EASY GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF By Monica Sinclair My parents are coming over this weekend to help us out with something, so I thought it would be nice to make lunch for them, especially since I don't cook as much as I used to with both of our children having moved out. However, my dad can be a bit picky, so I asked my mom what I could make for him. She said something with ham- burger. While thinking about it, I remembered one of my favorite dishes as a child was beef stroganoff. I haven't had it in a long time and went in search of a recipe. I was able to find a really easy one and am looking forward to making it. I hope you are too. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1/2 pound ground beef • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms • 1 medium onion, chopped • 1 garlic clove, minced • 1 can (10 -3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mush- room or cream of chicken soup, undiluted • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 3 cups cooked egg noodles • 1 cup sour cream DIRECTIONS 1.

More than half a million Americans have died of COVID-19 and, in Indiana, families are grieving the loss of nearly 15,000 loved ones. The pandemic will de- fine a generation of children who lost a parent, grandparent or caregiver. A re- cent study estimates 43,000 US children lost a parent to COVID-19, not to men- tion the countless grandparents that have died as well. In response to this need, Youth First will provide two free, day-long grief re- covery retreats for kids this summer. Called Camp Memories, this retreat be- gan five years ago as a way to address the need to help children in our community cope with grief. The Youth First program takes place on a designated Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Master's level social workers fa- cilitate the program. At Camp Memo- ries, losing a loved one is the common denominator among participants. Chil- dren spend an entire day surrounded by people who have a true understanding of what they've experienced. Camp Memories incorporates a variety of activities that help remove barriers to healthy grieving through games, art ther- apy activities, and free play. Geared to meet the needs of kids from first through twelfth grade, the camp creates a safe en- vironment for bereaved kids to process what they're going through and get the care they need. Additionally, parents are given an opening and closing meeting to keep them informed and equip them to be helpful as their kids leave the camp. At the beginning of the day, children are typically hesitant about participat- ing and nervous about what will be dis- cussed. As the day progresses, they be- gin sharing their experiences as well as their emotional responses to these expe- riences. Sadness, anger, guilt, worry and fear are some of the common emotions children express throughout the day. Allowing them an opportunity to talk about their grief through activities geared for children helps them make sense of their emotions. Invariably, by the end of the day the group is smiling, chatting, and having fun playing with new friends. This year's Camp Memories dates are June 12 at Washington Middle School in Evansville and May 29 at Camp Illiana in Washington (Daviess County). Both camps start at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. If your child has experienced the loss of a loved one and is interested in partici- pating, contact your school's Youth First School Social Worker or Laura Keys at 812-421-8336 x 107. Space is limited. This is a free program that depends on dona- tions to continue providing grief support for children. Heather Miller, LCSW, is the Youth First Social Worker for Washington Mid- dle School in Vanderburgh County. Laura Keys, LCSW, is the Vice President of So- cial Work and Programs at Youth First, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to strengthen- ing youth and families, provides 64 Mas- ter's level social workers to 92 schools in 11 Indiana counties. Over 60,000 youth and families per year are served by Youth First's school social work and after school programs that prevent substance abuse, promote healthy behaviors and maximize student success.

My So Called Millennial Life By Stephanie Hayes Instagram sold me pillow slides This summer's hottest look is "I give up." Oh, you thought it was going to be a sexy, fashiony summer? Wrong! Good day, sir! The pandemic has worn us down, changed us in ways we cannot reverse. Today, I give you Pillow Slides. You might know them by a thousand names — SnugSlips, Cloud Cushion Slides, Crush Slides, Sootheez. Steve Madden makes some. If you are Kendall Jenner, your squishy sandals are $ 800 Yeezy slides. Other pricey interpretations come from The Attico, Bottega Veneta and Loeffler Randall. By now, you have gone down an Am- azon rabbit hole, where you will find descriptors such as "foot heaven," "ex- tra-thick," "waterproof" and "your best years are slipping away." They come in a few colors, with no discernible stylistic point of view other than "large." It's as if Adidas pool slides, omnipresent since the 1960s, took growth hormone. Now that you've Googled, you will be flooded with ads that render you powerless. I know; it happened to me. Like Victoria Beckham, I would rather die than wear lilac Crocs. But that was be- fore COVID-19 times. Where I used to take pleasure in cu- rating creative outfits for work, I now sit in a home of- fice dressed like one of the Goonies. The data reflects our changing lives. The NPD Group, which studies con- sumer trends, reports that dress and ca- sual shoe sales were already declining pre-pandemic, losing ground to sports- wear and athleisure. Aesthetics have re- laxed, which is why everything looks so ducklike. Dad shoes, anyone? "The more comfortable, more func- tional, more utilitarian — some people call it ugly — has really be- come today's fashion," said Beth Goldstein, NPD's footwear and accessories industry analyst. The NPD Group sur- veyed 1,500 social me- dia users, and 13 percent said they had purchased something impulsively while scrolling in the past year. Only 7 percent said they would do it again. Indeed, while one-click shopping during "Mare of Easttown," every foamy slides video sailed into my Instagram feed. They looked plush, with polished toes slipping into a 4.5 -centimeter sole, heels bouncing off compression material.
