33 Cool Food And Sleep Products
A bottle of truffle seasoning for an instant upgrade on homemade meals that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN.

Whomstsoever thought up a flavor so perfectly sweet, salty, crunchy, and smooth at the same time deserves to only ever get green lights and always have their pillowcase cool.
An affordable brown noise sound machine as a gentler option to white noise — it's a steady, deeper sound that's a little less harsh, and a lot of people swear by it for calmer sleep.

I spent a week making 3-ingredient meals in my air fryer, and I'd cook every delicious dish again
I started by making pork chops. The three ingredients used in this recipe from blogger Chewable Structures were olive oil, seasoning, and pork chops. I couldn't find the specific McCormick spice blend she recommends using, so I made one using a combination of chipotle pepper, roasted garlic, salt, and pepper. I let the chops sit in the olive oil and seasonings for about 15 minutes. I coated each chop in a drizzle of olive oil, then massaged in the seasoning blend. After preheating the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, I put one chop in each basket. I cooked them for 10 minutes on one side, then five on the other. They came out perfectly. I don't often cook pork chops because they tend to easily get dry. So, I couldn't believe how juicy and perfect these chops came out. The olive-oil coat gave these a nice golden crust and the meat maintained its moisture. I would make these air-fryer pork chops for dinner any night of the week. Next, I made butternut squash, which I ate with the chops. I love butternut squash, but roasting it in the oven can heat up my whole house and take a long time. So I tried this easy recipe from food blogger All the Nourishing Things that's paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and Whole30-friendly. First, I peeled, gutted, and chopped my squash into 1/8-inch thick moons. I chopped the fresh rosemary as finely as I could. Next, I combined the squash with olive oil and rosemary. I added some salt and pepper for extra flavor. I placed the prepared squash in a preheated air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway. Butternut is my favorite type of squash — it's so versatile. The squash was tender and well-seasoned. I also think it paired well with the pork chops. Next time, I'll add in some garlic and onion powder and chili flakes for a little kick. Next up were the three-ingredient chicken wings. This recipe from food blogger Smile Sandwich was so easy. First, I sprayed the air-fryer baskets and chicken wings with cooking spray. Next, I placed the wings in the preheated air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, shaking the basket every so often. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of these wings. To make my sauce, I skeptically combined barbecue and Buffalo sauces. I like them separately, but I wasn't sure they'd be good together. Once the wings were cooked through — the less crowded the baskets, the quicker they cook — I coated them in the sauce while they were still hot. The wings had a slightly crispy texture from the air fryer, and the barbecue-Buffalo combination was excellent. It was sweet, tangy, and had a little kick. I was ready to try something sweet, so the next recipe was a Nutella sandwich. Anyone who's a fan of Nutella will enjoy this recipe from blogger Blue Jean Chef. First, butter one side of each of the two pieces of bread. Then, spread a thick layer of Nutella on the other sides and add a layer of sliced banana. Instead of Nutella, I used a hazelnut spread from Whole Foods. Close the sandwich with the butter side on the outside. This came out perfectly toasty. I stuck the sandwich in the preheated air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes on one side, then a couple more on the other. The sandwich was toasty and indulgently gooey on the inside. Definitely eat it with a glass of milk. This bagel recipe was my favorite to make. This bagel recipe from blogger Best Recipe Box blew my mind. I had no idea you could make bagels with just yogurt and flour. First, I combined plain, non-fat Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. I mixed the ingredients until they started to form a ball. Then I lightly floured my cutting board and kneaded the dough with my hands for about 30 seconds. The dough wasn't too sticky. I cut the dough into four parts and added flour to my hands when the dough got too sticky. I rolled each chunk into a ball, then used a floured finger to stick a 1-inch-wide hole into each, giving it a bagel-like shape. Then, I let them rest and rise for 15 minutes. Don't crowd the air-fryer basket. After they rested, I brushed an egg wash over the bagels and sprinkled on my toppings. I used everything seasoning and cinnamon sugar. Then, I placed the bagels in the air-fryer basket, allowing them enough space to rise and spread. I liked that I could top the bagels with whatever