Honey glazed stir-fried pork a dinner delight

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

The combination of soy sauce, honey and sherry adds a sweet glaze to this stir-fried pork tenderloin. I added Chinese noodles and broccoli florets to complete this easy meal. These noodles can be found dried in the Asian section of the market or steamed in the produce section. They only need a few minutes to cook. You can use angel hair pasta instead.I use a small amount of sherry with soy sauce. If you don’t have sherry on hand, you can buy it in small bottles or splits in a wine store. Or use unsalted chicken broth instead.You can use regular sesame oil instead of toasted sesame oil.If using dried noodles instead of fresh, boil 2 to 3 minutes longer.TAG GOES HEREHoney Glazed Stir-Fried PorkINGREDIENTS1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce1 tablespoon dry sherry1 tablespoon honey1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes3/4 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2-inch strips1/4 pound fresh or steamed Chinese noodles4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided use1/4 pound broccoli florets2 cups slice...

Millard: Warrior Call focuses on those suffering after serving

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

It was a day Frank Larkin will never forget. In April 2017, his son Ryan F. Larkin, a Navy SEAL who was struggling following his return to civilian life, committed suicide in the basement of the family’s home.“He was wearing his SEAL Team 7 T-shirt, red, white, and blue board shorts, and illuminated a shadow box next to where he was,” said Larkin as he choked up while talking with DCJournal.He had just recounted how his son fought a losing battle not only inside his own head but with the Veterans Administration. “He says… ‘All they do is keep writing me prescriptions and these drugs, I don’t even feel like I’m in my own body.’ And he said to me, ‘I’m banged up inside.’”Government statistics say there were 6,146 veteran suicide deaths in 2020, almost 60% higher than non-veteran adults. The next year, 519 active-duty members of the Armed Forces took their own lives.Larkin, a former Navy SEAL and Secret Service agent who also served as the 40th U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms, used his so...

Editorial: Migrant surge on collision course with housing crisis

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

As Joe Biden tackles the border/migrant crisis one bungle at a time, the unanswered question is this: “What happens next?”Gov. Maura Healey, like leaders of other states buckling under the strain of a never-ending migrant influx, is on board with Biden’s short-term solution bonanza.As the Herald reported, the Healey Administration and the White House announced a plan to help some new arrivals secure employment.During the week of Nov. 13, officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the Bay State will host a “work authorization clinic” for migrant families currently living in state-provided housing.“We are glad that the Biden-Harris Administration is hosting this clinic with us, which will help process work authorizations as efficiently as possible. Many shelter residents want to work but face significant barriers to getting their work authorizations,” Healey said.“This clinic will be critical for building on the work that our administration has already be...

Dear Abby: Family wants friendship with gay man to end

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

Dear Abby: I live in a rural community in southern Indiana. It’s an “everyone goes to church on Sunday, and everyone knows everyone” kind of place. I was employed at the local health care center here for almost four years before quitting to become a full-time caregiver and homemaker.During my time at the health care facility, I became acquainted with an elderly gentleman. We became good friends, and remain good friends to this day. I visit with him several times a week, when time allows, and we talk on the telephone.The problem is, his family doesn’t like that I am a homosexual male and that I have such a close relationship with him. He does not want me to stop visiting, nor do I want to. What can I do to make everyone relax, so he and I can still remain good friends without someone disapproving? — Unappreciated FriendDear Friend: I wish I understood exactly what the family’s objection is to your friendship with this person. Are they afraid you ar...

Concert review: Tool celebrated Halloween at Xcel Energy Center with an evening of heavy tunes

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

There’s something quite appropriate about seeing long-running art metal band Tool on Halloween. Tuesday night, the foursome filled St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center with a series of lengthy, dark and heavy songs delivered with an impressive ferocity from a band that released their debut album 30 years ago.Then again, Tool is not like most bands. They exist in their own world and take exacting care on everything from their songs to their record sleeves to their live performances. They’re released a mere five albums over the past three decades, each denser and more intricate than the last.In concert, they perform under dim, or sometimes absent, spotlights, with lead singer Maynard James Keenan acting as a sort of anti-frontman who is far more comfortable hanging out in the shadows by drummer Danny Carey. Guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor stand up front, but don’t do much beyond standing there and playing their instruments.But Tool makes it work and...

Supreme Court confronts the question of trademark rights in ‘Trump too small’ case

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:38 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Another day, another Supreme Court case with a mention of former President Donald Trump.In arguments Wednesday, the justices will weigh a California man’s attempt to trademark a phrase mocking the former president and current Republican front-runner for 2024 as “too small.”Following a day of arguments in social media cases with echoes of Trump, the Justice Department is supporting President Joe Biden’s once and possibly future rival in urging the court to deny a trademark for the suggestive phrase “Trump too small” that Steve Elster wants to put on T-shirts.Government officials said the phrase “Trump too small” could still be used, just not trademarked because Trump had not consented to its use. But a federal appeals court said refusing trademark registration violated free speech rights.The high court has considered a raft of Trump-related cases in recent years. The justices have dealt with cases about Trump’s claims of fraud in the 2000 election and with his...
