I always found the middle to be the worst. Beginnings are wondrous, full of discovery and possibilities. Middles are tangled messes.

There are also some that are so Tarr they are called "spitters" but bake well or maybe make excellent cider. But yes, the variety of apple is wonderful.

It is not every day that a children's book writer gets to speak to Congress. This is long, but worth listening to.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

None of the Trump people have the slightest trace of decorum or sense of responsibility.

Egg drop soup. Boil your favorite broth, add rice vinegar, ginger, some soy sauce. Drizzle in the egg white as you stir.

Or brush the whites on bread you are baking.
