AdvertisementWe let Costco handle Thanksgiving dinner by ordering a premade meal from the warehouse chain's site. Our delicious dinner required little work to reheat, giving us more time to spend with family. I love the holiday season and all the delicious food it brings — so much so that I've even cooked an entire Thanksgiving from Ina Garten recipes. The $230 Thanksgiving dinner, provided by food distribution company Fortune Fish and Gourmet, was $50 off for Costco members when I preordered, making it just $180. AdvertisementHere's what it was like to let Costco handle our early Thanksgiving dinner, which we planned for when my mother-in-law would be in town.

AdvertisementI moved from the US to Canada for my husband's job and family. If we had stayed in the US, we could have never afforded the surrogacy for our second child. Much like my first date with my now husband, I immediately connected with our potential surrogate upon our first meeting. I met her husband and their three amazing kids, and by the following day, we were discussing the next steps. But living in Canada gave me the chance to grow our family, something we could've never afforded had we stayed in the US.

Courtesy of 3MTo use it, you download a phone app, point Pestiscand at the fruit or vegetable, and tap the scan button, Subash told Business Insider. Holger Leue/Getty ImagesEven though washing produce may not remove all pesticides, it's one of the best ways to reduce your exposure, de Montagnac said. She recommends washing for 15 to 60 seconds depending on the produce — for produce that typically contains a lot of pesticides, wash longer.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump continues to repeat his lie that US schools are sending children for gender-affirming surgeries without their parents’ consent — even though his own presidential campaign could not find a single example of this having happened. Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. There is no evidence that schools in any part of the United States have sent children for gender-affirming surgeries without their parents’ approval, or performed unapproved gender-affirming surgeries on site; none of that is “allowed” anywhere in the country. Even in the states where gender-affirming surgery is legal for people under age 18, parental consent is required before a minor can undergo such a procedure. Taylor outlined a lengthy process before a minor might undergo a gender-affirming surgery.
