Shrimp cocktail for dinner and more recipes to make this week

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesI happen to live near a small but great seafood market, where the fish is impeccably fresh. Their poached shrimp is plump and juicy; the housemade cocktail sauce has just the right zing. I bought them once or twice as a starter for a special meal. But one day I realized that I was holding back: What I really wanted was to eat shrimp cocktail for dinner. And so I did. And it was great.There is a problem, though: This place is open only a few days each week, for a few hours in the middle of the day, which is precisely the time I can’t go seafood shopping. So when I have a craving, I turn to recipes like Melissa Clark’s new roasted shrimp cocktail, which I can make anytime, no trips to the store, with frozen shrimp. (Always keep a bag of frozen shrimp in your freezer. It’s cost-effective and very useful.) That recipe, along with four others I’m excited about, are below.1.

Neighborhood preschool in Boulder closing after 38 years

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

After 38 years at its location in the University Hill area, Sunshine House Montessori Preschool will be closing permanently at the end of the month.The Sunshine House is a neighborhood preschool that’s been a fixture in the community since it opened, said Director Monica Hebein. Hebein said the area is losing a high quality Montessori school, along with “a sense of community and a small, neighborhood school.”“We’re a small school with a cozy home-like environment, and I feel like small schools are able to provide comfort, and give more individual attention … and many small neighborhood schools bring the community together,” Hebein said.Montessori schools create a customized environment where kids participate in individualized learning and more hands-on learning compared to a typical preschool classroom. Kids learn about kindness, independence, coordination, concentration, responsibility, leadership and more.Morgia Holmes enrolled two of her kids in Sunshine H...

Conservative party of Greek prime minister in big election lead, to seek outright majority

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

By ELENA BECATOROS and DEREK GATOPOULOS (Associated Press)ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, whose conservative party won a landslide election victory Sunday but without enough parliamentary seats to form a government, indicated he will seek a second election hoping to consolidate his victory without need of a coalition partner.Mitsotakis’ New Democracy party was a full 20 percentage points ahead of its main rival, the left-wing Syriza party, with nearly 90% of the votes counted. But due to the current electoral system of proportional representation, his 40% vote share was still not enough to secure a majority of the 300 seats in parliament, meaning he would either have to seek a coalition partner from a smaller party, or head to a second election.“From tomorrow, I will follow all constitutional procedures, but maintaining my firm view that the mathematics of proportional representation is akin to party horse-trading and results in a de...

Donna Summer’s bedazzled closet and ephemera will go up for auction

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

For nearly a decade after Donna Summer’s death in 2012, her home in Nashville, Tennessee, remained like a shrine to the Queen of Disco’s decadeslong music career.Beaded gowns that she had worn onstage remained tucked away along with designer pumps in the upstairs closet; ephemera such as an annotated album cover design for “She Works Hard for the Money” were stored downstairs; and in the basement, there was an accumulation of brightly colored paintings, awards and gold records.Never eager to talk about death, Summer — who died of lung cancer at 63 — had not given directions for what should be done with her possessions, her husband, Bruce Sudano, said recently. It was only in the past few years that Summer’s family was ready to fully comb through her belongings at the Nashville home, many of which will go up for sale at Christie’s next month, the auction house announced Friday.“You’d go into these spaces and it would be almost a time capsule of your life,” said Brooklyn Sudano, one o...

One win away from NBA Finals, Nuggets credit teamwork for playoff dominance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — When the Denver Nuggets faced the most crucial stretch of the biggest road game in franchise history, Nikola Jokic took over both on the floor and in the huddle.The two-time MVP decided he would run a two-man, pick-and-roll offense with Jamal Murray late in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Saturday night, and Jokic came through with a 15-point fourth quarter. He also commanded his teammates to buckle down on defense against the Lakers, and the Nuggets responded by taking over the game on both ends.“Coach Jokic did a great job tonight,” Denver coach Michael Malone said with a smile.When told of his new job title, Jokic grimaced.“I don’t want to be a coach,” he said. “I think that’s the worst job on the planet, for sure.”Jokic had simply done what was necessary — and that’s the story of Denver’s entire season.Whenever a challenge arises, whether it’s in the doldrums of a dominant regular season or in tough playoff matchups with the...

Greece’s conservatives achieve landslide victory but fall short of majority

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:10 GMT

ATHENS — Greece’s conservative ruling party achieved a landslide victory in Sunday’s election, but it will have to wait for a second vote later this summer in its bid to secure an outright majority.The New Democracy party of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis managed to gain a double-digit lead over its main rival, the left-wing Syriza party, and was missing only a few seats for a majority even with the new proportional representation system, according to early results.“The political earthquake that occurred today calls on all of us to accelerate the process for a final governmental solution,” Mitsotakis declared Sunday evening from his party headquarters.“The data from the ballot box is catalytic — it proves that New Democracy has the approval to govern independently and strongly and they demanded it emphatically, in an absolute way,” he said.With 75 percent of the votes counted, New Democracy was poised to get 40.8 percent of the vote and 145 seats in the 300-seat parliament.