I wanted. I sprayed the basket with cooking spray and then cooked the bagels at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. They were golden and ready to be eaten. I will be making these bagels a lot more in the future. These air-fryer bagels were the perfect size and had a soft, moist texture on the inside. They were awesome on their own or with cream cheese, butter, or jam. I will absolutely be making these again. Cooking with puff pastry can be a pain, but not with the air fryer. Working with puff pastry can sometimes be tough. But the air fryer perfectly cooked the pastry evenly, giving it a fluffy, flaky texture that was just what I was craving. Following blogger Cook It Real Good's recipe, I took my defrosted pastry sheet and cut it into rectangles. Then I took a regular-sized hot dog and cut it in half. I rolled the two halves of the hot dog in the pastry and brushed them with an egg wash. Wrapping the hot dogs was my favorite part. I placed the hot dogs in the preheated air fryer at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for about eight minutes, until the puff pastry was golden. These air-fryer hot dogs came out delicious. The combination of slightly sweet puff pastry with the hot dogs made these seem much fancier than if I'd cooked frozen, premade pigs in a blanket. If you love ranch, you'll probably enjoy this chicken recipe. I marinated the chicken for a couple of hours. I couldn't find the Helluva Good! dip the recipe asked for, so I substituted for a different ranch dip, which worked fine. I started by combining the chicken with the ranch dip and letting it soak for a couple of hours. I coated each piece in panko bread crumbs. Next, I coated each chicken strip in panko and placed them in a preheated air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 to 20 minutes. I flipped them halfway. I knew they were done when they were golden brown. The chicken had a great, crunchy coating and was super tender on the inside. I would make this again with thighs and drumsticks, too. Overall, I thought every recipe was worth making again. These recipes were so easy to make and yielded tasty dishes. If I were to make them again, I would simply add some extra seasoning to a few of the dishes, like the squash and chops. I also like how customizable most of these recipes were. For example, instead of using a banana for the Nutella sandwich, you could use strawberries. You can also coat the air-fryer chicken wings in any sauce, whether you want straight Buffalo or a combination.

At 80, he's a legend in plumbing supply circles. But what happens when he retires?
Get Love Letters: The Newsletter A weekly dispatch with all the best relationship content and commentary – plus exclusive content for fans of Love Letters, Dinner With Cupid, weddings, therapy talk, and more. Enter Email Sign Up 'Caino?' said a plumber who, on a recent morning, was being helped by the man himself. 'One of my instructors said, 'If you ever have a question you can't answer, there's a guy in Watertown.'' Advertisement Jim Cain tried to retire once, but the company asked him to come back. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff 'Caino?' said that instructor, Nicholas Nocifora, of Wakefield's 'Caino?' said Drew Pilarski, a 48-year-old colleague. 'A lot of stuff he knows predates the internet. AI has not yet been trained on his brain.' It was about 8:30 on a recent morning — two hours into Cain's shift. He was stationed at his familiar spot behind the counter, a worn brown company baseball cap on his head, self-fashioned fingerless gloves keeping his hands warm. Advertisement Plumbers came and went, enjoying plumbing humor (one knee-slapper involved tank-to-bowl gaskets), and it felt like the setting for a genial sitcom: 'The Office,' maybe, but without the snark. 'I've been doing this for 53 years,' Cain said as he proceeded to unspool a life story that felt almost sepia-toned, though there he was, telling it in real time. Jim Cain helped plumber David Waldron as he looked for a shower diverter at the F.W. Webb plumbing supply store in Watertown. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff That life? It started with a role model — a beloved uncle, a farmer who could fix anything — and moved along to a high school wrestling career, cut short when his family relocated from one small Oklahoma town to another. There was an initial attempt to stay out of the Vietnam War, which eventually led to deployment at Air Force bases in Quy Nhon and Nha Trang, where he repaired helicopter radios. Then came the return from war; a night out drinking beer with buddies that turned into a spontaneous road trip to Boston; a marriage; and, with it, the need for a regular salary. He took a warehouse job delivering bathtubs, sinks, and other bulky items for a Waltham hardware store. He was eventually 'talked into' moving to the plumbing section and later jumped at the chance to take a job at Watertown Supply, which was eventually acquired by F.W. Webb. And, well, here he is, joyfully seeing life through a plumbing-supply guy's eye. 