Over the past couple of years we’ve developed a tradition: a week of posts at The Kitchn that are written in response to reader requests. It’s almost that time again! At the end of the month, our Reader Requests Week will bring you only posts that were written in response to a question or request from a reader (we even note on the post who requested it!).

We have about 80 post slots to fill, and we’re wide open: What do you want to read about during Reader Request Week? Are there recipes you are looking for? Cooking lessons? Ingredient help? Product and kitchen design? Tell us! We’ll draw post ideas from the comments here, so tell us what you’d like to see us write about and we’ll get to work!

Oh, Laziness. Your reputation is so terrible that in many circles you’re actually considered a sin. You keep company with D- report cards and are reportedly the cause of numerous character faults and societal problems. Can you ever be seen as something positive? That would would be quite a hill to climb! Only, being Laziness, you probably won’t be doing much hill-climbing. You’ll remain an outcast, banished from the doorstep of any top-drawer, self-respecting, go-getting, take-charge, up-to-the-minute Super Hero.

Except in my house. You are warmly welcome here, Laziness. (But maybe only for a short visit.)

Cheers to the weekend, everyone! What have you got planned in the kitchen? Let’s run through my perfect Saturday. Start the day off RIGHT with totally delicious breakfast tacos, mosey on over to to the mushroom and leek quesadilla for lunch, and then dive into the tandoori chicken or grilled branzino for dinner. And of course, you have to end the day on the sweet side with some vegan ice cream or a glass of perfect red wine sangria. Happy eating!

And what if you could choose the right amount of food at a grocery store so you didn’t have to throw out the excess when it went bad? A new concept grocery store in Berlin, Original Unverpackt, tackles these objectives with an impressive zero-waste policy. If anything, it’s surprising that something like this doesn’t already exist.

Q: What’s the best way to incorporate dark, leafy greens into my diet? I’m not big on kale and deplore greens in my morning smoothie, both of which seem to be really popular right now. I could just use a bit more green nutrients in my diet. Thanks!
