Born in wartime, the baby had not eaten in more than a day, his father said — no formula, no nothing. The baby, Jihad, and his parents, Nour Barda and Heba al-Arqan, were trapped now in a storage closet with five other people at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza last month as Israeli troops attacked. The Israeli military had surrounded the building and told anyone sheltering inside to stay put. All his parents could do now was sit and watch their son go hungry. Hungry herself, Ms. al-Arqan had no breast milk to give.

Dredging the chicken involved dipping it in an egg mixture and the flour mixture. Lucien Formichella for InsiderThe dredging process went well, though I definitely should've made more. It was relaxing to drop the chicken into the flour mixture, then the eggs, then back in the flour. Lucien Formichella for InsiderAfter putting the chicken in the air fryer, I genuinely wondered how the tenders would turn out because Popeyes chicken has such a distinct flavor. I left the second precisely as it came out of the bowl, figuring more of the flour mixture would stick to it.

For you, then, this incredible bourbon-braised beef (above) that Vallery Lomas developed for us. The whiskey adds a fantastic complexity to a cheap cut of boneless beef chuck burbled with maple syrup, caramelized tomato paste, thyme, bay leaves and hints of both soy sauce and lemon juice.

☆ Lively and Elegant and Not at All Dry Chicken Breasts

Getting chicken breasts right is a flex, but a tricky one. The delicate white meat, so low in fat, can go from supple to chalky in only one distracted, phone-checking, heartbreaking minute. Pierre Franey’s five-star recipe for chicken breasts with lemon solves this problem by searing the chicken quickly on both sides until golden brown and then building a sauce in the same skillet. The pan sauce is rich and tangy, filled with shallots, thyme, two full teaspoons of grated lemon zest and, of course, butter (a French cook’s answer to most things). And the chicken emerges tender and redolent of citrus and herbs.

New York CNN —Typically, Pepsi is best with a hot dog… not on a hot dog. The beverage brand is making its first-ever condiment — called “Pepsi Colachup” — that is actually infused with Pepsi. Beginning with a Pepsi reduction, the sauce is infused with a variety of ingredients such as smoked tomatoes; a blend of spices including cinnamon, thyme, oregano and paprika; plus onions and ketchup. That results in a “sweet, citrusy taste” of a crisp-tasting Pepsi, created to bring out the spicy flavor notes of a hot dog, Danzi told CNN. The sauce is part of Pepsi’s two-year-old “Better with Pepsi” ad campaign, which ultimately hopes to chip away at Coca-Cola’s drink dominance.
