A Twin Cities pizza crawl: Six friends, five stops, many delicious pies

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:46:11 GMT

I have long said I would not do a story about pizza.There are too many different styles, too many versions of each style and pizza is so … personal. You like what you like. I like what I like. And I don’t really feel like arguing about it.But a few weeks ago, my husband and I were watching the New York episode of “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netflix, and host Phil Rosenthal took friends to a few different pizza places in one day. It looked fun, and my husband said, “I know you don’t want to write a big pizza story, but what if we did that, and you wrote about it? Do you think you could find four or five standout pizza places to visit?”Could I? Does he know me at all? Narrowing it down would be the problem.Still, he was right about one thing — it sounded fun! I texted friends who were immediately on board and started making my list. In the end, we visited five places* that I think fairly represent the breadth and depth of delicious pizza in the Twin Cities. I know there are many mor...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Is It Okay to Wear the Same Dress to 3 Different Weddings?

Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a clothing dilemma. In the next month, I have three different weddings that I’m attending. I found the perfect dress to wear, but I don’t know if I should wear it to all three of them. It took me forever to find this dress and it wasn't cheap.  There are probably only a couple of other people who are likely to be at more than one of these weddings. Can I wear this dress to all three weddings or do I need to spend more money to find another dress (or two) to wear? Do you think anyone would notice if I wore it to all three? Thanks for your help!CassieWell Cassie, I'm probably the last person to ask about fashion, so if it was me, I say definitely wear the same dress to all three weddings. Why spend more money? But like I said, this is coming from a jea...

Ask Amy: Husband’s secret Twitter account violates bond

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:46:11 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband of nine years has a secret Twitter account where he’s been sexting other people, complete with exchanged pictures and videos.I confronted him about it, explained that it crossed boundaries I’m not comfortable with, and he promised he’d delete the account.A few months later, I noticed he’d been avoiding intimacy with me (again) and learned that he was back at it.I confronted him again and he apologized profusely, promising that he really would stop. But he still hasn’t deleted the profile.I feel betrayed and cheated on.It turns out that he wasn’t just messaging other women, but also men.I asked him if that was something he wanted to explore. He’s been very accepting about my own previous involvement with women (I’m bisexual), but he assured me that wasn’t it.I’m wondering if he’s possibly in denial about being bi-curious, due to his conservative family.I know he wouldn’t be comfortable with me doin...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:46:11 GMT

Finland needs to reduce spending on unemployment benefits and other welfare programs in order to prevent public debt from rising, Petteri Orpo, an opposition leader, said. This was ahead of a tightly fought election that took place at the weekend.Orpo, 53-year-old chief of the National Coalition, stated that cuts to housing benefits, subsidies to businesses, and other support were necessary to ensure services are viable for the nation's rapidly aging population.Orpo, a career politician, has accused Sanna Marin's government, aged 37, of spending too much in areas such as education and pensions. He has made economic management a key theme of his campaign before Sunday's election."The most significant difference between Sanna Marin’s government and a potential government of mine is what kind of economic policy will we pursue."

Inman: 49ers’ loyalty to Shanahan must pay off like Raiders’ to Madden

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:46:11 GMT

As Al Davis sat down to reflect on John Madden’s coaching legacy, 30 years had passed since the Raiders’ first Super Bowl victory.“For a while, there were words that we and he couldn’t win the big one, because we had lost so many championship games,” Davis told me in 2006 during an exclusive interview.Fast forward to the modern-day 49ers. They’ve lost in the NFC Championship Game in consecutive years, and they’re three seasons removed from a Super Bowl collapse.Can coach Kyle Shanahan win the big one?Jed York, the 49ers’ CEO, still very much thinks so. He calls Shanahan “special,” and he’s banking on that justified loyalty to pay off for the 49ers just as it did Davis’ Raiders.“We’ve been in three NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl in the last four years. That’s a pretty good run,” York told reporters Tuesday in Phoenix at the NFL’s annual meeting. “It’s not ultimately where we want to be but it’s a pretty good run.”San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanah...

Rosenberg) trailed Marty FLEISHER by 2 IMPs, having begun the fourth quarter down by 46.At both tables, West opened 1NT. When COPE’s pair sat East-West, 1NT was passed out, down two for plus 200 to FLEISHER. In the replay, young Finn Kolesnik bid two hearts as South after two passes — not an obvious action — and North had a shot at four hearts.LOSING LEADBidding game was wrong in theory, but West found the natural lead — the only losing lead — of a trump. Declarer won and should have led the king of clubs next, starting to set up dummy’s suit. Instead he led a diamond to dummy’s ace and returned a club.If East had grabbed his ace, he would have beaten the contract. But he played low, and South scored his king and embarked on a crossruff that produced 10 tricks, plus 620.COPE gained 9 IMPs, took the lead an...
