New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast often illustrates the absurdities of everyday life. In her new book, The Two Saddest Kitchens, she finds humor in the anxiety of home kitchens—from the forgotten space above the refrigerator to the cast iron pan. Plus, Kristen Miglore tells us whether we should refrigerate our ketchup, mayo and other condiments; and Cindy Ott shares how the pumpkin became an American icon.
