Ontario high school teachers cancel extracurricular activities for ...

Q: What is at the root of this dispute? A: The fight centres on Bill 115, a piece of legislation that allows the province to impose on teachers new contracts that include a two-year wage freeze and a reduction in bankable sick days. It also gives the government power to intervene to prevent or end a strike. While unions representing French and Catholic teachers accepted that deal, the OSSTF and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario remain at an impasse with the province. Unlike their secondary school counterparts, however, elementary teachers are not in a legal strike position and consequently cannot take formal job action. Instead, they have protested in other ways, such as retreating from extracurricular activities. “Nobody wants any of this,” OSSTF president Ken Coran said...

Chicken Stew

Recipes for southern chicken stew vary slightly from person to person, but it is usually made by first cooking a whole chicken by boiling or parboiling, allowing a rich broth to form. The chicken is then removed from the pot and the meat is pulled from the bones or cut off with a knife. The skin, bones and fat are removed as well. Sometimes boneless, skinless chicken breasts are used instead of a whole chicken. A thickening of flour and milk or cream is made and added to the broth. The chicken is then added back into the liquid along with salt, pepper and butter or margarine.

Buttermilk Chicken Tenders

Buttermilk Chicken RecipeRecently at dinner my father instructed me, "tell your website readers that your dad says this is a good one." Done, dad. This chicken was good - perfectly tender, well flavored, crunchy - just what one wants in fried chicken.Searching around for a buttermilk fried chicken recipe, I adapted this recipe from various sources. Many recipes I found seemed to be rather dated as they called for frying the chicken in vegetable shortening. Most shortenings on the market have transfats in them, which we now know are very bad for us. We do our frying, of anything, in grape seed oil, which as the name implies, comes from the seeds of grapes. It is a high smoke-point oil, which means that you can get it pretty hot before it begins to burn, making it perfect for deep frying....
