Jacques Pepin, the legendary chef, TV personality, and author, has a highly entertaining video on YouTube demonstrating how to do this, in the classic French and also country styles The differences seem slight between the two – a classic omelette is uncoloured whereas the country style is browned and has more bite to the cooked egg The time taken for each is almost the same but with a few changes in touch we are left with two different results – both beautiful in their own right To serve an omelette with a green salad and a glass of wine is one of life’s simple pleasures These two basic examples show that cooking is a combination of ideas that are built up over a lifetime of exposure and practice It’s impossible to write down what a well-kneaded dough feels like under the palm or the exact technique and sensation of shucking an oyster properly But these things are beautiful because they can be learned In what might be the best first sentence of a cookbook ever written chef Thomas Keller of The French Laundry and Per Se that there is no such thing as perfect food then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear: to make people happy.” Elaborating on this as this gives you the satisfaction of a job wholly well done and results in a superlative dish for you and your guests to enjoy recipes are built from lots of small movements and touches little tasks stacked on top of each other in a particular direction They are the beginning of a Neapolitan tomato sauce but also an essential step to making Vadouvan curry mix and obviously as almost the entirety of a French onion soup Recipes are journeys made up of many small ‘hows’ but in their entirety also provide the ‘why’ but this is only possible because the details are blurred and this is only possible by learning from our mistakes But this all sounds very serious. Cooking can seem like the most serious thing in the world, but it’s also one of the most frivolous, not to mention magical and surreal. Go to the fish market and marvel at the glittering jewels from the sea you will find weird and wonderful pumpkins and squashes of every size and texture lounging next to the drama of a pile of artichokes It is almost mind-bending that from this earthly bounty we craft the sustenance of our lives it is of the utmost importance that we respect these gorgeous offerings To cook well and with attention and precision is to do their sacrifice justice Waste is an abomination and incredibly uncool and you will also find that shopping seasonally is also fiscally responsible – what is in season will be abundant One of the most liberating decisions you can make is to truly relish in the beauty of seasonality we take this into account with our fashion choices from a position of practicality

up and shut it for you Those coffee cups and snack wrappers don’t belong on display Toss them out and avoid the clutter that can quickly make a shared space feel messy it’s not nice to walk into a room that smells like the food from yesterday even though you should probably take it out Just have a schedule so you and your roommate can switch off instead of trying to play the game of Jenga when

viewpoints consider bringing up shared experiences and future plans should not be mentioned at the dinner table this may have ended with peas flying from across the room it’s best to tread around this topic carefully consider how to approach the discussion thoughtfully You should ask yourself: Is this conversation constructive or destructive it’s best to take a really long bathroom break Whether it’s your aunt Kelly or your uncle Bob you never want to bring up divorce or anything of that nature you don’t want to mention your love life unless you want to get berated with questions from relatives that you don’t remember but claim they held you when you were a baby It can turn things quite messy and dampen the festive mood If you hear something about someone and don’t know if it’s true do not bring it up at the Thanksgiving table I know it can be hard to keep secrets from slipping out but this always ends with someone getting upset or spoiling the vibe you can talk with that one cousin of yours but do not bring it up in front of everyone Whether the turkey is dry or the gravy is runny sometimes it’s better to shut up and eat the stuffing especially if you were invited to that Thanksgiving feast Whoever made the food or ordered it will feel bad It’s good to remember that Thanksgiving is not just about the food but the time and effort spent preparing it It’s like trying to mix oil and vinegar; it’s never going to happen It could easily sound like you are bragging even though someone may ask you to bring it up Whether it’s Uncle Dave asking how much you’re making now or Aunt Carol subtly hinting about her “business opportunity,” it’s a trap It’s better to diffuse the question or establish boundaries Whether or not you will have a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season it’s an excellent reminder to look at what we have in our lives and what we should be thankful for Thanksgiving shouldn’t be a dinner with people you don’t like or be forced to coexist with but where we look at ourselves and the world around us I invite everyone to take a moment to reminisce about this past year and find ways to create an ideal ending Download first images Netflix revealed

