What to Cook This Week

Chicken marinated in za’atar, herb-flecked basmati rice, or even a turkey ragù: Find comfort in cooking in the days ahead.

Another pasta dinner is as ambitious as I am today.

The week will be a busy one.

In South Korea, Election Looms as Ex-President Sits in Jail

Park Geun-hye’s name is still on the lips of candidates, who use her as a rallying cry for change or insist the bribery and other charges against her are false.

I can imagine no action I can take.
I will not get a 'smart phone'.
A smarter phone would be made by Samsung.
My Alcatel  G3 gets text messages.

Sending is beyond my skills at the moment.
At desperate need I will make an attempt.

Trump Visit Barely Rustles the Hedgerows of Bedminster

Eateries saw an uptick in activity and pro- and anti-Trump protesters turned out in modest numbers as the president stopped by his “Camp David North.”

I cannot force his attention.
I will not "get my head broken".

Tanzania Bus Crash Kills 35, Including 32 Schoolchildren

The victims were on a trip to another school when the vehicle they were in plunged into a ravine in the northern tourist region of Arusha on Saturday.

Tanzania is a sovereign nation.

If you must go I will accompany you.
I will need a passport and shots.

German State Vote Is Seen as an Indicator of the National Mood

Election results in the northernmost state will be viewed as reflecting voters’ moods ahead of key state and national elections later this year.

I expect Germany will continue to be conservative.
Times have been relatively good.

A Travel Ban’s Worst Enemy: A Young Firebrand and Her Pro Bono Brigade

Becca Heller and the group she began in law school have thwarted President Trump before, and will challenge him again in an appeals court on Monday.

They stand against the forces of panic and prejudice.
Spanish and Catholicism are not our enemies.

A Lonely Stand: Hindu Temple in Queens Joins Sanctuary Movement

The leaders of the Shaanti Bhavan Mandir hoped to enlist other temples in the effort to protect immigrants facing deportation. But fear is keeping more from coming forward, they said.

Trump and his agents are more effective than they should be.

A Monument to Jesus in the City of Mao

A big Protestant church in the city where Mao Zedong spent his youth has infuriated his most fervent admirers in China, but the city’s residents mostly shrug.

Ideological tolerance is a new thought.

Ivy Pittman, Melvin Outen

The couple met at Tuskegee, the university in Alabama, but lost contact and reconnected over Facebook.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

In a Fight for Land, a Women’s Movement Shakes Morocco

A grass-roots organization is seeking to protect tribal lands and gain equal ownership rights in a country where, by law, women inherit less than men.

Misogyny has been the way of the Imams.
I am told it is not sanctioned in the Koran.

"Women hold up half the sky"
They often do much more.

I should spend time and attention on the work.
