These stainless steel, leak-proof containers are ideal for shaking the ingredients up. Otherwise, Mason jars will work just as well. Shop at Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Just take extra care when shaking glass. One of my favorite cucumber recipes incorporates chili crisp, and Fly By Jing’s Sichuan chili crisp always delivers the perfect kick—from $10…
Because all crib mattress components are not typically disclosed, Consumer Reports reached out to all companies to ask them to share all of their mattress materials, including flame retardants, adhesives, and waterproofing. We also followed up with companies using materials that are linked to environmental or human health concerns, asking them to comment on why…
However, as shooter veterans know, playing with a keyboard and mouse provides a considerable advantage in terms of aiming. So if you’re on a console, you can choose to turn off crossplay and stick to players on your own platform. PC players, on the other hand, are stuck with the feature turned on, so just…

Reading before bed is a great way to relax. But getting the right balance of light can be tricky. We want to illuminate the text without disturbing sleeping partners, kids, or roommates. Warm light that is not too bright is also better to help you feel drowsy. Special reading lights may be the answer. They…
Most people think I bike with my kids because I like exercise or because I want to combat climate change. Neither is true (or, the entire answer, at any rate). No, it’s just that sitting in pickup or drop-off lines in a car makes me want to yeet myself straight into the path of an…
