There are few things more annoying to salad lovers than bad bottled dressing. Whether it’s a perfect avocado, a plate of tomatoes or a bowl of greens, herbs and veggies, a sad dressing simply ruins everything.On the hunt for a versatile — and delicious — salad dressing that’s up to the task of ushering in the bounty of summer produce headed our way, we decided to focus on bottled balsamic vinaigrette. A great balsamic dressing can be splashed into spinach salad, drizzled on crostini, dribbled on pizza or used as a marinade.You’ll find two styles of balsamic dressing on store shelves. One is a classic vinaigrette that separates, with oil on top and vinegar and other ingredients on the bottom. The other is a thick emulsion stabilized with gums or mustard. It’s worth noting that both styles can be quite good.The best dressings are delicious blends that highlight the complex, fruity flavor and mellow acidity of good quality balsamic vinegar. They can be peppery or herby, sweet or ...Indian bar snacks and TV cricket come to a San Ramon sports lounge

The Bay Area has thousands of cricket players bowling on pitches from Dublin to Fremont and Sunnyvale. Now all those sportos have a new place to drink and watch even more cricket on TV, thanks to an Indian sports-lounge concept in San Ramon run by the folks at Curry Up Now.It’s a “concept” because the Mortar & Pestle Sports Lounge is a revamp of an existing Mortar & Pestle Bar (of which Curry Up Now has a few) with a menu inspired by Indian street-food carts and a focus on TV sports, from soccer and rugby to the hottest matches in international cricket.

Since President Joe Biden came into office in 2021, he has described a “battle between democracies and autocracies” in which the U.S. and other democracies strive to create a peaceful world. The reality, however, is that the Biden administration has helped increase the military power of a large number of authoritarian countries. According to an Intercept review of recently released government data, the U.S. sold weapons to at least 57 percent of the world’s autocratic countries in 2022.Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the world’s biggest weapons dealer, accounting for about 40 percent of all arms exports in a given year. In general, these exports are funded through grants or sales. There are two pathways for the latter category: foreign military sales and direct commercial sales.The U.S. government acts as an intermediary for FMS acquisitions: It buys the materiel from a company first and then delivers the goods to the foreign recipient.
