According to the New York Post, the item was first served in 1968, giving it a history that stretches back more than five decades. That longevity explains, in part, why the…

Five budget summer dinners recipes built almost entirely around fresh produce and pasta can be pulled together for roughly $25 at the grocery store, with pantry staples doing the rest of the heavy lifting. The plan leans on seasonal ingredients (corn, cherry tomatoes, lemon, lime and jalapeรฑos) alongside orecchiette and gnocchi, plus a handful of supporting players such as cotija cheese, chicken broth, heavy cream and sour cream.The $25 estimate assumes you already have basics like oil, seasonings and standard condiments at home, and prices will naturally shift depending on where you live and shop. But the core idea holds:…
The debate over THC drinks versus alcohol has moved well beyond lifestyle columns and into peer-reviewed research, with scientists beginning to map the comparative health risks of each. Alcohol, classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organisation, carries a long and heavily documented harm profile. Cannabis beverages, by contrast, are newer to the mainstream and carry a much shorter (and still incomplete) evidence trail.The shift in public conversation around alcohol has been gradual but meaningful. Where moderate drinking was once broadly accepted, and occasionally positioned as beneficial, research has since linked regular consumption to cancer, liver disease…
The Carl’s Jr. franchisee bankruptcy filing that has placed 59 California restaurants in limbo belongs to Harshad Dharod, who plans to close 10 of those locations and market the remaining 49 for sale.

In court…

A no-bake birthday cheesecake loaded with rainbow sprinkles and Funfetti frosting is the kind of dessert that makes the whole idea of turning on the oven in summer entirely unnecessary. Total preparation time runs to just 15 minutes of active work, with the cheesecake requiring at least four hours in the refrigerator (or overnight) to set properly.The recipe, developed by Delish with food styling by Makinze Gore and photography by Linda Pugliese, builds on the straightforward appeal of no-bake cheesecakes: no water bath, no risk of cracking across the top, and no anxious check through the oven door to see…
