    The One Question Giada Is So Sick of Answering
    We all get those questions. You know the ones I’m talking about — the ones you have to take a deep breath before answering. Maybe it’s your boss asking if you’re busy (no, I’m just sitting here waiting for you to give me something to do), or your dad asking if you’re ever going to get a real job (are you ever you going to figure out how to use Instagram, Dad?). For Giada De Laurentiis that question has everything to do with her looks.

In fact, this unusual wine is perfect for dealing with that awkward phase in between seasons. You know what I’m talking about: It’s not rosé-all-day season anymore, but you’re not yet at the ‘let me pile on the sweaters, and sit by a fire with a hot toddy,’ stage.

    Apple cider doughnuts, hard cider, pumpkin spice everything — the arrival of these beloved things at shops, cafes, and farmers market stands sweetly whisper fall is coming. Candy corn popcorn? Ahh … we’re not sure we’re ready to add that one to the list. The fall-themed snack was recently spotted at a Trader Joe’s store in Elk Grove, California, by Instagram user @vegan_tinymomgram.
