How I Conquered ‘Kindergarten Panic' in the Era of School Choice
When I was growing up in the Sacramento suburbs in the 1990s, kindergarten enrollment involved very little decision-making. My mother simply sent us to the elementary school closest to home. Now as a parent in Los Angeles, I discovered that finding a kindergarten is anything but simple.

Come for the Chicken and Zucchini, Stay for the Charred Scallion Salsa
Good morning! Today we have for you: A skillet chicken dinner that uses up some zucchini A soy-butter corn ramen that needs only five ingredients And, a giant peppermint patty I know there are some heavy-hitter ingredients in Colu Henry's skillet chicken and zucchini with charred scallion salsa — the chicken and the zucchini — but bear with me as I focus on those scallions. My fridge feels empty without at least two bunches of pert green onions stashed in the crisper. They last a good while and they're so versatile, providing a variety of flavors and textures. To wit: Soft and sweet in caramelized-scallion sauce Sharp and crisp in pa muchim Bright and pungent in quick pastas Crispy and wispy atop glazed eggplant Lately I've been into charring my scallions, which gives them a pleasant smokiness. And once you've charred a (literal) bunch of scallions, you can do so many things with them. Stir them into a dip! Make them into a pasta! Use them as a base for a chimichurri situation or, as Colu does above, for a fast and easy salsa with cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice. This glorious green concoction perks up summer's sweet zucchini and seared, skin-on chicken breasts, and I bet it would be good on lots of other things, too: grilled salmon, crispy tofu, shrimp tacos. As I said: Scallions! Featured Recipe View Recipe → Soy-butter corn ramen: I tumbled down a rabbit hole of Hokkaido food videos the other day (as one does). The region's famous miso butter corn ramen made me think of this super-quick Hetty Lui McKinnon recipe, which hits many of the same notes: curly noodles, sweet corn and a good dose of umami from the soy sauce and the butter. I bet adding a little miso in Step 3 would work out quite nicely. Miso-grilled shrimp with corn and shishito peppers: Speaking of corn and miso, here's a new recipe from Ali Slagle that reads like a summer cooking to-do list. Make extra for excellent midweek rice bowls. Chocolate mint tart: The way I am a sucker for any treat that's a jumbo-size version of something small (see: Melissa Clark's giant jam bun; Sohla El-Waylly's giant almond croissant). Yossy Arefi has made for us, essentially, a giant peppermint patty, and I can't imagine a more elegantly refreshing dessert.
