Colts QB Richardson taken to hospital with orbital fracture after elastic band mishap
The Indianapolis Colts were without their backup quarterback, Anthony Richardson, after he suffered an orbital fracture during the buildup to Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.ESPN reported that Richardson was hit with an elastic exercise band while warming up in the locker room before the game.Equipment used to contain the band failed and it whipped into Richardson’s face, causing the fracture.The 23-year-old was taken to hospital but the Colts did not provide any further details.The Colts selected Richardson with the No 4 overall pick in 2023.
He is a threat in the passing and running game, and scouts saw him as having huge upside but also potential as a bust when he came out of college.His time in the NFL so far has been plagued by inconsistency and injuries and Daniel Jones has taken over as the Colts starter this season, leading them to a 5-1 record.The Colts suffered another blow during warmups for Sunday’s game when they lost their No 1 cornerback, Charvarius Ward, to a concussion.
Helen Goh’s recipe for pumpkin cheesecake with maple pecan brittle | The sweet spot
Silky, spiced and just sweet enough, this pumpkin cheesecake is a celebration of autumnal comfort. I’m not a fan of tinned pumpkin – it’s watery and flat-tasting – so I’ve taken the extra step of roasting some butternut or Kent squash; the oven’s heat coaxes out its natural sweetness while evaporating excess moisture, resulting in a smooth, flavourful puree that gives the cheesecake real depth. The maple pecan brittle provides the final flourish: golden, nutty and with just the right amount of crunch to offset the cheesecake’s creamy softness.To make 200g pumpkin puree, chop 350-400g peeled, deseeded pumpkin into chunks, then roast, loosely covered, at 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6 until soft but not browned. Puree in a high-speed blender

Why bag-in-box wines are here to stay | Hannah Crosbie on drinks
Slap the bag? The wheel of goon? Or, perhaps, goon of fortune? If any of those collections of words mean anything to you (keep your double entendres to yourself, please), you may have fuzzy yet painful memories of bag-in-box wine. The cheapness and the format – not to mention the sheer volume you can buy it for – makes bag-in-box ripe for drinking games.The Guardian’s journalism is independent.

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for red peppers stuffed with orzo, tuna, capers and herbs | A kitchen in Rome
Just beyond the hard rush of Viale Marconi, in the quieter Via Gerolamo Cardano, is a popular bakery called Albanesi il forno delle meraviglie, meaning “the oven [or bakery] of wonders”. Established in 1959 by Aldo Albanesi, and now run by his sons Adriano and Alessandro, Albanesi is wondrous also for its size. Behind an 11-window shopfront lies almost 500 sq m of shop floor, and a small maze of laboratories in which almost everything that can be made is made: bread, pizza, pies, cakes, biscuits, fresh egg pasta, sauces, baked pasta and other dishes that are ready to eat. The snake of glass-fronted counters also hold cheese, other dairy products, cured meats, and vegetables and olives preserved in various ways, while the shelves are packed with everyday provisions of good and practical quality. This is a shop with something for everyone
Strong flat white for Batman: should I use a ‘coffee name’?
“What’s your name?” When people misspell it as “kangaroo”, the answer isn’t so straightforward.That’s why Kantaro Okada goes by “Ken” or “K” when grabbing takeaway. The operator of various Melbourne cafes (279, Le Bajo Milkbar) isn’t alone in disguising his identity. “Everyone has a coffee name at our office,” he says. “Because they have Japanese names
How to turn outer lettuce leaves into mayonnaise – recipe
Wildair in New York is a groundbreaking restaurant that has deeply influenced my cooking. It opened in 2015 as a sister to the now closed Contra, an impeccable fine-dining restaurant, and the same precision and ingenuity was applied to Wildair’s dishes, which have that perfect balance of elevated refinement and skilled execution, all combined with a casual playfulness. You can probably imagine my excitement, then, when I found out that one of my favourite dishes from one of my favourite restaurants also just happened to save waste by making an emulsion from the outer leaves of little gem lettuce cooked in butter. Pure genius.Only I would say this, but finding a use for the outer leaves of a lettuce has always niggled me
