Using an air fryer to cook bacon is perfect when you just need a few slices, and want minimal mess to clean up and hands-off cooking. During the summer months I love making air fried bacon to cook up a few pieces for a couple of BLT’s. It’s less babysitting than a skillet, and it’s too hot to turn on the oven for my go-to oven method! With my foil-lined method, there’s also little to no mess to clean up. Just crumple up the foil and go! It works remarkably well for me, creating perfect bacon every time.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Veggie patties intended to be sandwiched in a bun, burger-style, have been around since the advent of the burger itself. Meat analogues, on the other hand, are more new. Designed not so much for longtime vegetarians who have no particular craving for anything that behaves like meat, brands such as Impossible and Beyond came into the market in the 2010s, ostensibly to offer meat-eaters a plant-based but meat-like alternative.

One thing I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older is that fragrance can conjure memories like nothing else. You can catch a whiff of a certain perfume—or even a certain note: jasmine, gardenia, citrus—and be instantly transported back to another time, such as watching your mother or grandmother spritz on her signature scent at her vanity, or reminded of a certain person, the way that I’ll pass someone in the street that smells just like my best friend from college.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.
