Magical meringue mushrooms are a trompe l’oeil (trick of the eye), as the French say, and in fact, France is where this whimsical holiday recipe originates. They look like mushrooms, but taste like dessert! With family-friendly steps, it’s a must for giving and eating through the upcoming holiday season.
MERINGUE MUSHROOMS
-- 3 egg whites (1/2 cup) at room temperature
-- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
-- 1 cup sugar
-- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
-- Cocoa powder for dusting
Here’s the magical meringue-making fun: Preheat oven to 225 F. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy and foamy with an electric mixer set at a low speed. Add the cream of tartar. Increase speed until soft peaks form. Start adding the sugar slowly, a tablespoon at a time. Let your kids watch as the mixture changes and glossy stiff peaks form. Beat an additional 5 minutes after sugar is added.
Spoon the thick mixture into a large, plastic zip-close bag and push toward one corner to form a pastry bag. Cut off the very tip of that corner so the meringue can be squeezed out of the bag. (Or use a pastry bag and a 5/8-inch tip.)
Let your child try it out by dotting four small beads of meringue at the corners of the cookie sheet. Set a sheet of parchment paper over the top. The beads will provide a bond to hold the paper in place.
Make the mushroom caps by holding the bag over the parchment paper and pushing until a 1-inch mound of meringue forms. Place a 1/2 i nch apart. Once you have made approximately 35-40 caps, let your child dip the tip of thei r f inger in a small bowl of water and gently round any peaks to make a smooth surface L ightly strain cocoa powder across the tops.
Shape mushroom stems about 3/4 to 1 inch high on another parchment-paper-covered cookie sheet by pulling the bag up as you press meringue out. Tap down peaks with wet fingers. These stems will be attached to the caps with melted chocolate after baking.
Place the two cookie sheets in the oven for 1 hour, or until meringues can be lifted easily. Turn off the heat and leave in the oven with the door propped open for an hour or more. The extra time allows the meringue caps and stems to dry.
To construct mushrooms, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish. Use a small spoon to spread chocolate on the underside of a cap. Attach a stem. Allow the chocolate “glue” to harden.
Arrange in a festive basket and share with friends at a holiday party.

• The term “lawn mullet” means having a neatly manicured front yard and an unmowed mess in the back.
• Weird Al Yankovic wrote his parody song “The Saga Begins” before “Star Wars: Episode I” was released. Lucasfilm denied his request to see the film early, so he relied on internet spoilers for plot details.
• The human stomach can dissolve razor blades.
• In 1987, Steve Rothstein paid $250,000 for a lifetime unlimited first class American Airlines ticket. He even hopped on planes to get a sandwich or to go to a baseball game in other cities. It cost American Airlines around $21 million, and they ended his contract in 2008.

Q: I’ve been watching the Bruce Springsteen documentary on Hulu, but I could have sworn there was also a movie coming out with an actor playing him. Am I remembering correctly? -- D.D.
A: You didn’t dream it; it’s true. A motion picture about Springsteen’s life while recording his iconic acoustic album “Nebraska” in the early 1980s is currently in production. None other than EmmyAward-winning actor Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) will portray him and says that he would even like to try singing for the film, as opposed to being dubbed over.
A: Even though Depp won his defamation trial in the United States against his ex-wife Amber Heard (“Aquaman”) and has done some independent films, he hasn’t quite made a comeback as a movie star. It’s doubtful that there will be another “Pirates” movie with Depp in the starring role, but he’s still planning to inch his way back onto our movie screens. He’s recently been cast in his fourth film opposite Penelope Cruz, titled “Day Drinker.” The two previously appeared in the movies “Blow,” “Pirates on the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and most recently “Murder on the Orient Express.” It’ll be his first big studio project since his career went south.

OPERATION GRATITUDE STILL GOING STRONG
Since it began in 2003, Operation Gratitude has sent out in excess of 4 million care packages to deployed service members. Starting several years ago, OpGrat has expanded their range of giving to include first responders, wounded heroes, recruit graduates coming out of boot camp and veterans, saying thank you to those who serve. The kids aren’t left out either. Over 20,000 Battalion Buddy teddy bears have been send out to military children in one year alone. The donated items in the boxes (ranging from expensive gadgets to snacks to games to necessities) come from corporations, small companies, community and civic groups, and individuals. Requesting a care package to be sent to someone is easy. Packages can be sent to Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard personnel deployed overseas and National Guard serving domestically. Volunteers are at the heart of OpGrat. They write letters to be included in the packages and volunteer at the packing events. Local groups create handmade items, scout troops and companies hold fundraisers and schoolchildren collect loose change. If you doubt the value of this ongoing effort, look at the videos on the website (www.operationgratitude.com). And look for Carolyn Blashek, the woman who started OpGrat in her living room in 2003 after talking to an Iraq War soldier who doubted that anyone cared about whether he’d make it back. She decided to prove him wrong, and 4 million packages later, she has.
I first wrote about Operation Gratitude in 2008 and have been tracking them through the years. While other efforts have come and gone, OpGrat has only grown and expanded. One memorable highlight was the year founder Carolyn Blashek personally delivered a care package to a soldier in Iraq. That box contained the keys to a new vehicle, courtesy of the automaker.

