Salad season must be coming soon. The first day of summer is only a month away. Three-bean salad comes to mind, mostly because I have received a number of questions about cooking dry beans. Many families laid in a supply when the first directives to shelter at home came along. For many, cooking dry beans is a new experience. You can find dozens of cooking methods in cookbooks, internet recipe forums and on YouTube. Stovetop, slow-cooker and Instant-pot are just a few...

Monday, May 25, 2020, is when the U.S. celebrates Memorial Day this year. Once traditionally celebrated May 30, it has for several years been celebrated on the final Monday in May so that U.S. workers can enjoy a three-day weekend. Is it surprising, then, that many Americans use the day as a mini-vacation, getting a head start on summer fun by heading to the lakes, the mountains or seashore? All war veterans, however, are very aware of the real meaning of Memorial Day. They know that honoring the nation’s war dead p...
