To use Amazon’s Smart Plug, connect it to a standard outlet and pair with the Alexa app. Then plug in electronics of your choosing to control them via the app or by using voice commands.

I never thought of myself as the type of person who can’t eat a meal without hot sauce until I discovered this Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly By Jing, one of our favorite AAPI-owned businesses. The oil-based sauce is made with chilis and peppers that give it a kick, but I don’t find it unbearably spicy whatsoever, despite being sensitive to spice. I drizzle the sauce over vegetables and fish to add a little heat to my meals, and I love the crunchy bits you get in every spoonful.
