New to US. Which brokers offer best margin accounts? For e.g. I have equities worth $100K and want to trade options.

Was able to do so in London, Hong Kong, and India. However, Robinhood here doesn’t seem to allow it.

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest!
