ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – It’s a video one south St. Louis County homeowner couldn't believe: a DoorDash driver stealing a package right off her porch while delivering her food. And the driver appeared to look right at the homeowner’s Ring doorbell camera.The video comes from Jennifer Carroll’s Ring doorbell on her front porch near Heege Road. As seen in the video, the DoorDash driver walks up and drops off her food. But instead of walking away, he looks down at the package, grabs it, and takes off.Carroll says she watched the whole thing happen live on her phone.“I couldn't believe what I was seeing!” Carroll said. “I was like, ‘Really?'”The thief's brazenness shocked Carroll.“He was stealing from me, knowing that I could report it to DoorDash, and they could track him. So, if he would have saw the camera, I don't think he would have cared,” Carroll said. “I think he still would have taken it.”So, what did this dasher dash off with? A 12-pack of energy drinks. 1 child dead, 4 peopl...

KIRKWOOD, Mo. – Overlooking the brand-new pickleball courts she worked hard to head off, Julie Missey reflected on the problem with her neighbor’s property.“We had given the club substantial evidence before they built the pickleball courts that they were building too close to residential properties,” she said. “And now their members have a pickleball facility they can’t even use.”The results of a sound study revealed on Monday that noise generated by pickleball play on Greenbriar Hills Country Club’s courts exceeded acceptable levels under St. Louis County’s noise ordinance.“I’m relieved for the time being that my neighbors and I aren’t going to be subjected to the constant crack of a pickleball paddle,” Missey said.“The end result is that it was too loud,” Jonathan Raiche, Kirkwood's Planning and Development Services Coordinator, said.FOX 2 first interviewed Raiche in January, after Kirkwood’s City Council approved the Greenbriar Hills plan to construct the courts."The approval tha...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:34 GMT

By Mia Leimkuhler, The New York TimesI always have mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup in my fridge. Multiples of each, more like it: I have plain mayo and Kewpie, Dijon, whole-grain and ballpark yellow mustards, as well as a bottle of ketchup so large it really counts as two. So this week’s selection of easy and fast recipes features meals that lean on these classic condiments for flavor and depth. (I’m also including a delightful pickle soup recipe because I always have a massive jar of half-sours on hand.)1. Miso-Mustard SalmonIn this single-skillet recipe, miso and Dijon mustard create a one-two punch of salty and spicy to balance the sweetness of salmon and cabbage. Slather the mighty combination on the salmon fillets, sprinkle with sesame seeds for crunch, then roast on top of caramelized, crisp-tender cabbage. Serve with steamed rice or sweet potatoes if you like, then use the remaining sauce to drizzle over everything. The thinned miso mustard is also great to have around as a s...
