Turkey hash a perfect one-pot meal

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:52:38 GMT

What’s Thanksgiving without some leftover turkey? Even on those rare occasions when I’m not preparing the turkey, I still feel the urge to at least cook a turkey breast to have some leftover.This is a one-pot meal that tastes great the second day. Double the recipe if you have time and save the rest for another day. It also freezes well. Refrigerate or freeze the extra without the fried egg. Add the egg before serving.You don’t need to wait for turkey leftovers. You can buy roasted turkey pieces in the meat department or roasted turkey in the deli. If you buy deli meat, ask them to slice it thick so you can cut it into cubes.Fresh sweet potato can be used instead of frozen; microwave them 4 minutes before adding to the skillet.Roasted chicken can be used instead of turkey.TAG GOES HERETurkey HashINGREDIENTS3/4 pound frozen sweet potato cubes (about 2 1/2-cups)4 teaspoons olive oil, divided use1 cup sliced onion10 ounces cooked turkey boneless, skinless breast and dark meat cut into ...

Dear Abby: Teen’s ‘cheeky’ attire riles mom

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:52:38 GMT

Dear Abby: I am a fairly laid-back mom of a wonderful 13-year-old daughter. Her friends are nice kids, but some of them dress pretty provocatively. I have seen them wear super-short shorts that are very “cheeky” and tops that really expose their assets.We have been invited to a party at a friend’s home, and my daughter is allowed to bring a friend. The friend she has chosen to invite regularly dresses in very provocative attire, and I would feel more comfortable if I knew she was going to dress “appropriately” by my standards.I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to the parents? (Cringe!) Ask my daughter to tell her friend what the dress code is and to convey “Wear something that doesn’t show your butt cheeks”? Or must I ignore it and hope for the best? — Overexposed in Washington, D.C.Dear Overexposed: Many teenage girls let it all hang out in an effort to attract attention. I do not think you should talk to the girl̵...

(2) When Customer B drove through a toll lane, the charge was incorrectlyapplied to Customer J’s account," the lawsuit states. Substitute teacher ar...

South Korea partially suspends inter-Korean agreement after the North says it launched spy satellite

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:52:38 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea will partially suspend an inter-Korean agreement Wednesday to restart frontline aerial surveillance of North Korea, after the North said it launched a military spy satellite in violation of United Nations bans, Seoul officials said.The South Korean announcement — which will likely infuriate North Korea — came hours after the North claimed to have placed a military reconnaissance satellite into orbit in its third such launch attempt this year.The North’s claim hasn’t been independently verified; the Pentagon said it was still assessing the success of the launch, while Japan stated there has been no confirmation that the North Korean satellite entered orbit. But the United States and its allies still quickly condemned the North Korean launch, which they believe was meant to improve the country’s missile technology as well as establish a space-based surveillance system.North Korea says it has sovereign, legitimate rights to launch spy satelli...

Exploding wild pig population on western Canadian prairie threatens to invade northern US states

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:52:38 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An exploding population of hard-to-eradicate “super pigs” in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border, and northern states like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are taking steps to stop the invasion. In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that’s spreading out of control. Ryan Brook, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of Canada’s leading authorities on the problem, calls feral swine, “the most invasive animal on the planet” and “an ecological train wreck.”Pigs are not native to North America. While they’ve roamed parts of the continent for centuries, Canada’s problem dates back only to the 1980s when it encouraged farmers to raise wild boar, Brook said. The market collapsed after peaking in 2001 and som...

Yes, France is part of the European Union’s heart and soul. Just don’t touch its Camembert cheese

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:52:38 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has long known that the way to France’s heart is through its stomach. So, don’t touch the Camembert — never, ever.On Wednesday, legislators at the European Parliament will vote to make sure it doesn’t happen.In one of the many legal proposals on streamlining and optimizing waste management throughout the 27-nation bloc, some French cheese producers sniffed out something and turned it into a culinary stink.They claimed that the proposal would make it illegal for Camembert to be cradled into the wooden packaging for its final weeks of ripening and, eventually, sale. The round box is as essentially Camembert as its onctuous texture and pungent smell.Suddenly, there was a frenzied flutter that something fundamentally French would fall foul of the Brussels bureaucrats — derisively known by many as Eurocrats — who are all too often blamed for flaws real and false.“It is a matter of common sense. Don’t touch our Camemberts!” said Jean-Pa...
