  The US surpassed 20 million total recorded COVID-19 cases on Friday, hours after the country ushered in 2021 and left behind its deadliest month of the pandemic.
  The nation also has set a COVID-19 hospitalization record for four straight days. The high counts are a grim reminder that even with 2020 behind us, the pandemic continues to ravage parts of the country. And some leaders warn the worst is still ahead.

  15-10-2024 18:24 via ocregister.com
  
  This Japanese-style fried chicken showcases a temptingly crunchy panko bread crumb exterior and juicy interior. The boneless chicken breasts are pounded thin before they are coated, and then are fried to golden brown in a judicious amount of oil.
  When plated atop cooked rice alongside a cabbage slaw, the chicken is drizzled with tangy Tonkatsu sauce, a Japanese version of Western barbecue sauce. It’s a delicious one-plate meal.

• Top green teas for a refreshing and energizing boost

  15-10-2024 16:36 via ocregister.com
  
  Which green tea is best?
  Green tea is the fresh, nonoxidized leaves of the tea plant, picked at the height of their verdant glory. Picking tea before it has oxidized imparts it with a lighter more vegetal taste that is herbal in flavor and feel. Although it can contain as much, if not more, caffeine than black tea, the best green teas provide a mellow, energetic boost that provides a counterpart to black tea’s frenetic rush.

• Niles: Don’t expect higher prices to mean lower attendance at Disneyland

  15-10-2024 15:33 via ocregister.com
  
  So, Disneyland raised its ticket prices again. This year’s increase saw most multiday passes and single-day tiers go up about 6.5%.
  That increase last week triggered the expected flood of new media and online complaints that Disneyland has become too expensive — just like every past increase for the past decade or so has done. I asked readers on ThemeParkInsider.com over the weekend if they thought that Disney was too expensive, and 90% of respondents answered “yes.”

  INGLEWOOD — The question hasn’t changed and neither has the answer. At least not yet.
  When Clippers star Kawhi Leonard suits up for a game is anyone’s guess. The All-Star forward has not taken part in any team drills or played in any of the Clippers’ four preseason games or any games since Game 3 of last spring’s six-game first-round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed the final eight games of the regular season before being limited in the postsea
