Five-month-old Esta High died at Leeds General Infirmary in November 2023 after doctors put her symptoms down to Covid-19
A baby girl who died from meningitis may have been saved if doctors had tested her for the infection sooner, rather than putting her symptoms down to Covid, an inquest jury has found.
Five-month-old Esta High died at Leeds General Infirmary in November 2023, days after she was taken into the emergency department with a high temperature and vomiting.
Mitchell Fairbarn found guilty of animal cruelty after prosecutors say he hurt and frightened the 27-year-old bird
A Canadian man was convicted of animal cruelty charges on Monday for snatching a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel.
Prosecutors said it was a malicious prank while a lawyer for the tourist insisted it was drunken foolishness not meant to harm the bird.
I'm a diehard Costco fan who's had an executive membership for 11 years.
My family swears by the store's freezer section for easy breakfasts, quick appetizers, and snacks.
Some of our favorite products include Kirkland Signature frozen fruit and Bibigio spring rolls.
With a busy schedule and a hungry family, I'd be a mess if it weren't for Costco's extensive frozen options.
I've been an executive member for 11 years, and I feed my family of four — my husband, my son, my mother-in-law, and myself — almost exclusively with Costco products.
We're diehard loyalists, thanks to the value, the store's wide selection, and our general trust in the products Costco stocks. We consider the store's freezers our cheat code to fast, balanced, and easy breakfasts, snacks, and dinner appetizers.
These are the staples we always have in the house and swear by.
Our days start with waffles.

By far the most cherished meal of the day in our family is breakfast. In fact, I've somehow turned it into a DIY multi-course meal.
While I'm making a fruit smoothie — more on that soon — I toss Eggo's homestyle waffles in the toaster. They're a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike, and at Costco, I can buy a pack of 60 for about $11.
Frozen berries make smoothies an easy staple.
I always stock up on frozen strawberries.
Allison Lau
I love making smoothies with frozen fruit — and thankfully, Costco has tons of options.
I'm obsessed with Kirkland Signature's frozen organic blueberries. A bag costs $9.59, which works out to about $3.20 a pound. Blueberries have always felt like a luxury to me, so the fact that I can get them at such a great price will never not be exciting.
The frozen blueberries pair perfectly with Kirkland Signature's frozen organic strawberries. At my local store, these are even cheaper than the blueberries at $11.99 for a 4-pound bag, which works out to $3 a pound.
Fresh strawberries can fluctuate dramatically in price and availability in my area, so it's so reassuring to have consistent, delicious frozen options year-round.
I swear by frozen mangoes, too.

This is our final frozen fruit fixation.
Our local Costco has been stocking organic frozen mangoes from Nature's Touch lately. I love that they're peeled and pitted, which takes so much of the work off my plate.
At $10.39 per bag, the mangoes work out to about $2.07 a pound. They're by far our cheapest frozen fruit in the freezer, and the most delightfully tropical.
We spice up the mornings with Annie's cinnamon rolls, usually as a weekend treat.

We discovered Annie's frozen cinnamon rolls when our two-year-old tried a free sample at our local store. His face lit up far too adorably for me to say no.
Now, whenever we feel like enjoying a fancier breakfast, I'll pull out a tube. Each tube comes with five reasonably-sized rolls, plus just the right amount of icing.
Our Costco sells packs of three tubes for $14.89, meaning each roll is under $1. Another free-sample success story!
Frozen appetizers like vegetable spring rolls are the fastest way to make our at-home dinners feel fancy.
These spring rolls are a big hit with our vegetarian friends and family.
Allison Lau
I swear we eat meals other than breakfast. Bibigo's vegetable spring rolls are one of our favorite additions to any dinner. A box of 50 (yes, 50!) is $9.49 at my local store.
Appetizers have always felt like an indulgence in my family, so there's nothing better than pulling out a dozen spring rolls to snack on as we make dinner. Don't skip the sweet soy-ginger dipping sauce, either.
We also love Sukhi's Irresistible Indian Cuisine samosas.

Samosas are delicious, but a food item I won't even try to make on my own. Luckily, I discovered Sukhi's Irresistible Indian Cuisine samosas at Costco. A box of 16 costs $15.99 at my nearest store.
These are a true crowd pleaser, especially when vegetarian family members are in town.
The potato-and-peas flavor, combined with the provided cilantro chutney, is truly divine.
Nothing's better than a Kirkland Signature ice-cream bar.
With creamy vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, and a sprinkle of crushed almonds, Kirkland Signature's ice-cream bars are the perfect dessert, especially in the middle of California's perpetual summer heat wave.
I genuinely prefer these ice-cream bars over name-brand competitors. They're so coveted in our house that we have to take "Kirkland bar" shifts where each parent hides in the garage and enjoys their ice cream — or else we end up with an over-sugared, sticky toddler.
These usually cost $10.59 for 18 bars at my Costco, but they go on sale regularly. We always stock up.

Thousands of small, often obsolete dams are blocking fish migrations across the United States. In this piece, Ben Goldfarb explores the growing movement to remove these barriers—despite political, economic, and emotional obstacles. He asks, “Can government agencies and conservation groups pick up the pace of dam removal while fish are still around to benefit?”
The Eastern Seaboard’s most enthusiastic purger of dams has long been Plymouth, Massachusetts, and one weekend I visited during its Herring Festival, a celebration of the resurgent alewife population that annually runs up Town Brook, the stream at Plymouth’s heart. The day was cool and damp, and I followed a posse of dads in Red Sox sweatshirts and kids in rainboots up the path that paralleled the creek. Someone had chalked “LOOK FISH” on the asphalt, and I glanced streamward to find alewives holding in small pods, weaving around each other in their effortless way.
by Madge Waggy, Madge Waggy: My grandmother kept a cupboard she called the just-in-case, and for most of my childhood I read it as a harmless eccentricity rather than what it was — a wound made edible.

Quien nos iba a decir hace décadas que unos auriculares inalámbricos se convertirían en uno de los gadgets útiles más usados en el día a día por muchos de nosotros. Tanto es así que algunos de ellos han pasado ser todo un icono de la tecnología y la moda en una especie de fusión imperecedera. Uno de los modelos que más ventas protagoniza a lo largo del año, temporada tras temporada, son los desarrollados por la empresa que una vez lideró Steve Jobs: Apple. Por eso mismo, enEL PAÍS Escaparatenos encanta descubrir nuevos productos (también con espíritu retro) como el de este artículo: una funda acabada con el diseño de un casete para proteger tus AirPods Pro 3.
