Yes, Dr. Sarah Axelrath of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless told the Denver City Council Monday. Axelrath, an addiction medicine specialist, said going after drug traffickers doesn’t make people stop using substances. In fact, she said it disrupts “an already potent and unpredictable drug supply.” Demand doesn’t go down after a bust. New players come to market who could be peddling an even more toxic product.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

I Thought Tuna Salad Was Boring Until I Added One New Twist, and I Changed My Mind

Cucumber tuna salad is a crisp, creamy dish you can put together in about 10 minutes flat. Canned tuna, diced cucumber, a little Dijon, and a good dressing turn into something that actually feels worth sitting down for, not just something you eat standing over the sink.

7 Classic County Fair Casseroles, With the Full Recipes

County fair cooking competitions have been a fixture of American life since at least the mid-1800s, and the casserole division has long been one of the busiest. Home cooks would spend weeks testing batches, write the recipe down in pencil on an index card, and carry a covered dish to the fairgrounds in late summer knowing the judges were taking notes on appearance, taste, and whether the thing held together when you cut into it.

The Cabbage Soup People Keep Coming Back to When They Want Something Light but Actually Satisfying

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for. As it simmers, the cabbage softens without turning mushy, the vegetables release their sweetness, and the broth picks up enough flavor to make every spoonful feel substantial. It is warm, colorful, and packed with texture, making it a practical choice when you want a lighter meal that still tastes like real food instead of a compromise.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.
