Father's Day gifts for foodies in North Jersey: Engraved steaks, cheese trays and more
I'm hoping you'll think beyond the necktie and get your dad something other than a stereotypical Father's Day gift this year. I get it, though. As a dad myself, I understand we're not the easiest people for whom to shop. Half of us, at least, want 'nothing' for Father's Day, and if we do have our eye on something, we're probably not going to make a big fuss about it. So if a spatula or whiskey cubes appear before us on June 15, we're going to smile and say we love it, glad the whole, generous ordeal is over. But I'm going to take the guesswork out of your search for a unique gift with a dozen Father's Day ideas, mostly available in North Jersey or made by local folks. And the focus is on food here as chances are your pops eats, drinks, cooks, grills or, at the very least, is interested in good food and beverages and how to consume them more frequently. I always like giving gifts someone would either not buy for themselves or that offer a chance to explore something new so there's a bent toward exploration in these items. (If all these fail, sure, get the tie.) For the caffeine junkie with a fine palate, I suggest the Coffee Passport from Montclair's Paper Plane Coffee Co. Every month, your dad will get 12 ounces of limited-edition roasted coffee. And these aren't just any old beans; they're new offerings sourced from around the globe each month that aren't available on shelves. It's $22.99 per month, or buy a full year in advance and save 10%; you can also dip in for a few months without committing to a whole year. Available for delivery or pickup in Montclair. Get it at Bergen County's own Pat LaFrieda has become synonymous with steak, thanks to his high-quality product showing up in locales from Citi Field to high-end restaurants across the country. You could just order one of his cuts or a box of filet mignons, but why not do something special this year and get a custom message engraved on the bone of a 40-ounce USDA Prime tomahawk steak ($182.68)? You know what they say: There's no better medium to express love and appreciation than meat. Order yours at Is your father a fan of fromage? If so, check out the gift boxes from Valley Shepherd Creamery. We like the BAAA Tray ($59.99), a mix of four of Valley Shepherd's farm-raised, cave-aged cheeses with crackers, jam, fig cake and condiment jam. You can opt for larger gift boxes or sign your dad up for Valley Shepherd's cheese of the month club. Get the BAAA Tray and peruse other options at As the name implies, this is a local hot sauce maker that was recently named the best craft hot sauce in the state by the hot sauce crowd-sourced ranking app Sauced (yes, it's a thing). Get your father a variety pack of three ($24.97) or four ($32.97) hot sauces that range from a classic medium heat to the Sizzlin' hot variety, or go a la carte and get flavors like the Scorchin' Carolina Reaper, Garlic Verde, Indian Masala and more. Get it at New Jersey is home to a handful of wineries, but none (for my money) are better than Pittstown's Beneduce Vineyards. Owner/winemaker Mike Beneduce is a certified sommelier and his family has farmed in Jersey for four generations after emigrating from Italy. Beneduce grows grapes that suit our unique microclimate here, and I recommend the 2023 Gewürztraminer ($30), the 2021 Blaufränkisch ($44) and Beneduce's low-alcohol Acqua Pazza spritz ($20). Order at It's not too late to get your old man in on the home pizza-making trend. While often imitated, I've had the pleasure of eating friends' Ooni-made pizzas for the last year or so. They're easy to use and turn out consistent pies. Ooni ovens come in various sizes (from one to two feet), prices ($299-$1,200) and also use different fuel sources (gas, wood and electricity) depending on preference. The best part is you can pencil in pizza-making accessories like peels, gloves, sauces and more for Father's Day for years to come. Available at select local retailers and at Maybe you want to give the gift of a unique experience — preferably one you can share with your dad. For those who imbibe, the Cheers in Chester Wine and Beer Festival (July 26 from 3-7 p.m.) is a casual experience with the opportunity to sample over 100 craft beers and wine. Plus, there'll be live music and food. Tickets are $60 and include a 5-ounce taster cup; available at Few places cure meats as well as Montclair's Butler and the Board. A charcuterie board may be gone in a matter of minutes on Father's Day, but the memory of its quality will linger. This spot's charcuterie boards include