Taste-Off: The best pre-made Alfredo sauces – and the gloopy ones

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:07:47 GMT

When it comes to jarred Alfredo sauce, there are two camps: Those who do, and those who don’t. And to be clear, those who don’t, really, truly don’t. Ever. They don’t buy it because they either prefer to make it from scratch, or they have no idea why they might want a jar or two in their pantry, especially if they are not fans of fettucine Alfredo.That brings us to those who do, which is clearly a huge contingent of home cooks, as store shelves are stacked with Alfredo options. For these people, what’s inside the jar is not just a creamy, comforting alternative to tomato-based pasta or pizza sauce. It’s an appetizer, a meal starter, a finish sauce.Alfredo can be slathered on pasta, chicken or fish or drizzled on cauliflower or roasted vegetables. It can be stirred into marinara, used as a base for soup or a creamy casserole or poured into a fondue pot for an instant hot dip.The problem with jarred Alfredo, of course, is that it requires such things as stabilizers and gums, ingredien...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:07:47 GMT

A pocos días de que venza el periodo para renovar el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, en inglés) para los salvadoreños, los consulados de ese país en el DMV están ayudando a sus connacionales durante este proceso de forma gratuita.Según el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS, en inglés) más de 200,000 salvadoreños están amparados bajo el TPS: un programa que les permite vivir, trabajar, y hasta generar empleos en la nación norteamericana. Sin embargo, expertos afirman que no todos han renovado este beneficio. “El problema es que en las últimas veces había sido automático y no se tenía que hacer todo este papeleo. En el último llamado que hizo USCIS sí se tiene que hacer”, explicó la embajadora de El Salvador, Milena Mayorga. La funcionaria aclaró que los beneficiarios de otros países como Honduras, por ejemplo, tienen otra fecha de vencimiento. Los salvadoreños tienen hasta el 10 de septiembre para renovar el TPS.

Germany’s audit court slams Lindner’s ‘special funds’ — again

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:07:47 GMT

Germany’s Federal Court of Audit does not buy Finance Minister Christian Lindner’s back-of-the-envelope calculations for maintaining the so-called debt brake. In a report dated last Friday, but released this week, the court criticized the government’s use of “special funds,” which it said are now accumulating to a massive €869 billion. The auditors slammed this shadow budget as “hidden debt.”“By shifting revenues and expenditures to special funds on a financially significant scale, the federal budget has been gutted over the years,” the Court of Audit warned. Lindner has repeatedly committed to meeting the constitutionally enshrined Schuldenbremse, or debt brake, which allows Berlin to only make a very small amount of fresh debt every year. The fiscal rule aims to keep Germany’s debt-to-GDP ratio under 60 percent, in line with the EU’s debt rules. But the coalition government, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has increa...
