Task Ahead For New Government: Green Agenda For Sustainable Punjab
The SAD-BJP government has assumed office in Punjab. Obviously the new government will announce its plan with in few days. These elections were fought on the issue of development. It is a fashion to brand every economic and construction activity –the development. The development has become very catchy phrase these days. Every body talks about development, but despite being known as developed state Punjab is experiencing the burns of this so-called development. It is one of most debt ridden state; it has witnessed thousands of farmers' suicides, its environment is one of most degraded, it has almost lost its precious wealth of natural resources, it is in midst of the most severe environmental health crisis in the world. Ironically this developed state was the first where indebted villages had put themselves on sale.
And now, the meat sacrifice
Editor's note: This is Week 3 in our writer's experiment with giving up different foods. Next week: flour products. I loaded up on the bloody stuff the week before I knew I'd exile it from my life. I sampled 10 different chilis in one sitting. Fat wheels of soft salami. A pork burrito the size of a football. A bowl of raw fish at a Japanese restaurant. An entire plate of egg salad, shoveled frantically down my gullet with a spoon one afternoon, alone in the kitchen. Slabs of roasted cod spritzed with lemon. More ... much more. And then I awoke on a Monday to the sad conclusion of the flesh fiesta. I'd turned vegan. No meat, fish or eggs, plus the dairy I'd eliminated from my diet the previous week. And the first week of this journalistic experiment - I was removing categories of foods from my diet a week at a time to see how difficult it would be, and to find out if it affected my body and mood - I'd rejected sugar.
Traditional Turkish cuisine served in luxury restaurants
For reasons still unknown, many restaurants in Istanbul will invoke traditional Turkish cuisine during the month of Ramadan. Despite the fact that there are many restaurants that specialize in different kinds of dishes, the number of those considered fine dining serving a variety of dishes is very low. Feriye Restaurant, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, is a special one among these fine dining establishments. Vedat Baaran, the chef and manager of Feriye Restaurant, studied tourism in university and went to Britain in 1984 for his Master's degree. He was impressed by the well-educated people working in London's food sector and decided to study the art of cuisine. While working as an assistant chef on the BBC, a chicken pastry recipe from the Aegean region helped him rediscover his own cuisine culture and guided his interest towards Ottoman and traditional Anatolian cuisine.
Outraged by request
I am totally outraged to have the present city government think my memory is so short that they dare ask me to re-elect them to continue in their course of gross malfeasance.Think back just a short while and recall the comedy (jesting of course) of hiring of the past city manager; a reject from his previous post of trust. Even on his departure he was given thousands of dollars of our money to get rid of him. Want more?Following this individual was a female hiring that went ever bit as sour as the city manager. Then there are all the lawsuits against the city, which are costing the taxpayers untold thousands of dollars. Not enough yet? Then how about our city utility bills? Want still more?Wal-Mart coming to town was an economic blessing to those on small incomes or pensions, yet some in the city government put their own agenda ahead of the taxpayers.
Food for Thought: Cognito or incognito
The best part of Purim is the dressing up. Some would say it's the food, but after years of dieting and promising that by Pessah I'll fit into "that black skirt," I have changed my mind. Currently, I eye all those sweets and wonderful treats with suspicion. It has therefore been decided that the best part of Purim is the dressing up, and the great shame of it is, how few adults take part in the custom. Dressing up is not one of the four mitzvot we are meant to observe on Purim. In fact, concerning a holiday where little is mentioned in terms of obligations, dressing up isn't mentioned at all. From where does the tradition stem? I found two historical sources. First, in the 16th century, the Italian Gentile community would have their masquerades after Lent, which occurred around the same time as Purim.