house-cured artisanal meats (like prosciutto, duck rillette, mortadella and more), cheese, house-pickled veggies, fruit, jams and crackers, and can serve 2-12 people depending on your needs and appetite. Prices range from $45-$140; order at If your dad considers himself a mixologist or you think he can just up his cocktail game, check out the artisan bitters from JS Distillery in Fairfield. Their small-batch bitters come in orange and aromatic varieties (both $14) in a dropper bottle. Perfect for an Old Fashioned, Negroni, Sazerac or any number of cocktails, order them at Gladstone's River Bend Farm is a regenerative agriculture operation that offers meats from humanely raised animals that aren't given antibiotics or hormones. So not only are you supporting sustainable agriculture in ordering their food, you're also getting primo meat. Their all-natural, no-nitrate smoked Berkshire pork bacon is immensely popular (so popular, in fact, they limit orders to one pound ($15.99) at a time). Get your dad some at Alright, stay with me on this. A fig tree is a relatively low-maintenance gift that keeps on giving, and they do exceptionally well in the Garden State (I know from experience). New Jersey growers Bill's Figs in Flemington and NJ Fig Farm in Old Bridge each sell young, healthy fig trees of numerous varieties. Gift a fig tree (~$40 and up) to a dad with a green thumb or a hunger for figs and they'll enjoy the fruits of your gift well into the future. Make sure you add in a pot, as they'll need to bring it inside in the winter. When in doubt, get chocolate. Morristown's Enjou Chocolat makes a myriad of holiday-oriented confections, including several options for Father's Day. While you can get chocolate shaped as tools or ties, fish or beer steins, go for something slightly off the beaten path with the golf ball Oreos ($16.95). They're chocolate-covered oreos with a golf ball shell made of white, dark or milk chocolate. Get it at Matt Cortina is a food reporter with Record.

I did 20 military presses every day for a week — here's what happened to my shoulders
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I was recently cleared for exercise after having a baby, so I've been very eager to dust off my favorite dumbbells and get back to work. Despite my enthusiasm, I knew I'd have to rebuild my deep core strength first before attempting most of my pre-pregnancy routine. However, I did feel strong enough to incorporate some upper-body exercises into my postpartum program. I was doing military presses consistently both before and during my pregnancy, so I decided to kickstart my return by doing 20 military presses every day for a full week. While this felt like a doable challenge for me, you should always check in with your medical team before trying a new workout, especially if you're postpartum. Meeting with a certified personal trainer is also a good idea to ensure you're moving correctly. The military press, also called an overhead press, is a compound exercise that targets multiple muscles in the shoulder. This move will work the anterior, lateral, and posterior deltoids along with your triceps, serratus anterior, and rotator cuff muscles. Military presses also require core engagement. Your transverse abdominis and internal obliques keep your torso stable and your spine neutrally aligned as you press the weight overhead. You'll need a pair of dumbbells, a barbell, or a curl bar for this exercise. If you have any lower back issues, you may also want an adjustable weight bench so you can sit while performing the movement. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders with your knuckles facing behind you. Engage your core and maintain neutral spine alignment. Press the dumbbells towards the ceiling. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders. Continue for the desired number of reps. If you're using a barbell or curl bar, align the bar with your sternum, with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Engage your core and press the bar overhead. Return to the starting position with control. Since I was returning to exercise after a long absence, I split 20 reps into two sets of 10. Here's what I found after my week-long experiment. Pregnancy really does a number on your core, and I've noticed the lack of strength and stability in my abs even during the simplest of moves. Knowing that I was dealing with some serious core strength deficits, I decided to perform the exercise seated with back support for the first few days. This was the right choice, as even seated, I could feel the muscles in my back trying to overcompensate for my