Roast Chicken With Plums Gets a Touch of Spice for Rosh Hashana

Sumac helps temper the sour and the sweet into a happy balance. (Article plus video.)

"You’ll get honey drizzled on apples, sugar in the gefilte fish, orange juice in the tsimmes (a dish of carrots and prunes), and possibly all three in brisket. And that’s not even mentioning the honey cake for dessert. A sweet new year’s meal is one of the finer aspects of Jewish tradition.
The only problem: When things veer from pleasing to cloying. The job of the cook is to play up the sour as well as the sweet, and let them temper each other into a happy balance.
Usually this means a splash of vinegar or squeeze of lemon or lime. But sumac, a spice crushed from a tart red berry that thrives all over the Middle East, accomplishes the same goal, adding a mild earthy fragrance along the way."

Serena Williams’s Victory Sets Up a Showdown With Her Sister

She will meet Venus Williams in the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open, where Venus will attempt to deny her a Grand Slam.

"For the fairest"
No war.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War
"The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the Apple of Discord, marked "for the fairest". Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy."

Does Down Syndrome Justify Abortion?

There’s no easy answer, and politicians can’t simply legislate away the problem.

I think so.
It is always the mother's decision.

Young Methodists Plant Churches With Environmental Gospel

For a small cadre of ministers, environmentalism is about more than pollution and global warming; it’s about links between consumption patterns and inequality.

I find that I am not concerned with worship.
I am not a believer in resurrection or the soul.

My fellow beings should save themselves from pain.
I can help them toward that goal.

Adult, Autistic and Ignored

There is virtually no substantive national discussion on the fate of older autistic people like my brother.

Throwing money at the problem would help.  Staff would be paid a living wage. Institutions could form more easily.  Better managers could be hired and retained.
The need is not infinite.
