I think so many of us use cookbooks as a purely utilitarian piece of media — and, to be fair, they are a great tool — but their science and artistry should also be appreciated.

If you were recently gifted a cookbook, I implore you to read it cover to cover (like a novel). Not only are the narrative portions often spectacularly interesting, but you really learn a thing or two about a dish’s origin and why certain ingredients work well together.

As an avid roadtripper, I’m lowkey a Cracker Barrel fan. It was great to write a story all about the chain’s gift shop!

If there’s one thing keeping the local economy booming, it’s the dogs who show up day in and day out and put in four elbows (knees?) worth of grease.

One of my favorite things about the Milwaukee Art Museum is going on a little scavenger hunt to find the artwork that’s printed on your ticket.
A hand holds a ticket to the Milwaukee Art Museum printed with the seventeenth-century painting Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb by Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán in front of the actual painting of Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb.
