Furthermore, the prevalence of these "lazy meals" in our daily lives has had a broader societal impact on our relationship with food. By prioritizing convenience and instant gratification over the time and effort required to prepare a home-cooked meal, we risk losing touch with the joy and satisfaction that comes from creating and sharing food with loved ones. The disconnect between food production and consumption in the full-chain rejection of "lazy meals" not only harms our physical health but also erodes the cultural and social significance of mealtime rituals.In the realm of the entertainment industry, the spotlight often shines brightest on the talents of young actors.

Adams' 25 help CSU Northridge down Utah Tech 89-79
A dose of Aaron Rodgers is exactly what the Buffalo Bills’ defense needed. The aging New York Jets quarterback looked fairly disinterested in being at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, and the Bills took full advantage in a 40-14 win that clinched the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and improved their record to 13-3. Led by a dominant performance from edge rusher Greg Rousseau, the Bills’ defense produced a season low yards allowed. They were flirting with a shutout, or at least a season low in points allowed, until the Jets scored two late touchdowns with Tyrod Taylor at the controls against a defense with mostly backups in the game. (The Bills' season low for points allowed is 10, set in five separate games.) Members of the Bills' defense celebrate cornerback Christian Benford's interception in the third quarter of their big win Sunday over the Jets. Through the first three quarters, the Jets had seven offensive possessions. Here is how each of them ended: Turnover on downs, interception, safety, punt, interception, punt, lost fumble. The last time the Bills had a defensive safety, recovered an opposing fumble and had two or more interceptions in the same game was the 1998 season. Here is a closer look at how some of those Jets drives ended: • New York’s first drive was one of its best, reaching the Bills’ 24-yard line. On fourth-and-1, the Jets kept their offense on the field and went for it, but running back Braelon Allen was dropped for no gain by Rousseau, who darted into the backfield. • Rousseau played a big part in stopping the Jets’ second drive, too. He tipped a Rodgers pass into the air, and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was there to make the interception. It was the second career interception for Phillips, and it led to a funny comment from former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick via X. During Week 8 of the 2016 season, Phillips – who was playing then for the Dolphins – intercepted Fitzpatrick, who was playing for the Jets. “You are not alone ARod I also threw a pick to Jordan Phillips while playing for the Jets” Fitzpatrick tweeted. The Bills have three interceptions by defensive tackles this season, with Phillips joining Austin Johnson, who has two of them. That's the most by any NFL team since the 2011 Miami Dolphins. • Rodgers was sacked for a safety by A.J. Epenesa with 2:31 remaining in the second quarter. Epenesa blew by Jets backup left tackle Max Mitchell on his way into the backfield, and Rodgers had nowhere to escape. • The Jets’ fifth drive ended when cornerback Christian Benford stepped in front of Jets receiver Allen Lazard to pick off Rodgers. At the end of the play, Rodgers shoved Benford after the Bills’ cornerback was out of bounds, tacking 15 yards for a late hit onto the play. • The next Jets turnover came when wide receiver Garrett Wilson was stripped by defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Linebacker Matt Milano was there to recover the fumble. The play was originally ruled a touchdown, but Milano was ruled to have been touched by Rodgers. That might have been the only remotely positive thing the Jets’ quarterback in an otherwise miserable showing. The Bills’ defense badly needed a get-right game after a few tough showings in recent weeks. Sunday's result should leave them feeling good as the team prepares for the regular-season finale against New England next week – and more importantly, the postseason. Here are some other observations from the Bills’ big win: 2. Amari Cooper came down with a great touchdown grab. It had been a couple quiet games in a row for Cooper, but he made his presence felt in the third quarter, coming down with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen with 5:13 remaining that extended the Bills’ lead to 19-0 and effectively put the game away. Cooper was shaken up on the play after a hard landing and was evaluated for a head injury but eventually cleared. He finished with three catches for 56 yards and in the process reached 10,000 career receiving yards. He joined two-time All-Pro Julio Jones as the only wide receivers from Alabama to reach that milestone in the NFL. Cooper moved past former Bills wide receiver Eric Moulds and became the 57th player in NFL history to have at least 10,000 career receiving yards. Cooper now has 10,033 receiving yards. Moulds finished his career with 9,995. 3. Josh Allen made history. The Bills’ franchise quarterback finished 16 of 27 for 182 yards and two passing touchdowns and also rushed five times for 17 yards and a rushing touchdown. In doing so, Allen became the first player in NFL history to have at least 40 total touchdowns in a season for five straight years. No other player has done it more than three times. 