weak abs. Dropping the dumbbell weight alleviated this problem, and the exercise still challenged my shoulder muscles. Keep this in mind if you've got lower back issues or compromised abdominal muscles. Doing the exercise seated takes a lot of the core work out of the equation, but sometimes that's necessary to ensure proper form and prevent injury. Even though I was seated, I still made sure to engage my abdominals throughout the movement. By the time I got to the fifth day of the week, I felt like my core muscles were conditioned enough to try the military presses standing. It was much easier to keep my spine aligned without letting the low back arch. I finished out the week standing, which was more taxing for my core, but in a positive way. I was starting to see the benefits from military presses combined with my postpartum core routine. Military presses are primarily a shoulder exercise, but they're great for building abdominal stability too. My fifth day of military presses also came with a bump in dumbbell weight. Before pregnancy, I was doing military presses with 20 pounds regularly, so I decided to jump back in a bit lighter — 15 pounds. The first few days were harder than I expected, but I started to find my groove by day three. By day four, I barreled through all 20 reps without stopping. I knew that meant I was ready to up the ante, so on day five, I grabbed my 20-pound weights. I was able to increase my dumbbell weight pretty quickly because my body was used to the movement. If you're trying military presses for the first time, be wary of increasing your weight too quickly. Doing so could result in injury. Since the dumbbells were starting to feel easy, I swapped them for a curl bar on the last day of the week. Curl bars look similar to a barbell but are much shorter and lighter, making them accessible to almost anyone. I selected a 35-pound curl bar, which wasn't as heavy as the dumbbells I'd been lifting. The weight displacement on a curl bar is much different than dumbbells, though, and that threw me off a bit. I even developed some slight shoulder pain on the last few reps, and could feel my abdominals working hard. I had to rest before I got to the end of my sets. Doing military presses with different pieces of equipment, like curl bars or kettlebells, could add some much-needed variety to the movement. I'm a personal trainer — here's 3 hip-opening exercises to reduce stiffness and boost lower-body mobility This routine is designed to improve your lower body's range of motion, increase blood flow, and enhance joint mobility Personal trainer shares a five-move mobility routine to unstick tight hips and shoulders using your bodyweight.

Gov. Green to hold ceremony to honor Pride Month
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Gov. Josh Green will hold a ceremony to raise a pride flag at the state capitol for Pride Month, marking the first time the flag has been displayed at the capitol. The ceremony will include a presentation of the official Pride Month proclamation and will occur at the state capitol on June 2 at 7:45 a.m. Hōkūleʻa's trans-Pacific voyage delayed 'In Hawaiʻi, aloha is more than a word — it's a value that guides how we treat one another, with love, respect and dignity,' Green said. 'Flying the pride flag at our state capitol is a proud reflection of that aloha, as well as our deep commitment to inclusion. While other places are pushing people to the margins, Hawaiʻi is leading with compassion and courage — recognizing that our Māhū and LGBTQIA+ communities have always been a valued part of our story, and always will be.' The flag initiative is led by Lui Pua ʻAla Queer Histories of Hawaiʻi project in collaboration with the state's LGBTQ+ Commission, and is also supported by a number of local community organizations.'The pride flag is more than a banner — it is a beacon of hope, unity and resilience,' said Lei Pua ʻAla co-Director Dean Hamer. 'Flying it at the capitol sends a message that in Hawaiʻi, all people are valued and seen.' This celebration comes during a time where over a dozen states across the country have passed laws banning, or are considering banning, pride flags in government spaces and public areas. In Hawaiʻi, Māhū people have historically been a pillar in traditions, culture and way of life, often serving as revered healers, caretakers and teachers. 'This is a significant moment for our state,' said Vice Chair and project lead for the state's LGBTQ+ Commission Michael Golojuch, Jr. 'By raising these flags, we recognize both the struggles and the strides of our diverse Māhū and LGBTQIA+ communities.'
