From salads to sushi, balsamic pearls are TikTok’s favorite food upgrade
A viral video is teaching everyday TikTok users the surprisingly easy method to class up their recipes with balsamic pearls. These little vinegar balls can make any salad look fancy while giving it a burst of flavor.This same method could also work with other ingredients, if you're ready for adventure.How to make balsamic pearlsIn a TikTok video that currently has over 1.6 million views, user @platingqueen demonstrates how to make these delicate culinary gems. All you need is the vinegar, agar powder, and vegetable oil. @platingqueen Replying to @BelleMillerWill BALSAMIC PEARLS RECIPE ⬇️ Save this for your next dinner party— your guests won’t believe you made them yourself!! • Whisk about 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon of agar powder— eyeballing it is fine • Bring the mixture to a simmer to activate the agar • Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, then remove from the heat Here’s where most people mess up: it’s all about the temp. Too hot and it’ll explode out of your squeeze bottle. Too cold and it sets into jelly! • Let it cool for 2–4 minutes until it’s warm and pourable, but not starting to set • Funnel into a squeeze bottle • Fill a glass with ice-cold vegetable oil— 30 minutes in the freezer is perfect • Drop it in slowly, one drop at a time, in a circular motion (from a little height!) • Strain over a bowl to save the oil, then rinse the pearls under running water • Serve with caprese, cheese, or whatever your heart desires ✨ ——— #foodstyling #prettyfood #moleculargastronomy #caviar #balsamic #foodpresentation ♬ sonido original - Vibes by Ley Then follow these steps:Whisk together a cup of balsamic vinegar with one tablespoon of agar powder.Bring the mixture to a simmer.Remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.Pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle.Chill a glass of vegetable oil until it's ice cold.Squeeze drops of the vinegar into the cold oil and watch the balsamic pearls form instantly.Food stylist Bri Baker recommends adding these to summer salads, caprese, or "anything that you want to make extra special."Other potential options for these magical little spheres include pasta dishes, oyster platters, cheese plates, and any number of hors d'oeuvres you want to appear fancy. Take a decent cracker with a slice of cheese and pile a few of these on, and your friends will think you've gone to culinary school.What other pearls can you make with this method?Viewers drooled over this recipe as the video went viral, and commenters had a lot more ideas on the topic. TikTok user @chronic_thickness says that you can use cold vegetable oil and a squeeze bottle to make pearls out of more than just balsamic vinegar.@platingqueen/TikTok"Hey, so you can do this with just about any kind of liquid. I used to work in a kitchen and this was one of my favorite things to experiment with," she wrote, "my favorite was pineapple juice, I served them over mango sorbet and it was phenomenal.""Could you do this with soy or teriyaki sauce??" asked @inkiwitch. "I’m thinking this on top of sushi would be divine."Baker replied that you could definitely try that.@platingqueen/TikTokOther commenters dreamed of trying this on avocado toast, in a tomato martini, with deviled eggs, and one user even said they had it on a chocolate lava cake and loved it.Then the chaos agents arrived. User @kita_raito has already dreamed up an "insane boba prank idea." Be careful out there, food lovers. The internet is chaotic—but we’ll break it down for you in one daily email.

A rare olive-colored fish in Nevada nears a key step toward endangered species listing
U.S. wildlife officials want to extend federal protections to a rare Nevada fish that environmentalists say is “barely clinging to existence” because of rapid groundwater pumping in a remote region experiencing extreme drought conditions.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal to list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub as an endangered species is expected to publish Wednesday on the Federal Register, kicking off a 60-day public comment period.It marks the Trump administration’s first consideration to list an endangered species during his second term. The pace of listings dropped dramatically during President Donald Trump’s first term.The Center for Biological Diversity sued in 2023 and secured a settlement last year that forced the government to decide by this month whether to list the fish under the Endangered Species Act, which makes it illegal to import, export, possess, transport or kill those species.Patrick Donnelly, director of the center’s work across the Great Basin where the tui chub is found, said Nevada can’t afford to lose any more of its native fish species, like the Ash Meadows killifish and Raycraft Ranch springfish that became extinct decades ago.Animals and WildlifeMay 19Scientists fear possible extinction of endangered whales after alarming birthing seasonAnimalsApr 17Endangered sea turtle populations show signs of recovery in part of the world“The Fish Lake Valley tui chub is barely clinging to existence,” he said in a statement. “I’m thrilled these fish are poised to get the life-saving protections they urgently need.”The olive-colored minnow, which is less than 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) long, used to live in a half dozen springs in Fish Lake Valley in southwestern Nevada, near the California border. But they are now found in just one spring system between Las Vegas and Reno that the center says is threatened by groundwater pumping mostly used for the production of alfalfa. Other threats include looming lithium mining and geothermal energy projects.While the tui chub is the “most significant organism” living in that pond, Donnelly said its significance is “much broader than that.” Fish Lake Valley’s wetlands that support all kinds of desert wildlife, including the pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep, are also dependent on the groundwater there.