Chicken thighs with cauliflower rice pilaf is a winter dinner win
Every year when the mid-winter doldrums loom, the array of oranges at the market gives me the lift I need. The fruits' juicy tang and varieties that belie the name — red blood oranges, as well as pink Cara Cara and orange navels — bring a welcomed burst of sunshine to the day, not to mention a fortifying measure of vitamin C.

Eggs under $5, other bargains on grocery shelves as Aldi debuts Thursday in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Aldi, the fastest growing grocery store chain in the U.S., makes its Las Vegas debut on Thursday, opening a stores in Henderson and North Las Vegas. And if you need a reason to go, eggs are cheaper than Smith's and Albertsons. A dozen Grade A eggs (cage-free) were priced at $4.47 during a media preview event on Tuesday afternoon. The stores opening Thursday are at: 621 Marks St. in Henderson 2106 W. Craig Road in North Las Vegas The opening date for a third store in the southwest valley at Rainbow Boulevard and Arby Avenue is expected in May, according to a company news release. 8 News Now has learned that a fourth store is planned in Henderson, near Eastern Avenue and Horizon Ridge Parkway in a former Albertson's location. Officials at Tuesday's event would not confirm that information. Thursday's grand opening events are scheduled at 8 a.m., with special giveaways for the first 100 customers. Normal business hours for the two stores are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Aldi prides itself on helping its customers save money. They do it primarily through store-brand products, although you'll see some national brands, too. The stores are less than half the size of a typical Las Vegas supermarket, and you won't get mailers with the weekly specials. You can find those online at Shawn Eddy, Aldi's regional vice president, said saving money is a major focus for the chain. 'Price is key for us. We're the price leader, which we believe is why we're the nation's fastest growing grocer right now,' Eddy said. You'll bag your own groceries and plunk down a quarter to use a cart (you'll get it back when you return the cart … see the video below). And if Aldi is thrifty, there's no shortage of interesting items on store shelves. Produce offerings include Cotton Candy grapes, Cara Cara navel oranges and raspberry oranges, described as similar to a blood orange but sweeter. Specialty cheeses — more than 50 varieties, including imports — meats and seafood are available. 'We have a lot of great products, great costs. We have our Aldi Finds aisle back there,' Eddy said, pointing to a section of 100 unique items every week that the stores don't always offer. 'Our customers seem to love that. They can come in and get seasonally trendy items, things that we don't always carry. It's fun. You can get shoes, to a backpack, to a lawnmower.' Kim Brazington, the director of national buying and a 'certified cheese professional,' said Aldi has the products that are right for the time of the year. 'It's a great shopping experience because it's quick, and then we've got the products that you need and you want, like when you're going to need them. So, for a grilling season or for the summertime, we're going to have a fresh goat or that marinated mozzarella type of product,' Brazington said. 'And also, you never really know what you're going to find in our Aldi Finds selection,' she said. Aldi looks for items that are fun and innovative. 'Anything from like a truckle from the U.K. all the way to baked lemon ricotta,' Brazington said. She's looking for what's next, too. 'Sheep's milk cheese is a really great kind of step from goat's milk cheese,' Brazington said. It has the benefits of being easy to digest without some of the flavor that sometimes turns people off from goat's milk. 'I think sheep's milk cheese next year is going to be kind of the next big thing because sometimes the goat milk flavor that comes through on a goat cheese is a little bit earthy,' Brazington said.

Cara Cara Opens Pop-up on Upper East Side, Showcasing Spring Collection
Cara Cara, the advanced contemporary apparel brand, has opened a pop-up on the Upper East Side at 1265 Madison Avenue. The shop, which measures 630 square feet, is the company's first long-term pop-up, having operated a one-week pop-up in Nantucket, Mass., in August of 2023. More from WWD From the Newsroom: Will the 'Tariffpocalypse' Transform Fashion Forever? Alamelu, an Indian Luxury Ready-to-wear Collection, Looks to Make Inroads in U.S. LIM Fashion Education Foundation Honors Sam Edelman and Amanda Smith With Fashion Forward Awards Cara Cara was founded in 2019 by Julia Brown, Katie Hobbs and Sasha Martin. Each woman had their own successful career previously — Brown in fashion design, Hobbs in digital media and e-commerce, and Martin in finance and marketing. The brand specializes in feminine dresses, tops, pants and skirts, often in vivid colors and original prints. The company started out as a small collection of printed cotton poplin dresses and has evolved into a complete collection that includes ready-to-wear, knits, tailoring, evening, and outerwear. The spring collection starts at $245 and goes to $995. The pop-up, which opened Friday, highlights Cara Cara's complete spring and upcoming summer ready-to-wear collection, with the latter set to arrive later this month and into May. There will also be several pieces exclusive to the store and the New York City market. In addition, the store will carry a small little girls capsule with the spring collection for mommy-and-me dressing. According to the cofounders, Cara Cara's business is split 60/40 between wholesale and direct-to-consumer. The women's brand is carried by such retailers as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Shopbop, Revolve, Net-a-porter and Moda Operandi as well as a network of top specialty stores nationwide. To bring the decor to life, Brown hired her longtime friend and interior decorator Darren Henault, who is known for drawing inspiration from interiors and vintage textiles. The Cara Cara team worked closely with Henault to reflect the spirit of the collection from antique rugs, colorful Murano glass, ceramic urns and his own bespoke Georgian teak chaise and lounge. A vintage hand-painted screen anchors the dressing room, which was designed with selfies in mind. The design is a blueprint for future permanent spaces, according to the founders. The antiques, objects and custom furniture from Henault's upstate store, Tent, are all for sale at Cara Cara. The pop-up, which is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m to 5 p.m., will be open through mid-June. Cara Cara plans to collaborate with a selection of brands across swimwear, hats, jewelry and accessories. 'The initiative is designed to introduce labels that currently lack a presence in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, bringing a curated mix of fresh finds to the boutique,' said cofounder Hobbs, who is chief marketing officer. In addition, the owners plan to host a series of charity shopping events supporting various causes such as the Carnegie Hill Neighbors Association, a nod to cofounder Martin's deep roots in the community, where she was raised and now resides with her family.
