Bake this Napa-inspired Artichoke Pie with a red wine reduction

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:35:25 GMT

The Napa Valley inspired this California-centric pie in Stacey Mei Yan Fong’s new cookbook, “50 Pies, 50 States: An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the United States” (Voracious, 2023). When you think of the Golden State, she says, artichokes and avocado come to mind. Fong wasn’t about to make an avocado pie, but artichokes had definite possibilities, especially when paired with a Napa red wine reduction.Artichoke Pie with Savory Almond Crumble and Red Wine ReductionMakes one 10-inch pieINGREDIENTSAll-Butter Crust, half a recipeExtra-virgin olive oil for brushingRed wine reduction:1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1/2 cup each chopped white onion, celery and carrotThis California-inspired artichoke pie hails from Stacey Mei Yan Fong’s new cookbook, “50 Pies, 50 States.” (Copyright © 2023 by Stacey Mei Yan Fong.

Andoni Iraola became the latest coach from the Basque region to take charge of a Premier League team after being hired by Bournemouth on Monday, hours after Gary O’Neil was fired despite keeping the team up last season with four matches to spare.Iraola joined after his contract expired at Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, which finished in 11th place in La Liga last season in his third year there.Rayo had a high-energy, heavy-pressing style under Iraola, who follows fellow Basque coaches Mikel Arteta, Julen Lopetegui and Unai Emery to England’s top division.“He was highly sought after by other clubs across the continent, and his style of play has been an important factor in making this decision,” said Bournemouth owner Bill Foley, an American who bought Bournemouth in December. “His achievements in Spain have certainly been very impressive, and we’re confident that he is the right man to lead our next chapter.”Foley said it was a “difficult decision” to part company wit...

Without Messi, Argentina labors to 2-0 win over Indonesia in friendly

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:35:25 GMT

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Argentina struggled to create chances without Lionel Messi in the team as it labored to a 2-0 win over Indonesia in a friendly on Monday, with both goals coming from defensive-minded players. Holding midfielder Leandro Paredes scored a long-range opener in the first half just as the team was growing frustrated at its inability to break down a team ranked 149th in the world. Tottenham defender Cristian Romero added the second soon after the break.Messi, who scored in a 2-1 win over Australia in Beijing on Thursday, was allowed to return home early by coach Lionel Scaloni in order to rest. The 35-year-old Messi is expected to make his debut for Inter Miami in July after leaving Paris Saint-Germain for the MLS club earlier this month.With Messi having told Chinese media that he may not continue playing for the national team long enough to take part in the 2026 World Cup, Argentina may soon have to get used to the idea of being without the superstar, who led th...

Push to get more residents living in downtown DC missing some key pieces

Mayor Muriel Bowser and other city officials are pushing for more residential development in downtown D.C. as a way to help bring back its pre-pandemic energy — and developers are heeding the call.But, in order to get people to want to live downtown, there is a lot of catching up to do.Downtown D.C. is not like downtown Chicago or Manhattan in that it is missing much of what people living in those areas want and need.“More and easier access to grocery stores,” said Wei Xie, east region research lead at real estate firm JLL, which has just published a report on the future of Central Business Districts. “Family-oriented restaurants because not all families are going to be sitting down at five-star restaurants every day. Basic needs like medical services, health care and child care. All of those have to come into play in order for the city to compete successfully with some of the suburbs.”In commercial real estate speak, metro areas develop and evolve around a hub-and...