“If the water level keeps going down and the Fish Lake Valley tui chub goes extinct, that whole ecosystem is going to crash, because it’s the same water that sustains both of them,” Donnelly said. “The Fish Lake Valley tui chub could be considered an indicator of the health of that whole ecosystem.”In its proposal, the wildlife agency said the designation is warranted because of “the destruction and modification” of the tui chub’s habitat “caused by agricultural production or other land management practices,” as well as the effects of climate change and competition with invasive species.At the same time, the Trump administration is seeking to eliminate habitat protections for endangered and threatened species by redefining “harm” in the Endangered Species Act, which has long included altering or destroying the places those species live.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service said in a proposed rule issued last month that habitat modification shouldn’t be considered harm because it isn’t the same as intentionally targeting a species, which is called “take.”If adopted, environmentalists say it would lead to the extinction of endangered species because of logging, mining, development and other activities. They argue that the definition of “take” has always included actions that harm species, and that the definition of “harm” has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Supreme Court sides with Maine state rep. censured over IDing trans teen online
The Supreme Court on Tuesday found that the Maine legislature must count the votes of a GOP lawmaker who was censured after she identified a transgender teen athlete in a viral social media post.The court majority sided with Rep. Laurel Libby, who filed an emergency appeal to restore her ability to vote while her lawsuit over the punishment plays out. There were two noted dissents, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical on the court’s emergency docket. Jackson, for her part, wrote separately to say the case “raises many difficult questions” and Libby may ultimately win. Still, she said the justices should have let lower courts continue to deal with the case, since there are no significant upcoming votes where her vote could change the ultimate outcome.The Democratically controlled House found that Libby’s viral post had violated its code of ethics by putting the student at risk. She was blocked from speaking and voting on the floor after she refused to apologize.Libby said the punishment violates her right to free speech and leaves her district without representation.Maine state attorneys argued that she still has other ways to participate in the legislative process, and would regain her voting power if she apologized.Libby’s February post was about a high school athlete who won a girls’ track competition. She said the student had previously competed in boys’ track. Her post included a photo of the student and first-name identification in quotation marks.Libby’s post went viral, preceding a public disagreement over the issue between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills. The Trump administration later filed a lawsuit against the state for not complying with the government’s push to ban transgender athletes.Associated Press writer Mark Sherman contributed to this story.

The right wing just committed a major blunder
Over the last several decades, few initiatives of the American political right have met with greater sustained success than the relentless crusade to capture control of the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court’s reactionary majority is, of course, the ultimate and most visible example of this success, but the ongoing effort to politicize and radicalize the judiciary has borne fruit in many places.See, for example, the appellate courts in North Carolina where, thanks to the investment of big dollars and a whatever-it-takes-to-win approach to campaigning, Republicans have captured sizable majorities on the state’s Supreme Court (5-2) and Court of Appeals (11-4).By spending millions of dollars and waging a determined and unabashed culture-war-based ground game that has helped spur conservative voters to action in bottom-of-the-ballot races that once were treated as nonpartisan, the GOP has transformed the state appellate courts through a series of narrow electoral wins into a rubber stamp for its gerrymandered legislative majorities.And while progressives have tried to push back periodically, they’ve mostly found themselves in a defensive posture and promoting bland messages like “let’s keep the courts fair” or “we need judges who will respect the Constitution” – themes that are true and accurate enough, but that were never capable of firing up the troops.And then along came Jefferson Griffin.Six months ago, millions of Democratic- and progressive-leaning North Carolinians had only the vague idea of how the state’s courts were organized – much less the identities of the people who serve on them. Incumbent Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs was a mostly anonymous jurist – well-known only among the state’s small cadre of civil rights and civil liberties lawyers of which she was once a member.Today, thanks to Griffin’s ill-conceived and politically disastrous effort to overturn his loss to Riggs in last November’s state Supreme Court election by tossing thousands of ballots, everything has changed.Conservative pundits and pols may be spinning the brave face notion that Griffin’s failed challenge helped advance the cause of “voter integrity” – that is, identifying categories of voters on whom Republicans can impose new roadblocks to voting – and one suspects that’s something they will pursue.But by far the biggest and most important impact of Griffin’s failed effort is the transformative boost it’s given to progressives and Democrats in awakening them to the importance