Recipe: A cherry pie recipe that’s as sweet (or sour) as you want it to be

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:05:36 GMT

Apple pie may rule fall, but cherry pie is summer’s queen, lording over all other flavors for the few brief weeks when fresh cherries are in season. Because, while cherry pies made with frozen fruit are perfectly delightful, nothing beats the juicy bite of seasonal cherries, baked until syrupy and wrapped in a buttery crust.The only question is, sour cherries or sweet? Each has its virtues. Sweet cherries are complex and gently spicy, with a crisp flesh that holds its shape even after baking. Sour cherries are tangier and more perfumed, with a tendency to break down to something between a compote and a glossy jam. You can make this recipe using either kind of cherry, with a few small adjustments.To play up the acidity of mellow sweet cherries, I stir the grated zest and juice of a lemon into the fruit. Lime also works, adding floral notes along with its bite. You can skip this step with sour cherries, which are born zippy.Sour cherries do need more sugar than sweet, but how much mor...

Recipes: The secrets to an excellent sandwich

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:05:36 GMT

Carefully considered and seasoned, each layer of the Surfer, a turkey sandwich Matt Cahn serves at his Middle Child in the heart of Philadelphia, locks into place. The melty Swiss cheese, the spiced blueberry chutney, the vinaigrette-dressed arugula and the housemade deli turkey sit atop a thick smear of Duke’s mayonnaise inside a toasted ciabatta roll. The sandwich has nary a dry bit, and the precision of flavors is illuminating.Anything that good takes refining. The idea began with a smoked turkey and Brie panini smeared with blueberry jam from a sandwich shop in Maine, where Cahn spent summers with an old girlfriend. He slowly fine-tuned his own version for surfing trips over the years, even making his own jam from wild blueberries he picked from the backyard.The relationship didn’t last, but the memories of that time live on as one of the most popular items at Middle Child, the bustling modern sandwich shop he opened in 2017. It’s not always easy to serve something that makes cu...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Do I have to disclose my arrest record on a job application?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Shelby and it's about a mistake she made 25 years ago. Here's her email. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. Here's a dilemma. Over the last five years I’ve changed jobs twice. Both times to a better position with better pay, and I’m considering trying my luck again soon. Each time I get a new job, I disclose an arrest from when I was 19-years-old. It was a misdemeanor that was over 25 years ago, the charges were dropped after I entered a pre-trial program, and I have long since had my record expunged. Do I need to keep disclosing this to potential employers? Should I just pretend it never happened even if they ask specifically if I’ve ever been arrested? Thanks so muchShelbyI think if Shelby's record has been expunged, there is no need for her to disclose the information, especially since it was 25 years ago. But, if they ask specifically, then I thin...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:05:36 GMT

ST. LOUIS - The 2023 season has been far from the standard of St. Louis Cardinals baseball. Heading out of the All-Star break, the St. Louis Cardinals will carry a 38-52 record and stand 11 games back of their closest path to postseason. At their current pace, the Cardinals are on track for a 68-94 record, which would be the team's worst finish in nearly a century. The season has been filled with challenges and frustration for St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak. This is his 28th year in the St. Louis Cardinals organization and 16th year as the team's lead executive. Four MLB All-Stars who could be Cardinals right now, and why they aren’t The 2023 season: An enigma unlike anything he's ever conquered. Blowout defeats. Comeback efforts just short. Late-game heartbreakers. All after one of the more memorable seasons in recent history that saw two franchise icons retire in Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. So what now? Just before the All-Star break, M...

Ask Amy: Grandma doesn’t adhere to parents’ rules

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:05:36 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband and I work full-time jobs and are fortunate to have weekly childcare for our children (ages 9 and 13) through our parents, all of whom live nearby. However, we recently learned that “Grandma A” has been doing things we have explicitly asked her not to do.For example, we don’t allow our children to be on social media and Grandma A helped our older child create an account to use at her house.We have also asked Grandma A to limit junk foods, but she gives them unlimited amounts (in addition to our children being at risk for being overweight, they then also don’t have an appetite for the dinners I make on the days they go to her house). I’ve also explained to Grandma A why we have these rules (including that these are recommendations from our pediatrician), but she continues to ignore them.I’d like to limit visits to her house to only once a week and have the other grandparents cover the rest of the week (they would be happy to), but my husband thinks it’s unfair an...
