This logic of moving Palestine to another Muslim country is no different to relocating Israel to the US. Pretty sure if I suggested that it would be considered anti semitic.

Lila al-Khatib, a two-year-old baby from the West Bank, was killed yesterday by an IDF sniper who shot her in the head. Her mother, who is pregnant, was also shot and injured. Not in Gaza, but in the West Bank.

Someone tell me, how the hell can something like this bring someone security?

Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies ✨🍫 ### Ingredients: - 1/2 cup unsalted butter - 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/4 cup cocoa powder - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - Additional chocolate chips for that luscious filling ### Directions: 1. Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (177°C). The aroma of baking cookies is just around the corner! 2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter along with the semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat. Stir gently until it's all smooth and silky, then let it cool down a bit. 3. While that melts, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until everything is well blended. 4. Now, it’s time to combine the chocolate mixture with the sugar and egg mixture. Stir it all together until it’s beautifully mixed. 5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula to fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate bliss until everything is just combined. 6. To make handling the dough easier, chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes. A little patience goes a long way! 7. Once chilled, scoop out some dough and roll it into balls. Don’t forget to tuck a few extra chocolate chips inside each ball for that molten center! Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 8. Bake these beauties for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the tops look glossy and cracked—this is when the magic happens! 9. When they’re ready, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can resist the temptation!). Now, just imagine biting into one of these delightful cookies! 😍✨ Perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself! 🍌 Cream Cheese Banana Bread Delight 🍞 ✨ What You’ll Need: - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened to perfection) - 1 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 3 ripe bananas (mashed to creamy goodness) - 1/4 cup sour cream - 4 ounces cream cheese (softened and ready to blend) ✨ Let’s Bake: 1. Start by preheating that oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing up a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Your future self will thank you! 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This will be the magical dry mix that makes everything rise beautifully. 3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! 4. Add the eggs in, one at a time, making sure to blend them well before adding the next. Stir in that delightful vanilla extract for an extra kick of flavor. 5. Now, mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until everything is well combined. The aroma is already heavenly! 6. In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese until it’s smooth and dreamy. This will be the surprise layer in your banana bread! 7. Pour half of the banana batter into your prepared loaf pan, then gently spread the creamy cream cheese over it. Top it off with the remaining banana batter, creating a delicious layer of goodness. 8. Bake your creation for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The waiting is the hardest part, but trust us, it will be worth it! 9. Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key! 🍋🌰 Pistachio Lemon Breakfast Bread 🌰🍋 **Ingredients:** - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 3 large eggs - 1/2 cup vegetable oil - 1/2 cup plain yogurt - 1/4 cup milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Zest of 1 lemon - Green food coloring (optional) **Directions:** 1. Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your loaf pan a loving coat of grease and flour so your bread slides right out after baking. 2. In a spacious bowl, whisk together the flour, finely chopped pistachios, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The aroma will start to hint at the deliciousness to come! 3. In a separate bowl, beat those eggs until they’re fluffy, then add in the vegetable oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and the vibrant zest of one lemon. Mix it all together until it’s well combined and sings with flavor. 4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; we want to keep it light and airy! 5. Now, pour that luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and get ready to bake! 6. Pop it in the oven and let it bake for 50-60 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell heavenly! 7. Once baked, let your loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key here! 8. For a sweet finishing touch, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle this heavenly glaze over your cooled loaf and sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios for that delightful crunch. Enjoy a slice of this Pistachio Lemon Breakfast Bread with your morning coffee or tea—it’s pure bliss! 🌼✨ "🌟 **Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta** 🌟 Indulge in a comforting dish that combines mouthwatering garlic butter chicken bites with rich, creamy Parmesan pasta.

Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, letting it melt and create a luscious, creamy sauce. Season this heavenly concoction with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to develop and blend flawlessly. 4. **Pasta Paradise**: Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the creamy chicken sauce, ensuring each piece of pasta is coated in that rich flavor. 5. **A Touch of Green**: To finish off this delightful dish, serve it garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Poor Monty is 14. He found a ball on his morning walk today. He used to chase a ball for hours, but he has arthritic elbows and can’t run now. He used to toss it to me to throw, but he’s just content to have it now.

When Labour had such a clear lead in the run up to the last election, why didn’t they have the confidence to reverse the NI reduction? The business NI increase will hit growth which was one of their 5 missions.
