Taste-Off: The best cinnamon-raisin bagels on supermarket shelves

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:48:11 GMT

A freshly made cinnamon raisin bagel is a perfect morning bite. It’s fragrant, moist, chewy and just a tiny bit sweet. Add butter or cream cheese, and it’s a satisfying and substantial breakfast.The problem is that a lot of bagels — particularly those sold in grocery stores — are simply not all that they should be, mainly because manufacturers of packaged bagels often omit critical steps in the bagel-making process.Great bagels require good gluten development, adequate resting time, a boiling water or steam bath and a high-temperature bake. Skip one step, and the result is a bad bagel — a round of bland, soft, cakelike bread, or a dense, dry puck that’s hard to choke down.When shopping for bagels, look for plump, non-wrinkly rounds with a shiny, glossy surface and just a small hole in the center. If it’s properly made, it will not only have a shiny skin on the outside, but it will bounce back to shape readily when gently squeezed. It’s also a good idea to check for high protein cont...

Airline stocks shares fall on American’s so-so 1Q outlook

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:48:11 GMT

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Airline stocks tumbled Wednesday after American Airlines issued a lackluster outlook that appeared to amplify fears that travel demand, which has surged for the past year, could finally be slowing in the face of inflation and economic uncertainty.American said that it expects to report a small profit for the first quarter, but one that could easily be below Wall Street expectations. American indicated that demand is still about as strong as it predicted in January, but the stay-the-course update came as analysts cautioned investors about a slowdown in travel bookings.Bank of America analyst Andrew Didora said this week that his bank’s data shows that airline bookings have slowed since mid-March, “and we have become a bit more cautious on 2Q23 revenues.” He lowered second-quarter revenue estimates for the big airlines by up to 2%.JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker said the slowing is primarily in bookings for travel within the United States, which were runnin...

Denver no longer nation's top city for weed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:48:11 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Yeah, well... at least Denver has more than one sports team. Denver lost its place as the nation's marijuana mecca, according to an analysis from Clever Real Estate. The new king of kush is Portland. Oregon was two years behind Colorado in legalizing recreational cannabis. Washington and Colorado legalized it in 2012, while Alaska and Oregon legalized it in 2014. Denver: No city for old men To be the nation's top hash hub, cities must score highly in a handful of categories including legality, rate of dispensaries and cannabis doctors, dispensaries' customer ratings, pot prices, Google search trends for marijuana-related terms, public perception and the number of hiking trails, concert venues and most importantly Taco Bells.Portland edged out Denver in its overall score - mostly because Portland's pot is cheaper. High-quality pot costs $210 per ounce in Portland as opposed to $242 in Denver. Portland also has more dispensaries per 100,000 residents - 13.7 to Denve...
