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.

Before You Buy Ice Cream, Here Are 5 Brands Worth Knowing About

Learn about some different brands of ice cream you can buy to cool you off on a hot summer day. There are several brands of ice cream that you can find on a national scale, brands like Breyers and Dreyer's/Edy's and more premium brands such as Ben & Jerry's and Häagen-Dazs.

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.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

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.

Homemade Beef Chalupas Beat the Drive-Thru Version

Warm flatbread shells fried until golden give these homemade chalupas a texture the drive-thru version struggles to match. The shells stay soft and slightly chewy inside while developing crisp, bubbled edges that hold plenty of seasoned ground beef. Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and cool sour cream complete the familiar combination, delivering creamy, crunchy, fresh, and savory flavors in each bite. Making the shells at home adds a little extra effort, but it also turns an ordinary taco dinner into a meal that feels genuinely fun and memorable.

7 Supper Dishes 1970s Families Stretched to Last the Week

Through most of the 1970s, grocery prices climbed faster than they had in a generation. The sharpest jump came in 1973 and 1974, when food at home rose about 16 percent in one year and nearly 15 percent again in the next. A chuck roast went from being a Sunday treat to something you braised on Monday and ate cold in sandwiches through Wednesday. Canned tuna, dry beans, hot dogs, and whatever cut of meat was on sale became the backbone of the week's suppers, stretched with egg noodles, cornbread, or a can of cream soup.