4. The defense got some reinforcements. Safety Taylor Rapp (neck) and cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) were back in the lineup after each of them missed the previous two games because of injury. Milano was also back after missing last week’s win over New England because of a groin injury. 5. It was a flag fest. The first half alone included 12 accepted penalties, six against each team. The penalties against the Bills cost them 55 yards, while the Jets lost 42 yards. The Bills got better in the second half, getting flagged just once for a loss of 5 yards. The Jets, however, continued to take penalties, finishing the game with a ridiculous 16 for a loss of 120 yards. In the teams' first meeting Oct. 14, there were 22 accepted penalties. There were 23 penalties Sunday – 16 against the Jets, seven against the Bills. 6. James Cook neared a record. The Bills’ running back scored a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter with 1:15 remaining. It was his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, tying Allen in 2023 for the second-most in a single season. Cook has one game left to tie or possibly surpass O.J. Simpson’s record of 16 rushing touchdowns, set in the 1975 season. 7. Tyrell Shavers got into the action. Promoted from the practice squad Saturday, Shavers made his first career catch in the fourth quarter. He took it 69 yards to the house for his first career touchdown, too. Shavers is the 13th Bill to catch a touchdown this season, which ties the all-time NFL record. 8. Alec Anderson went down with an injury. The Bills’ sixth offensive lineman, who enters the game in their often-used “jumbo package,” was hurt with 14:13 left in the second quarter. (Adding insult to injury, Anderson was flagged for holding on the play.) He was down for a minute or so before being able to jog off the field. Trainers taped up Anderson’s left ankle on the sideline, and he was cleared to return. Anderson was shaken up again midway through the fourth quarter but again jogged off the field. 9. Damar Hamlin was still out. The team’s starting safety missed his third straight game because of a rib injury. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel, dealing with a rib injury of his own, missed his second straight game. 10. Kaiir Elam was inactive. The team’s 2022 first-round draft pick had started the past two games with Douglas injured, but went back to being a healthy inactive against the Jets. Joining him as healthy inactives against New York were linebacker Nicholas Morrow, rookie offensive tackle Tylan Grable, defensive tackle Austin Johnson and safety Lewis Cine are the Bills' healthy inactive players. Cine was promoted from the practice squad Saturday. Cornerback Sauce Gardner, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and wide receiver Davante Adams were active for New York despite having been listed as questionable Friday. Gardner, however, left the game in the third quarter because of a hamstring injury. The Jets' inactives included cornerbacks Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Kendall Sheffield, Qwan'tez Stiggers, safety Jaylin Simpson, kicker Anders Carlson and edge rusher Braiden McGregor.

ESTERO, Fla. (AP) — Sydney Shaw scored 20 points and made four 3-pointers, JJ Quinerly added 14 points and No. 12 West Virginia handed Boise State its first loss, 82-47 on Saturday in the Gulf Coast Showcase. West Virginia advances to the championship game on Sunday, while Boise State plays for third place. The Mountaineers have started 8-0 in back-to-back seasons after last year's 11-0 beginning.

AP women’s college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketballThe NFL has fined Seattle Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant $6,594 for an unsportsmanlike penalty he received in Week 12's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Bryant intercepted Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray midway through the third quarter and returned it for a touchdown. As Bryant crossed the goal line, he paid tribute to former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's famous "Beastquake" celebration NFL insider Tom Pelissero posted the play on X. The NFL fined #Seahawks CB Coby Bryant $6,594 for unsportsmanlike conduct (obscene gestures) — his Marshawn Lynch tribute with a crotch grab on the way into the end zone last week. pic.twitter.com/Krkb5y3def Getting fined for celebrations has been controversial among fans. Lynch was not fined or penalized when he first did the "Beastquake" celebration back in the 2011 postseason, however he was fined when he did it in 2014, which was also against the Cardinals. The NFL cited that Bryant made an obscene gesture by performing a "crotch grab." The amount of Bryant's fine is puzzling because Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was charged $19,697 for the exact same celebration just two weeks ago. Bryant commented on getting penalized for it after the game. “Actually, I talk to my dad and my brother before every game and I just sensed the energy from those two before the game, and I told them once I get a pick-six I was doing [the Lynch celebration], because we’re playing the Cardinals and everything,” Bryant said. Bryant won't likely dwell on this. Seattle got the win, and Bryant was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance. The 6-5 Seahawks now leads the NFC West by a tiebreaker over the Cardinals. The two teams will meet again in Week 14 in what will be a pivotal matchup.

