TasteFood: Your barbecued ribs deserve a rub
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 10:38:13 GMT
Kick off summer with these dry-rubbed baby back pork ribs. The key to this recipe is a heady rub that does not skimp in the flavor department. It’s an evolution of a dry spice rub I was inspired by years ago at the now-closed East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The chef, Chris Schlesinger, devised this mouth-tingling blend for his baby back pork ribs, which packed a whammy of flavor and officially kickstarted my passion for barbecue ribs.The key to the rub is heaps of salt and sugar along with an abundance of dried spice that leaves enough wiggle room to tinker with flavor. The sugar and salt ensure crispy, succulent ribs that are wildly crave-worthy, and the flavors tip to the Southwest with the addition of cumin, paprika and cayenne. In the restaurant, a sauce was always served on the side, but it’s the rub that stands out in my memory, since I prefer my ribs crispy and not overly sauced. Since then and over the years, I’ve replicated this rub in variou...Analysis: Why one of the most dangerous hours in America is now 11 o’clock on Sunday morning

Analysis by John Blake | CNN(CNN) — Jeanne Assam had a gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen as she watched parishioners leave a Sunday worship service at a Colorado megachurch one snow-covered December day.That morning, a gunman had escaped after killing two people at a missionary training center about 70 miles away. Assam had a premonition that the gunman would next target the Colorado Springs church where she volunteered as an unpaid security officer. Her feeling was so strong that she volunteered to work that day, even though she had planned to stay home.At 12:55 pm., Assam heard someone in the church lobby say that something weird was going on in the parking lot. Someone had lit a smoke bomb. A rifle shot then rang out in the parking lot. Assam heard a panicky voice shout from the packed crowd in the church lobby, “Get down! He’s got a gun!”“I could tell it was the crack of a high-powered rifle,” Assam said. “It [the gunfire] was just thundering out really lo...A California woman fell to her death at a popular hiking area while trying to rescue a teenage girl who slipped, authorities say

DEAR TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER: While I was on vacation in Istanbul last year, I fell victim to a scam by some local thugs. They ran a “club” where they persuaded single male tourists to come in. Then, they coerced them into paying thousands of dollars for bogus drinks (“Champagne” that was cider and water, for example). They made it impossible to leave without the threat of violence.Christopher Elliott, the Travel Troubleshooter Once I was inside, it was clear that the locals I had come with were working with the “club” to lure tourists in and bilk them of their money. I played dumb, realizing I had no choice but to stay. There was one exit down a flight of stairs and a bouncer who made sure no one was leaving until they got their money. Some charges they made me sign for; others they continued to charge to my card now that they had it.They charged me on two credit cards: one Wells Fargo card and one Chase card. I eventually was able to leave an...SFPD searching for 'person of interest' in block party shooting

(CNN) — La aerolínea china Hainan Airlines defendió la imposición de requisitos de peso a los asistentes de vuelo después de que los informes de la nueva política se hicieran virales en redes sociales y provocaran una reacción negativa del público.Medios estatales informaron inicialmente que la aerolínea, una de las más grandes del país, introdujo una nueva política a principios de junio que amenazaba con dejar en tierra a las asistentes si su peso excedía el “límite estándar”.La regla era parte de una serie de pautas más amplias sobre la apariencia emitidas para la tripulación de cabina, con el peso “estándar” calculado por altura, según el Global Times administrado por el estado.Por ejemplo, un asistente que mida 158 centímetros, la estatura promedio de una mujer china adulta, deberá permanecer dentro de los 48 kilogramos.Tras tres años de cierre por pandemia, aerolíneas chinas lanzan nuevas rutas aéreas en 2023Los asistentes de vuelo que superen menos del 5% de ese estándar...Lahmajoun ‘pizzas’ are a family-friendly dinner to satisfy Dad

In Turkey, Armenia and the Levant, a meat-topped flatbread known as lahmajoun comes topped with spiced ground lamb, tomatoes and bell pepper. With the dough stretched paper-thin, diners typically drizzle the popular dish with lemon juice and roll it up to eat.We were in Istanbul when we came across this tasty, social dish, which fills a similar place in the culture as pizza in many other places, with equally exacting standards for what makes a good lahmajoun. The toppings are chopped coarsely for a rustic texture, the dough is expertly stretched by hand, and the flatbread cooks in minutes in a roaring-hot oven.Though delicious, authentic lahmajoun is out of reach for kids trying to do something nice for Father’s Day. That’s why we created this recipe for our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, weeknight meals. Kids can help out, though the recipe does involve a food processor and a very hot oven.We swap the usual homemade flatbread dough for st...Emitirán declaración de desastre tras colapso de la I-95; reparación puede tomar meses

El gobernador de Pensilvania, Josh Shapiro, emitirá una declaración de desastre este lunes para comenzar las reparaciones en la carretera I-95 después de que un camión incendiado provocara el colapso de una parte de la carretera en el noreste de Filadelfia el domingo por la mañana, lo que causó importantes retrasos en el tráfico que se intensificarían esta semana.Durante una conferencia de prensa el domingo por la noche, Shapiro dijo que se espera que la reconstrucción completa de la I-95 tome “algunos meses” y que tendrían un cronograma específico para la reconstrucción luego de una revisión de ingenieros y funcionarios de PennDOT. También dijo que los funcionarios estaban trabajando en soluciones provisionales para conectar ambos lados de la carretera.“Para acelerar este proceso y reducir la burocracia, mañana por la mañana planeo emitir una declaración de desastre, lo que permitirá que el Estado Libre Asociado retire inmediatamente fondos federales y actúe rápidamente...Latest news
