Lemony Chicken With Couscous Is a Hearty, One Pot Meal
While I love to go all out when hosting dinner parties, I often opt to throw together a casual, one pot meal when close friends come over. This was the case a few weekends ago, when an old friend from high school and I caught up over a meal of chicken, Israeli couscous, and vegetables; the no-fuss dish seemed to set a relaxed tone for the rest of the evening.
Although the recipe was straightforward and basic, I couldn't have been more impressed by the result.

Sick? US Hospitals Deport Patients, Israelis Interrogate Them
Security and financial concerns are preventing some patients' ability to receive medical care both in the US and Palestine.
American hospitals are independently deporting seriously ill or injured undocumented immigrants because of the financial burden, according to an extensive report in the New York Times. Without any intervention of federal or state officials, hospitals privately employ ambulances, air ambulances, or commercial plans to send home immigrants that can't find US nursing homes that will accept them without insurance.

Israeli model Bar Refaeli looks adorable in this flapper-style peach and silver dress. I'm surprised to see her hair styled in waves, as opposed to smooth and straight like usual. I happen to like her with a bit of volume and oomph to her hair — how about you?
