Gazans struggle to cope with cold winter http://www.youtube.com Cooking and heating gas distribution stations in the blockaded Gaza Strip were forced to minimize their operation due to a shortage in propane gas. In past months, Israel has been allowing less than a hundred tons of gas in per day, while Gaza needs at least two hundred and fifty tons every day. The delay of delivery from Israel has led to the scarcity of cooking gas according to the Petroleum Importers Association.

John Currence is a James Beard Award-winning chef, and City Grocery, his Oxford flagship restaurant, is well-known among his colleagues across the country as a bastion of Southern cooking.Currence has closed it for about six weeks, in part because of them. He's doing a massive kitchen renovation.
"This is long overdue. Since I started doing a guest chef series about two years ago, I've felt this acute embarrassment when people come to cook," he said. "Right now, we're down to dirt floors and brick walls."
This is not to say he's taking a vacation, though. Besides operating three other restaurants in Oxford Bour, Big Bad Breakfast and Snackbar as well as writing, preparing for the upcoming birth of his first child and running his catering company, Currence decided to use the City Grocery down time to host more guest chefs. This time, there's a twist:
Street food.
Working from the catering kitchen, which seats about 50, Currence will host Eli Kirshtein of Atlanta Wednesday through Saturday; Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman of Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen and Hog & Hominy in Memphis
Jan. 23-26; and Kelly English of Restaurant Iris in Memphis Jan. 30 through Feb. 2. The staff of City Grocery will do the cooking Jan. 16-19. The series is called Big Bad Pop-ups, named after the phenomenon of temporary restaurants called pop-ups."The entire month is a study of different street foods," Currence said.
Think food truck food, but on a plate, served on a table.
"The tables will actually be in the kitchen," Currence said. "We'll take it from the line, turn around and hand it right to the table.
"We wanted to do something affordable and something different. Jesse (Houston, chef de cuisine) and I talked about it and he had these great, grandiose ideas. We whittled it down."
Kirshtein, who has the kitchen this week, is a "Top Chef" celebrity from Atlanta. He'll feature Israeli street food.

Former Nebraska Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who earned two Purple Hearts as a young enlisted soldier in Vietnam in 1968, shows no sign that hes cowed by the political battle over his confirmation as defense secretary.
To the contrary, with Hagels nomination, President Barack Obama is seizing an opportunity to cement a shift in national security strategy away from military interventionism as the administration faces a tepid economy, a second-term effort to reduce defense spending and a public weary after more than a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While the political attacks on Hagel have largely targeted his views on Iran and Israel, the clashes over his suitability to run the Pentagon open a much weightier debate about Americas military commitments and what he has called a bloated defense budget.
Since the end of the Cold War, Washington has seen a consensus around neo-conservatives on the political right and liberal interventionists on the left, and that all kind of leads to wanting more -- more action in the world, more involvement, more commitments, said Sean Kay, a professor of politics and government at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Its the kind of thing that gets you into Iraq on one hand and a surge into Afghanistan on the other.
What Chuck Hagel represents is sort of a return to what was the previous general consensus on foreign policy, which was mainly reflective of a commitment to being a strong, capable nation, but one that acted with restraint, Kay said in a telephone interview.
In choosing the 66-year-old Republican, Obama has highlighted the rift between that partys so-called realists, such as President George H.W. Bushs National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft and Ronald Reagans Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, and Hagels interventionist-oriented critics, such as Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol.
In his stated positions, Senator Hagel, in my opinion, represents a departure from some long-held positions in the United States, across the parties, said Steven Bucci, a former military assistant and chief of staff to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, one of the primary advocates of invading Iraq in 2003.
Hagels questionable support of Israel, his opposition to some sanctions on Iran and outreach to groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, Bucci said, are all departures from what has been conventional wisdom in U.S. foreign policy and security policy.
He is very much in favor of further defense cuts, said Bucci, now director of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation in Washington. He thinks we dont have the money for these defense programs, which I can understand, but then he says we dont need them, which I think is a little delusional. The world is more dangerous than it was in 2001 and not less so.
