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.

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. School was called off, the hill behind the elementary school was packed three sleds deep by ten in the morning, and by late afternoon the back door was letting in wet mittens and a cold that had worked all the way through a jacket. The kitchen was the payoff. Something bubbling on the stove, the windows steamed over, a smell that reached the entryway before anyone got their boots off.

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. On December 24th, the question was never what to cook for Christmas Eve supper. It was already decided, usually before anyone in the house was born. In Texas, that meant tamales. In Minnesota, lutefisk. In New Mexico, a pot of posole that had gone on the stove that morning. Each family treated the meal as settled law, and each was absolutely certain their version was the correct one.

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?!

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.”
