(KTLA) – Backyard surveillance cameras captured the tense moments when a small Maltese dog saved his little brother by chasing off a coyote that had gotten the younger dog in its mouth.  The owners of the pooches, David and Erin Mascaluso, say the incident happened earlier this month after a coyote jumped into their backyard one evening. Their hero dog, 11-year-old Vinny, who weighs all of 10 pounds and has only three teeth, was up for the challenge, they said. “He’s always been a scrapper, oh yeah,” David Mascaluso told Nexstar's KTLA. “The first day we brought him home, I went and I pet him and he started growling at me.”   Entire graduating class at Boyle Heights charter school accepted into 4-year universities In the video of the incident, the coyote can be seen jumping the fence and chasing Vinny’s brother, Harley, into a corner.

A better shrimp cocktail is closer than you think

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesThe best advice for making shrimp cocktail I ever learned came from the great chef and cookbook author James Beard.He was adamantly against it.Not the shrimp, of course, which he adored, but rather the “overpowering red menace known as cocktail sauce,” as he wrote in his classic cookbook, “The New James Beard.”“If you value their sweet and delicate flavor,” he said, pair your shrimp with lemon, mayonnaise or my personal favorite, a tangy rémoulade sauce.Beard’s classic French rémoulade calls for a homemade mayonnaise spiked with loads of capers, lemon juice and parsley.
