Lynndie England's Out of Prison
Emma Brockes The Guardian, Saturday 3 January 2009 The road to Fort Ashby, West Virginia, runs through Mineral County, an area of freezing grey farmland and barrack-style bungalows, where the sign outside the bar - "Hunters welcome" - has an unnerving effect on the passing non-hunter. In Cindy's coffee shop, customers speculate on the whereabouts of a lost cow and tell a weird Republican joke about the noise a chicken makes when its head is cut off: "Barack-Obama!, Barack-Obama!" Lynndie England has lived in Fort Ashby since she was two, but when she appears, suddenly, in the car park, her outline is crooked with self-consciousness.In keeping with my eclectic taste (no pun intended): The other dark meat

Fesenjan (Persian Pomegranate Stew with Chicken and Walnuts)
This thick stew makes a really delicious meal when served over rice and with pitas, feta and mint leaves on the side.
Cooking Note: To achieve the slow fusing of flavors that characterizes khoresh, it is best to cook it in a heavy pot. I recommend a classic Dutch oven, but a solid hefty stew pot will do.
Dinner for a month
Redbook madras chickenYesterday, I spent 1 1/2 hours in a prep kitchen preparing my family meals. I prepared six servings of the following dishes and this will feed my family until the first week in October! Using the prep kitchen and freezing my meals makes it easier for me to work my crazy hours and still come home and cook (which I love to do).
