I’ve only seen golf-ball-size hail once in my life, while in Dallas, Texas, and it was eye-opening. But what happened in the Midwest a few days ago makes that look minor by comparison. Videos circulating on social media show hailstones far larger than most people ever experience. AccuWeather shared one of the most intense clips (see embed below). The caption read: “Huge hail slammed into a lake in Minnesota as severe weather swept the region. Madison Lake resident Terri Robb captured this video and said the storm was producing ‘baseball-sized hail.’” Huge hail slammed into a lake in Minnesota as…

On Sunday, April 19th along the Delaware River, Cherry Street Pier transforms from a relic of Philadelphia’s industrial past into a living laboratory of the future.

Carnitas—literally “little meats”—are one of Mexico’s most iconic pork dishes, and this double-pork carnitas recipe (belly and shoulder) delivers a flavorful, unfussy take built around two things: great meat and patience.This streamlined recipe strips out the citrus, spices, and other aromatics typical of many carnitas recipes, keeping the braise intentionally simple. The payoff comes in the final step, when the pork is crisped in its own fat, yielding juicy, shreddy meat with deeply browned, crackly edges and concentrated pork flavor.Once the meat is cooked, make carnitas tacos by filling warm corn tortillas with the shredded pork and topping with fresh…

Back in 2017, Mariela Camacho, the oldest daughter of Mexican immigrant parents, was baking sourdough loaves for coffee shops in Seattle when she decided to lean into her heritage and learn to bake conchas, the catcher’s mitt-sized sweet buns commonly found in Mexican panaderias.The problem: she had no idea how to make them. “My family cooks, but they don’t bake, so I had to figure it out myself,” she said. “Nine years ago, conchas were not cool, so I had to basically teach myself.”Today, Camacho bakes colorful conchas in modern flavors like earl grey and vanilla, hot chocolate with saffron…

Want to know more about what borax is, and if it’s safe for cleaning with? Here’s my extensive review, to help you make an informed decision. There’s always a box of borax in my green cleaning kit.
