Julie Giuffrida | Los Angeles Times (TNS)Much as I love to cook, I am unwilling to feel as though I am working inside the oven while trying to get dinner on the table. I’m all about keeping the cooking to a minimum but still prefer to make my meals at home rather than eating out during the work week. My solution is this compromise: rotisserie chicken.One of my favorite go-tos, rotisserie chicken is a terrific starting point, and one chicken can provide several meals. It is available at most local grocery stores, though quick-service restaurants such as Pollo a la Brasa, California Chicken Cafe and Zankou Chicken often do a better job and offer the convenience of having your bird ready and waiting for you to pick up if you call ahead to order it. Yes, you can also order some side dishes and bring home a full meal, but my fridge is often full of leftovers begging to be part of another meal.When I don’t have a lot of leftovers hanging around, there are plenty of staples and pantry item...At least 1 dead, 1 missing as Tropical Storm Franklin batters Dominican Republic

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Advancing flames devoured forests and homes as wildfires that have killed 20 people raged across swathes of Greece Wednesday, with blazes also burning in neighboring Turkey and in Spain’s Canary Islands. Greece’s largest forest fire was burning out of control for the fifth day near the city of Alexandroupolis in the northeast. Another major blaze on the outskirts of Athens torched homes, reducing some to piles of smoking rubble, and encroached into the national park on Mount Parnitha, one of the last green areas near the Greek capital. From Friday to Tuesday, 355 wildfires broke out, Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias said. On Wednesday, firefighters were tackling 99 blazes, fire department spokesman Ioannis Artopios said in an evening briefing, including 55 that had broken out in the previous 24 hours.Authorities made 140 wildfire-related arrests, including 117 for negligence and 23 for deliberate arson, Artopios said, adding ...Giuliani is expected to turn himself in on Georgia 2020 election charges as bond is set at $150,000

ATLANTA (AP) — Rudy Giuliani is expected to turn himself in at a jail in Atlanta on Wednesday on charges related to efforts to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.The former New York mayor was indicted last week along with Trump and 17 others. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said they participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy to subvert the will of the voters after the Republican president lost to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020. Giuliani faces charges related to his work as a lawyer for Trump after the general election. At a meeting Wednesday with Willis’ team, Giuliani’s bond was set at $150,000, an attorney for Giuliani told The Associated Press. That’s higher than any of the defendants so far, except for Trump whose bond has been set at $200,000.“I’m feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United S...North Dakota Gov.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum plans to have a walk-through of the Republican presidential debate stage on his injured leg on Wednesday and then assess with his campaign if he can do the debate. Burgum hurt his Achilles tendon playing basketball with members of his campaign staff on Tuesday and was taken to the emergency room. Campaign spokesman Lance Trover said that it was “unclear if he will be able to stand at the debate,” set for Wednesday night in Milwaukee. He said Burgum’s team would have more information later on the injury, which was first reported by CNN.Missing the two-hour debate would be a major setback for Burgum, who is the least known of the eight candidates expected to take the stage at Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee, home to the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team. The first debate of the GOP primary, which early front-runner Donald Trump has said he’s skipping, is Burgum’s best opportunity to introduce himself to voters.

LILLOOET, B.C. — The BC Wildfire Service has shared a video showing what it calls an “incredibly rare” fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, that was whipped up over Gun Lake in the Central Interior.It says the video, showing a giant vortex of gas and flame disappearing into the night sky, was shot by its firefighters last week as they battled the Downton Lake wildfire near Lillooet.The service says a combination of extreme fire intensity, plummeting humidity and very low dew point produced conditions that created the fire tornado.It says “complex terrain” and downslope winds also contributed to the creation of the phenomenon.The service says on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that these “unique conditions” are not usually experienced in B.C.The video has been shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 23, 2023.The Canadian PressLebanese army helicopter crashes near Beirut killing 2 crew members and injuring 1
