Have tomatoes to spare? We’ve got you covered, with recipes and ideas.

The tomato plants in my raised garden beds are heavy with fruit, so plentiful now that I just can’t keep up. My family and neighbors imbibed for a while, but now groan each time I nudge, “Eat more tomatoes!”And should the weather hold, it looks like I could be picking them until mid-October — or later.Related: Is your tomato harvest really late this year? You’re not alone.So far this summer, I’ve made a few caprese salads, tomato omelets, BLTs, bruschetta with roasted tomato and brie, tomato-cucumber (also from my garden) salad, and just roasted up some super-sweet hybrid cherry tomatoes with garlic, oregano and onion without having any idea what I would be doing with them.

Aurora becomes 13th city in Colorado to outlaw selling cats and dogs in pet stores

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:23:31 GMT

Pet stores in Aurora will soon be prohibited from selling cats and dogs in their stores unless they have come directly from animal shelters or nonprofit animal rescues, making Aurora the 13th city in the state to implement such a ban as cities try to crack down on puppy mills.Aurora doesn’t have any pet stores that sell dogs and cats — the city shut down its last one in March 2020 because of unpaid taxes — but the new regulation, set to take effect Oct. 1, will prevent any future pet stores from doing so. Advocacy by Aurora residents prompted City Council members Danielle Jurinsky and Juan Marcano, many times at opposite ends of legislation, to jointly sponsor the proposal.“The hope is that we don’t have puppy mill dogs coming into Aurora,” Jurinsky said. She added that she thinks the rest of the state should follow suit.Colorado state lawmakers attempted to outlaw the sale of cats and dogs in retail stores in 2020, but even a significantly watered-down version of ...

wAFF Slaps that Funk: British dance music artist wAFF got his start performing at arts college, studying dancing and acting.“I used to be a sick street dancer ha which is quite funny to people when I tell them as I just look like Frodo is trying to take the ring back to Mordor… not a dancer,” he says with a laugh. “But my dance teacher would take all the dance class to nights out at house music events which was new to me then. So, after spending every weekend in clubs dancing my tits off to house music, one day I just decided to download fruity loops and try attempt making music. Turned out I became so addicted to it that I quit my college to pursue music. I was about 17 at the time, and by the time I was 18 I was going in the clubs in Hull (UK) the city where I lived back then. My life took a turn to music suddenly, but it just felt right and it seems as though it all worked out ha. But it didn’t really get serious until my very first proper show I played, like my...

SANTA CLARA — Former city attorney Brian Doyle, a fierce critic of the San Francisco 49ers’ management of Levi’s Stadium, is suing the city two years after his firing, contending the Santa Clara City Council terminated him unlawfully and in retaliation for whistleblowing.The city and the NFL team were locked in several legal battles during Doyle’s four-year tenure, and his lawsuit said he sought “to hold the San Francisco 49ers to account” — well before the political makeup of the council began to shift.Doyle said he first became skeptical of the City Council’s motives regarding the NFL team ahead of a Dec. 8, 2020, council meeting in which Councilmember Raj Chahal had requested a closed-door meeting to discuss a lawsuit involving the California Voting Rights Act and a proposed change in electing city councilmembers.The request to put it on the Dec. 8 agenda was denied, prompting Chahal to ask for it to be placed on the Dec. 15 agenda,...

Restored Delta tidal marsh fights climate change and attracts wildlife, native species

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:23:31 GMT

Once eyed for thousands of homes, the recently restored Dutch Slough tidal marsh in east Contra Costa County is already flourishing as a new habitat for fish and wildlife, a living laboratory for scientists and one of the world’s strongest sinks for absorbing and storing carbon long-term.Led by the state Department of Water Resources, the ambitious $73 million project to restore 1,187 acres of freshwater Delta tidal wetlands near Oakley – one of the largest such projects in the state – is a little more than half finished. When it is completed, the scientists are hoping it will become a model for future restoration projects, climate change defenses and scientific research.“It’s taking in carbon at a rate compared to the top 1 percentile (of all ecosystems) in the world (annually),” said Katie Bandy, the department’s Dutch Slough Tidal Marsh Restoration project manager. “It’s taking in a lot more carbon than other land is producing.”That’s important, because many scientists beli...

Opinion: California lawmakers should reject last-minute insurance scheme

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:23:31 GMT

Insurance lobbyists are scheming with Sacramento officials to neuter the consumer protections of insurance reform Proposition 103 as part of a last-minute industry bailout that will cost California homeowners, renters and condo owners potentially thousands of dollars every year.Proposition 103, approved by California voters in 1988 after a David vs. Goliath battle at the ballot box, bars insurance price-gouging. Companies must prove that the premiums they want to charge are necessary to cover projected claims, reasonable expenses and a fair profit. Unique in the nation, the initiative has saved Californians hundreds of dollars annually on their auto and property insurance — which is why the insurance industry badly wants to derail it.The deal being brokered in Sacramento would also bail insurers out of their responsibilities under the California FAIR Plan. That’s a state-created, but industry-controlled, operation through which people who aren’t able to purchase coverage from ...
