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.

My Grandma Always Added This To Her Scrambled Eggs, Turns Out She Shouldn't Have

My grandma always added a splash of milk to her scrambled eggs before they hit the pan. It's how she taught me to make them, and it's how I made them for years without ever questioning it.

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.

No, Trump Doesn't Care About the Midterms. The Only Election that Matters is Israel's.

There is a lot of commentary that Trump doesn’t care about the midterm. The fact is that at eighty and in poor health he is aware that he will not get another term. This explains his name being plastered on anything that stands still and his self-dealing. His base, which is a pie cut into three unequal pieces, all seem okay with this.

The Microwave Baked Potato Trick That Gets Dinner on the Table Before the Oven Even Heats Up

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

Orange Soda Sherbet Turns Three Ingredients Into Frozen Nostalgia

Orange soda, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream create a creamy no-churn dessert that tastes like a frozen creamsicle. The soda supplies bright citrus flavor and playful fizz, condensed milk brings sweetness, and whipped cream keeps the mixture light enough to scoop. No ice cream maker, stove, or complicated custard is required. Simply combine the ingredients carefully, freeze them until firm, and wait for the vivid orange treat to work its nostalgic magic.

I Made This Pound Cake Once and Now It's My Go-To

I didn't expect one loaf to change how I make pound cake for good, but that's exactly what happened the first time I added cream cheese to the batter. The combination of butter and cream cheese gives this cake a dense, velvety texture that's hard to get from a regular pound cake. It slices clean without crumbling apart, and the lemon zest adds just enough brightness to keep it from feeling heavy.

I Poured a Full Can of Soda Into My Cake Batter, and I'm Never Using Water Again

This Dr Pepper cake starts with a box of chocolate fudge cake mix, a box of instant chocolate pudding, and a full cup of Dr Pepper stirred right into the batter. The soda keeps the cake moist and adds just a hint of flavor in the background, not an overpowering soda taste. Once it bakes, a warm chocolate frosting gets poured right over the top so it soaks in a little as it sets.

This is the side dish everyone asks for at the holiday table

It's not really Thanksgiving without a spoonful of this on the plate, creamy, custardy, and packed with corn flavor. This isn't your typical corn pudding. Toasted cubes of cornbread get folded into a rich custard along with corn, so it lands somewhere between corn pudding and bread pudding, and it's better than both.
