She is a 2-year-old spayed Retriever-mix. The Grants Animal Shelter says she is the most calm dog they currently have. She gets along with everyone and loves having any attention.

Are you ready to tantalize your taste buds with a culinary adventure?

Dal, in its various forms, is a global nutritional powerhouse, transcending cultural boundaries and culinary preferences. Whether it’s...
