  Hello, my hungry friends!   Today, I’m sharing a recipe for one of my favorite foods: sweet buns. Jagodzianki are soft and sweet yeasted buns filled with blueberries and topped with buttery crumble. They usually prepared in the midst of summer, when wild blueberries are picked.  Spring and summer season bring a lot of wild blueberries to our tables so I’m cooking up my own version. It is quite common here in Poland to venture out into the woods and pick wild blueberries. The wild berries are smaller and quite juicy. They are dark blue, almost black when they’re…

State Rep. Craig Haggard isn’t playing politics right now. He’s playing defense — not for himself, but for his wife, who was reportedly targeted in an alleged deepfake video that falsely depicted her topless during a charity event. The Mooresville Republican said he found out about the existence of the supposed video while driving back from Florida. Since then, it’s been nonstop calls with prosecutors, investigators, and statehouse colleagues — most of whom, he says, aren’t taking the situation nearly as seriously as they should. “At the end of the day, I’m a husband first,” Haggard told reporters. “I don’t…
