Cooking shows provide comfort

Gambar
Under our stay-at-home order, I've turned to TV cooking shows to feel like I'm, at least, seeing three-dimensional people. And Ina Garten and the chefs at "America's Test Kitchen" speak right to you. Wow, it's like a conversation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         If you've run through what you saved on your DVR and all the various streaming options, perhaps cooking shows have become more of a fixture in your TV-watching repertoire. Without a nearly two-hour commute each day, I've found that I have more time to devote to ot...

First date from hell as man is left with kitchen knife sticking out of his head just hours after meeting would-be lover

A MAN is fighting for his life after he was attacked by a woman following an argument during their first date. The unnamed victim was left with a knife in his head after the incident which took place in Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine, on April 9. Reports say the pair were drinking alcohol on a bench near a block of flats when an argument started between them. During heated discussions, the 31-year-old date - identified only by her first name of Marina - allegedly stabbed the man with a kitchen knife, letting the blade enter six inches into his head, police said. A video filmed by witnesses shows the 59-year-old man lying unconscious on the ground moments after being attacked by the woman. The suspect can be seen rummaging in the man's pockets reportedly for his money while the knife sticks out of the right part of his head.

Meal Makeover: Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum's Nutritionist Reveals How to Get the Most From Your Kitchen

In the age of social distancing, cooking can feel a wee bit like an episode of Chopped: Amateur Hour. What exactly can I make with half a bag of pretzels, a questionable red pepper and the last carton of eggs I managed to snag off the shelf?  But nutritionist Kelly LeVeque—the woman Jessica Alba, Emmy Rossum and Jennifer Garner rely on to keep them eating healthy—swears there is no need for the kitchen scaries, nor do you have to resort to simply binge eating comfort carbs. (Though, trust us: no judgment here on that front.)  By cooking in bulk, stocking up your freezer and keeping an eye on produce juuuust before it goes bad, you can make the most of every last morsel in your pantry and fridge. "Now more than ever we need to lean into zero waste policy to avoid frivolous trips to the store in contact with others," says the best-selling author of Body Love. "I'm throwing my celery and carrot top...

Tom Hanks hosted "Saturday Night Live" from his home yesterday for the show's first broadcast since it went on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. Speaking to viewers from his kitchen, Hanks, who recently recovered from the coronavirus, delivered the opening monologue dressed in a suit. He joked that it was the first time he'd worn anything but sweatpants for a month. "Hey all you cool cats and kittens," Hanks greeted his virtual audience with a reference to "Tiger King," the popular Netflix documentary series. "It's good to be here, though it is also very weird to be here hosting 'Saturday Night Live' from home." Hanks went on to joke that ever since his coronavirus diagnosis, he's been like "America's dad ... No one wants to be around me very long, and I make people uncomfortable." He added that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, who also tested positive, are now doing well. The Oscar winner first revealed h...

Best Potholder for the Kitchen

Gambar
It's probably not in your best interest to grab a piping hot pot or pan without any sort of protection. While you could opt for a classic oven mitt, oftentimes you just need something quick and easy to slip on — something you don't have to repeatedly take on and off. In this case, a potholder is best. All you have to do is simply grab said pot holder and you're free to pick up anything that would be otherwise too hot to handle. While you might be inclined to just grab a simple dish towel, they oftentimes don't have the same level of protection a potholder possess. After all, they're literally made for this type of thing. As such, we decided to look at some of the best potholders on the web, so that you can get the proper protection when cooking, baking, or simply reheating food. Check out what we managed to scrounge up. Best Overall Potholders For starters, you can't go wrong with the Ritz Royale Collection 100% Cotton Terry Cloth Pot Holder...

Debbie's Kitchen in Albany is closing for good

ALBANY — Debbie's Kitchen, a Lark Street-area institution for sandwiches, soups and baked goods since 1985, minus a hiatus or two, is closing for good after business on Saturday. On Thursday morning, founder Debbie Klauber said, "It just got so hard" after the COVID-19 crisis forced restaurants to adapt to takeout and cast a general sense of uncertainty over the hospitality industry and society as a whole. Klauber stayed open for several weeks, closed for a few days last week and returned for three final days. "It started to give me pause," said the 63-year-old Klauber. "Was I doing a service by staying open or a disservice by not being as safe as I could be?" Hours through Saturday wi...
