Trump acknowledges he would have to clear unexploded ordnance to redevelop Gaza, but U.S. troops are prohibited by law from doing humanitarian demining missions and the State Dept. issued a global stop-work order to all the demining groups it funds www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

These are the cookbooks I am currently reading: @oliahercules.bsky.social Home Food, @luisaweiss.bsky.social Classic German Cooking & Alice Zaslavsky’s Better Cooking. I use Olia’s recipes to make Ukrainian food for my BF, who especially misses his late Mom’s varenyky & her vushka in borshch. 💙💛

The book cover of Olia Hercules’ HOME FOOD with beautiful hand drawn swirly plants, including cabbages, apples and raspberries, surrounding the title & author’s name in white on a blue background.

Book cover of Luisa Weiss’ CLASSIC GERMAN COOKING with the title and author’s name in white on a blue background. There is a small taupe coloured baking pot under the title and some light blue scalloped edging around the edges of the book.

Book cover of Alice Zaslavsky’s Better Cooking with an illustrated copperish metallic frying pan with a black interior. There is a pat of butter melting inside with some parsley sprigs. An open head of garlic and beet surround the pan and a small woman in black and white wearing a star printed one piece bathing suit and swim cap is diving into the pan and making a colourful splash. A woman’s red manicured hand filled with salt is on the right hand top corner. She is wearing a frilly pink and red long sleeved blouse and is getting ready to put salt in the pan.
