Hard seltzer remains an ‘it’ drink
I know I am revealing my age when I say that the last time I remember an alcohol craze like this it was wine coolers. I was barely scraping legal when they were super-hot in the 1980s, but I knew there was an “it drink.” The most recent “it drink”...
‘Ultimate’ mac ‘n cheese uses 4 cheeses, crumbled cracker topping
My love of certain cheeses is no secret in this test kitchen, yet I’ve never had much interest in cooking that ultimate comfort food, mac ‘n cheese — well, except for the lobster mac ‘n cheese recipe I shared in April. That’s one great dish. Yet when I stumbled on...
Enjoy these spicy wings this Labor Day weekend
These sweet and spicy chicken wings are baked in the oven and then crisped under the broiler. It’s perfect for the upcoming holiday weekend or anytime. I separated the drumettes from the flats for easier serving. Microwaving the potatoes for the potato salad shortens the cooking time and means there’s...

Westmoreland County coaches give The Birdie the old ‘social distancing’ treatment
The Birdie has been asked to social distance before so the concept is not altogether new to the local prep football expert. “More than 6 feet, usually,” he said. “More like six football fields. Sometimes I wonder if people don’t really like me.” Even before covid-19 wrapped its claws around...

Waldier brothers hope to provide winning combination for Yough football
It’s been a little more than a year since Tristan Waldier’s sophomore season at Yough came to a drastic, premature end. The Cougars’ starting quarterback suffered a season-ending injury after a hit to the knee during a Week Zero matchup against Serra Catholic Aug. 23. The injury occurred after Waldier...
Northeastern University kicks out 11 students over party, keeps their $36,500 semester tuition
Does 11 people hanging out count as a “party?” Northeastern University dismissed 11 students Friday after they held a small party in a hotel room Wednesday, the school announced in a news release. The 11 students “are no longer part of the Northeastern community for the fall semester.” All 11...

Hurricane trackers focus on 3 potential systems as Omar fades away
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tropical Depression Omar was hanging on to its strength Saturday but was expected to soon fade into a remnant low. After it dissipates, the tropics will remain a busy place as the National Hurricane Center tracks three systems with odds of development in the Atlantic. Omar was...
Why you can’t get a quick, simple, at-home covid-19 test
SAN JOSE, Calif. — There’s a covid-19 test that is as routine, simple and quick as brushing your teeth. But it’s not legal for widespread use. Yet. Frustrated by restrictions on an approach that could ease the pandemic, the Bay Area tech community is helping lead a growing national effort...
Sounding off: What I’ve learned from covid-19
Since March 2020 when this pandemic started, I have learned that this virus is very intelligent. I had expected people to be dropping dead in the streets based on the media hype, but the virus seems to have evolved so much in the past five months that it: • Understands...
Letter to the editor: We have plenty to lose under Trump
The letter “Democratic Party hijacked” (Aug. 8, TribLIVE) typifies President Trump’s supporters and Republicans in general, people able to ignore facts. I believe when Trump’s lips move, he lies. In my opinion, he is corrupt, incapable and dangerous and has crippled our country. The letter had no mention of the...
Letter to the editor: Gov. Wolf’s pot plot to control guns
Gov. Tom Wolf wants to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes to help small business make up for covid-19 losses (“Gov. Tom Wolf wants Pa. to legalize marijuana, provide more covid-19 relief this fall”).Nice, but no cigar. In my opinion, this is just a backdoor plot to control gun possession in...
Letter to the editor: Truth about radical socialists
The occupation and shutdown of part of Seattle and the lawless defacement of public statues is just another example that there is nothing radical socialists won’t do, given their ideology based on a not-so-subtle determinism: “If it’s inevitable, then whatever we do is OK.” All of the left’s ideological heroes...
