Gretchen McKay | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS)When it comes to humble, ho-hum vegetables, cucumbers often find their way to the top of the list.Available in every grocery store produce aisle, no matter what the season, the long, green members of the gourd, or Cucurbitaceae, family of plants is so ubiquitous that the average American will eat more than 8 pounds of cucumbers each year, either raw in salads or bathed in brine as pickles.Yet to dismiss the fruit as nothing more than a reliable, crunchy base for a salad or sandwich, or a crisp green garnish on a bowl of noodles, is to deny yourself of one of the most versatile culinary ingredients.A trio of cold cucumber soups.

Bruce Cassidy brings Stanley Cup to Milton

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:18:36 GMT

A desert-tanned Bruce Cassidy arrived in the Glover Elementary School parking lot in Milton with his prized (albeit temporary) possession – the Stanley Cup – raised over his head and the Bruins’ goal song “Kernkraft 400” playing over the loudspeakers.“I didn’t script that,” said a laughing Cassidy afterwards.No, Cassidy did not come to Milton on Thursday to rub salt in the wounds of the B’s or their fans – there were more Bruin jerseys in the crowd than those of Cassidy’s new team, the Vegas Golden Knights – but rather to help out friends who are kicking off their new charity. And, of course, talk a little hockey.The charity is the newly formed foundation in the name of Cassidy Murray, who was killed in a water-tubing accident at the age of 13 in March 2022 and who was a close friend of Bruce Cassidy’s daughter Shannon.As they continue to work through their own grief, the Murrays have started the nonprofit dedicated to expanding “educational opportuniti...