No. 12 West Virginia women beat Boise State 82-47 to reach title game of Gulf Coast ShowcaseNiall O Ceallachain hailed a 'special' triumph as Na Fianna capped a historic night for Dublin clubs at Croke Park with a landmark AIB Leinster club SHC win. No club in Leinster had ever won both provincial titles, senior football and hurling, in their history, before this evening. Just five clubs - UCD, Portlaoise, Ballyboden St Enda's, Kilmacud Crokes and Na Fianna - had even reached both finals before today. Dalkey's Cuala became club number six on that list when they lined out against St Mary's, Ardee in this evening's provincial football final and by winning that game they went a step further as the first club to have won both. The Cuala hurlers previously won Leinster titles in 2016 and 2017. Remarkably, having taken over 50 years for a club to set that record, Na Fianna then matched it within hours when O Ceallachain's hurlers emulated the club's football team of 1999 by winning the Leinster title. Asked how it felt to have matched Cuala's achievement, O Ceallachain smiled. "I think they matched our achievement!" he said. "All joking aside, we were really, really pleased for Cuala. "Obviously for ourselves, we're just delighted. From a club perspective, to have those 10 or 15 minutes in Croke Park afterwards, having won a Leinster senior hurling championship, from where we've come from, I'm just really pleased for everybody in the club, families, all the coaches who put so much work into these lads and other lads across all codes. It's just really a special time for the club and I'm just really, really pleased for everyone." Na Fianna led for the entirety yet were almost reeled in as Kilcormac/Killoughey, the 2013 All-Ireland finalists, got the gap down to just a point with Conor Mahon's goal in the 39th minute. Na Fianna's response? To outscore the Offaly champions by 1-6 to 1-1 in the run-in, boy wonder Adam Screeney pulling back a consolation goal for Kilcormac-Killoughey at the death. "That's what it's all about really, isn't it?" said O Ceallachain of Na Fianna's strong show of character. "At this level, against high class teams, you're going to have periods where you're going well and you're going to have periods where you're taking punches. It's how you respond. "Similar enough to the last day, in the Martin's game, they came back and got a point ahead in that Martin's game, we went down then and got a goal. It was the same this time. That's the character and the resilience, that's what you need."
The dollar fell and Bitcoin’s rally stalled as traders viewed Donald Trump’s pick of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a measured choice, tempering some of the more fevered bets spurred by the president-elect’s victory. The greenback declined against major peers with the Aussie and euro leading gains, while Bitcoin fell below $97,000 before paring losses. Equity futures in Australia and Japan point to early gains Monday after US stocks rose 0.4% on Friday. Contracts in Hong Kong were steady. The early moves indicate elements of the so-called Trump Trade are cooling after the incoming president named Bessent, who runs macro hedge fund Key Square Group, to oversee the US government debt market, tax collection and economic sanctions. While Bessent indicated he’ll back Trump’s tariff and tax cut plans, investors expect he will prioritize economic and market stability over scoring political points. “Following his other nominations, and the drawn-out battle among the contenders for the Treasury job, you could literally hear the sigh of relief from financial markets participants in the US when Bessent was announced,” Erik Nielsen, chief economics advisor at UniCredit Bank GmbH wrote in a note to clients. Bessent’s nomination may ease some concerns over Trump’s impact on other countries’ economies and currencies around the world. The dollar has now climbed for eight straight weeks, the longest advance in more than a year, as traders continued to price Trump’s fiscal policies including sweeping trade tariffs and persistent economic growth. The euro fell to a two-year low and the Swiss franc slid to the weakest against the greenback since July as speculative investors turned the most bullish on the dollar since late June. US stocks rose on Friday, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.4% as beneficiaries of the incoming administration’s looser regulation and business-friendly stance climbed. The Treasury curve flattened, with yields on 2-year notes climbing after strong US business activity data. Benchmark 10-year yields edged lower. Australia’s equivalent fell seven basis points in early Monday trading. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine helped to push West Texas Intermediate crude above $71 a barrel while gold traded at over $2,700 an ounce, and had its best week since March 2023. This week, traders in Asia will be closely monitoring Japan’s inflation data after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda last week indicated the December policy meeting is live. