Preparation Dalton Gomez and Ariana Grande are officially husband and wife! According to People, the newlyweds held a private ceremony last weekend. “They got married,” Grande’s representative said. “It was tiny and intimate—less than 20 people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.” News of their nuptials comes after a one-year courtship that began in January 2020.

Real Arancini Balls are deep fried. They are insanely addictive, with a golden crunchy crumb and creamy cheesy risotto on the inside. I could eat them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which is why I am so glad that there are no Italian delis in my area, otherwise I’d be in real trouble. But I need an Arancini fix every now and then.

Not only does the buttermilk provide a nice base flavor, but it also is an excellent tenderizer. After the bath in the buttermilk, we give the tenders a quick coating of flour, then a dunk some beaten eggs, then dredged through a mixture of Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix and bread crumbs....
