How can you tell when seafood is spoiled?
Seafood, a popular and nutritious food, is a staple in many homes around the world. Seafood adds a special taste to many dishes whether fresh from the sea or purchased at the store. Its perishable nature, however, means that it can quickly spoil without proper storage and handling. To minimize this distasteful risk and to avoid spending time being sick from foodborne illnesses, it's important to know how to tell if seafood is still edible.

Kraft Dinner, America's Boxed Child
An American describing their culture is like an adolescent writing their autobiography. The themes come from older family members and teachers, leaving little room for originality. American cuisine illustrates this—our main dishes, such as pizza, seem to be borrowed from our progenitors in Europe and elsewhere.

My Grandmother's Kulchatay. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
If I were to name one dish from my culture that defined me, I'd say it was kulchatay (pronounced /ku:l-cha-'tay/) from the northern rural region of Kyrgyzstan where I spent my summers as a child and teenager, on my grandparents’ farm.

Cannelloni Chronicles: How Pasta Stuffed My Heart (and Stomach). AI-Generated.
Some dishes transcend taste. They carry memories, traditions, and the warmth of shared moments. For me, cannelloni isn’t just pasta—it’s a love letter from my nonna’s kitchen, wrapped in dough and smothered in sauce.

Green Stuff. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
The memory gets hazier every year, but I'll never quite forget the first time I tasted it. Thanksgiving Day was the occasion; we were all gathered together at my paternal grandparents' house, just like every year before or since. I remember it was cold, and that I was pretty young. How young, I can't say for sure. Old enough to feed myself, but not old enough yet to fix my own plate. My Dad walked alongside me down the buffet my Maw-Maw, great-grandmas, aunts, and mother set up in the kitchen. Daddy held the plate for me, loading up that Styrofoam trough with everything I pointed to.

Features of Baba Ghanoush Dish
1. What is Baba Ghanoush? Baba Ghanoush is a traditional Levantine dish that primarily consists of mashed roasted eggplant mixed with tahini, olive oil, and seasonings. The eggplant is typically charred to achieve a distinct smoky flavour, setting it apart from other dips like hummus. It is commonly served as an appetiser or a side dish, often accompanied by pita bread, fresh vegetables, or grilled meats.

Grandma’s Magic Soup: How a Bowl of Broth Saved My Soul (and My Stomach)
There are dishes that fill our stomachs, and then there are dishes that fill our hearts. My grandmother’s chicken soup falls into the latter category. More than just a meal, this simple yet soul-nourishing dish has been a symbol of comfort, healing, and family unity for as long as I can remember.
