Meatballs and more recipes to make this week

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:43:57 GMT

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesEveryone has comfort food. Here’s mine: juicy meatballs done Italian American style, served with homemade tomato sauce or piled on top of a spaghetti heap.I used to make a pot of meatballs when friends came over for dinner because it was cozy but not frumpy and everyone loved it. It was also very easy. I’d usually skip the pasta — one less thing to maneuver in my slight strip of a kitchen — and put out good bread instead to dunk in that tomato sauce pool. (It’s even better if it’s garlic bread.) That, plus a big salad: dinner!Now I make meatballs and sauce just because, and in big batches, so I can put some away in the freezer for later. (Never, ever make a single batch of meatballs!) I’ve played the field with different recipes: versions that use only beef (as with Kay Chun’s recipe below), or pork and ricotta. I like great turkey meatballs, too, and I’ve dabbled in meatless meatballs as well.1. MeatballsBy Kay ChunA mix of garlic and her...

VIDEO: L.A. homeowner exchanges gunfire with would-be robbers As of 8:30 a.m., the fire had consumed about half of the iconic wood hangar."There's literally nothing we can do about it at this point," Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy said.

Grieving California mother, critics blame celebrity rehab, say subpar care led to death

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:43:57 GMT

Dear Gov. Newsom: Here’s a real California story for you. Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Phyllis Diller and Bob Hope are immortalized on Palm Springs’ Walk of the Stars — and so is reality TV celebrity Ken Seeley.Ken Seeley of Intervention911 (Photo by Angela Piazza, Orange County Register/SCNG) Seeley gained the national spotlight as a real-life superhero on A&E’s gut-wrenching “Intervention,” sweeping in as users spiral into addiction’s dark depths and often, against all odds, helping yank them out. His star power lent a special sheen to Seeley’s addiction treatment facilities — Ken Seeley Communities or KSC, doing business as Intervention911 — and attracts folks seeking similar miracles.And so it was for Susan Rea of San Juan Capistrano. Despite repeated brushes with death, emergency room ordeals and stints in rehab, her 22-year-old son Dean just couldn’t shake perhaps the most dangerous addiction of all: to fentanyl. As you well know, Gov. Newsom, this synthetic opioid i...

Niles: Will the new Six Flags get the details right?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:43:57 GMT

Now that the shock is wearing off following the merger of Six Flags with Knott’s Berry Farm parent Cedar Fair, it’s time to consider whether this deal will be a good one for theme park fans.Sure, it’s going to feel strange to have Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm be part of the same company. But at this point, the new company’s management has not told fans anything about what changes might be coming to their favorite parks as a result of the deal.We know that the new company will be called Six Flags, and that its shares will trade under Cedar Fair’s old ticker symbol, FUN. Cedar Fair CEO Richard Zimmerman will assume the same title in the new company, and its headquarters will be located at Cedar Fair’s home in Charlotte, North Carolina.Both companies have sold passes that allow fans admission into all parks in the chain, and many fans are hoping for a new pass offering that includes everything in the supersized Six Flags. A pass that allowed unlimited admission to bo...

Climate change is impacting the home insurance industry and damaging the U.S. housing market

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:43:57 GMT

By Anna Bahney | CNNWashington, DC — When Michael Monaghan, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Sellers Realty in northern California, got an offer for a home in Bayside at the seller’s $650,000 list price in September, he told the buyer’s agent that the buyer needed to start looking for insurance immediately.“I said, ‘Start working on this on day one,’” Monaghan said. “Getting insurance is the most important thing right now when you’re in escrow for the deal to close.”In the past, acquiring homeowners’ insurance didn’t present buyers much difficulty, but as climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather, insurers — especially those in areas most impacted by floods and fires — are raising their premiums, or pulling out altogether, impacting the affordability and availability of home and fire insurance.For example, in May, State Farm, the largest home insurer in the state, announced it would pause issuing policies in California, citing wildfire risks.

Median price of luxury home in DC market now nearly $1.7M

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:43:57 GMT

The D.C. metro ranks No. 17 among the Top 50 metros for median price of a luxury home sale and No. 10 among metros with a population of one million or more people.A luxury home sale is defined as a home whose list price is in the top 5% by value in each market. The median luxury home sale price in the D.C. region in the third quarter was $1.662 million, up 5.1% from a year earlier, according to data from Redfin.Homes in the luxury tier sold in the third quarter in an average of 36 days, which is fairly quickly considering the limited pool of buyers in the luxury price range. Nearly half those sales were all cash sales.“Wealthy homebuyers have more tools to weather the storm of high mortgage rates,” said Jason Aleem, senior vice president of real estate operations for Redfin. “Many of them can afford to pay cash, meaning they’re escaping high mortgage rates altogether. Others are choosing to take on a higher rate and refinance later — an expensive option that ...
