Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:36:42 GMT

Football has wings and nachos. Baseball has hotdogs and Cracker Jacks. But basketball? It’s not really associated with any particular food. Not only that, but the Denver Nuggets have never been to an NBA Championship, so Colorado doesn’t really have any game-watching traditions.To help, we’ve come up with a few suggestions for what to eat at home if you are having a watch party — and what to have on the road if you’re planning to hit a restaurant or bar for the games. By the way, the first game is at 6:30 p.m. today, June 1. See the rest of the schedule here.At homeBlue and yellow tortilla chipsCelebrating at home?

Ways to make strawberries even tastier

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:36:42 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesLast winter was a terrible time to be a strawberry in California — and maybe an even worse time to be a strawberry farmer.At Harry’s Berries in Oxnard, California, the rain came down so hard it flattened acres of strawberry beds “like pancakes,” said operations manager Kristopher Gean, whose grandfather Harry Iwamoto started the farm more than 50 years ago. Each bed had to be dug up by hand, costing the farm more than $100,000 in labor.Even then, the berries that survived to make it to market were bloated, insipid and expensive. “Everyone on Instagram was complaining: ‘These berries don’t taste that good,’” Gean said. “And they were right.”From January to March, bad weather and bland berries were the rule for farmers across California, who grow about 85% of the commercial strawberries in the United States. And the devastated crops, with their low yields, astronomically drove up prices for any berries you could find.Things have finally turned...
