If you grow your own cutting garden, you’ll have beautiful flower bouquets all season long

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:48:13 GMT

Every spring, I cut fragrant lilac stems from the two bushes flanking my front gate and set them in a vase indoors, where their fragrance perfumes the entire first floor better than any scented candle or diffuser could. In summer, some of my hydrangeas and roses make it indoors too, their blossoms commanding attention in a vase on my dining room table. Almost every flower can be cut and enjoyed indoors, but growing a proper cutting garden takes a bit of planning, and the first step is to consider your flowers as a crop to be harvested. Just as some tomato varieties are preferred for use in sauces, some flowers are better for cutting and arranging than others.Those with short stems, for instance, don’t lend themselves to a second act in a vase. Ditto those with fragile blossoms, which would wither indoors within a day. Seed catalogs offer the greatest selections, and their descriptions often include whether flowers are appropriate for cutting and arranging.Annuals and perennials both...

75-year-old Roy Hodgson signs a 1-year contract to manage Crystal Palace in the Premier League

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:48:13 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — After saving Crystal Palace from relegation, 75-year-old Roy Hodgson was rewarded Monday with a one-year contract to manage the Premier League club.The deal comes two years after Hodgson ended his first spell at the club and announced his retirement from soccer.“I am immensely pleased and proud to be extending my time at Crystal Palace,” Hodgson said. “I know what a fantastic squad we have here. It’s a great blend of youth and potential, alongside experienced players with Premier League and international pedigree.”Hodgson, who turns 76 next month, just can’t seem to keep away from the sport.His departure from Palace in 2021 was supposed to signal the end of his 45-year managerial career, which saw him take charge of clubs such as Inter Milan and Liverpool, as well as the England national team.But he was tempted out of retirement for a short spell at Watford in 2022 and then again last season when Palace came calling with the club only thr...

For barbecue season and July 4, grill a whole spiced chicken — without the seasoning sliding off

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:48:13 GMT

A grilled whole chicken that’s deeply and perfectly browned yet still juicy can be hard to pull off at home. But a couple easy tricks ensure success for your Fourth of July barbecue.First, we spatchcock the bird, which involves cutting out the backbone of a whole chicken and pressing down on the breast bone to flatten it. This puts the dark and light meat on the same plane, so they finish cooking at the same time.Second, we maximize the flavor of the spices by rubbing them under and over the skin. That’s because while chicken skin can be a good thing — it reduces moisture loss during cooking by drip and evaporation— it also can make it hard for seasoning and meat to meld. Applying them under the skin helps them stay in place and have direct contact with the meat for more impactful flavor.The flavoring for this dish, from our book “The New Rules,” which rethinks familiar dishes to change the way you cook, is based on an Iraqi spice-rubbed chicken. To save time, we shorten the l...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:48:13 GMT

(CNN) — A Maine woman was bitten Friday after she punched a bear in the face after it started chasing her dog.The woman, 64-year-old Lynn Kelly, was working in her backyard in Porter, which hugs the New Hampshire border, when her dog started barking and ran into the woods, according to a news release from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.Kelly told CNN affiliate WMUR that when her dog returned, he was being chased by a bear.“I ran over to where he had gone down and kept calling him and calling him, and he finally came running back up. And right behind him was the bear,” Kelly told the news station. “The bear looked at me, and I looked at the bear. I think we both scared each other.”The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says in its release that, “Kelly confronted the bear head-on, and when the bear stood up, she stood up as tall as she could, then punched the bear in the nose.”That’s when the bear bit her in her right hand and left puncture wounds in he...

Orkxit? Orkney islanders mull replacing London with Oslo

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:48:13 GMT

Some on the tiny Orkney Islands want to look at alternatives to British rule.The archipelago, located off the coast of Scotland, has been part of Britain since 1472 but amid an ongoing dispute over funding for ferry connections, the Orkney Islands Council (OIC) leader, James Stockan, wants a rethink — including potentially reconnecting with the territory’s Nordic roots.“We are really struggling at the moment, we have to replace the whole ferry fleet,” Stockan told BBC radio on Monday of the reasons for a reform proposal. “We are denied the things that other areas get.”Stockan has put forward a motion to be discussed Tuesday which includes modeling the 23,000-strong territory on the Isle of Man, a self-governing crown dependency, or on Channel Islands Guernsey and Jersey, which have never formally been a part of the United Kingdom.But the Faroe Islands, a dependency of Denmark, and Norway are also options.“We were part of the Norse kingdom for much...
