When it comes to frosty treats, ice cream reigns supreme and remains one of America’s favorite desserts, whether as a cool ending to a sultry summer day or the perfect topping for a slice of apple pie.

As a medical student, nails were one part of my anatomy course that I really struggled with. I found it difficult, at first, to stomach the sight of painful nail injuries. My squeamishness may have stemmed from witnessing someone sharply removing a plaster from their stubbed big toe – only to take the whole toenail away with it. Ouch. I’ve recovered now, which is lucky since nails can tell doctors a lot about the health of a patient.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.

There’s a weird misconception that food with flavor is unhealthy. We see it all the time in gym culture with the typical “bro meal” of bland chicken, rice, and broccoli. It’s a simple meal, but not the tastiest one available, unless you jazz it up. Another example would be how some of the most popular “wellness” foods really aren’t that appetizing, like kale or spinach. While these foods can be served up in delicious ways, they usually aren’t promoted that way. It’s created a culture where people think healthy food has to be mutually exclusive from fun food, and if it is fun and tasty, it’s therefore unhealthy. This is where the misconception that spicy food is unhealthy was born.

Puff pastries are one of the most versatile pastries. Normally refrigerated or can be stocked in your freezer, the light and flaky pastry is made from rolled dough that has been folded.
