Cauliflower ceviche recipe

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

On the hottest summer days, this is the dish to make because it requires zero cooking. A quick marinade of lemon juice, seaweed and fresh vegetables sets up a flavorful, no-fuss ceviche that tastes like the sea despite having no seafood in it. Store-bought minced or “riced” cauliflower won’t work for this dish. You have to start by grating or mincing a fresh whole head of cauliflower — that extra step will be more than worth the work it requires. ¡Buen provecho!Yield: 4 servingsTotal time: 45 minutesIngredients1 small cauliflower (2 pounds), leaves removed1 serrano chile, seeded and minced1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 large lemons), plus lemon wedges for serving1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil2 teaspoons minced nori sheets, nori flakes or granulated kelp1 teaspoon wakame, minced or crushed (optional)1 teaspoon liquid aminos or soy sauce1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for servingCoarse sea salt and black pepper2 ripe medium Hass avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice1 ...

Netflix has done away with its most affordable ad-free option for subscribers. Netflix has removed its $9.99 advertising-free Basic plan in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The move doesn't affect people who already have the Basic plan, but it does force new subscribers to either sign up for a $6.99 Standard with Ads tier, the $15.49 Standard without Ads tier, or the $19.99 Premium option. City investigating after trees cut near Universal property on strike day "The Basic plan is no longer available for new or rejoining members," Netflix posted on its FAQ page as of Wednesday morning. "If you are currently on the Basic plan, you can remain on this plan until you change plans or cancel your account."According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix executives said the ad tier draws higher revenue per subscriber than the Basic tier they just got rid of.

'UPS dug their heels in': Teamsters UPS strike plans emerge, could affect 30% of parcels

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

Spirits are high among the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters as negotiations with shipping giant UPS stay frozen ahead of a July 31 contract negotiation deadline, The Hill found in a range of interviews.If the Teamsters strike, some 340,000 drivers, warehouse workers and other employees could walk off the job in one of the largest labor actions in U.S. history.The potential strike is part of surging labor activity in the U.S. and around the world as a result of elevated inflation, which central banks have been attempting to fend off by raising interest rates in an attempt to take the wind out of the labor market.In the interim, companies have been raking in record profits during the recovery from the pandemic, changing the distribution of value in the economy from labor payments to returns on investment.Teamsters president Sean O’Brien told The Hill that the economic model must change, and UPS needs to start forking over more of its profits to improve the working conditions...

Get Tori Amos to the Greek (On One Leg)

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

Get Tori Amos to the Greek (On One Leg): You have to hand it to Tori — she recently broke her leg on this tour but has soldiered on wearing a cast. For an artist who spends a lot of time hitting those piano pedals, that’s not a small feat for her feet. Tow’rs also plays.We spoke to her last year as she was about to play some L.A. shows and she said that, “I lived there for seven and a half years, when big hair was the thing. I lived in L.A. at a specific time. I was in my twenties – I moved there when I was 21. I was all over the Canyons, in the Valley, and driving my little wannabe Mustang – a baby blue Capri – all over the place. Playing piano bars anywhere I could.”It was the events on January 6, combined with Cornish mythology and the environment, that inspired Ocean to Ocean.“It’s all of it, and it’s also having to get out even in the wintery Cornish weather – when the gales are blowing and the gusts of wind – it can be ferociously beautiful because it’s so powerful,” Amo...

Puppet Up! Uncensored Offers Fuzzy Grown-up Fun

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

Brian Henson (Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island), and actor Patrick Bristow (Ellen, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Whose Line Is It Anyway?) have popped up again for Summer with their wild improv experience Puppet Up! – Uncensored. The show boasts that it’s “never the same show twice” but the stars of the show do have a consistent thread (well, many threads)– they are cloth, felt and faux fur creatures come to life thanks to Henson top puppeteers.Suggestions from the audience create the storyline but expect these “Miskreant puppets” to do the unexpected. The Miskreant Puppets, by the way, have been seen in Henson Alternative productions such as the film The Happytime Murders, and Coldplay’s recent music video “Biutyful.” The unusual show has a unique element that those who’ve never seen it might not expect as well– the improvised puppet presentation is projected live on big screens, but guests also get to watch the puppeteers moving around on stage, making for a ...

Taste-Off: The best sour cream and onion potato chips at Bay Area markets

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

If there is such a thing as the ultimate picnic food, it has to be potato chips. They’re a grab-and-go snack that goes with any menu, and they hit all the right notes — salty, crunchy, familiar and satisfying.Regular potato chips are great, but when the mood hits for a flavor tweak, its time to reach for the sour cream and onion-flavored variety. Crazy popular — second only to BBQ chips — sour cream and onion are an addictive nibble. If they’re made right.Infusing a chip with those flavors is a tricky process involving more science than cookery. Most recipes incorporate a handful of powdered flavorings, such as sour cream, whey, buttermilk, onion, parsley and some form of sugar. Finding just the right blend requires a great palate — and precision. Some brands lean so hard on buttermilk powder that it buries the flavor of the potato. Others add so little onion or sour cream that the result is bland and underwhelming.The best sour cream and onion chips are crispy rounds that balance p...

USWNT hopes its record diverse World Cup roster will inspire next-gen stars

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

By Kevin Baxter, Los Angeles TimesSAN JOSE, Calif. — As a child growing up just across the East River from Manhattan, Crystal Dunn played soccer. She didn’t have a lot of teammates — or opponents — who looked like her, however. Neither did Lynn Williams, who grew up in Central California, or Naomi Girma, who was born into an immigrant family in San Jose.“It hasn’t been the easiest road, obviously,” said Dunn, one of two Black players on her club team, the Portland Thorns. “There were moments where I felt like I needed to conform to the environment and say ‘OK, let me tone down who I am.’ “That moment might have passed because the team the U.S. will field in this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is the most diverse in history. The 23-player roster includes a record seven Black women and two Mexican Americans. There are three gay players and three others who became mothers since the last World Cup.Then ...
