Pepperoni Crumbs > Bacon Bits

Pepperoni gets the most guff of the cured meat family—always the Lunchables, never the crowning glory of the charcuterie plate. But these compact rounds of salumi have so much more to offer for the savvy home cook. They’re peppery, salty, and full of fat that can be rendered to turn them into crisp miniature UFOs. “It’s a quintessential Italian American ingredient—pepperoni is one of those things that people in the United States always associate with Italian food, but it’s rarely seen in Italy,” says Angie Rito, the co-owner of Manhattan’s Don Angie and the coauthor, with Scott Tacinelli and Jamie Feldmar, of Italian American. “The flavor profile of pepperoni is spicy and garlicky with a hint of smoke, and the ingredient has a familiar and nosta...

Scientists examine the unique immune systems of children as more fall victim to COVID – USA TODAY

Eighteen months into the COVID-19 pandemic, with the delta variant fueling a massive resurgence of disease, many hospitals are hitting a heartbreaking new low. They’re now losing babies to the coronavirus. The first reported COVID-related death of a newborn occurred in Orange County, Florida, and an infant has died in Mississippi. Merced County in California lost a child under a year old in late August. “It’s so hard to see kids suffer,” said Dr. Paul Offit, an expert on infectious diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which — like pediatric hospitals around the country — has been inundated with COVID patients. Until the delta variant laid siege this summer, nearly all children seemed to be spared from the worst ravages of COVID, for reasons scientists didn’t totally understand...

Womans obituary blames unvaccinated for her COVID-19 death – New York Post

It was a chilling start to an obituary for an Illinois mom. “She was preceded in death by more than 4,531,799 others infected with COVID-19. She was vaccinated but was infected by others who chose not to be. The cost was her life,” says the death notice for Candace Cay Ayers. Ayers of Springfield succumbed Sept. 3 after her family believes she caught the virus while visiting an unvaccinated friend in Mississippi, NBC’s “Today” show reported. Ayers had received both doses of the Moderna vaccine when she became eligible — but she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and was immunocompromised, which experts now believe may put her at more risk for breakthrough infections. But at the time of her trip in July, her family believed that such cases were rare. ...
