d recommend?” —@elissagrace1 Considering that the skin under your eyes is ten times thinner than any other skin on your body, it’s kind of ironic that it often looks the thickest (read: puffiest). Alas, the most visible area of our face is the place that’s plagued with the most puffiness, and even the best concealer in the world can only do so much against swollen half-moons....

Finding the best ways to save money is important, but it doesn’t erase the fact that the cost of living in many places is quickly outpacing (or has already outpaced) minimum wage and median pay. When you’re not making a living wage, it’s difficult to afford the essentials, and no amount of penny-pinching can change that completely. The same is true if you’ve recently been laid off or furloughed because of the coronavirus crisis: When larger forces drastically decrease your income, major shifts—such as seeking unemployment benefits, forbearance, and leniency from lenders—are necessary....

A poster in Reddit’s cooking forum tells an all-too-familiar tale. She makes lentil soup in her Instant Pot, and despite following the directions to a T, ends up with a watery, thin finished product. Her solution? Add plain instant mashed potatoes (which are essentially just dehydrated potatoes) to the finished soup recipe as a thickening agent. Simple? Yes. Incredibly effective? You bet. This trick works because the instant mashed potatoes are naturally starchy and therefore are similar in form to other commonly used thickeners, such as cornstarch, only without the clumps....

You know you should keep a budget, track your spending, and only splurge on that vacation or night out after you’ve saved enough to pay for it. But in reality, most of us stick that purchase on a credit card and worry about paying for it later. The key is to determine whether a splurge is a conscious decision that’s worth it in the long run or is simply a sign of lifestyle creep—slow, damaging, long-term living beyond your means....
