When's the last time you poured a perfect glass of Pinot Noir in your own home? If you're like me from three weeks ago, probably never. Red wines should be served somewhere between 58 and 68 degrees (opinions vary). That's a bit cooler than room temperature, but unless you want to dedicate money and space to a special refrigerator, you don't have many good options.

Viruses can be spread at any time, according to Amarat (Amy) Simonne, a professor of food safety and quality at the University of Florida's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. While she said that the CDC hasn't collected specific data on foods associated with holiday seasons, one study reported an uptick in certain Salmonella cases following the Thanksgiving holiday, which the researchers said was most likely related to foods disproportionately eaten then, particularly turkey.

A device created by JUE Design and Research Studio in collaboration with the Intelligent Human-Machine Mechanical Interface Lab at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the gadget is designed to work as a personal companion that interacts with its owner through touch. It uses haptics to produce physical sensations that feel like contact with different materials and movements. The concept object has a soft, rounded body made from translucent material, and its surface diffuses light that can show different brightness levels.

"The biggest part of learning how to work a fire ... what that comes down to is your wood selection," Franklin emphasizes on his YouTube channel, BBQ with Franklin.
