10+ Dietitian Favorite Super Bowl Recipes – EatingWell
Just under 100 years ago, two men—one real estate agent and one chef—collaborated on a game-changing idea: cook hamburgers as quickly as possible, and sell them as cheaply as possible. Together, Edgar Waldo “Billy” Ingram and Walter Anderson opened the first White Castle restaurant in 1926, in Wichita, KS, and started selling square burgers for just five cents each. Back then, the pair couldn’t have imagined what their idea would pave the way for: a booming fast-food industry, that, in collective burger sales alone, made more than $92 billion in 2021.
Anderson’s first bu…….
Something to note about me is that I love football. Growing up, I would join my parents and brothers on the couch every Sunday to make sure we were caught up on all of the action. Additionally, going to Michigan State University (go green!) and experiencing tailgate culture at its finest further solidified my appreciation of the sport. All this is to say that when the Super Bowl comes around, I’m ready—and more specifically, I’m usually hosting. When I look for a recipe to make at my party, I want it to be impressive yet simple to make. I want it to include classic favorites but still pac…….
French fries transcend fashion. Food trends come and go but chips persist as a source of comforting joy, something we all badly need this winter. For many, that will mean sun-gold chips doused in salt and vinegar, ketchup or mayo. But why stop there?
With budgets tight, loaded fries are currently enjoying a bounce as a relatively affordable, filling treat. Last year, Burger King introduced jazzed-up fries (topped with cheese sauce and/or bacon bits), as did several big-name pub chains. In that same period pub chip sales were up 15%, according to…….
CIRP highlights that Apple’s MacBooks are the primary driver of its computer business. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro make up roughly three-quarters of the company’s PC sales while the desktop models only account for 26%.
Apple’s most popular Mac
When it comes to what’s most popular between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, you might guess it’s the more affordable Air. But as it turns out, MacBook Pro is the leader accounting for 54% of Apple’s laptop sales which also makes it the most popular Mac overall.
For desktop Macs, iMac…….

Sometimes old habits, and old hardware, stick around for a lot longer than you might expect.
Take the keyboard and screen of the average laptop (just like the one I’m typing on now), which still mimic the layout of a far older piece of technology — the typewriter and the paper that emerges from it.

Certainly when display technologies were more basic there was a reason to stick to that basic format. But laptops don’t have the same mechanical limitations as typewriters, and advances in screen tec…….
Sabnis imagined fans at “every concert, [they] scan the QR code, it acts as a wallet, NFT drops are there, there’s a chance for seat upgrades.” These wallets could sync with where you are in a venue in real time and expand the experience with augmented reality, for example. In the end, whether it’s Web2 or Web3, Sabnis concluded that “entertaining things are the things that matter most in people’s lives.”

Metaverse. Metaverse. Metaverse.
It seems like half of the companies at CES this year were all glomming onto the buzzword that is Metaverse. And along with the metaverse, virtual reality was all the rage at CES this year too. There were countless prototypes for wearables that latch onto your face and immerse you into virtual worlds where you can see, feel, and in some cases even smell your cyber surroundings.
While the Metaverse was being presented as the next big thing in tech at CES, yet another virtual reality technology at the show seemed like the real revolutionary immers…….
Last spring, Anthony Tabarez celebrated prom like many of today’s high schoolers: dancing the night away and capturing it through photos and videos. The snapshots show Mr. Tabarez, 18, and his friends grinning, jumping around and waving their arms from a crowded dance floor.
But instead of using his smartphone, Mr. Tabarez documented prom night with an Olympus FE-230, a 7.1-megapixel, silver digital camera made in 2007 and previously owned by his mother. During his senior year of high school, cameras like it started appearing i…….

Shortly after publishing my book The Better Angels of Our Nature, on the historical decline of violence, I attended a conference sponsored by a foreign policy magazine at which a journalist asked me: “What would it take to eliminate extreme poverty worldwide?” Thinking it was a trick question, I quipped: “Redefine ‘poverty’.” An eavesdropping economist said to me: “That was a cynical answer”, and recommended a short new book by the development expert Charles Kenny called Getting Better.

THE WANDERING MIND: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction, by Jamie Kreiner
Among the resources that have been plundered by modern technology, the ruins of our attention have commanded a lot of attention. We can’t focus anymore. Getting any “deep work” done requires formidable willpower or a broken modem. Reading has degenerated into skimming and scrolling. The only real way out is to adopt a meditation practice and cultivate a monkish existence.
But in actual historical fact, a lif…….
