From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
Someone just asked me what I'm doing for Labor Day this weekend. I replied: "I am setting meat on fire, and then consuming it." This is really my entire plan for the weekend.

Top 10 Labor Day Recipes
I love Labor Day weekend. Nothing like having an extra day off, and using it to eat things.

Easy Labor Day Recipes
I'm going to at least one actual cookout. (As opposed to me standing out in the yard alone, grilling and cackling.) I'm supposed to bring something, and I'm lazy, so I'm going to start with one of these easy recipes.

Labor Day Recipes Kids Love
You might be a fancier cook, however. If so, just remember that the kids at your BBQ probably have palates every bit as sophisticated as mine. (Read: Not at all sophisticated. Make burgers.)

12 Great Veggie Burger Recipes
And then there was the year when I offered a vegetarian friend a burger maybe six times in the course of the cookout. She did not find this endearing. Have vegetarian food options, is all I'm saying.

About Today: Learn to Play Tennis

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
A while back, my friend Cathy, an avid tennis player, gave me a tennis lesson. We did very well, once I stopped shielding my face with the racquet.

Profile: The US Open
Now that the US Open is in full swing, I'm thinking about taking up tennis again. Mostly because my husband assures me he doesn't know how to play, either, and I think it would be funny for the other people on the court to watch us try to play.

Buying a Tennis Racquet for a Beginner
The first challenge, for me, will be not to do what I always do when I take up a new sport: Buy the most ridiculously expensive version of the necessary equipment, on the theory that it will somehow make up for the fact that I don't know what I'm doing.

How to Serve
I am actually good at this. Well, relative to my other tennis-related skills.

Basic Backhand for Beginners
This is the stroke I associate most with tennis. It looks very tennis-y, somehow, in action. As if just doing it will cause you to sprout an awesome tennis dress. (Or whites, if that's more your thing.)
