Hey, anyone know a culinary historian? I’m wondering what people who relied on chicken eggs used for baking when chickens went into their low-light, no-eggs period in winter. Did they use a method of preservation like water-glassing? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Hey @npr.org, loved Buffy Gorilla’s story on cheesesteaks. Made me want one, but I don’t think there are any cheesesteaks in my vicinity these days (not even a creative take). One can dream… www.npr.org/2025/07/05/n...
Restaurants across the country are reinventing the Philadelphia cheesesteak
A classic Philly cheesesteak is steak, cheese, and bread. But there are more and more variations popping up around town.

Black Birders Week 2025 is May 25-31. The bird theme is "the Sparrow family" -- birds that are often overlooked, just like Black birders have historically been underrepresented in environmental and naturalist spaces.

I'm also interested in hearing from sellers who have listed their home to sell -- and are perhaps not getting the interest they had hoped.
Drop me a line at lwamsley@npr.org with your situation and a good phone number to reach you. Thanks!

Great story about this fascinating research! Thanks, @vermontpublic.org!
Pulling carbon out of the atmosphere at an increasingly rapid rate is a critical tool for avoiding the worst impacts of climate change, alongside reducing climate-warming emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Dead trees in streams keep a surprising amount of carbon out of the atmosphere
A new study from the University of Vermont takes the first-ever look at how much carbon is stored in wood in streams across the Northeast.
