I have two of these wooden crates, in roughly the same shape as this one. Do you guys have tips for cleaning/making suitable for indoor use?

There will always be at least one person who sighs loudly when they see your name in their inbox, and I think that's beautiful.
There is someone in accounts payable who, judging by her terse replies, absolutely hates me. On the one hand, I am sorry she has to deal with my dumb ass, but on the other, it is very, very funny.

I know sometimes people are like, "How could men not know this?" but it honestly wouldn't have occurred to me to mention it back then--it was just the background radiation of being a girl.
In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

This week's Tasting History is the first one I've made before: Indian Pudding, which I made because I remembered my mom making it, and now I am wondering how my French Canadian mom got such an old New England recipe--maybe from my dad's aunt who was a professional cook.

One year in, sea creatures have turned the Seaport's 'living seawall' into a home
The goal is to mimic the natural features of the shorelines — enough to attract some sea creatures to make the wall their new home. So far, it's working.

Of course he'll keep teaching--how else would he continue to find young women to prey on?
Summers tells The Crimson he’s stepping back from public appearances, but will keep teaching. Apologized for “misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein”—but apparently not for his behavior revealed in those exchanges.
