Food Scoop: Lentil soup

By Anna Hinkley · Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014

It’s been above freezing for a couple days, but it’s still January in Michigan. Winter is the time of year to trot out hot, filling dishes – the kind of dish that does more than fill your tummy. Winter is the time for convivial foods that leave you with a sense of comfort and happiness. For me, the perfect food for that is soup. What’s been on my stove these past couple days is a wonderfully thick rice and lentil soup.

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014

For a huge part of 2013, HAIM’s “The Wire” was my favorite song of the year. Then, in December, I discovered a gem from earlier in the year that took its spot. Unlike last year, where “Call Me Maybe” was my favorite song throughout the entire year, this year surprised me at the last minute. So, here are my top 10 songs of the year.

Katie's Craft Corner: Sewing

By Katie Remski · Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014

There’s been a huge craft movement in the past 10 years. Generations that wouldn’t be caught dead with a knitting needle have children cranking out scarves with a kit available at Toys R Us. Sewing’s become a legitimate art form and specialty crafts like soap making are having a moment. Unfortunately, there are still some skills that aren’t mainstream, and one of them is embroidery.

Food Scoop: Lemon Pound Cake

By Anna Hinkley · Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014

I used to have all sorts of trouble when I tried to bake a cake. It would sound so easy – go to the grocery store, buy whichever flavor of cake mix sounded appealing, mix in two eggs, stir in some oil and bake. Yet every time I attempted to make cake from a mix, I managed to screw it up in inexplicable ways, the cake sank or the cupcakes refused to separate from their wrappers.

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014

As far as the consensus goes, 2013’s album of the year seems to be a toss-up between Kanye West’s “Yeezus” and Vampire Weekend’s “Modern Vampires of the City.” A college dropout against a group of Ivy Leaguers.
