By Kelly Yamanouchi, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Atlanta’s economic fortunes linked to corporate trips, conventions American leisure air travel is bouncing back quickly after plunging last year. But it could take months or years for business travel to return to normal — if ever — even as more companies prepare to bring workers back to offices.

The One Circumstance When You Actually Should Rinse Your Cooked Pasta

The One Circumstance When You Actually Should Rinse Your Cooked Pasta

Foodie, ,
By Sara Tane | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT Yes, there’s a time and place for rinsing your noodles. Preparing dry pasta is as straightforward of a cooking method as they come. You bring some heavily salted water to a boil, you drop in your pasta and cook it to your desired doneness (al dente for a little bite or fully cooked through), and then maybe you reserve some pasta water before draining the noodles. See? Simple, easy, boom, done. No questions asked. Most pasta recipes would never instruct you to rinse your pasta after cooking it. For a lot of folks, the mere thought…

NBC Approaches “Moral Hazard” Amid Tokyo Olympics Push During Pandemic

Business, COVID-19, Editors Picks, , ,
BY PATRICK BRZESKI | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT As health experts question the wisdom of proceeding with the games in Japan — where just 6 percent of the population is fully vaccinated — the broadcaster, with billions at stake, is taking a big risk. During the TV industry’s upfronts in May, Disney enlisted Jimmy Kimmel to liven up the proceedings with a stand-up routine. The ABC late-night star roasted the broadcast community but reserved his arguably sharpest words for NBCUniversal, saying, “NBC is planning to move forward with the Olympics this summer, even if they have to kill every last person in Japan to…

Travel, ,
By Kelly Yamanouchi, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Nearly 1.5 million Georgians are expected to give in to wanderlust over the Independence Day holiday, which would make it the second most traveled July 4th on record and comes just months after the number of COVID-19 cases in the state hit a peak with thousands crammed into the state’s hospitals.

June 22 HELP! WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR DOG GETS SPRAYED BY A SKUNK

One sniff will tell you instantly and most people cannot stand to even be in the same room with their dog once they have been sprayed. So why is skunk spray so offensive? Skunk spray comes from two glands which are located on each side of the skunk’s anus. The glands produce the liquid which is composed…
