16 Easy Recipes for Hungry, Busy People (The New York Times)

[Uncle Lou](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/dining/uncle-lou-review-pete-wells.html), a Cantonese restaurant in New York, inspired this one-pot meal from Yasmin Fahr. Substitute similarly textured vegetables for the broccolini, and add a can of rinsed chickpeas for more oomph if you need it. This smart weeknight chicken dish from Kay Chun makes use of canned green chiles, a multipurpose pantry staple. This recipe was adapted from “The Silver Spoon for Children,” a kids’ cookbook, so you can be sure it’s easy and likely to please even the pickiest of palates. You can use end-of-season ripe tomatoes or the canned sort for this tomato-noodle soup from Jocelyn Ramirez. Kimchi makes a wonderful swap for the ’kraut, and pepperoncini is nice substitution for the jalapeños. For an impossibly tender, savory-sweet salmon, do what Genevieve Ko does: Coat a fillet with a combination of maple syrup, mustard, mayonnaise and cilantro stems, then slide it into the oven. It’s a central ingredient in this surprisingly simple silky tomato sauce from Marcella Hazan. One glance at the comments on this recipe, and you’ll see that the origins of Alfredo sauce are hotly debated, but this version is the most fun: In 1914, Alfredo di Lelio, a restaurant owner in Rome, came up with the recipe for his pregnant wife, Ines, who was experiencing severe nausea and couldn’t keep much down. [Alfredo Sauce](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020965-alfredo-sauce) Leftovers make a great lunch, and it’s lovely served warm or cold. These recipes are blessedly easy, the kind you can cook once or twice, then

The Cost of Driving in Manhattan (The New York Times)

Ginia Bellafante writes the Big City column, a weekly commentary on the politics, culture and life of New York City. Sept. 9, 2022, 5:00 a.m. ...

I listened to the hearings hoping to find some larger justification for my decision to begin driving again, in midlife, as the climate crisis mounts — a decision born largely out of a psychological need to prove that I could conquer a powerful fear and merge my sense of myself as an independent woman, rather than someone who had to ask her husband for a ride to Fairway. One line of opposition is that there are too many places in the city with poor access to public transportation — which, of course, is true — and thus the scheme unfairly punishes those without the good fortune to live in subway-rich neighborhoods. concluded dozens of hours of public hearings in which advocates for pedestrians and alternative modes of transportation, business owners, public officials and many ordinary New Yorkers voiced their opinions for and against the plan at a moment when the pandemic has caused car ownership in the city to jump and traffic fatalities among children to double. Even as these conversations have gone on for years, many of the details have yet to be finalized, including the cost of the toll, which could be as much as $23. Two years ago, state lawmakers passed legislation that would allow the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to charge cars and trucks a fee for the privilege of entering Manhattan below 60th Street. On a cloudless afternoon with little traffic, I drove my son to visit a friend in Duxbury, Mass., a trip of about 60 miles from our starting point in Rhode Island and one that, even though made under the least imaginably stressful conditions, still left me with the vague sense that I was undertaking a risk along the lines of going heli-skiing in Kashmir.

Golf Clubs That Offer More Than Just Playing Golf (The New York Times)

Recently, resorts historically known for golf have started luring visitors and residents with footgolf, glow golf, snowshoeing and other activities.

[Kukui’ula](https://kukuiula.com/), a community in Kauai, Hawaii that offers the sport, is a glow golf regular and said that playing makes him feel like he’s at a party with his friends. [Snake River Sporting Club](https://snakeriversportingclub.com/), in Jackson, Wyo., the woodland-surrounded course becomes a snow-blanketed park for activities such as tubing and sledding, along with cross-country skiing — both classic and skate-style. “Some even hit the course just to pay a visit here.” The Cosmic Crush, a mixture of pineapple, orange and lime juices finished with grenadine and (optional) rum, is the house favorite, Mr. [Reserva Conchal](https://reservaconchal.com/), a 2,300-acre resort with residences and hotels in Guanacaste on Costa Rica’s west coast, began offering glow golf just before the pandemic. The course is walkable and open in the afternoons, said Susan Havens, the director of sales and marketing for Ka’anapali Golf Courses. As the name hints, glow golf is a game on the golf course that’s played after hours. [Abaco Club](https://theabacoclub.com/), in the Bahamas, for example, offers glow golf nights several times a month at its driving range, said James Dunn, the director of member experience. “They’re especially a hit with millennials who have started buying properties in golf communities ever since the beginning of the pandemic.” [Ka’anapali Beach Resort](https://kaanapaliresort.com/), a 1,200-acre property in Maui with condominiums and single-family homes, has a dedicated footgolf course. A recent survey by Golf Life Navigators of 50,000 people who bought homes in golf developments indicated that a club’s activities outside of golf were a primary reason for them to buy in that community. He noted that the move toward different activities is also “tied to the larger trend of nongolfers moving into these communities who are seeking other ways to have fun and interact with family and friends.”