'Every place I go, to a restaurant or wherever, if I go to the bathroom, I'll think, 'Oh, that's a Delta faucet or a Sloan flush valve,'' he said. In a culture that rewards self-promotion and emotionally charged content, Cain is a more old-fashioned influencer. 'TikTok I could care less about,' he said. Advertisement His followers are in the real world, on their backs, in a crawl space, feeling blindly for a slow leak, or squatting to see behind a garbage disposal. Jim Cain arranged copper pipes at the F.W. Webb plumbing supply store in Watertown. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff One of them is Matthew Waller, the owner of Waller bought steam vents from Cain, which solved the heat problem, but not the secondary clanging issue. Soon after, Waller returned to Webb for something else, 'and Caino stopped me outside.' Cain had recalled the existence of a vent made by some obscure company with an aperture that allowed for better air flow and, with it, silence. And it was less expensive. 'He knew there was a fix and no one else would have,' Waller said. But as crucial as plumbing may be, there's more to life. Cain is a husband (for the third time), a dad, a grandfather, a brother, and a man who enjoys a good joke. Taped to the plexiglass shield in front of his workstation (a COVID holdover) is a cartoon from his sister that shows an executioner who's built a bowling alley lane below the guillotine. 'No matter what the job,' the caption reads, 'always try to make it fun.' Jim Cain searched through the hundreds of bins for a faucet part in the supply room at the F.W. Webb plumbing supply store in Watertown. He knows everything about plumbing and will relentlessly find a part for loyal customers. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff On a recent morning, during a brief lull in business, Pilarski — Cain's coworker and enthusiastic publicist — took the opportunity to tell more of his idol's life story. 'Caino once wrestled Advertisement 'Brisco kicked my butt,' Cain said, not unhappily. He pulled up his sweatshirt to display a big belt buckle with an image of two men wrestling. 'A tradition since 1922,' it reads. 'Perry Wrestling.'' So, is he planning on retiring anytime soon? In 2022, Cain missed a few months' work after he passed out while grocery shopping at Market Basket in Billerica and had to have a pacemaker put in. But he couldn't wait to get back. 'I got bored as hell being at home,' he said. Asked what he longed to get back to, he said the people — and the parts. Beth Teitell can be reached at

I tested Yonanas' frozen dessert maker after seeing so many glowing reviews. Here's what I thought
Like the Ninja Creami, the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker is another kitchen appliance you may have seen online. Praised by reviewers for its ability to turn frozen fruit into delicious soft-serve-like treats, this lightweight gadget also comes with a very budget-friendly price tag, and because I'm always up for testing new products, I knew I had to see for myself how the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker managed to rack up more than 3,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker This frozen dessert maker is the perfect way to make good use of your ripe bananas and frozen fruit. Easy to assemble and even easier to use, it's also one of the lightest appliances I own, making it easy to pick up, move around and tuck away on a shelf. It's easy to assemble and disassemble The appliance comprises two main parts: a surprisingly lightweight motor base and a chute that houses the blade cone. Before using it for the first time, you'll want to disassemble the chute so you can wash the individual parts (they're dishwasher-safe), according to the instruction manual that comes with the Yonanas. I chose to handwash the parts and it took me just a few minutes to do this, reassemble the chute, then attach it to the base (it clicks into place). Disassembling the appliance can get a little messy (more on that later), but it's just as simple as assembling it. It's straightforward to use What I appreciate most about the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker is how foolproof and simple it is. There's no control panel to worry about or complicated steps to follow to create a satisfying frozen treat every single time. Since it shaves slightly thawed frozen fruit into soft-serve-like desserts, you'll need to have frozen fruit on hand. You can choose to slice and freeze fruits you have lying around, or you can purchase bags of frozen fruit from the store; I decided to go both routes. The instructions recommend freezing your fruits for 24 hours, but from personal experience you may be able to get away with freezing them overnight, depending on how cold your freezer gets. Before you can start feeding your fruits through the chute, Yonanas recommends letting them defrost