of judicial elections.Indeed, a lot of Republican and conservative operatives are likely wanting to kick themselves right now, or at least, Griffin. Had he quietly conceded last November after a second recount confirmed his defeat, it would have been a disappointment for the right, but hardly a defeat of great consequence.Republicans would have still maintained their large majority on the high court and most North Carolinians would have quickly forgotten about the contest.Today, however, after six months of dreadful nationwide publicity for Griffin in which he was rightfully portrayed as a sore loser, along with six months of unprecedented organizing and messaging by dozens of progressive good government advocates and advocacy groups, the visibility of the state courts is dramatically different.Meanwhile, Justice Riggs has emerged as a minor political rock star.Thanks to her willingness to abandon the traditional tight-lipped posture of Democratic judicial candidates by stepping out and running a very public campaign to rally public support for her legal argument to count all the votes that were cast, Riggs, in effect, beat the right at its own game.For the first time in recent memory, a young, progressive Democratic judge presented herself as (and spoke to average people like) a real person with whom they could easily identify – not just a distant and vaguely mysterious figure in judicial robes voicing sober legal platitudes.It’s no wonder that other Democratic judicial candidates are already lining up to invite her to headline their campaign fundraisers.And, of course, for Democrats and other progressives looking to alter North Carolina’s political environment by breaking Republicans’ gerrymandered strangleholds on the legislature and U.S. House delegation, all of this news could scarcely have come at a better time.At the heart of the GOP gerrymandering success is the party’s control of the state Supreme Court. If Democrats are to have any hope of seeing fair redistricting maps return to North Carolina – maps that would reflect a state that, as the Riggs-Griffin election demonstrated in stark terms, is evenly divided between the two major parties – they’ll have to end the current GOP dominance of the high court. And that will necessitate winning elections in 2026, 2028 and 2030, prior to the next scheduled round of redistricting in 2031.Whether Democrats can capitalize on their recent good fortune in those upcoming elections remains, of course, very much an open question. Notwithstanding the outrage and enthusiasm of recent months, voter memories can be short, and it’s a sure thing that that big GOP dollars and hardball tactics aren’t going anywhere.For now, though, the chance that Democrats can reverse recent patterns in judicial elections looks much brighter than it did at this time last year. And all those concerned can thank Jefferson Griffin for the sea change.

Trump says he'll speak separately to Zelenskyy, Putin about potential ceasefire
President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he’ll speak separately to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday as he ramps up efforts to help the two nations reach a ceasefire.“I will be speaking, by telephone, to President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Monday, at 10:00 a.m.,” Trump wrote in an all-caps post on Truth Social on Saturday, adding, “I will then be speaking to President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.”Trump said he would speak to Putin about “stopping the ‘bloodbath’ that is killing, on average, more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade.”“Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end,” he added.Trump has urged Zelenskyy and Putin for months to reach a ceasefire deal to end the three-year war. Ending the war was a key campaign promise of Trump’s during the 2024 presidential election cycle.Officials from Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul on Friday to hold their first direct talks since the war began. The two sides reached an agreement for a prisoner swap but did not appear to be significantly closer to setting terms for a permanent ceasefire.Secretary of State Marco Rubio also spoke with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday about peace talks, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said.Putin did not attend the Istanbul talks. Trump told reporters on Friday that he and the Russian president “have to meet.”“He and I will meet. I think we’ll solve it, or maybe not,” Trump added.Pope Leo XIVMay 11Pope Leo XIV calls for peace in Ukraine and Gaza, and offers a Happy Mother's DayTrump AdministrationApr 30US and Ukraine sign long-awaited minerals dealRussia-Ukraine WarApr 28North Korea confirms it sent troops to Russia, calling them ‘heroes'The president has for weeks escalated rhetoric against Putin, blasting him for striking Ukraine as U.S. officials tried to initiate talks between both sides.“Vladimir, STOP!” Trump wrote in one April post after Russia bombarded Ukraine in attacks that killed at least 12 people.Trump met with Zelenskyy for a private conversation on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome in April. After that meeting, the U.S. president questioned Putin’s commitment to ending the war in Ukraine, writing in another Truth Social post that recent Russian strikes, “[make] me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along.”Earlier in his administration, Trump and top U.S. officials, like Vice President JD Vance, targeted their ire about the ongoing war toward Zelenskyy, with a late-February White House meeting between the three men devolving into a shouting match.Last month, Ukraine and the U.S. reached a deal on an “economic partnership” between the two nations involving Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.NBC News reached out to the Russian and Ukrainian embassies for comment.Abigail Williams contributed.This article originally appeared on NBCNews.com.
