The uber wealthy Dane waging a one-man war on loneliness
Halfway down the ladder, my toes touch the frigid water of Copenhagen's Nyhavn canal. I'm in my swimsuit in the two-degree December air, and it's too late to abandon the dip: coming in hot down the ladder is the next brave person and, gasping and giggling in the pool, are Danes in beanies already angling for the nearest exit. In I go! After, the members of Kanalhuset hotel's weekly swim club dry off and tug on coats as the morning light strengthens. The ice is officially broken, but we're not through with the day's bonding activities. We share coffee from a Thermos and sing a Christmas carol, while I admire a bloke who dries his naked body, shamelessly alfresco, taking precise advantage of the pool's barely waist-high fence, before donning a sleek suit and cycling off.

Meals for Maycember
Hi, friends! Margaux filling in for Emily today. Tickled to be here. If you're a parent, you might be in the thick of Maycember, that end-of-spring flurry of activities that requires SEAL-Team-Six-level logistics and planning: school concerts, graduations, sports tournaments, dance recitals, field trips, themed dress-up days, classroom parties, teacher conferences, summer child-care planning. (What am I forgetting? Definitely something I'll remember at 3 a.m.) I personally love the hustle and bustle of the almost-summer season, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the idea of cooking dinner every night on top of it all is little overwhelming. My first tip is this: Don't. Schedule one or two (or three!) days for takeout, or something incredibly simple like store-bought frozen dumplings or burritos with a pile of cut up fruit and vegetables. For the rest, choose the most low-effort recipes in all the land, like those below. Many of them can be made in 30 minutes or less, are wonderful warm or at room temperature and can be tucked into a Thermos and eaten on the way to your kid's 87th activity. Ali Slagle's all-in-one dinner comes together in 20 minutes, thanks to clever use of the broiler. Serve with rice or tuck everything into a pita. Make-ahead tip: Toss everything together on the sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap and slide into the fridge until you're ready to cook. Make the two-ingredient sauce in a resealable container. (No need to refrigerate if it's just for the day.) View this recipe. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
