When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

The Boston Bruins will enter the 2024-25 NHL season with a significant yet under-discussed advantage, thanks to the versatile Pavel Zacha. Whether playing as a center or a winger, Zacha’s consistency has been remarkable during his time with the Bruins. In his two seasons with the team following a trade from the New Jersey Devils in 2022, Zacha has split his time between these two positions, with the majority of his ice time spent alongside David Pastrnak. This has been no accident either. While Pastrnak has been the team’s best player for quite some time, it’s worth noting that his two best seasons have coincided with his partnership with Zacha. Though Pastrnak’s success can’t be solely attributed to this pairing, the chemistry between the two Czech natives has certainly played a role in Pastrnak’s play, regardless of whether Zacha has played on the wing or at center.

Chinese food is one of my favorites! Sometimes, all I want is a heaping bowl of beef broccoli and rice.

Sometimes, I will get the ingredients together the day prior or combine the parts that I can ahead of time so this meal preps in a snap! Here's what you'll need for 6 servings:
