You’re feeling cocky after the Friday puzzle, aren’t you? Well, today you’re on Sam Ezersky’s turf.

I stopped listening to music on the radio.

I run WNYC and WQXR

Pani Puri: A Dribbly, Joyful Mess

This Indian street food represents the loud, happy chaos of my culture.

I would have to search for the ingredients.
It sounds like a happy occasion.

Grapes, Sour or Sweet, Are Ripe for Dessert

The complex fruitiness of grapes enhances recipes both savory (flatbread with grapes, blue cheese, and fresh thyme) and sweet (caramelized grapes with ice cream).

It is grape season here.

Wolf Puppies Are Adorable. Then Comes the Call of the Wild.

No matter how you raise a wolf, you can’t turn it into a dog. To find out why, scientists have to spend a lot of time cuddling and testing puppies.

I do not want a wolf or a dog.
I cannot companion a wolf.
I would not subject a dog to the life I lead.

Winter is coming.

When Whistling Is Not Music to Your Ears

The neighbor whistles, and a reader wonders how to make him stop.

Noise canceling headphones should be tried before assassination.

A choice of neighbors is limited.

Moving is also an option.

Earthquakes! Fires! Shootings! Storms! How Tech Can Help Ease ‘Disaster Fatigue’

Experts say there are steps you can take to help fight the sadness and anxiety that a stream of bad news may be causing.

"Practice Self-Care
The half-dozen doctors and mental health experts I talked with for this article all emphasized the importance of self care over the latest news updates. “Self care implies that I cannot absorb all of the horrible things happening in this world 24 hours a day,” says Dr. McNaughton-Cassill. “I have to find a way to step back. I can’t watch the news because I care too much, and I can’t see any way to fix it right now.”
In addition to exercise, sleep, eating well and making time for friends and family, “I would think about meditation apps too,” Dr. Mangurian suggests (see our guide on “Choosing a Meditation App”). “Taking time out to breathe is important. Taking time for yourself is important. We feel during difficult times that we can’t take time for yourself — but we must so we can care for others.”"

Kitchen of the Future: Smart and Fast but Not Much Fun

At the Smart Kitchen Summit in Seattle, they talked of appliances that plan, shop, advise — and leave little room for the joy of cooking.

Shopping and cooking prevents attending to the news.

I see no point in self torture.

I can go out if there is no time to cook.

Advice From the Rear-View Mirror

“We both lost our spouses but we found each other,” Ms. Allen told an inquiring New York City cabby. The driver knew the road they should take.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

What should you do when different pay raise procedures seem to favor men in the office?

Good advice.
