Kelly Jaggers on cooking for one, embracing leftovers and making the kitchen a more enjoyable place
Cookbook author Kelly Jaggers knows how tricky it can be to avoid the siren song of DoorDash and whip up fresh, hot meals nightly. She also knows how annoyingly inconvenient it can be to modify recipes built to serve four when you're only looking to cook for yourself. So, she's put together "The Ultimate Meal Planning for One Cookbook," which helps to arrange and strategize your kitchen plans, ensuring that the dish you make on Monday night will supply you with leftovers to repurpose on Tuesday.
What I wish I'd known about bisexuality and the truth about love
“My mom is a lesbian,” my then-third-grader announced one evening at dinner. We were sitting around the dining room table, and I hadn’t even dug into my salad. My father raised his eyebrows. It was an otherwise unremarkable night during a slow-to-warm spring. “Well, not a lesbian per...
There is one big reason why Joe Biden refuses to step aside
President Joe Biden is running against a man with 34 felony convictions, two impeachments and a historically bungled attempt to manage a pandemic. Even worse, former President Donald Trump is the only president to ever refuse to accept the results of an election if he lost, a petulant and politically perilous practice in which Trump has indulged since before he became president.
The cynicism of the Supreme Court: Helping Trump kill the American experiment
Friday’s most significant Supreme Court decisions, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, fit within a guideline that explains the conservative majority’s recent spate of key decisions.. In a pair of opinions released on the penultimate day of the term, the majority made clear its intent to follow right-wing ideology — unless doing so would hinder their preferred candidate’s election, in which case ideology yields, at least temporarily.
Expert: UK's Tories committing "electoral suicide" — but the far right will be back
By the end of this coming week, the United Kingdom will almost certainly have a new prime minister, Keir Starmer of the Labour Party. That will also bring an early end, in all probability, to the political career of Rishi Sunak, the Conservative Party's current whiz-kid prime minister, who at 44 is just about young enough to be Joe Biden's grandson. But the contest between those two distinctly unimpressive party leaders is only a footnote to the real story.
"The Bear" brings Syd and Carmy to a boiling point, but here's why they can't be endgame
Season 3 of “The Bear” begins by tossing fresh meat to SydCarmy loyalists – an aiguillette of hamachi with a blood orange reduction, if you want to get technical. The dish stars in Carmen Berzatto’s (Jeremy Allen White) memory of a tortured day working for Joel McHale’s cruel NYC chef at his five-star establishment.
Once branded as “cheap eats,” Asian cuisine is finally getting the awards it deserves
Chef Christina Nguyen kickstarted her restaurant career in 2011 when she and her husband Birk Grudem opened Hola Arepa, a food truck serving platters of Venezuelan street food. Three years later, the pair opened its brick-and-mortar location in South Minneapolis and, in 2018, added Southeast Asian restaurant Hai Hai to their résumé.
Why Chappell Roan is your dream girl’s dream girl – and 2024's breakout artist
In August 2023, Chappell Roan released a music video for her 1980s electro-pop throwback “HOT TO GO!” Set in Springfield, Missouri — she grew up in nearby Wilder — the clip centers around a choreographed dance in which she spells out the song title with her arms.
6 ways to stay safe at the beach this summer
Summer has officially arrived, and with it comes a renewed interest in frequenting places of sand and surf. Growing up along the Jersey Shore, I learned how to "do" the beach from an early age. I know its unspoken rules of etiquette, like avoiding parking oneself too close to fellow beachgoers and keeping music at a respectful volume. Once the spring season turns, my weekends become synonymous with scavenging for seashells and quietly evaluating swells for the most suitable time to bodysurf.
Grief is brutal, but there is value in it, experts say. So why do we try to "cure" it?
Cody Delistraty wanted to get good at grief. After his mother died of melanoma when he was in his early twenties, he found, as he writes in his new book “The Grief Cure: Looking for the End of Loss,” “There was no control to exert. No blueprint to follow.” So, feeling frustrated and exhausted, he did just what a mourner who’s also a journalist might do — he investigated.
Senate Republicans set to seize on Supreme Court’s abortion opening
For 50 years, Americans counted on Roe v. Wade to protect not only the right to abortion, but the ability to receive lifesaving care for miscarriages and the chance to build families through fertility care. Roe was never perfect. For too many, it was a right in name only – a right that slipped increasingly out of reach as Republicans chipped away at abortion access in states across the country. Then, two years ago, anti-abortion Supreme Court justices handpicked by Donald Trump overturned Roe once and for all.
Dahmer victim's mom slams Ariana Grande's "sick" serial killer comments
