• Recipe: Mushroom stroganoff delivers flavor without the meat

  22-02-2020 19:14 via ocregister.com
  
  Beef Stroganoff was my mother’s company-dinner entrée. She couldn’t have imagined it without hardy strips of beef. Yet Chef Jamie Oliver sees it another way, without the beef but full of flavor.
  Oliver, who has written 22 bestselling cookbooks and enjoyed a 20-year television career with shows that aim to inspire home cooks to cook from scratch, packs his Stroganoff with wild and domestic mushrooms. Other components boost the texture and taste, including crunchy cornichons (Fr

  SOURCE: TURN
  Electric rates, gas rates, water rates — they go up. And up. And up.
  Policing these regularly scheduled consumer agonies — or rubber-stamping them, as critics often charge — is the job of the California Public Utilities Commission. This powerful regulator is charged with ensuring that rate hikes and policy decisions are fair and justified.
  Not sure the PUC is up to the task alone? Layers have been built in to the system to keep a watchful eye on the regulator that&

• Californians are worried about crime, setting the stage for a ballot measure showdown

  19-04-2024 16:47 via ocregister.com
  
  Democrats completely dominate California’s state government, and one aspect of that hegemony is their ability to act without compunction.
  When doing whatever they want to do, Democratic officeholders don’t have to worry about competition from the state’s shriveled-up Republican Party nor, for the most part, criticism from equally shrunken political media.
  Thus, the Capitol has become an echo chamber rather than a forum for forthright debate about issues.

  Their goal is not only to put on the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach but also to create a community. And often, it’s women who are working to foster that community — for other women, as well as those new to the sport.
