New Jersey has never been shy about its food opinions. Say “pork roll” or “Taylor ham” at a Garden State party, and you’ll quickly learn which end of the state everyone grew up in. Thanksgiving is no different. If you fill your plate here, you’ll likely find apple pie or apple crumble for dessert and […]
If you own a home in Burlington, Gloucester, or Monmouth Counties and think your assessment is too high, you have until Jan. 15 to file a tax appeal, according to NJ.com. That date lands months before the April 1 deadline that applies in most of the state. Why the split?...
Before the polls opened on Election Day, New Jersey Democrats had already built a 290,408-vote advantage over Republicans. That’s not a projection, a poll, or a calculation based on party registration. Those were actual ballots returned by voters, and while nobody knew precisely how they voted, the numbers gave Democrats an enormous head start before the first Election Day voter walked into a polling place.

Peruvian food has a funny way of putting French fries where you least expect them. Order lomo saltado and they arrive tossed alongside seared beef, tomatoes, and onions, with white rice waiting on the same plate. Then there is ceviche sharpened with lime, rotisserie chicken darkened over charcoal, fried rice...
Good barbecue runs on a clock, and in New Jersey that clock often stops well before dinnertime. Pulled pork takes hours of slow smoking, so once the day’s batch is gone, the kitchen can’t just whip up more. That’s why some of the best smokehouses in the Garden...

After weeks of tranquil fall weather, Central Jersey is in for a spell of wild weather this week, including the possibility of snow. The wild weather started Thursday afternoon with a tornado watch in effect until 7 p.m. as a cold front slices across New Jersey. It continues on Friday and Friday night as much colder air area drops into the region. Daytime highs are not expected to climb out of the 40s on Friday and Saturday, with gusts up to 30 mph on Saturday. Wind chills are expected to be in the 30s on Saturday. The Thursday noon runs of the American and European weather models are showing the possibility of snow in Central Jersey from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday mostly west of Somerville. However, the National Weather Service, in its updated forecast, discounts the possibility of any snow in Central Jersey with only "a few wet flakes mixing in" in elevated locations in northwestern New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley. It's too early to report the models' snowfall predictions. The ground is still warm. However, Sunday marks the eighth anniversary of a surprise snowstorm that dumped 4 to 7 inches of snow across Central Jersey.

It’s a question that is asked pretty regularly — are high schools getting students ready for college? Specifically, how well did high school prepare students at Rutgers for the math classes they have to take there? Not too well, said education consultant Chad Aldeman, who said his recent research found a case of extremes.
Conditions are gradually improving, though it remains a chilly, blustery and damp afternoon across the Tri-State Area.
