COLUMN | Milkweed + Honey: Save money and grow flavor with an herb garden
You should grow herbs. Even if you don’t think you want to. I didn’t care about planting herbs when I began gardening. I didn’t eat them! Like many Americans, I thought of herbs primarily as the dried flakes in my mother’s spice cabinet. Fresh leaves appeared on my plate rarely, and when they did, it was as an unidentifiable garnish on a restaurant plate or perhaps during dinner at a friend’s house. As a child with sensory issues around food as well as a raging...

Selling a home? Here's how to get top dollar!

Most notably, record-high prices have dominated the real estate market over the last several years. High prices are good news for sellers, who can probably anticipate receiving offers above the listing price. In New Jersey, inventory is so low that 12.5% of homes in the Garden State sold above list price, according to data from RedFin. This is good news...

Evanson: Bill Walton's passing offers an opportunity to celebrate the man beyond the basketball
Bill Walton is dead. The former and forever Portland Trail Blazer passed away on May 27 at the age of 71. But while I never met the man in person and have only seen highlights of the player often described as generational, anyone familiar with “Big Red” either directly or indirectly knows that “alive” was the only way of describing him up to the second that he wasn’t.

2024 Genesis G70: The sports car disguised as a sedan
Luxury compact sport sedans occupy an odd niche in the automotive marketplace. They are not as expensive as high-end sports cars, but the rear seats are so small they are not real family cars, either. Because affordable sedans tend to be entry-level vehicles, the small rear seats can at least be rationalized as a compromise for saving money. But if you can afford a luxury compact sport sedan, why not just buy the sports car or step up to a midsize? Even a short drive...

Oregon officials warn against drinking raw milk as bird flu outbreak spreads in dairy cows
The Oregon Health Authority is warning against drinking raw or unpasteurized milk. The precaution comes amid several reported cases of H5N1 bird flu in dairy cattle herds across nine states — including Idaho. There are no reported cases of bird flu in Oregon dairy cows. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed over 50 dairy herds across several states have tested positive for bird flu, and the virus could be more widespread than current testing suggests, according to health officials. A recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration report found when nearly 300 retail milk samples were tested, about 20% of the samples were positive for trace amounts of the virus, though none contained the live infectious virus.
