Zucchini Onion Chips | snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Zucchini Onion Chips! We all know how versatile a meal can be once you add zucchini to the menu. But have you ever thought about an appetizer using a can of those classic crispy fried onions? It’s definitely a game-changer. Hear me out. Forget the holiday green bean casserole for a minute as you dip a fork into the can to nibble on these crunchies before tossing them onto a garden salad. Who can resist a sampling of that unique onion flavor? Not me. Now send everyone out of the house so you can work your magic. When they return, their mouths will begin to drool at the aromas from the kitchen. I’m guessing no one will suspect you disguised heart-healthy zucchini wrapped up in a delicious onion crust.

Bellingcat partnered with magazines De Groene Amsterdammer, Knack and Le Vif to investigate Active Clubs and related far-right movements in the Netherlands and Belgium, and worked with volunteers from the Netherlands-based Capitol Terrorist Exposers collective. Read additional stores from this collaboration at De Groene AmsterdammerKnack and Le Vif.

A Dutch affiliate of the white supremacist Active Club movement has in recent months organised alongside the white nationalist behind a plot to expel millions of immigrants discussed by far right German politicians and trained in combat at a pan-European gathering of neo-Nazis in Hungary, an investigation by Bellingcat and Belgian and Dutch media partners can reveal. A member of the far right group was also, until earlier this month, working as an intern for the government of the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant.

Dakota band is building homes, jobs from hemp – Darcy Hitchcock

The Mdewakanton Band of Dakota, also known as the Lower Dakota, was pushed off fertile woodlands in the 19th Century. They are one of the smaller recognized tribal nations, with a population of a little over eleven hundred, half of whom need homes. So they are building a hempcrete operation, growing hemp, processing it into building materials and then building the sorely needed homes for their people.
