People’s Pharmacy: Do touchless thermometers work?

UPDATED: Wed., Dec. 2, 2020

Whenever I go to the doctor’s office, a nurse weighs me, takes my temperature and measures my blood pressure. These days, I really do not like them sticking a thermometer under my tongue even in its little plastic sleeve. How reliable are the touchless devices I have seen on TV news reports?

Miss Manners 12/2

Dear Miss Manners: I am a lowly communications professional at a technology firm. When we have video calls with upper-level people, our leader spits tobacco juice into a bottle. On camera. He spits elegantly, but I still want him to stop because it’s gross. When we’re in the office, he turns away when he spits. Quite unobtrusive.

Dear Annie: My husband tells me that I’m cheating on him by talking to my friends and family. He talks to people on the phone who I don’t even know, but I don’t ever worry about it or get on his case about it. What can I do? – Needing Help in Virginia

This crisp, classic potato latke recipe delivers a satisfying, celebratory crunch

I love latkes so much, I named my dog after them. That’s not the punchline to a joke. When we got our Labrador retriever puppy in November 2019, we took one look at her pale yellow coat and named her Latke. And last Hanukkah, we tried photographing Latke with latkes, but being true to her Labrador self, she ate them before we could snap a single frame.

Warm, soothing and aromatic and centered on nourishing produce, this soup has a truly healing vibe to it. But, more than that, what draws me to it is how alluringly tasty it is. Flavor-wise, sweet earthiness of butternut squash and sautéed onion lead the way. Those vegetables are simmered in a savory broth along with chunks of fresh pear.
