A cheesy casserole that lets the host savor holiday mornings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:07:47 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesIt’s not a big deal making eggs and toast to feed one or two. It’s when you try it for a crowd that things start to get tricky. The eggs or the toast always wind up cold, which is bad enough on a weekday, and even worse on a holiday morning.But turn those ingredients into a breakfast casserole and something magical ensues.Instead of remaining separate, the bread soaks up the egg, becoming custardy in the center, and puffed and golden on top after baking. You can stir in all kinds of other ingredients to fancy it up — any combination of bacon, sausage, cheeses, herbs or vegetables will heighten its appeal.Best of all, not only can all of this be done in advance, it should be.Assembling the casserole the day before allows the bread to soften and absorb the egg mixture as it sits. Then, the next day, all you need to do is pop it in the oven, leaving the cook plenty of time for other morning pursuits — going for a run or taking a shower (o...

Majors, who was asked to stand and face the jurors as the verdict was read, showed no immediate reaction, looking slightly downward.The charges stemmed from a dispute between the “Creed III” actor and his girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, that began in the backseat of a chauffeured car and spilled into the streets of Manhattan one night last March.Jabbari, a 30-year-old British dancer, accused Majors of an attack inside the vehicle that left her in “excruciating” pain.

Warriors: Jackson-Davis ready to pounce on opportunity with Green out indefinitely

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:07:47 GMT

PORTLAND — The Warriors are thin enough in the front court. But for the next three weeks, at least, that frontcourt will have to stand on its own without its foundation in Draymond Green.Now, the center rotation especially is a floating mishmash of undefined variables; Kevon Looney has regressed and is sometimes unplayable against mobile, athletic teams. Dario Saric is a floor-spacing asset on offense, but not often the solution on defense.Even with a thin paint presence, rookie center Trayce Jackson-Davis is often buried on the bench, mostly because of a few iffy stints here and there. But the Warriors need him to the front of the bench pronto.Jackson-Davis saw an extended run against Portland when Saric ran into foul trouble early in the first half and gave Golden State a look on both ends they haven’t had consistently since the Zaza Pachulia and JaVale McGee days. The kind of game the coach Steve Kerr could lean in on while the rotation experimentation light is on.Rel...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:07:47 GMT

The San Jose Sharks – for multiple reasons — would love to see Anthony Duclair respond this week after the veteran forward was healthy scratched by coach David Quinn for the first time this season.Duclair watched Sunday as the Sharks fell behind early and were unable to score a 5-on-5 goal in what became a 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, bringing an end to a 0-2-0 road trip.Among other things, Quinn wasn’t happy that Duclair didn’t hustle to get back onside Friday against the Arizona Coyotes, negating a late third-period goal by Mikael Granlund in what turned into a 1-0 Sharks loss.“He and I have talked about it,” Quinn told reporters Sunday night regarding Duclair. “I’ll keep that conversation between him and I. Listen, he’s had a good stretch here.”Duclair, with six points in his last seven games, figures to be back in the lineup Tuesday as the Sharks play the Los Angeles Kings to start a two-game homestand.In the past, Duclair has shown he can respond to being left out ...
