It’s not always easy to define Midwestern cuisine. At its heart and soul, Midwestern cuisine is rooted in comfort foods, but that doesn’t mean we can’t imbue staple dishes of meat, potatoes, farm-fresh vegetables and fresh-baked goods with a comfortable dose of creativity.

The Royals need a translator to communicate with outfielder Nori Aoki, who was acquired from Milwaukee in the offseason and who is the team’s first Japanese-born position player and just their fourth overall from Japan, but it looks like a snug and happy fit so far.
Why aren’t more airports like ours? Because it was built for a future with supersonic passenger service — a future that never materialized.

A review by The Star of public records from Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park and Olathe tracking the replacement of residential heating and cooling units in 2013 determined that permits were rarely pulled. The records showed that some of the area’s well-known and established heating and cooling companies took out few if any permits. This means many homeowners don’t get safety inspections to ensure carbon monoxide is vented properly.
After becoming international sensations two weeks ago when the judges ran out of words, Kush and Sophia Hoffman met again Saturday for a chance to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. When Kush finally won, the polite young man gave the moderator a handshake before hurriedly going to Sophia. They hugged.
The three-day negotiating window for NFL free agency began Saturday, and the Chiefs have about $9.62 million to spend, barring any restructures or other cap moves. That’s not a lot, but it’s enough to seek some cost-effective solutions at various positions that are considered to be team needs.
