What now should be clear to us all!

Dear editor,

I came across with you rather unique and fascinating magazine for the first time by a sheer coincides. I would like to extend my appreciation to the professional work accomplished by the team of writers on your magazine. Having said so, I would like to comment on your cover page story (What now?, April 2012). While you are undoubtedly right on highlighting the true side of the government in Eritrea, you recklessly mentioned containing the evils that President Esaias Afeworki is unleashing upon the entire region “doesn’t necessarily make Ethiopia the Good Samaritan trying to rescue Eritrea from the tyranny of Isaisas Afeworki.”

Cobb salad wrap recipe

BY Emma Haberman (Courtesy Chef Marcus Samuelson)

A day comes along every now and then when you look in your fridge and ask yourself “what am I supposed to do with this?” On these days, dinner can feel like a chore, but it’s a great excuse to raid your fridge and test your kitchen skills.

Keeping good staples in your fridge will make these days less painful. There are a few ingredients that are always in my pantry, fridge or freezer: tomatoes, eggs, mustard, chicken broth, and bacon. Adding one of these ingredients to a dish of leftovers almost always boosts the dish. Putting them together gives you almost all the fixings for a Cobb salad, my favorite hearty salad. Chopped into tiny pieces and tucked into a soft flour wrap, these leftovers make a fresh and tasty lunch.

Moringa: not just a tree

Faben Getachew

Moringa tree, (also known at least by a dozen more other names such as horseradish tree, benzolive tree, and drumstick tree) is native to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. It’s no ordinary tree but one that is believed to have a great potential in food security, sustainable land care and improved nutritional status. Nutritionists say it is one of the most fast growing, powerful health-enhancing plants, natural energy booster and a powerhouse of nutrients.
