Hints From Heloise

Get good portion control with a tin Dear Heloise: Portion sizes used to get out of hand in my kitchen until I put a muffin tin to use in a new way. Instead of guessing or overfilling bowls, I now divide snacks into each cup, which creates instant portion control without any measuring tools.

This method has also been especially helpful for children since portions are clearly visible and snack time feels more engaging. During meal prep, ingredients stay organized and ...

Standing firm when family is divided

Dear Annie: Hopefully you can help me. I’ve read your column for years. My two kids are adults and have kids of their own, and they have always gotten along. However, last Thanksgiving, my son and his family decided not to stay when they found out my granddaughter was there. My granddaughter is gay and was recently married last fall to her partner.

Maxwell Tani, an alumnus of the leftist Daily Beast website, worried out loud about Moore in a story at Semafor that they headlined in an email “The Sinclair Sun vs. Wes Moore.” Beware, Democrats: “Investigative journalists with The Baltimore Sun and the local ...

Artemis II and socialism

Watching the enthusiasm, especially among people younger than me, over the Artemis II mission around the moon, recalled that the last men to land on the lunar surface did so in December 1972. Two generations have been born since then and for them the excitement of a powerful rocket and the danger involved in such a mission is something new. This is about to come true with socialism as it is being imposed in New York City by Major Zohran Mamdani, its longtime American “prophet,” Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and others in and out of Congress. Many younger people who voted for ...
