Do you still read magazines? Do you subscribe to any? Which are your favorites and why?
I do. While more and more content from magazines is being moved online, and I don't read a lot of the magazines I used to, there are some magazines that I still enjoy. I am subscribed to Women's Health and Cooking Light at the moment. The latter was a gift I hope will be changed to a subscription to Cook's Illustrated, which I currently read every month at the library. My husband's paternal grandmother subscribes to Good Housekeeping and gives me all of the issues she's read since she saw me last every time we get together for a family dinner. I also have a stack of Better Homes and Gardens I got from her. Yes, I read and enjoy both.
I am still in love with magazines, despite the pages and pages of advertising. I like the glossy look and feel that they have. I like the monthly dose of advice and tips I receive from them, although sometimes I think I have more fun arguing with my issue of Women's Health as to why the particular scientific study they're writing about probably shouldn't be generalized to a larger population just yet. I admit, I have a great time pulling apart their science writing
When it comes to Cook's Illlustrated, they do a great job of getting into the nitty gritty of baking method, reviewing kitchen equipment, and offering tips to help me in the kitchen. I love that. Good Housekeeping is full of more general information, but full of tips on everything from a cleaner house to better Christmas cookies to make-up.
How about you?