for seven to 10 minutes to ensure you get that ideal soft-serve consistency. The first time around, I let my fruits defrost for too long, so my dessert had a consistency similar to traditional soft-serve that's already begun to melt. For that reason, I recommend keeping a close eye on the time so it doesn't turn out too soft. If your recipe calls for bananas, the brand recommends alternating between frozen banana halves and any other fruits you're using. The appliance comes with a pusher that allows you to feed the fruits through the chute, so there's little risk of cutting your hands on the blades. I noticed it takes a minute for it to start dispensing, but as you continue to add fruits, it forces what's already gone through to come out. There are lots of recipes to try The frozen dessert maker comes with a recipe book that includes plenty of fruit sorbet recipes in addition to recipes for other desserts, such as cookies and cream, which you can make by alternating frozen bananas and chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos. The first sorbet I made was a banana and berry cherry one I created using banana halves I'd frozen, plus a bag of frozen berries and cherries from my local grocery store. I used two bananas and 3/4 cup of the berries- and- cherries mix, and I found that this made more than enough sorbet for one person. The result? A refreshing frozen mixture you could easily eat in the morning for breakfast, as a midday snack or as a post-workout treat. Though many recipes include bananas, there are also banana-free recipes you can follow. I'm not a huge fan of bananas myself, so unsurprisingly, my favorite recipe was one I made with strawberries and mangoes. It's worth keeping in mind you'll need to de-pit fruits with pits before using them with the Yonanas. Though I only used fruit in my recipes, as mentioned above, you're also able to use cookies, muffins and ingredients like chocolate bars, peanut butter and avocado slices. It's messy Handling defrosting fruit can get messy, and unfortunately, the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker doesn't come with tongs, so you'll have to use your hands or utilize one of your own kitchen utensils. It also doesn't come with a drip tray. Because fruit bits get left behind in the chute, you'll definitely want to have your sink stopper in place to prevent food waste from going down the drain if your sink doesn't have a garbage disposal. I also couldn't help but notice large pieces of cherry skin throughout my otherwise delicious banana and berry cherry frozen mixture that the blades had missed. Though I expected to come across some fruit skin, I expected those pieces to be smaller and better incorporated into the rest of the mixture than they actually were. I also noticed a decent amount of mixture that needed to be cleaned out of the chute itself, which contributed to the overall messy cleanup process. After each use, I made sure to thoroughly wash the chute, the blade cone and the gasket. If you're going to make two different sorbets consecutively, I suggest quickly disassembling the chute and giving it a quick rinse to avoid any flavor transfer. I'll be the first to admit how disappointing it is when a dessert doesn't come out as expected, which is why I love how easy the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker makes creating frozen treats. Turning fruits into frozen desserts is a creative way to use them before they go bad, not to mention the Yonanas is lightweight and easy to use, providing countless flavor combinations to experiment with. If you're looking for a quick way to make a healthier-for-you treat that also tastes delicious, the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker is definitely worth considering. Can you use frozen fruit in the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker? Can you use frozen fruit in the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker? Yes, frozen fruit needs to be used in the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker. Can the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker make ice cream? Can the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker make ice cream? While the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker can't be used to make traditional ice cream, it can make delicious vegan-friendly desserts using frozen fruit. What's the difference between the Yonanas Soft-Serve Maker and Ninja Creami? What's the difference between the Yonanas Soft-Serve Maker and Ninja Creami? The Ninja Creami can also make fruit sorbets, but you need to add a liquid, like fruit juice, to the container before freezing, while the Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft-Serve Maker requires freezing individual pieces of fruit. Even though both appliances use a blade to create frozen treats, I felt the Ninja Creami produced sorbets that had a smoother consistency than the ones made with the Yonanas, though the desserts are equally as tasty.