I stumbled upon a profile of a sixth grader I saw how they had more accolades than I had in my senior year of high school This made me wonder: Should we be on LinkedIn or even thinking about the college admissions process at such an early age While understanding higher education is important starting this process in middle school feels excessive I can’t even recall what I was doing in the sixth grade there was the science fair and the award show but I wasn’t posting about it on LinkedIn I didn’t even know what LinkedIn was back then Seeing people this young hustling to get ahead raises a serious question: why are we doing this I think it’s because of a mix of cultural norms and societal pressures around success It seems these days that success and visibility are closely tied This means that if you haven’t yet posted it or if people don’t know then you’re automatically unsuccessful Has the college admissions process become so demanding that we need to start preparing in middle school Is the pressure so intense that it feels like you must cure cancer to get in Is the competition too rigorous that we need to prepare at an early age The sheer competitiveness of it all makes me reflect on my own application Preparing and cultivating the document that would give me an admission letter was like squeezing water out of stone The constant edits and meticulously curating lists of activities to showcase made the process quite the journey Although it was a heavy task that many of my peers can recall as the worst time in high school it didn’t require showcasing every childhood accomplishment to have a shot I didn’t list when I volunteered at a summer camp when I was 12 or when I won the art award in seventh grade I listed things that I thought genuinely mattered to me the culture behind college applications has become too hostile the demand for college prep advisors has increased since the past Many of the students I’ve encountered at Stanford seem to have had help in the college process in one way or another College prep counselors are expensive and make it hard for those who can’t afford the luxury of having them to keep up I’ve heard things that reinforce these ideas even more I’ve overheard students talking about playing a sport they didn’t even enjoy to make it seem unique on their application or starting a “nonprofit” to make it seem like they cared about a cause This shocked me as I realized the level at which some people would swoop to enter this institution It makes me reflect on how I view them; it allows me to see what they strive for and what they are willing to do for what they want While there are many examples of people who are genuinely passionate about their pursuits it still confirms the sheer competitiveness and intense pressure to stand out are we sacrificing our youth for college admissions The fierce anxiety surrounding the process seems to stem from a fear shared by parents and children: the fear that they’ll fall behind if they don’t do the absolute most While preparing and planning for college is necessary it shouldn’t come at the expense of childhood experiences These experiences are crucial for individuality and development Some students sacrifice time with their family or social bonding Being locked away and consumed by the college admission process strips individuals away from spontaneity and even exploring hobbies for fun rather than for an activities list The never-ending chase for awards and accolades at such an early age feels excessive Is the goal of life really to get into a prestigious university we can lose sight of what truly matters and what we want We shouldn’t sacrifice passion and authenticity for a college decision This is not to say we shouldn’t strive for excellence we must find a middle ground where students can enjoy their youth while pursuing personal and academic achievements Finding and fostering this balance is crucial for their well-being and creating genuine passion and authenticity which should matter more than a well-packaged resume The solution to all of this should start with a look at the definition of success What it means to be “successful” should be defined internally rather than externally and creativity rather than entirely on achievements Educational institutions can also put less pressure on students with standardized test scores or GPAs but look at students holistically I realize that the stress from my junior and senior years was immense and already too much to unpack Definitely not the healthiest period of my life but I felt the need to do it as everyone around me was also so dedicated to this process It makes me think of how much stress these younger students are carrying It almost makes me want to tell them they’ll be alright and I can’t help but question whether starting so young is the answer Whether it’s the standardized system that creates this pressure or the students simply following the crowd behavior we don’t know what it takes to get into a school like Stanford I am sure that it isn’t fair to ourselves to deprive ourselves of memories of youthful experiences that don’t revolve around the college admissions process The college admissions process has undoubtedly become a source of immense pressure pushing students to sacrifice their youth in the race for perfection and authenticity of childhood is equally essential Success shouldn’t come at the expense of mental health or genuine passion And as for a university whose motto is “Die Luft der Freiheit weht” (“the winds of freedom blow”) we should advocate for an admissions process that doesn’t target the elite or wealthy We shouldn’t base admission on a polished resume or a unique activity but rather on uniqueness We should seek for the winds to approach all who strive for it Another Injury for BarcelonaThe injuries in Barcelona do not stop and this time it was Pablo Torre's turn.Barcelona midfielder Pablo Torre will undergo surgery in the coming days

