Just Plain Selfish: Taking Inventory in 2020
 By Kris Walker
As we approach the final quarter of this year I encourage you to take a moment and take inventory. For most of us money, food, property and even family may have just come to mind as we begin to account for our belongings. Certainly those are all vital, but most important are those personal items that each person carries within themselves.

Making a good thing better: These sloppy Joes will appeal to kids and adults alike
 By America’s Test Kitchen
It’s easy to understand why sloppy Joes are a beloved family favorite. The filling couldn’t be easier to make, and it goes from skillet to table in less than 30 minutes. But there’s also room for improvement - such as the often dry meat, too-sweet sauce and the filling that falls off the bun - that if perfected, would make it more appealing to kids and adults alike.
