The LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 Makes a Desk Feel Different After Work
A home office has a strange habit of lingering after the workday ends. The laptop may close, notifications may stop, and the room may technically return to being part of the house, but the desk often still looks and feels exactly like work. Lighting has a lot to do with that. The LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 […] The post The LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 Makes a Desk Feel Different After Work appeared first on Grit Daily News.

Sami Tamimi’s recipes for lamb meatballs with spinach and chickpea stew, and red rice
Serve this warm and juicy meatball sabanekh with Iraqi tomato rice for a comforting meal that’s made to be sharedThis is the kind of meal I love for its generosity and simplicity.

Maternity care in the UK is in a doom loop – how has it come to this? | Zoe Williams
Twenty years ago, if a pregnant woman had asked for a C-section because of her fears over poor staffing levels, midwives would have thought she was over-anxious. Now, it seems like a depressingly realist positionThe classic way to outrage someone who’s pregnant is to touch their stomach without asking. I would never do that and it never, back in the day, happened to me – but I always thought, as outrageous as it might hypothetically be, that it also stood as a vivid analogy for the generalised social intrusiveness you get while you’re visibly pregnant. Endless questions about how you’re feeling, when you’re due, what hospital you’re going to, whether it’s a boy or a girl, how much time you have off. I hated this interrogation 20 years ago, but now I do it on a reflex; some driving force of human fellowship makes me want to know. I realised mid-sentence, asking a stranger about hospitals – and replying “That’s a great hospital, my sister had her kids in there” – that it must be even more grating than it was in the 00s. My nieces are 19 and 21 now, and that great hospital, unless it’s magically unconnected to the rest of the NHS, has probably changed quite a lot.The NHS Alliance has announced that up to 20 of the country’s 155 smaller, consultant-led maternity units, mostly in rural or coastal areas, might have to close, since their safety is in question. The problem – which will seem very pressing and obvious to anyone about to give birth, yet quite abstract and manageable to anyone who isn’t – is that those areas aren’t teeming with alternatives. There are women in Devon whose maternity hospital has been temporarily closed, whose next nearest hospital is 53 miles away. Do they even encourage people to write a birthing plan any more? Because nobody’s, surely, would start: “First, I’d like to spend 90 minutes in a car, yelling at my birthing partner.” Continue reading...
Do we really need clothes delivered in under an hour? Target’s Uber Eats deal is convenience culture gone wild | Maggie Zhou
The time lag between ordering a meal and its packaging hitting your rubbish bin is ridiculously brief. Will items bought through this partnership be treated differently?In a move nobody outside of boardrooms asked for, Target has become the first fashion retailer in Australia to make its products available to order via the Uber Eats app as of September. This means that a “curated” selection of 25,000 of Target’s products can arrive at your door in under an hour, thanks to Uber Eats’ “on-demand” delivery.It follows Bunnings’ introduction to the platform in February, and Kmart appears to be following suit with Uber delivery available on some eligible orders. Big W has also joined in on the action, with more than 35,000 Big W “essentials” (their words, not mine) now ready to be delivered to your home in 60 minutes via DoorDash.Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Sunday morning Continue reading...
Gurdeep Loyal’s quick and easy recipe for masala chickpea-parsnip fritters with coconut sambol | Quick and easy
Tasty, spicy fritters to dip into coconut sambol as a snack or treat, or serve with avocado or egg for a more substantial supperThese warmly spiced fritters are inspired by the tikki-chaat carts found all over India, which sizzle fresh chickpea, potato or lentil patties on hot-plates until crisp, then slather them with chutneys. The coconut sambol ushers forth the flavours of south India – coconut, mustard seeds and lime; add a teaspoon of tamarind paste to increase the tartness, if you like. A good dollop of yoghurt is a must, and a fried egg or avocado on the side turns these fritters into a satisfying supper. Continue reading...
Spaghetti with lentils, and aubergine veggie-balls: Jacob Kenedy’s autumn pasta recipes
A deliciously humble lentil and spaghetti dish, and a meat-free riff on meatball pasta made with aubergine veggie-ballsSome plant-based pasta dishes are light, bright and summery – pesto genovese, tomato sauce, aglio e olio – but some have an umami and complexity that is normally associated with more carnal pleasures. Here are two. Pasta with lentils is a firm personal and family favourite – my mum and I make this dish whenever we fancy something really comforting, and the earthiness of the lentils plays against grassy olive oil and parsley, and the texture of the pasta. True cucina povera – a humble meal, and deliciously so. Veggie-balls are also great things. Polpette (normally translated as meatballs) is just balls (of anything pulped), after all. They can be made of white fish, oily fish or vegetables. I particularly love courgette for its bright, green, fresh flavour, and, above all, rich, velvety, chocolatey aubergine. Of course, you can eat them on their own, but I also love them through pasta, as a vegetarian riff on spaghetti and meatballs. Continue reading...

Fake Linda and me: the Agatha Christie-worthy mystery of the fraudster who stole my byline
How a string of bizarre events led writer Linda Geddes to don her sleuthing cap and dig into a world of shadowy impersonatorsIt started with an entirely ordinary interaction on LinkedIn. Someone had tagged me in a post, saying how much they’d enjoyed contributing to a New York Post article I’d written about “chronoworking”. As the author of a book about circadian rhythms, it was exactly the sort of subject I might write about. Except I’d never heard of this person, let alone interviewed them.I clicked on the link and my stomach dropped. There, above an article about people who organise their working lives around their biological clocks, was my name: Linda Geddes. Continue reading...
