Drain and rinse a can of red kidney beans, dump into a baking dish, level them out. Layer on some spinach, watercress, a little dill, and some dehydrated minced onion. Top with a pouch of Tasty Bite Madras lentils, level it all out. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes about 4 servings, depending on your appetite.

because there isn't a number or a word in any language that represents an amount that microscopic.

you probably couldn't even correctly answer this:

Alyssa's maternity leave fill-ins: The biggest name is Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who served as a "View" co-host from 2003 to 2013, during which time she famously sparred with Rosie O'Donnell over politics and, well, pretty much everything else.

After pulling Timothy Busfield's episode of "Law & Order: SVU" from the schedule, following the actor's arrest last month, the NBC procedural has recast the role with "Dexter" vet David Zayas, according to Give Me My Remote.

Busfield is currently facing charges of child abuse and sexual abuse involving a minor.

Yes, it is quite unrealistic, but what starts as a well-made lifetime television movie crossed with graphic softcore gay porn turns into something much deeper and it becomes a beautiful love story about two people who take 8 years to realize they've been in love since the day they met. It's a total fantasy, the way many romantic films or series are, but it is so well done and acted that to be so dismissive about anyone else's emotional reactions to it because you didn't have any is myopic. People need escapism and feel-good entertainment every once in a while (especially nowadays). And, of course, there was that dresser...

I went to a taping of $10,000 Pyramid when I was a young'n. That's as close as I've come.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7017114/2026/02/02/chicago-white-sox-munetaka-murakami-bidet/ Munetaka Murakami has been the premier offseason signing for the Chicago White Sox. Upon his arrival, the Japanese infielder had an interesting request for White Sox management: a bidet in the locker room. Murakami isn’t the first Japanese player to request a bidet in the locker, as he makes the trip stateside for the first time. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki made it clear to the organization when he was being courted last offseason that installing a bidet was important to him. “I was telling him about all the amenities we were adding,” Dodgers president Stan Kasten told Bill Plunkett of the OC Register in April. ‘We’re going to have this and this and this. And he asked, ‘Are you going to have Japanese-style toilets?’” The Dodgers obliged, and Sasaki agreed to sign with Los Angeles. “It sounds like a joke,” Sasaki later said through an interpreter. “But for me, it’s pretty important.” This serves as a message for MLB teams looking to attract Japanese talent: Bringing a bidet into the locker room might help win a negotiation.

Major transformation is on the horizon for a low-income apartment complex notable for its three-story-high buildings with distinctive Dutch stepped gables occupying a superblock on the southeastern edge of Bed Stuy. Developers have filed to rezone the property, known as Fulton Park, to make way for a mega-development with up to a dozen buildings reaching 17 stories and holding upwards of 2,000 market-rate and affordable apartments. Potentially, about half the units could be affordable, and current residents would be able to move into similar but new apartments at the same rent. The application was filed by L+M Development Partners and SMJ Development in partnership with the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development. It calls for the rezoning of 1754 Fulton Street and 53 Utica Avenue, lots bound by Utica Avenue and Nelson Mandela High School to the west, Fulton Street to the north, Rochester Avenue and Hunterfly Place to the east, and Atlantic Avenue to the south. As part of the plan, the 38 existing buildings at Fulton Park, which contain 209 Section 8 affordable apartments and a management building, would be demolished. Two new buildings would be constructed to replace the existing housing units and one of the replacement buildings is expected to be built first on part of the vacant portion of the Fulton Park site. That would allow residents living in the southern portion of the site to move directly into newly built apartments without an interim relocation, according to a rep from L+M, who added those tenants would receive units with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms and would continue paying the same rents. The rep said the development team had been gathering input from residents for the past two years. After the first relocation, the existing buildings south of a parking lot on a former stretch of Herkimer Street would be demolished, followed by construction of additional buildings on that portion of the site. The remaining existing residents would then be relocated into newly completed buildings. In addition to the Fulton Park site, the rezoning includes a long-vacant HPD-owned parcel west of Utica Avenue that has been used by locals as a skatepark. Under the proposal, the overall development would include 11 new buildings on the Fulton Park site and one new building on the HPD site. In total, the 12 proposed buildings would contain approximately 1.97 million gross square feet of development. About 1.91 million square feet would be residential, roughly 20,900 square feet would be commercial space, and about 33,120 square feet would be devoted to community facility use. The development would include approximately 2,035 apartments, the documents say. That figure includes the 209 Section 8 units replacing the existing Fulton Park housing, 351 apartments that would be 100 percent affordable on the HPD site, and between 337 and 505 additional affordable units at Fulton Park required under Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. As part of the rezoning application, L+M is also seeking to acquire the HPD-owned site and a representative for L+M said the proposed 100 percent affordable building on that parcel is contingent on the city approving its disposition. HPD confirmed it is in early discussions regarding the site. An HPD spokesperson told Brownstoner: “HPD is committed to building housing on this site and we are in early conversations with L & M about the potential utilization of the city-owned land for affordable housing. The L & M site is adjacent to a vacant HPD-owned site. Due to complicated regulatory issues, including the fact that both sites are part of the same tax lot, and expediency, the rezoning application is covering both sites. There are no immediate plans for HPD to develop that vacant site.” The rep added that there have been “some early conversations with L&M, but we have not made any determinations on next steps for the site” in regards to disposition.

