Wild Rice Hotdish and Chickens
Wild Rice from this year's harvest. Makes a delicious hot dish or casserole for a potluck or catered meal. It would be catered by a friend. It was for a friends' son-in-laws funeral. Potlucks aren't like the potlucks of old. When she asked if I might make the wild rice hotdish, how could I say no.

Researchers uncover the underlying mechanics of word propagation.
The term "roly-poly," which refers to the little, grey crustacean that curls into a ball, was exclusive to the South in the 1950s. The term had swept the nation forty-five years later. No textbook taught it, and no broadcaster promoted it.

Confessions of an Adult Picky Eater
Let me ask everyone a question: How many of you are proud picky eaters? It's okay. I'm not here to judge. Yours truly has been a picky eater for over 30 years. Between 25 to 30 percent of adults self-identify themselves as picky eaters. The very first food I disliked as a kid was orange chicken. One night for dinner, I had Chinese food, which I loved and still love to this day, and a small amount of orange chicken. For some reason, it (meaning the orange chicken) made me gag. I took a few bites of it and to me, it was gross. That was the moment I became a picky eater. Ever since then, I haven't had it and refuse to order it. I made a lengthy list of the list of foods that I will and will never eat in my head. The following foods I'll share on this list isn't every single one, but a handful. Feel free to share in the comments below what foods you personally like and dislike. Without further ado, let's start with the foods I'll eat.

The $80,000 Mac & Cheese Scandal: A Story of Opportunity, Integrity, and the Cost of Cutting Corners
There’s a phrase Vusi Thembekwayo often leans on: “Opportunity does not build character—it reveals it.” And somewhere in Texas, inside the fluorescent-lit efficiency of a Chick-fil-A kitchen, that truth unfolded—not with drama, not with noise, but with something as ordinary as mac and cheese.

I Learned the Hard Way That Every Hunger Isn't A Need For Food. Top Story - April 2026.
There was a time in my teenage years when I was always hungry — or at least, that’s what I believed. I would eat, get up from the table, and still feel that familiar ache. My aunt eventually grew tired of hearing me say the words “I’m hungry.”

Beyond medicine, pandemic prevention extends to ecosystems.
According to a coordinated global analysis, monitoring environmental, animal, and human health as a single system rather than individual threats is necessary to prevent pandemics. This result reframes the starting point of outbreaks and directs prevention efforts toward the early warning signs that show up long before hospitals fill up.

The Water Wars
Why the Next Global Conflict Won't Be Over Oil But Over Water THE CRISIS NOBODY IS PREPARING FOR 🚰 While the world's attention focuses on energy security, geopolitical competition, and technological disruption, a crisis of far greater existential significance is accelerating largely outside public awareness: the global freshwater supply that sustains all human life, all agriculture, and all industrial activity is declining at rates that will produce catastrophic shortages affecting billions of people within the next two decades, and the competition for remaining water resources has already begun generating conflicts between nations, between regions within nations, between agricultural and urban users, and between the current generation that is consuming water faster than it can be replenished and future generations who will inherit aquifers and rivers depleted by the current generation's unsustainable consumption patterns 🌊
