  • Greek peasant salad

    Jump

  • We make Greek Salad often as well. You already mentioned the Feta but I can also recommend adding some chickpeas. While not really part of a Greek salad traditionally, they do add a nice filling component to make it a satisfying meal.

  • Pakistan, China vow to deepen ‘all-weather strategic cooperative’ partnership

    Jump

  • It's amazing. Somehow China is currently managing to keep both Pakistan and India onside. I wonder how that came about...

  • Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

    Jump

  • They look really tasty! Thanks for sharing detailed instructions. I'll have to add these to the to do pile and try them at some point.

  • "Italian" pasta.

    Jump

  • I just checked the store brand Italian Salsiccia here (3,49 € for 300g, made in Italy) and it has 1% sugar (listed as dextrose). Supposedly dextrose is often used in raw sausage products to retain that juicy red colour, at least from what I read online.

  • "Italian" pasta.

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing; this looks amazing!

    Maybe I'm too naive on this question, but is there an actual answer to the legitimate question you raised:

    "why does every brand of Italian sausage contain sugar?"

    Indeed, why does a spicy sausage contain sugar?

  • Coffee and cookies

    Jump

  • These cookies look good. How did you make them? Do you have a recipe?

  • Russia orders state-backed Max messenger app to be pre-installed on new phones

    Jump

  • Thanks for the insights!

  • DHL: German postal service to suspend transport of business parcels to US

    Jump

  • Won't they have the same issues though? It's inherently difficult for large organisations (such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, ...) to change processes to comply with regulations at very short notice. With de minimis exceptions stopped, that should affect all parcels coming into the United States no matter which company carries it.

  • Russia orders state-backed Max messenger app to be pre-installed on new phones

    Jump

  • Can someone who actually has the misfortune of living or having lived in Russia recently explain how widespread the use of this messenger is? I was under the impression that Telegram, despite also being a deeply problematic service, was the most popular chat tool there, even if the regime has been trying to discourage it recently. Can anyone give a first hand account?

  • Trump administration reviewing all 55M people with US visas for potential deportable violations

    Jump

  • My parents, who are now in their seventies, got life long multiple entry visas for the US back in the 1980. They were traveling through the Pacific and had a few beers with some people they met and mentioned that they needed to stop over in American Samoa. As it turns out one of these guys was the American ambassador to this minor Pacific nation, who granted them life long multiple entry visas. They haven't been to the United States ever since but I guess these visas are now likely to be up for review...

  • Why are Dutch children the world’s happiest? A teenager weighs in

    Jump

  • As a Dutch person living abroad (even though only in neighbouring Germany) it's true that our directness is sometimes seen as impoliteness. Most Dutch people I know mean absolutely no offence and just say out loud what they are thinking. Somehow many other countries prefer to skirt around uncomfortable direct communication.

  • Canada ‘urgently seeking more information’ on death of Canadian in ICE custody

    Jump

  • I even understand much better why Germany fell prey to fascism at the time. Germans had gone through two million KIA, major territorial losses, a once in a century pandemic, hyperinflation, crippling economic war reparations and a once in a century economic depression in the span of less than twenty years and yet only a third of them voted for the fascist in the last free election. Keep in mind that democratic tradition was not firmly established in Germany by that point. Meanwhile US citizens have gone through a major economic crisis in 2008/9, a major pandemic and and increase in egg prices and suddenly more than half of voters there chose the fascist.

  • Canada ‘urgently seeking more information’ on death of Canadian in ICE custody

    Jump

  • So we're now at the stage where people risk being arrested without a charge by goons unwilling to properly identify themselves and then being killed because of that?

    The current situation in the United States is eerily similar to 1930s Germany in my opinion. We're probably just a few months away from political opponents being picked up on made up charges or even disappeared straight up.

  • FIFA drops anti-racism, anti-discrimination messages for Club World Cup

    Jump

  • As it turns out, it really didn't have to. Brazil simply respected agreements instead of unilaterally reneging on them at short notice. If the World Cup ever comes to Brazil again, I'd recommend pulling a Qatar and just nodding along until two weeks before the tournament starts and then just changing the rules according to what you believe is correct.

  • India orders inspection of Boeing 787s after Air India crash

    Jump

  • We'll have to wait for a full analysis first. However, Boeing is known for having lackluster quality control that has led to accidents in the past. If the company is indeed responsible for the crash, I fear that the current UD regime will likely do everything within its power to shield it from consequences.

  • Germany moves to suspend refugees' family reunification

    Jump

  • Yes, the family reunification for people with this status has been a controversial issue in Germany for years. While some people end up with a refugee status similar to other countries, many others are recognised as "with subsidiary protection status" or even plainly have their application rejected altogether. Critics have long since advocated for an end to family reunification for people without full refugee status. Some have even proposed cutting social payments to non refugees like several other EU countries do. For now it's only this somewhat limited measure, which is still controversial among the left. My personal prediction is that with far right political pressure increasing the current centre government in Germany will continue to develop its refugee and asylum policy more in the direction of Denmark and less in the direction of Merkel.

  • Tourists from countries badly hit by Trump tariffs are staying away from US

    Jump

  • Canada used to be the largest source of international visitors to the United States by a large margin. I suspect that Canadians especially will take, on average, quite a bit of convincing to travel south of the border now.

  • Poland seizes tires for Boeing aircraft headed for Russia | Reuters

    Jump

  • The sender of the goods was a company from Spain, and the recipient was from Azerbaijan.

    I'm sure these legitimate businessmen could perhaps consider transporting their wares via Turkey and Georgia? You know, along the well established transit route for commercial cargo between the EU and Azerbaijan.

  • Liberal Bucharest mayor leads Romanian election, exit polls say, as Poland and Portugal also vote

    Jump

  • Europe got lucky there. While I'm happy that Romanians chose wisely in the end, the margin is still very worrying for our future.