https://stocks.apple.com/AkvZzZGwUTz-KIKyDSknoNA McDonald’s may bring its 1,057-calorie Big Arch to America soon. Why it could be a billion-dollar burger Already a feature on McDonald’s menus in other countries, the plus-size sandwich has two beef patties — reportedly weighing in at 8 ounces combined — along with three slices of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and something called Big Arch sauce, all on a poppy-and-sesame-seed bun. It adds up to 1,057 calories of burger feasting, per the British McDonald’s website, which is more than three times the calorie count of the standard McDonald’s cheeseburger (303 calories) and about double the count of a Big Mac (509 calories). The bigger-burger story goes beyond McDonald’s, with other fast-food and fast-casual chains rolling out their own hefty offerings of late. Carl’s Jr., never a chain to shy away from meaty affairs, introduced its Cali XL burger, with two 3.5-ounce beef patties, in November. And Shake Shack SHAK brought out a Big Shack burger, which has two 4-ounce beef patties, as a limited-time item last fall. And even if Burger King QSR hasn’t introduced any new supersize burgers recently, it does offer customers the option to up their Whopper game by making the sandwich a Double Whopper or even a Triple Whopper with added patties. The Triple version has a whopping 1,170 calories.

That sometimes happens amidst heated rivalries... or so I've been led to believe.

Anything is possible in gay romance TV.

In one of my forays through my favorite scenes I noticed something cute that I hadn't noticed before and I wonder if it was an ad-lib. As Shane is leading Ilya into his bedroom at the cottage, it's below the frame and you don't see it, but Ilya smacks Shane on the ass. You see his arm move and you hear it. ILYA'S CANADIAN BROTHER SPEAKS: SUPPOSEDLY THE INSPIRATION FOR SHANE: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6996379/2026/01/25/penguins-sidney-crosby-nhl-canucks/ Sidney Crosby’s impact, after all of these years, remains as strong as ever Never underestimate the influence Crosby has on kids in hockey, especially in Canada. Been in the NHL for 21 years and they’re hanging over railings to get a glimpse of him in practice. This isn’t common, especially when considering we are talking about a 38-year-old man. I don’t think children typically identify with or worship players that age. Sure, they understandably loved Crosby when he really was “Sid the Kid,” but he’s 18 months away from turning 40. One would assume kids who love hockey these days would more easily identify with and root for young stars such as Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard, because they are practically children themselves. Yet there they were in Vancouver, just like they show up in every NHL city, particularly in Canada. “He’s the guy,” Vancouver native Parker Wotherspoon said after practice, noticing all the of the kids clamoring for a view of Crosby. “He’s still the guy. He’s the best.”
