The chicken casserole starts with pre-cooked chicken. Since this recipe is from the “Luscious Leftovers” section of the cook book, feel free to use leftover boiled chicken breasts or purchased rotisserie chicken. To the chopped chicken, deBoschnek adds sliced celery, which she says “gives better crunch” than finely chopped celery. For added crunch, slivered almonds are added to the casserole mixture. In addition to some salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is added as a flavor enhancer....

This makes a whole lot of sense; car dealerships have a long history of tense, uncomfortable shopping experiences, especially for women and queer people.

And no matter what products you buy or things you do, it’s crucial to remember that self-care is an individualized experience. What benefits you mentally and physically may not be the same for your best friend or colleague or partner....

At Dante, a Manhattan bar that specializes in classic cocktails like Negronis, Linden Pride makes his signature Negroni more gin-forward and drier. That is, he adds more gin than Campari and vermouth, so that not all three alcohols are proportional, as in a classic Negroni. Dante offers 14 types of Negronis, which swap in various bitters, Amari, vermouth, and the base spirit. The most popular riff: A Mezcalito which substitutes mezcal for gin....
