Veal slices cut from the leg, slowly cooked in wine and herbs form the basis for this rich and tasty dish from Milan. The secret to this dish is a garnish of fresh parsley, grated lemon peel, and garlic called gremolada. It’s added at the end and gives the dish a light, fresh taste.It only takes a few minutes to prepare the ingredients and then just let it cook on its own for about one hour.Helpful Hints:Veal shanks cut for osso buco can be found in the meat case in many supermarkets. Or ask the butcher to cut 2-inch slices from the hind shank of the veal. It is meatier and more tender than the front shank.Broccoli or broccolini can be used instead of broccoli rabe.This can be made ahead and rewarmed. If the sauce becomes too thick or the pan dry, add a little water to it. If making ahead, add the broccoli rabe when rewarming the dish.Chop vegetables in a food processor.TAG GOES HEREOsso Buco alle Milanese (Braised Veal Shanks)INGREDIENTS1 tablespoon flourSalt and freshly ground bla...Quigley: Without more Ukraine aid, conflict will grow

We are running out of time and money for Ukraine.Last week, the White House Office of Management and Budget made it clear that without the approval of additional funding, we will no longer be able to aid Ukraine.If we fail to heed this warning, we risk derailing the progress Ukraine has made and handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a victory. We also risk sending a message to other autocrats that incursion into free democracies will go unopposed.The domino effect of his victory would jeopardize the free world for generations to come.In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt: “We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away.”That is why we must act.If we allow Putin to run roughshod over Ukraine, it is only a matter of time before we face the greatest conflict in Eastern Europe since World War II, requiring direct engagement by the United States to defend our NATO allies.If Putin is succes...Say cheers to the holidays with these spirited gifts

The first snowflakes of the season swirled outside my window this afternoon, a sure sign fall’s temperate weather will soon be in our rearview mirror.A cozy sweater and heated car seats help to ward off the chill. But now is also the time to warm up both the body and soul with winter comfort foods like this spiced-up, cheesy meatloaf.Assertively seasoned with ancho chile powder, cumin and charred Anaheim peppers, it’s a spicy Mexican take on the favorite American diner food. Shredded cheese and a spicy-sweet chipotle glaze add even more personality.If you serve the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, a little goes a long way, which means there will be leftovers for sandwiches.To roast the chile peppers on a gas stovetop, place them directly on the metal grates over the gas burner. Allow the peppers to cook and sizzle, turning often with a pair of tongs, until black spots appear on the cooked surfaces.Remove the peppers from the stove and immediately tran...Editorial: Pakistan creating world’s next refugee crisis
Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:25:24 GMT
Amid wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, Western governments have limited capacity to deal with another humanitarian crisis. Yet a decision by Pakistan to expel hundreds of thousands of Afghans threatens to create a new wave of refugees and destabilize an already volatile region. Preventing the chaos from spreading needs to be a priority for the U.S. and its partners.In October, Pakistan’s caretaker government announced that all foreigners residing in the country without legal documents would have to leave by Nov. 1. Pakistan hosts more than 3 million refugees and migrants from neighboring Afghanistan, including roughly 600,000 who fled after the Taliban regained power in August 2021. About 1.7 million of them were believed to lack proper papers when the expulsion order was issued. Since then, more than 400,000 have crossed into Afghanistan.Pakistan says its decree doesn’t target Afghans specifically. But some officials have linked the policy to a recent upsurge in attacks by milit...Dear Abby: Love blooms within blended ‘family’

Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend, “George,” for 17 years following our divorces. I have three grown children. He has four — two of whom are still at home. We have never lived together.My daughter and George’s son (still at home) had a crush on each other when they were teenagers. Fast-forward 10 years — they have reunited and expressed their love for one another. Although George cares deeply for all my children, I’m afraid he feels my daughter may not be the best choice for his son. She is unemployed and has health issues, and his family’s opinions (they are VERY outspoken and value a strong work ethic) weigh heavily on his son.George “parents” his adult children who are still living with him. (George stayed home until he got married at 30.) His parenting style includes hollering at his kids when they’re not tending to their chores or his directives or they’re staying out all night. This could possibly come ...Suspect arrested in illegal fireworks case
