‘Dietland’ is violent, disruptive and surreal. Enjoy the ride!
The most subversive moment on television this summer? It might be a cartoon credit sequence for “Dietland,” the new show from Marti Noxon that debuts on AMC on June 4.

She’s skeletal when she crests...
The NBA draft lottery is a bad gimmick that's run its course
Almost every time I see it — which, granted, isn't very often, but every so often is often enough — the NBA doesn't look good. It's hard for me to recognize. And yet it is thriving, so they say. TV ratings are up, while the NFL's and NHL's are down. For the fourth consecutive year, attendance has risen, although crowd figures quite often are figments of publicists' fabrications. Maybe...

Maryland's Kevin Huerter was a big winner at NBA draft combine
Kevin Huerter's NBA draft combine really began with a jump shot, one that rolled off this fingertips from the left corner before snapping the net, a deadeye swish.

That was odd. Shooting was not. It never is...

Spanish food? Sí, por favor!

LeBron 2.0 too implausible for Heat
This is supposed to be the weekly stop where answers, at least theoretically, are offered. But this week, the outside confusion remains, frankly, confounding.

And no, that is not speculation from 2010. It is from recent days and...

The only pancakes worth getting out of bed for on a lazy Sunday
When I was learning how to cook, I began by taking baby steps. I used a lot of products that gave me a jump start on the preparations. Boxed brownie mix. Dried tabbouleh. Bottled dressing.

The pancakes I made with Bisquick were pretty good. Eventually...

China has called President Donald Trump’s bluff. Chinese negotiators left Washington this weekend with a significant win: a willingness by the Trump administration to hold off for now on imposing tariffs on up to $150 billion in Chinese imports.

Ohio man calls police to report he’s being followed by a pig
A man in Ohio realized the downside of bringing home the bacon when a pig wouldn't stop following him on his way home this past weekend. Officers in North Ridgeville, Ohio, received a call from a man who said while walking home from an Amtrak train station, a pig started following him, and he didn't know what to do, according to our partners at WCPO. Thinking he had just left the bar in Elyria...

A police officer responded to Kelly Drive at 3:10 a.m. May 5 on a report of a possible vehicle crash in which a driver left the scene. The report was made by a fire department captain who told the officer he heard a loud noise and saw the vehicle heading north on North Poplar Street. He...
Avocado, roast beef wrap perfect for mom
Make this quick and easy dinner anytime. Avocado and roast beef wrapped in a flour tortilla create a simple dinner. No need to turn on the stove for this wrap and salad. The secret to a good wrap is to moisten the tortilla with a spread or oil. For this recipe, I sprayed the tortillas with olive oil spray. The spray adds flavor without much fat. Flavored tortillas such as tomato or spinach would be...
Snacks will make your trivia night a winner
You’re all ready for trivia night. You know who won the Battle of Waterloo (the Duke of Wellington). You know the tallest building in the United States (One World Trade Center). You know how many sentences there are in the Gettysburg Address (10). But you don’t know what food to bring. Trivia is only part of the fun of trivia night. The other part is eating. Anyone can stop at their local...
Opinion: From Russia with love
Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump and the Russians colluded to rig the 2016 presidential election so far has borne little fruit. The Democrats and their media allies would love to find some Russian collusion and interference. I can help them discover some, but I doubt that they will show much interest. Here it goes. For years, Russia has been the world&rsquo...
Not everyone’s a fan of wine scores, but there’s a way to use them
You have seen the little tags hanging from shelves in wine shops. They’re often hand-drawn, in permanent marker, and sometimes they’re bright, with a large, two-digit number and the name of a publication prominently displayed inside a jagged kind of exploding star. There might be multiple exclamation points, or several underlines, and that number will usually land somewhere in the 90s...
Diving into the artichoke, that delicious mess
There is something extravagant about trimming an artichoke heart. The vegetable matter is peeled, plucked and trimmed into a messy heap that is larger than the center bit we manage to save. To an artichoke novice, it can seem absurdly wasteful. And to all cooks, it’s a time-consuming process. But all that trimming is necessary, and the payoff is big. Biting into a well-trimmed artichoke, without...
Opinion: When Harry marries Meghan, a most uncommon commoner
Marrying up. That’s what we usually say about a commoner who marries into a royal family. But by marrying Meghan Markle, you might say that Prince Henry of Wales — better known to most of us as Prince Harry — is marrying up too. After all, Markle, 36, is more than just a pretty face. Before the Northwestern University theater graduate retired from acting this year to marry Harry...
Harnessing the spinach matrix
Last week at the first outdoor farmers market, I scored spinach in many forms. A sack of baby spinach at one stand, sturdy and juicy tiny leaves that were painstakingly harvested from young plants. Elsewhere, I acquired a bundle of spinach plants, bunched together like at the supermarket but with no broken stems, ripped leaves or festering pieces of slime stuck between. I also got some beefy leaves...
Guess what the king of Texas barbecue won’t eat?
The news from Austin shook the Texas barbecue world to — well, to the bone. In an adoring Esquire magazine profile of new-age Texas barbecue king Aaron Franklin, Franklin coughs up the truth: “I don’t eat that stuff.” Franklin, in his 10th year as the owner of truck-turned-landmark-restaurant Franklin Barbecue, said he loves to cook but doesn’t eat barbecue at all. &ldquo...
Bread pudding sheds its sweet image
We seldom had dessert after dinner when I was growing up — that was for company or holidays. Sometimes there was red Jell-O, considered a weeknight treat. My favorite Jell-O product, though, was the pudding mix, preferably the chocolate one. I can still see the four little pudding bowls chilling in the refrigerator, each one covered in plastic wrap. That was my utterly American concept of pudding...
