Spicy food not doing enough to conjure warmth? Try a spicy cocktail!

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:37:21 GMT

A few weeks ago, I did a roundup of some of my favorite spicy foods — couched in a suggestion that they might help warm you as winter continued to drag on.Since I’m still looking out my window at nearly a foot of snow covering the lawns across the street, I thought I’d offer you another one of my favorite ways to warm up, which also happens to be a way to forget about all the white stuff. Let me introduce you to the spicy cocktail.Yes, bloody Marys are often spicy, but we are going to skip over those in favor of lighter, brighter drinks that are spiked with chili peppers of one sort or another.I will say that most of these drinks were not as spicy as I wanted them to be, but they are all tropical and delicious and offer a little tingle for your taste buds that might make you forget for a few minutes that outside is still looking like winter.Cross-eyed Mary from Tongue in Cheek on St. Paul’s Payne Avenue.

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:37:21 GMT

Dear Amy: I’ve been married for 36 years. Whenever we used to see my husband’s family, there would be a point when the “family” would be in one room and the “not-family” in another.A few years ago, one of his sisters was very ill and needed help. All the siblings pitched in. She is healthy now, and it made them realize that they wanted to spend more time together.However, they exclude the “non-family” from these gatherings. They get together three or four times a year.My husband and I moved a distance away a few years ago. Just before we moved, his siblings got together to celebrate his birthday. I was not included.Last year when we traveled for one of these gatherings, I had dinner with a friend, and then waited for 30 minutes for my husband to come out of the restaurant where he was with his siblings! He now says I could have joined them, but I know they don’t want anyone but siblings.I have told him that if I travel with him again s...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Once Baltimore Orioles top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez got through a nervous first inning in his big league debut, he settled in and got a no-decision while going head-to-head against an ace.“There were a lot of nerves that first inning. Really couldn’t feel the baseball,” Rodriguez said. “I kind of felt like I was on an island, but yeah, the second inning was pretty normal.”After needing 30 pitches to get through the first inning Wednesday against the Texas Rangers, who got early back-to-back RBI hits to Adolis García and Josh Jung, Rodriguez retired 13 of the last 15 batters he faced. The 23-year-old right-hander struck out All-Star shortstop Corey Seager twice, including a 97-mph fastball on his last pitch in what was then a tie game.“He got a little nervous there in the first inning, might not get out of it. He was just really excited, a little jumpy,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “He just really did a great job of settling down....
