Q:Which “Property Brothers” twin is Zooey Deschanel dating? How did they meet? Is the other brother married? — P.I.
A:Zooey Deschanel, best known for “New Girl,” and Jonathan Scott of the “Property Brothers” home renovation show on HGTV met while singing together on “Carpool Karaoke: The Series.” Jonathan and his twin brother, Drew, appeared with Zooey and her sister, Emily Deschanel (“Bones”). Apparently, Jonathan was so smitten and flirtatious with Zooey during filming that producers later told him they had to cut a bunch of the footage.
Their relationship lasted through the pandemic and their own home renovation project. Now, four years later, they are engaged to be married. Both have very busy careers. Zooey is acting in the Apple TV+ series “Physical,” and Jonathan is six seasons into the show “Celebrity IOU” with Drew on HGTV.
Both of the lovebirds also sing. Zooey is one half of the duo “She & Him” — him being M. Ward — and Jonathan has released several singles with his brother. He’s also opened for “She & Him” and has a side gig as a magician with a private group of illusionists.
As for Drew, he’s been happily married to Linda Phan since 2018. They met eight years earlier at a Toronto Fashion Week event. They have one son together, Parker, who will be 2 next May.

Q:
I was watching the new season of “Bosch: Legacy.” At the beginning of an episode, there was a statement that said “In Loving Memory of ...,” but I didn’t recognize the names. Who were they?
— K.J.
A:“Bosch: Legacy” is a spin-off of the Amazon Prime Video series “Bosch,” which aired from 2014-2021. “Bosch: Legacy,” which airs on Amazon Freevee, had its second season premiere recently and paid tribute to actors Lance Reddick and Annie Wersching, who passed away this year from heart disease and cancer, respectively.
Both were recognizable character actors in Hollywood. Wersching played rookie police officer Julia Brasher on a recurring basis throughout the run of “Bosch,” and Reddick played police
A:It’s been about two years since Trevor Noah exited Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” but a new permanent host has yet to be announced. Many thought Ray Wood Jr., who was a correspondent on the show for eight years, would be named. However, when it became apparent that he wasn’t the chosen one, Wood Jr. announced that he was leaving the show altogether. More recently, it appeared that former correspondent Hasan Minhaj (2014-18) was the frontrunner, but his name was marked off the list after the New Yorker did an unflattering exposé on him. Comedy Central has issued a vague statement that a permanent replacement will be announced sometime in 2024.

* On Nov. 13, 1985, the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia erupted in the late evening and caused volcanic mudflows that flooded the city of Armero, killing 25,000 residents. The tragedy is considered to be one of the deadliest volcano-related disasters in the 20th century.
* On Nov. 14, 1851, Herman Melville’s epic novel “Moby-Dick,” about peg-legged Captain Ahab’s obsessive search for vengeance on the white whale that maimed him, made its debut in the U.S. Published to mixed reviews, it was a commercial failure and achieved its present standing as a Great American Novel only after the centennial of Melville’s birth.
* On Nov. 15, 1956, the movie “Love Me Tender,” a black-and-white musical Western starring the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, was released.

parties unify behind an NDP motion
supporting the government refusing to collect carbon tax on natural gas Jan. 1 unless the feds shape up
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
Members from all parties in the Saskatchewan Legislature unanimously approved a motion, brought forward by the NDP, to “scrap the carbon tax on everything for everyone. ” And if the federal government refuses to scrap the carbon tax, that all forms of home heating across Canada be exempt from the carbon tax” the motion said the Government of Saskatchewan will to not collect and remit the carbon tax on bills beginning January 1st, 2024.
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
The motion, after an amendment from the government, passed 52-0. It was a rare moment of unanimity, supporting a plan which the premier earlier in the day admitted could be “illegal.” But Saskatchewan is going ahead, nonetheless.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
In Question Period, New Democratic Leader and Leader of the Opposition Carla Beck asked Saskatchewan Party Premier Scott Moe about what the government was doing costof-living and affordability for Saskatchewan residents. Moe replied, “I would say the largest affordability measure that we would be able to see over the course of the last while would be an extension of the federal government’s carbon tax abatement that is today focused primarily in Atlantic Canada, to extend that to all home heating sources, including natural gas which is predominantly used in Saskatchewan.”