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to cut its key rate on Wednesday. Elsewhere, a swath of inflation and growth readings in Europe are due. The Federal Reserve’s November meeting minutes, consumer confidence and personal consumption expenditure data, the central bank’s preferred gauge of inflation, will be closely parsed to help assess the outlook for rate cuts next year. “Equity bulls will want to see a healthy bounce in the consumer data, married with a below consensus read on PCE inflation,” said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group in Melbourne. “With US swaps now implying a 36% chance of a 25 basis point cut from the Fed on 18 Dec, weaker US data would see pricing for a 25 basis point cut rise back above 50%, which should support equity risk and be a headwind for the US dollar.” Some of the main moves in markets: Currencies Cryptocurrencies Bonds Stocks This story was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions spent three months scoring at a historic rate. Now with the weather changing outside, they’re winning with old school football, too. Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for two scores , David Montgomery added a third TD run and Detroit's increasingly stingy defense kept the Indianapolis Colts out of the end zone on Sunday, leading the Lions to their ninth straight win, 24-6. “This is, whatever it is, 10 quarters without allowing a touchdown and the three last games in the second half we're not allowing it,” coach Dan Campbell said. “We talk about it all the time — limiting points, play physical style, shut down the run — we were able to do that.” They've been doing it all season in their greatest run in decades, but have been more effective lately and it has shown. The Lions improved to 10-1 for the first time since 1934, their inaugural season in the Motor City. They own the league's longest active winning streak and are 6-0 on the road this season. While the Lions have scored points by the dozens all season, Campbell's preference for physical football means they're equally capable of grinding out wins with the combination of a ball-control offense and an ascending defense that propelled them to this win. Gibbs finished with 21 carries for 90 yards on a day Goff went 26 of 36 with 269 yards and no touchdowns. And for the third straight week, all against AFC South foes, the Lions had a second-half shutout. “If you can win on the road, you're normally a pretty damn good team,” Campbell said. “And we can win on the road.” The Colts (5-7) found out the hard way by losing their second straight home game and for the fourth time in their past five games. Anthony Richardson had another up-and-down game , going 11 of 28 with 172 yards while rushing 10 times for 61 yards. But it was Indy's inability to finish drives with touchdowns that again cost the team. That flaw was evident right from the start when Richardson took the Colts inside the Lions 5-yard line on the game's first series and settled for a short field goal when they couldn't punch it in. “We've got to take advantage of our opportunities,” Colts coach Shane Steichen said. “This league comes down to inches, it comes down to yards and you've got to take advantage of those opportunities. We've had issues down in the red zone and you have to look at the tape and clean it up.” Detroit made Indy pay dearly for its offensive miscues. Gibbs' 1-yard TD run on the Lions' second series made it 7-3 early in the second quarter and after Indy settled for another short field goal, Montgomery spun his way across the goal line for a 6-yard TD and a 14-6 lead. Detroit's defense made sure that was all the scoring punch it needed. “Those players, we've been around each other long enough, they've been around each other to know exactly what we're looking for,” Campbell said. “We have an identity about us. We know the critical factors as they pertain to winning, and those guys take that stuff serious.” Gibbs' 5-yard TD run late in the third quarter gave Detroit a 21-6 lead and they closed it out with a 56-yard field goal midway through the fourth. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six passes for 62 yards for Detroit while Michael Pittman Jr. had six catches for 96 yards for Indy despite leaving briefly in the first half with an injured shoulder. Gibbs' first score extended Detroit's league record to 25 consecutive games with a TD run, including the playoffs. He's also the third Lions player with 1,000 scrimmage yards and 10 TDs in each of his first two pro seasons with Detroit, joining Billy Sims and Barry Sanders. Gibbs and Montgomery have each scored at least one TD in the same game nine times. Lions: Things got ugly during a third-quarter flurry. Receiver-punt returner Kalif Raymond (foot), left tackle Taylor Decker (right leg) and Montgomery (shoulder) all left in quick succession. Raymond and Montgomery did not return. Decker did. CB Carlton Davis II left early in the fourth with what appeared to be a left knee injury. Colts: Indy deactivated left tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee), forcing the Colts to again use three rookie linemen. Receivers Ashton Dulin (ankle) and Josh Downs (shoulder) both left in the second half. Downs returned, Dulin did not. Lions: Host Chicago in its traditional Thanksgiving Day game.