Try Greece When Looking to Pair Golf and Real Estate (The New York Times)

New courses are being built in the country or have recently debuted, while existing ones have seen renovations.

“Glyfada is a very desirable area to live because of the seaside setting and because you get the best of many worlds,” Mr. “It’s a destination that ticks all the boxes of everything you want from a vacation home, with golf as the newest highlight.” “People, mainly Europeans, always bought in Crete because of the scenery and beaches, but the golf is captivating new buyers,” he said. The coastline near the Crete Golf Club is also dotted with single-family homes and apartments. “Most are from Scandinavia, England and Germany.” He said that his sales of properties near the course doubled in total dollars in 2021 from 2020. “It’s incredibly beautiful and definitely the heart of golf and golf homes in Greece,” she said.

'Avatar: The Way of Water': What to Know Before Watching (The New York Times)

It takes place more than a decade after the events of the first film and focuses on Jake Sully and Neytiri and their preteen children. “Avatar” was one of the films that restarted a fad of 3-D cinematic releases, though you may not have actually seen it in 3-D: Many theaters didn’t yet have 3-D projection systems. Jake, in love with Neytiri and having gained the trust of the Na’vi, chooses to transfer to his avatar form permanently. In her review, Dargis also criticized Cameron’s writing, particularly the dialogue, which she noted veered into “comically broad” territory at times (case in point: “Yeah, who’s bad?” Jake taunts a rhinolike creature). The protagonist is Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic ex-Marine who replaces his identical twin brother in the Avatar Program after his death. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), the head of the security force for the group mining the unobtanium, destroys the Na’vi’s gathering place, Hometree, and kills many of them, Jake confronts him in his Na’vi form. [Avatar: The Way of Water](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Gx8wiNbs8),” a roughly three-hour sci-fi epic, is a sequel to his 2009 “Avatar,” which shattered box office records and garnered a devoted fan base. A group of specially trained humans inhabit genetically engineered Na’vi bodies, known as avatars, to interact with the tribe while their human bodies remain in a remote location. Also, a majority of the sequel was filmed underwater, and new motion-capture technology had to be developed to accomplish the feat.

Downsizing in Retirement: Expenses They Didn't Expect (The New York Times)

On the way to spending less, people often have to shell out more, at least temporarily — especially when selling a home. Here's what to consider.

With the proceeds of the house sale, the couple were able to repay the bridge loan for the upfront entrance fee at a retirement community called Timber Ridge at Talus and invest the balance, about $250,000, in U.S. “At the beginning, I had to get used to the fact that the place was so much smaller,” she said. “We had aged past the lifestyle we had in that house.” They were paying extra for the community’s country club that they rarely used, and he no longer wanted to maintain the lawn on his half-acre property. The Boyds sold their house for about $500,000 and bought the new one for $450,000 with cash from the sale’s proceeds. Kiss, who is now the social chairwoman for her floor, recently organized a summer social on the patio with hamburgers, ice cream and “the whole works.” The couple were asking top dollar and figured they would have time to look for a new place before their house sold. On top of that, the money they earned from the sale beyond $500,000 drove up their income-related monthly Medicare premiums for the year. Older homeowners should consult with several real estate agents and appraisers to get a realistic picture of what their house might sell for and what smaller homes might cost. Rising mortgage rates and a declining stock market are making it more difficult for younger home seekers with families to afford the down payment and monthly payments for a large, pricey home, said Kari Haas, a real estate broker in Bellevue who helped the Kisses sell their house. Like the Kisses, Dale and Marian Boyd were in for a surprise when they put their four-bedroom ranch house in Newnan, Ga., up for sale a year ago. Despite the hot Seattle-area housing market, their house did not sell until they spent $20,000 to remove the popcorn ceilings and renovate the kitchen. Louise Angel Kiss and her husband, Charles, lived in their four-bedroom, split-level house in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Wash., for 40 years.

In Rwanda, a New Golf Course in Kigali Is a Sign of Growth (The New York Times)

The Rwandan government is hoping to build a local golf culture and harness the sport to appeal to international tourists and investors.

Everyone that has a view of the golf course is hoping to reap the benefits.” [White Stone Apartments](https://wsapartment.com/), a collection of ultramodern furnished homes available for short-term rental at rates starting at $100 per night, has two locations in Kigali, including one that opened in 2021, just minutes from the golf course.
