My family started something called the Good Times Jar\u2014every week each family member adds a note about something good that happened that week. It could be anything, but it needs to be detailed, so that at the end of 2024, we can read them aloud and savor the small wins and pleasures from the past year. We keep the jar on our kitchen counter, with a notepad and pen nearby. Every time I see it as I\u2019m rushing by, I\u2019m reminded to slow down the blur and take in the moments.<\/p>\n

Speaking of good times and minor wins that add up over time, here are a couple from our HQ in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We\u2019ve been zhuzhing the space over the past few months, sometimes with fresh flowers, sometimes with a little styling. The other week, I came in to find that our printer area had been Food52\u2019d. Even something as unlovely as a printer area can feel cozy and like home.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hiring Test Kitchen cooks! You already know C\u00e9sar, Nea, and Anna\u2014now we\u2019re looking for talented recipe developers and video creators to join their team. If you know anyone great, please send them our way!<\/a><\/p>\n
