The remaining terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip had gathered in Jabalya, prompting the military to encircle the area. The IDF's military operation in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip came as a surprise to the terrorists in the area, the military said on Monday. “The surprise for Hamas was complete. We trapped hundreds of terrorists inside the camp, including senior operatives," the IDF said, adding that the terror group had used the population as human shields for over a week and had shot at the legs of residents who attempted to escape. According to the IDF, the remaining terrorists...

Over the last few decades, the planet has been at the mercy of a ten-legged, many-clawed crustacean ravenously creating a clone army bent on world domination. No, it isn’t an interplanetary interloper or the result of an uncontained government experiment. This is biology gone wrong, or if you happen to be a marbled crayfish, biology gone horribly right. What’s unusual is that instead of the expected two copies of their chromosomes, marbled crayfish have three. Their genetic composition is similar to the Slough crayfish, a close relative, leading scientists to conclude that the first marbled crayfish was born through an...

Let's get to the most important matter: what are they eating? The main course, we're happy to report, will include jambalaya, "which will be cooked in a New...

Last week I was going through a big sheaf of recipes that I’d clipped or printed-out over the years but never tried. I found an America’s Test Kitchen recipe for Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya, and decided to try it. I’d never had Jambalaya, and I suspect that this is a mild, basic version – it turned out very well, though we thought it should have been ‘hotter’. This was probably because our supermarket Andouille was probably not as hot as the more authentic, ‘artisanal’ ones are. We altered the original recipe slightly, using two peppers, one red and one green;...

"Jambalaya" is one of the world's greatest songs. What could possibly make it better? Bagpipes! I record my songs under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. Slings and Arrows was already registered with ASCAP. That's not a joke.

Here's a recipe for jambalaya that's sure to please your family and bring out the Coonie in you! This one has been handed down for a few generations and comes straight from Granny's kitchen in Louisiana and the gulf coast of Mississippi. It don't get no better than this!
