Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove) said on the floor Tuesday that he knew at least one person who got married at 12 years old and followed up with a comment of "Guess what, they're still married." State Rep.

ST. LOUIS - If you plan to attend a St. Louis Cardinals game in the future, you might notice games ending sooner due to MLB's new pace-of-play rules. For now, the same also applies to alcohol sales at the games.The St. Louis Cardinals announced Wednesday that the team will not extend alcohol sales past the traditional cutoff point of the seventh inning. RELATED - Jordan Walker matches MLB record for rookie-debut hitting streak That means, whether the game is a fast pitcher's duel that wraps up in around two hours or slugfest that stretches well beyond average pace, the end of the seventh inning will remain the last call for beer and other alcohol sales.

The division-rival Milwaukee Brewers were the first team to announce extended hours last week. In Missouri, the Kansas Ci...

There’s so much to love about tofu

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:04:42 GMT

By Andrea Nguyen, The New York TimesThese are good times for tofu lovers, with an expanding market and growing options.When Jenny Yang bought the Chicago-based company Phoenix Bean in 2006, she was keeping it from going out of business. Now, she is among a number of producers who are expanding offerings to include items like Chinese-style smoked tofu and tofu noodles.“Tofu is not just a block,” said Yang, whose small-batch products feature local ingredients like Illinois soybeans grown specifically for her brand and Great Lakes water. “We have baked, we have shredded tofu, we have flavored.”Tofu is a staple of cooking in China, where it was invented 2,000 years ago, and throughout Asia. In the United States, tofu consumption has roughly doubled — to 9% of domestic households — since before the pandemic, according to Pulmuone Foods, the country’s leading producer.