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
Beck said, “It’s extraordinary, but we found some agreements between the two sides of the House. Clearly, clearly what the federal government is doing isn’t fair. It’s not fair to allow the exemption in some parts of Canada but not extend that to the West. In fact, I’d say it’s extraordinarily unfair, and directing SaskEnergy to not collect the federal carbon tax is an extraordinary but justified measure if a deal to restore fairness can’t be found. But, it’s clear that the people of this province can’t wait until January 1st for relief. They need relief today. So when will the Premier roll back some of the measures that he’s imposed on Saskatchewan people to offer that relief today?”
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
Moe replied that SaskEnergy has already applied an 8 per cent reduction in natural gas bills.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
He added, “When it comes to the federal government’s unfair policy favouring families in Atlantic Canada, and not by any stretch favouring families with a policy that I would say . . . that’s a carbon tax policy that we have always said is the wrong policy, but at least in years gone by was enacted fairly. Today it’s still the wrong policy. It isn’t being enacted fairly today.
“And so we would say three things with respect to that. First, still our belief that the federal government should scrap the carbon tax for everyone on everything. That’s priority number one. Second is they should

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
extend their pause to all forms of heating. And if not, SaskEnergy is going to quit collecting the federal carbon tax come January the 1st.”
Beck pressed for some sort of fiscal relief, asking, “What is his plan to get a deal that offers the same relief to people here in Saskatchewan?”
Moe said, “Well I’m pretty sure the people of this province, their voice is being heard and heard well today with respect to ensuring that federal government, propped up by the NDP, Mr. Speaker, the federal government is fully aware that we believe that this carbon tax scheme that they have enacted, of which we have never agreed with, is removed for everyone on everything. That’s priority one — remove this carbon tax scheme, this Trudeau carbon tax scheme that is supported by the NDP.”
Referring to the federal NDP, Moe said, “If there was ever a reason, if there was ever a reason to write your federal leader and say, remove our party from this confidence and supply agreement that you have signed, today is that day.

Freezer-Friendly Feast:
Big Batch Bolognese Sauce for Less-Stress Holidays
The whirlwind of the holiday season is fast approaching. Making delicious, homemade meals ahead and storing them in your freezer is an excellent way to relieve some holiday stress and limit unplanned drive-thru meals. This week, I’m sharing my recipe for Big Batch Bolognese Sauce. It’s a slow-cooked, rich, meaty and versatile sauce that’s delicious. It’s made with ground beef, veggies, tomatoes, wine and milk. Yes, milk. Milk gives Bolognese its distinctive creaminess.
Bolognese freezes beautifully and can be divided and used to make many different dishes. Bolognese goes in pasta, lasagna, deep dish pizzas, baked potatoes and my favorite — served over spaghetti squash.
BIG BATCH BOLOGNESE SAUCE
Yield: 18-20 (1 cup) servings
Total Time: 4 hours
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
3 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
5 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups red or white wine (or beef broth)
2 (28 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
2 cups whole milk
3 bay leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, over medium heat, saute onions, carrots and celery until they’re softened and begin to caramelize. Then add the butter and garlic, and saute until fragrant. Lightly season with salt and pepper. We’re adding Parmesan later, so go easy on the salt for now. Remove the veggies and keep them warm.
In the same pot, turn up the heat to medium-high. Brown the beef in three to four batches, breaking it into small pieces and seasoning lightly. After each batch, use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked beef, and drain as much fat as possible. You want the beef to brown and hopefully leave behind some browned bits (fond) in the pan.
to paste. This step adds tremendous depth of flavor.
Now add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up all those lovely browned bits from the bottom. When most of the wine has evaporated, about 3 minutes, add the diced tomatoes, milk and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for at least 2 hours, but preferably 4 hours. The longer, the better. To serve, remove the bay leaves and add the Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to the package directions. This sauce pairs wonderfully with a wide pasta like tagliatelle or pappardelle, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Don’t forget to top it with more Parmesan. And if you have some of that wine left from the recipe, enjoy it with your meal.
Now let’s talk about how to make the most of this sauce. To freeze it, the most crucial step is to cool it completely to refrigerator temperature before preparing it for freezing. Portion it into zip-top freezer bags. For the best flavor, use it within three months, but it’s safe to eat for a year.
Yes, making this recipe takes some time, but most of it is handsoff. Once it’s done and waiting in your freezer, you can have a hearty, homemade dinner ready in the time it takes to boil pasta. Enjoy!

After the last batch of beef, return the veggies and cooked beef to the pot. Add the Italian seasoning and tomato paste, stirring to coat every morsel with tomato goodness. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 5 minutes to caramelize the toma-
