Yogurt flavors, protects tandoori-inspired chicken kebabs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:57 GMT

In Indian tandoori cooking, much of the flavor comes from the ripping-hot temperatures, up to 900 F, which send spice and smoke sizzling out the top of barrel-shaped clay ovens.The meat, usually chicken or lamb threaded on skewers, chars beautifully. But why does it emerge from the oven tender and juicy instead of incinerated? Yogurt.As part of a marinade, the dairy’s lactic acid gently breaks down the meat’s proteins in such a way that it retains more moisture during cooking without turning mushy. Thick yogurt also holds seasonings in place so they don’t run off into the fire. And, perhaps most deliciously, the natural sugars in the yogurt caramelize in the high heat. That leaves a charred, beautiful crust with a mellow tang and crispy, flavorful bits.We took inspiration from this tradition for these yogurt-marinated chicken kebabs from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, weeknight meals. Our weeknight-friendly, tandoori-inspired skewers f...

They had retirement accounts worth $3 million, $500,000 in a taxable brokerage account and excellent credit scores.They were surprised when a national bank turned them down. They tried a local credit union, which also rejected them.“We haven’t been turned down for credit since about 1987,” says Kelly Barkey, remembering when the couple applied for a rewards credit card while she was still a college student.HOME LOANS CAN BE HARDER TO GET IN RETIREMENTThe federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits lenders from discriminating against applicants based on age, but that doesn’t mean getting a home loan in retirement will be easy even for those with good credit,...

DeSantis says state lawmakers will ‘formally nullify’ Disney’s attempt to thwart state takeover

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:57 GMT

 (CNN) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that the Republican-controlled state legislature will take steps to “formally nullify” Disney’s attempts to thwart a state takeover of its special governing powers.In his latest act of retaliation against Disney, DeSantis said lawmakers will advance a bill that will “make sure that people understand that you don’t get to put your own company over the will of the people of Florida.”DeSantis moved earlier this year to take over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the special taxing district that for half a century gave Disney control over the land around its Central Florida theme parks, and install his political allies on the district’s board of supervisors. However, Disney in February reached an agreement wit the outgoing board that seemed to render the body powerless to control the entertainment giant. The DeSantis administration was unaware of the agreement for a month and vowed retribu...

POTSDAM — Britta Ernst, the wife of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, is stepping down as education minister of the east German state of Brandenburg, the state chancellery announced Monday. Ernst, also a member of Scholz’s center-left Social Democratic Party, had held the mandate since 2017.

She wanted to cut 200 vacant teaching positions and staff them with social workers instead. Ernst also planned to reduce funds for additional school social services. SPD colleague and lawmaker Katja Poschmann openly criticized Ernst and her plans at the end of March, saying that every teaching position and school service was “indispensable.”The state premier, the SPD’s Die...
