PAWS New England reports that Sazerac, an 11-week-old male puppy currently in New England, is still waiting for a home after the rest of their litter, and even their mama, were adopted. According to PAWS New England, Sazerac has vision loss in one eye and diminished vision in the other, a condition the rescue says has likely contributed to being overlooked despite otherwise typical puppy behavior.

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.

Cops do more harm than good busting drug dealers, doctor tells Denver council

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.

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.

I make this strawberry angel food cake every summer because it's a no-bake dessert that actually holds up at a potluck. You layer soft angel food cake cubes with a creamy strawberry filling and fresh strawberries in a 9x13 pan, then let the fridge do the work. No oven, no fuss, and it feeds a crowd.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

7 Steel-Town and Coal-Camp Suppers From Industrial America

The men who worked Pittsburgh's blast furnaces or dug anthracite coal in Schuylkill County came home hollowed out and black-handed. Dinner had to be on the table and it had to be enough. The women who cooked it worked with what cost almost nothing: dried beans, salt pork, cabbage, cheap cuts of pork shoulder, whatever the garden gave up late in the season.

Slow Cooker Ribbon Noodles Turn Four Ingredients Into Comfort

Beef stew meat, condensed French onion soup, dry onion-soup mix, and wide ribbon noodles become a deeply savory dinner with remarkably little attention. Hours in the slow cooker allow the beef to grow fork-tender while the soups form a rich onion broth around it. Added near the end, the broad noodles absorb that concentrated flavor and transform the liquid into something closer to a silky sauce. The result is old-fashioned comfort food at its most practical: warm, hearty, uncomplicated, and built from only four primary ingredients.