MY NEIGHBOR WON’T STOP FEEDING STRAY CATS
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My next-door neighbor puts out food for all of the outdoor cats in the area. That includes a lot of strays who are now mingling
BY SAM MAZOTTA
solution is for cat owners to keep their outdoor cats inside and away from the neighbor. Then contact your local animal control. Now, animal control doesn’t always intervene in these situations, but if they feel that the strays are a danger to other pets, they may come out and try to trap and remove them to a shelter, or at least have a talk with your neighbor about putting food out. How would you handle a similar situation? Tell us about it at ask@pawscorner.com.
• On Nov. 18, 1966, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax retired from baseball at age 30 due to chronic arthritis in his pitching arm and the fear that if he kept on playing he eventually would lose the use of his left hand. “In those days there was no surgery,” he said later. “The wisdom was if you went in there, it would only make things worse and your career would be over anyway.”

Al Pacino (Upcoming in Johnny Depp’s “Modí”) Depositphotos
HOLLYWOOD -- What could make Al Pacino shoot five films back-to-back at 84 years old? In 2011, he learned that his accountant stole $50 million of his money for a Ponzi scheme, leaving Pacino with $0. The 1993 Best Actor Oscar winner (for “Scent of a Woman”) realized that he’d have to work to cover his losses. Pacino offered, “The big paydays that I was used to just weren’t coming around anymore.”
He continued, “’Jack and Jill’ was the first film I made after I lost my money. To be
honest, I did it because I didn’t have anything else. Adam Sandler wanted me, and they paid me a lot for it. ... I love Adam; he was wonderful to work with and has become a dear friend.”
Pacino started doing commercial ads, sold one of his two houses, and hit the college talk circuit (which he used to do for free) and paid seminars. He details a lot of this in his recently released memoir “Sonny Boy.”
His upcoming films are “Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness,” directed by Johnny Depp; “In the Hand of Dante” with Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Gerard Butler, Gal Gadot and John Malkovich; “Lear Rex” opposite Jessica Chastain, Ariana DeBose, Rachel Brosnahan, Chris Messina and Danny Huston; the horror film “The Ritual,” with Dan Stevens, Ashley Greene and Patricia Heaton; and “Easy’s Waltz,” starring Shania Twain and Vince Vaughn.

“The Monkey” stars Theo James (“The White Lotus”) playing twin brothers who find their father’s old toy monkey in the attic and start to see a series of gruesome deaths happen all around them. It co-stars Elijah Wood, Colin O’Brien, and “Schitt’s Creek’s” Sarah Levy.
In addition, James is soon to be seen in the crime thriller “Fuze,” with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Worthington.

Small wonder that he and Ryan Reynolds head the list to host the upcoming Oscars on March 2, 2025. If they accidentally slip into off-color language like they did in the film, the Oscars could slip into a Song-Sung-Blue-It!
Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast: Your Holiday Gift to Yourself
PATTI DIAMOND DIVAS ON A DIME
Photo credit: www.JasonCoblentz.com
As the holiday season approaches, finding time for homemade meals becomes more challenging. That’s why this Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast is not just a meal, it’s a gift to your future self. Make a double batch, enjoy half now and freeze the rest for one of those crazy-busy days ahead.
This clean version of the classic pot roast skips the usual processed flavoring packets, using whole food options instead. With just 20 minutes preparation, you can have this roast simmering in the slow cooker, leaving you with a savory, fall-apart meal that’s perfect over mashed potatoes with a side of green beans or salad.
SLOW COOKER MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST
Yield: 6-8 servings
Total Time: 8 hours, 20 minutes
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3-4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 cup yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Better than Bouillon Beef Base
1/2 cup liquid from a jar of pepperoncini
1/2 cup sliced or 5 whole pepperoncini
Ranch Herb Blend:
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried chives
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon onion powder
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the hot skillet and sear until golden brown and lightly crusted on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Leave the skillet over the heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Meanwhile heat 1/2 cup water and dissolve the beef base in the water. Add the water and 1/2 cup pepperoncini liquid to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits. This mixture will quickly thicken into a lovely, velvety sauce. Pour this sauce over the roast in the slow cooker. On top of the roast and sauce, evenly distribute the pepperoncini, and sprinkle the ranch herb blend.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or 4 hours on HIGH or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
After cooking, transfer the beef to a cutting board and rest it for 5 minutes. Next, shred with a fork. Serve with the cooking liquid drizzled over the top, alongside mashed potatoes, green beans and/or a green salad.
For Oven Roast Mississippi Pot Roast: Preheat oven to 275 F. In a Dutch oven, heat oil and sear roast. Remove roast, cook onions in butter, then stir in flour. Add water and pepperoncini juice and stir to combine. Return roast and add pepperoncini and Ranch Herb Blend. Cover and cook for 5-6 hours. Shred beef and serve with juices.
Freezer Instructions: Cool ingredients completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight and reheat as desired.
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, you’re in for a treat! This makes the most delicious sandwiches. You’ve heard of French Dip? Meet Mississippi Dippi! Serve shredded meat on buttered, toasted ciabatta rolls spread with mayonnaise and top with sliced provolone cheese melted under the broiler. Dip the sandwiches in the remaining jus from the crock pot thinned with beef broth if desired.
With this meal prepped and ready, you’ll have one less thing to worry about during the busy holiday season.