finishing his loan at the red-and-white club who is under contract with Barcelona until 2026 joined new coach Hansi Flick’s squad this week to start the preseason A crumbling stone path leads to three Tudor-style brick houses partly covered by bare overgrown trees perched on elevated ground overlooking College Hill stands another house in slightly better condition but with a crumbling retaining wall and two beer bottles on its lawn these “culture and heritage houses” are now being sold by Washington State University against the recommendation of the College Hill Association which consists of community members who strive to improve and preserve the neighborhood “Those houses are the crown jewels of the College Hill Historic District,” said Allison Munch-Rotolo chair of the College Hill Association board of directors Floyd designated the four properties as the Culture and Heritage Houses During the height of their popularity from 2007-2016 multicultural groups often used the houses for events and meetings; they also held historical artifacts WSU’s Board of Regents wrote in a meeting agenda that they decided to sell the four houses after at least three years of unuse and deterioration “They’ve continued to fall into disrepair,” said Phil Weiler vice president of marketing and communications Last spring, just days before its meeting, the board alerted the College Hill Association of the decision to sell, prompting the association to create a 37-page document detailing the houses’ significance to the university and neighborhood The document was meant to help university officials understand how and why the university first acquired the properties for $1.3 million from 2004-2006 Those purchases predated WSU’s current administration But it is possible one of the reasons WSU pushed for the sale was because its officials do not fully understand the significance of the houses prominent WSU professors lived in the homes associate professor with WSU’s School of Design and Construction “We’re dealing with groups of marginalized and underrepresented people and here was an example of that voice being given and being established,” Gruen said I don’t think the history necessarily goes away That would be a significant loss to the campus the city and really to the state as a whole.” In a July 19 letter to the Board of Regents the association said it “would prefer WSU to retain these properties,” but if the board approves the sale then WSU should nominate the houses for registration with Pullman’s Register of Historic Places through the city’s Historic Preservation Commission That could protect the houses from demolition and major renovations Any major plans for a locally registered property would have to be approved by a review board through the commission state architectural historian with the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation But in a letter to the association last year WSU President Kirk Schulz said the homes will not be listed with the state or local historic preservation committee Historic designations can place limits on the homes “We’ve just been trying to say if you do need to sell them just list them first,” Munch-Rotolo said “That message I’m pretty sure was clear all along and we have never been given a reply as to why they wouldn’t do that.” especially after years of the university telling the College Hill Association that the houses were not being considered for sale Rumors of a possible sale began at least as early as 2015 it was not an issue of whether the university could sell the properties the university denied the homes were being sold The emails said university officials would try to keep the College Hill community “in the loop.” emails from ASWSU and the Board of Regents meeting agenda states talks about a sale were being had within that time frame former ASWSU President Curtis Cohen writes a  university official said other university officials were “looking into it soon” in reference to a possible sale WSU began discussing the sale with university stakeholders in 2018-2019 according to the May 6 Board of Regents meeting agenda “The university didn’t have plans to sell the homes until we did,” Weiler said Cohen said he emphasized to university leaders “that the student voice should remain present in any decisions.” “Every year we have new leadership in ASWSU there isn’t always consistency in opinion from one administration to the next,” Weiler said But previous student administrations had also been against the sale of the houses, according to a 2015 letter to the editor from former ASWSU Vice President Kyle Geiger ASWSU expressed disapproval of a possible sale in 2017 and 2019 according to articles from the Daily Evergreen ASWSU President Brian Patrick learned about the houses during his busy transition into the presidency last fall He said university officials implied the student government had no input in the decision to sell It was something the university had already decided on ASWSU decided to put more focus on student resources that were already in place and see what new resources could be added on campus to make up for the potential loss of the four homes The houses were considered as a place for COVID-positive students to quarantine during the beginning of the pandemic according to a November 2020 email from Cohen The houses were not in use at the time university classes had moved online and few student groups were meeting The houses were never actually used for that purpose 8 letter that the houses “no longer serve our students and One week later, WSU Insider released an article announcing the planned sale of the houses Other specific multicultural spaces on campus include the Compton Union Building’s multicultural student centers and the Elson S The cultural center was meant to serve as a home for multicultural groups as the houses were “taken off the map,” said Rud who is a distinguished professor of cultural studies and social thought in education with the WSU College of Education The university’s shift in focus from the houses to the center was something that happened quietly But the center is on the edge of campus as opposed to the middle of College Hill like the houses and the space is commonly used to host larger events instead of smaller gatherings “We don’t know who might buy them,” Rotolo-Munch said “There’s always the chance someone could come along and buy these and do something amazing that is really uplifting to the neighborhood that brings a new life to these houses.” HISTORY BEHIND THE CULTURE AND HERITAGE HOUSES WSU bought the houses for $1.3 million in a series of purchases from 2004-2006 according to the May 6 Board of Regents agenda meeting the university has spent more than $1.5 million in renovations and maintenance according to the Board