Five weeknight dishes: Shake things up (a little)

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:13:26 GMT

I’ve been in a bit of a cooking rut for the last several months: chili, meatballs, barbecue chicken, nachos and pizza on repeat ad infinitum. Spring feels like a good time to try something new. But not too new, because my family thrives on routine, and who wants a revolt at the dinner table? The dishes below are a gentle switch from the same old, same old.Carrot Tart With Ricotta and Feta. In a rut? Shake things up with this spectacular vegetarian carrot tart, made with store-bought puff pastry, that comes together in about an hour. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. (David Malosh/The New York Times)1. Carrot Tart With Ricotta and FetaCarrots work beautifully in this simple tart, but onions, parsnips, beets, zucchini or pumpkin work just as well. The key is to cook the vegetables before putting them on the tart, since the moisture released by baking raw vegetables would make the puff pastry soggy and prevent it from rising. Once you remove the tart from the oven, let it cool for 10 minute...

Soucheray: Enjoy those loons on Sunfish Lake, governor

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:13:26 GMT

The governor, apparently not so tone deaf that he won’t hear the loons from the deck, will be renting Mike McFadden’s estate on Sunfish Lake for 18 months, from May until the fall of 2024, for $17,326 a month, or $314,662.50 total. See, there is too bipartisanship. McFadden — his name should be familiar — ran on the Republican ticket for the U.S. Senate in 2014 against Al Franken.That payment, not so incidentally, doesn’t include $15,000 for new carpeting.What’s a measly 15 grand when you’re sitting on a record surplus that isn’t going back to the people who paid it?Tim Walz, that flannel-shirt-wearing man of the people, won’t pay a nickel for the 8,000-square-foot digs. We will. On top of everything else, most principally Walz’s ever expanding and more expensive state government, Walz has us foot the bill for his lodging. The guy doesn’t own a house. He lives in the governor’s mansion on Summit Avenue, but the mansion needs renovation to the tune of $6.3 million.If I’m ...

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Siena men's basketball rising sophomore Michael Eley signed with Saints March On, the exclusive NIL collective for Siena athletes, on Wednesday. The new era of college sports, with NIL and the transfer portal, can be very confusing. So what is Saints March On, and what purpose does it serve in this new era? Let's break it down. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! College athletes now have the ability to monetize their name image and likeness. In the state of New York, schools are currently not allowed to make payments to athletes directly. Those NIL payments have to come through a third party. For Siena, that's where Saints March On comes in, founded by Frank and Sheila Ambrose, and Matt Moberg. "We take donations from people and we pool those resources," says Frank Ambrose. "Then we make arrangements with athletes to do things like make public appearances, do charity work and build and expand the...
