A cozy one-pot chicken for a fuss-free holiday

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:16:52 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesThe Yiddish word tsimmes, or tzimmes, means to make a big fuss over something. It’s also the name of an Ashkenazi dish of sweet potatoes, carrots, dried fruit and sometimes flanken or brisket, traditionally served at Jewish holidays.You’d think, with a name like tsimmes, it must be a fussy dish, needing chopping, peeling and praying over to get right.But the tsimmes I grew up with were simple vegetable side dishes, a pretty mix of orange-hued roots dotted with dark prunes and glistening with honey, baked until plush and velvety. Sure, there was some peeling and chopping, but next to frying latkes, pinching kreplach and rolling matzo balls, a pan of tsimmes was the one fuss-free part of the holiday preparation.With that ease in mind, I created this tsimmes as a convenient holiday showpiece. Since Hanukkah is approaching, I wanted a one-pot dish that was festive enough for a holiday meal, yet easy enough to leave time to make latkes.Tsimmes recipes ...

BY SAMEEA KAMAL | CalMattersPop quiz: What does your state senator do?And for extra credit: Which Assemblymember represents you?You’d be forgiven for not knowing. Despite the hundreds of laws that legislators pass each year, many Californians aren’t always aware of what their representatives do, or how their decisions impact their lives.That’s partly why Republican Assemblymember Josh Hoover hosted a fall “Meet Your Representatives” event in the relatively new Folsom Ranch neighborhood. Inside the sparkling clean cafeteria at Mangini Ranch Elementary School, about two dozen residents gathered to hear what city, county and state elected officials do for them.Most of the audience questions were focused on local issues: What is the city doing to attract bigger businesses? Why aren’t dogs on leashes?But one resident asked the state lawmakers about school safety: Were they planning to introduce any bills to deal with the problem of mass shootings?Hoover took that question: “There was an ...
