Cold, dark winter days ahead, this list will give you some excellent ways to pass the time (if you’ve followed my recommendation some weeks back and are already addicted to Serial, you can skip to #2 right away).

If you have children – or never quite stopped being one yourself – you’ll love this Guardian series.

Ok, after reading this text, everyone will use the same politeness trick in their next smalltalk. It’s a really good one, nobody will get hurt, so why not share it with everyone.

For once, not a recommendation to read or watch something, but to actually do something. One of the lesser know gems of the New York Times is its cooking site.

I also recommend subscribing to the site’s newsletter: It gives you an inspiration for your dinner every afternoon. Happy cooking.