of Regents meeting agenda books and music of the cultures they were dedicated to The houses were popular among students during Floyd’s presidency Johnson House was built for the Johnsons in 1933 and is located on 935 NE B St It was later established as the first Heritage House who was a prominent leader and Black Studies scholar on the WSU campus from 1970-1995 the house was redesignated as the Talmadge Anderson Heritage House in honor of Anderson The house currently holds historic collections that will be moved to a different building on campus The university will be moving the artifacts held in the Talmadge Anderson Heritage House to Waller Hall which will be renovated to become a multicultural space accessible to students and Vesta Steele House was built in 1927 and is located on 955 NE B St It originally served as a home for William Kruegal who was the chief accountant for Washington State College Steele who was the head of the physics department Culver House was built in 1927 when Harold served as the head of the geology department and is located at 975 NE B St It was designated as the Native American Culture and Heritage House The three houses were designed by WSU’s main architect at the time and are located within Pullman’s Historic District which was established 2006 and covers 23.7 acres of land The district is noted on the state’s national register and is a ceremonial honor rather than one that preserves any of the properties within it Outside of the historical district stands the Jack and Catherine Friel House is dedicated to Asian American and Pacific Islander students The Native American Culture and Heritage House was closed in fall 2018 after it was water damaged The other three houses were closed in fall 2019 Even at the current half a million price point for each house WSU will still be losing money as it bought the properties for $1.3 million and spent $1.5 million on maintenance The houses are being managed by a broker who is licensed in Washington and Idaho The Native American Heritage House is not in a condition to be sold so it will be undergoing some maintenance Any possible renovations and demolitions will be decided by new buyers unless WSU pulls them off the market “We can’t play favorites as a public agency,” Weiler said He said the university does not have any opinion of what would become of the houses after they are sold there are some restrictions to what could replace them Zoning laws are used to restrict what can or cannot be built on certain pieces of land based on their zoning designation the Native American Culture and Heritage House is classified as R2 A new construction on the property can be for a single family or a residential building that can fit only up to 8 units on the property The other three houses are classified as R4 The properties can hold as many units as its density allows as long as each unit is between 1,000-4,500 square units But it is possible for property owners to petition the city for a zoning change associate professor in WSU’s Department of History led the nomination for national recognition of Pullman’s Historic District which includes the three houses on B Street People live in them and they become part of people’s memory; some of that is transient and some of it is more embedded within communities,” McCoy said you’re losing part of the memory of those places.” Jayce Carral is a journalism student at the Edward R Northwest Public Broadcasting

Nearby in Colonia Juárez, the speakeasies Handshake and Hanky Panky are secretive dimly lit spaces that require advance reservations Located in a former 17th-century monastery in the cobblestoned neighborhood of San Ángel, the hacienda-like San Ángel Inn is a go-to for Cámara “I love to have a margarita or a martini on the patio It’s so beautiful and peaceful there — a true oasis amid the city’s chaos.” García recommends El Zinco for authentic jazz, El Tenampa for classic mariachi music, and the guilty pleasure Patrick Miller for DJs spinning Italo disco and ’80s party jams for enthusiastic crowds High on Cámara’s list, Salón Palomilla is an intimate cocktail bar hidden behind the kitchen of Páramo — an airy Roma hangout that serves gourmet tacos and ceviche well past

“In early February we have Mexico City Art Week,” which extends beyond Zona Maco to include younger, independent fairs such as Feria Material and Salón Acme “The weather is never extreme,” Carral assures Early March is a nice time to visit because the city goes purple with the flowers of Jacaranda trees.” Not unlike the notorious grips of New York City Mexico City has a knack for turning visitors into fanatics — and even full-time residents as you can pretty much find anything and everything here,” Cámara points out diverse population and robust creative class the sense of discovery

during the ceremony at Marvin Picollo School was one of four graduates this year at Picollo Washoe County School District's school for students with severe disabilities have medical conditions that range from being medically fragile because of genetic or hereditary conditions shaken baby syndrome and severe trauma such as car accidents or near drowning Principal Matt Burak says students like Carrall are the ones he fights for -- and why there is a need for Picollo Carral was born with meningitis and has cerebral palsy scoliosis and numerous other health conditions “I am so very grateful to serve in a school district that demonstrates such an enlightened and a progressive approach to meeting the needs of all students within the greater student body,” Burak said A growing body of research is suggesting all students with disabilities should be taught in general education classrooms with support such as a classroom aide or modified classwork “Separation of students with disabilities is a form of segregation,” said David Connor a professor and chairman of the department of special education at Hunter College in New York He has written three books and numerous articles on disability and education “People with disabilities have historically been denied access to many aspects of society “Schooling practices manifest in policies and structures can reinforce these historical experiences of citizens with disabilities.” Other research has drawn similar conclusions Read the entire series on special education in Washoe County here.  The Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education has found students with disabilities who are in age-appropriate general education classes in their neighborhood schools do better The National Longitudinal Transition Study showed that the more time a child spends in a general education classroom the less likely the student was to be absent or have disruptive behavior tracked a sampling of students in high school and then again nine years later The study also showed the more time students with disabilities spent in a general education classroom the more likely they would be be prepared for life after high school head of the University of Kansas Department of Special Education said many schools like Picollo that segregate children with disabilities have closed “There will be a time it won’t be necessary to have a special school for students because there will be understanding on how to educate even the most challenging kids with supports,” she said Kozleski said that when she taught school in the early 1980s she was able to integrate severely medically fragile children into general education classrooms She said many school districts continue to hold on to longtime practices “Inclusive education is really asking schools to accommodate and transform the business of education,” she said Connor agreed but said there are challenges — namely ambiguous laws that dictate how children with disabilities should be educated Some of those laws say students should be educated in "an appropriate setting .. He said it opens the door for liberal and conservative interpretations and everything in between it is something we should all work toward,” he said But Burak is adamant that schools like Picollo give families a choice that he doesn’t want to see go away While some parents have said they have been pressured to enroll their children at Picollo others decide the school and its programs are a better fit "This is an option we know our families want," said Washoe County school board president Angela Taylor "The programs here have been wonderful for my daughter," Carral said "She has loved the interaction with everyone at Picollo." Burak praised the school for what it offers students in Washoe County “Let us leave here tonight as a community knowing that in Marvin Picollo School we demonstrate our commitment to parent choice to providing a rich and viable option to parents of students that happen to have severe disabilities," Burak said Picollo serves as the only vital option to the mainstream campus experience available for their students.” Advocates argue that students with disabilities should be given access to the same programs as all other students “Why can’t children with disabilities have all the same choices?” said Deidre Hammon a disability advocate who has helped thousands of families navigate the special education departments of Nevada school districts Families hire her to help during negotiations when the district outlines the support a student will be given during the year Hammon advocates for children to be allowed to stay in their neighborhood schools have access to technology that may help in the classroom and additional support Hammon believes that schools like Picollo shouldn’t exist “Students don’t need horseback riding or swimming; they need the same kind of things they will need in life where everyone is together,” Hammon said of the extra activities Picollo offers it’s not going to be about horses and swimming.” She said she can see the difference in students who are segregated versus students integrated in schools “Those that are part of their home school with other children do better once they leave school,” she said Hammon argues that many children must endure long bus rides to attend Picollo aren’t given the same access to things available at traditional schools and miss out on building friendships with neighborhood children She also said a school where disabled children are isolated makes it a setting for possible abuse The court documents allege that two 8-year-olds were victims of physical verbal and emotional abuse by a special education teacher during the 2013-14 school year The district said it cannot comment on current litigation The school board is expected to vote on the details of the settlement Tuesday The district said there is a need for a school that can offer comprehensive care for some of the district’s most medically fragile children The school of 124 students in south Reno opened in 1975 the school district's chief student service officer said changes are happening at Picollo as the district addresses its problems with special education Green was hired last year to lead the special education department Green said a social worker will now work with families at Picollo to help coordinate services children may need outside of schooldays Teachers and staff at Picollo will be part of the same professional development given districtwide to help improve results for children with disabilities He also said children from other schools may spend part of the day at Picollo they can’t physically access a regular education classroom we need to bring typical peers to them,” Green said Burak said he will continue to fight for a school like Picollo “I say honor us and come look at us before you make a judgment,” Burak said the school has been a part of helping students who were told they would never walk or talk and others who were told they would never be potty trained such as teaching a student how to use a vending machine -- skills most take for granted “We measure our own successes,” Burak said “Some things can’t be measured by standardized tests.” SaveLog in, register or subscribe to save recipes for
