Last year the Southern Poverty Law Center decided to write a little report on my network of racist connections. They didn t mention a single thing I wrote or say, but they tried to link me to various racists. The best they could come up with is that I worked for white nationalist Pat Buchanan, that I was Facebook friends with then

Kate and Kyle Korman at their home in Victor, where they brewed up the idea for Schittin Good Coffee while quarantining during the pandemic. “Genius,” the inventor Thomas Edison is said to have once remarked, “is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” Had he known the story behind Kate and Kyle Korman’s breakthrough idea, though, he might have left room for constipation.

The arrival of spring means the start of the outdoor grilling season after a long winter of indoor cooking. For most people, that means busting out the same old burgers, sausages, and hotdogs. But if you’re looking for a break from the monotony, lamb is an approachable, easy alternative to standard backyard BBQ fare for even mildly adventurous cooks. Lamb is the often-overlooked other red meat. But it is plentiful, flavorful, and versatile. Personally, I can’t get enough lamb. I eat more lamb than I do beef or pork during the spring and summer, and have converted more than a few skeptics over the years.
