Serve it with something to catch the saucy tomatoes: Crusty bread, polenta or couscous all work well. Yield: 4 servings Total time:…

There’s a tool for every task, and while all of the best tablets make a great option for things like visual content creation and media consumption, they can feel a bit like overkill if you’re simply looking for something digital that replicates the things you do on paper. This would include everyday tasks like taking notes, jotting down to-do lists, and brainstorming for both professional and creative projects. A smart notebook may make the best option for such activities, as it offers a feel and experience similar to a physical notepad and pen. A smart notebook also makes a much…
