Learn how to reduce food waste<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s really no excuse for food waste. On\u00a0Save the Food<\/a>\u00a0you can find\u00a0recipes to cook with your leftover scraps<\/a>\u00a0and food that\u2019s \u201cpast its prime\u201d. You can\u00a0build a meal prep plan<\/a>\u00a0and create a shopping list based on the people in your household and how many days you are cooking for. They even have a\u00a0storage guide<\/a>\u00a0with all the tips and tricks you need to keep your food fresh. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Following the unexpected<\/strong>
\nI like to follow people who consistently surprise me. Tyler Cowen\u2019s blog\u00a0Marginal Revolutions\u00a0<\/a>is a prime source of the unexpected. He collects surprisingly interesting papers and posts he unearths from different corners, plus trivial oddities, and profoundly insightful essays, and all of it thought provoking. He posts at least a handful of items per day. (I follow his blog via my RSS reader.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Perfect Blue<\/strong>
\nMy family watches an awful lot of anime. We also like horror and thriller movies, so we enjoyed\u00a0Perfect Blue<\/em><\/a>, a violent, disturbing, R-rated psychological thriller from 1997 about a former pop idol who loses her ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. If you like the films of Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan<\/em>) you\u2019ll like\u00a0Perfect Blue<\/em>, because Aronofsky is a fan of the anime and even\u00a0recreated a scene from it<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Requiem for a Dream.\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Interactive soundscapes<\/strong>
\nHere is another free ambient sound website to add to our ever-growing list of musical streams we enjoy \u2014\u00a0myNoise.net<\/a>. There are hundreds of different noise generators available for free listening that you can adjust to your sound comfort level. What I really like about myNoise is that once I calibrate the soundscape to my liking I can create a custom URL that I can save and go back to, like this \u201cChapel Voices<\/a>\u201d mix. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

How to roast any vegetable<\/strong>
\nAlmost any vegetable you can think of tastes better roasted, and\u00a0this article<\/a>\u00a0by Emma Christensen, shows you how to do it. The key is cutting the vegetable into bite-size pieces to increase the surface-area-to-volume ratio, using enough oil, and spacing out the pieces in the roasting pan. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

The value of goofing off<\/strong>
\nThe premise of this book,\u00a0Time Off<\/a>, is that you can\u2019t maintain a great work ethic without having a great \u201crest ethic\u201d. You have to take time off, vacation, go on sabbatical, pause, rest, sleep, slack, play, and goof off in order to be and do your best. I\u2019ve long been a champion of slack time and mandatory time off, and I am delighted all the arguments and evidence for this take are presented in this hefty book. Includes examples of very productive people, and the latest scientific evidence. Time off is not only essential to a good life, it is something you can get better at. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
