Finding the perfect gift can be daunting. The only way to truly ensure you get it right would be to ask the recipient what they want, but that wouldn’t be much fun for either of you.
Luckily, there’s another tactic to help you earn a “gift whisperer” reputation: seeking out unique, practical, game-changing gifts that will truly surprise and delight.

More of a thrash-and-burn schlock epic than the comparatively restrained 2000 “Gladiator,” also directed by Ridley Scott, the new one recycles a fair bit of the old one’s narrative cries for freedom while tossing in some digital sharks for the flooded Colosseum and a bout of deadly sea-battle theatrics.
With Thanksgiving and the holiday feasting season on the horizon, you may have already made a few grocery runs to pick up the basics for your cooking spree. But there’s still time to pick up the perfect beer pairings for your seasonal feast.

This flavor-packed sweet potato dish is for those who like to veer from the traditionalThanksgiving dishes and leave a lasting impression. Sweet potatoes coated with tahini,cumin and lemon adorn a billowy bed of Greek yogurt and feta. Studded with crimson pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs, it’s a colorful, flavorful winner.
Whether served as a side for a holiday meal or as a satisfying main for a vegetarian feast, this easy dish is one that will be remembered.
I like to use a variety of sweet potatoes — yams, Japanese sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes — to showcase different colors and textures.
