Miami's Freedom Tower reopens as Trump ramps up arrests in city of Cuban migrant pride

Washington Post16 hours ago
MIAMI — For decades, its powerful lighthouse illuminated Miami's Biscayne Bay, and during the height of the Cold War, what was known as the Freedom Tower stood as a beacon of hope for hundreds of thousands of Cubans fleeing communist rule.
The 14-story Spanish Revival skyscraper was where, from 1962 to 1974, the U.S. State Department welcomed Cuban refugees with medical services, English classes, and comfort kits containing essentials and something wholly exotic to the new arrivals: peanut butter.

Chef Janet Loughran on Talk Pittsburgh

Chef Janet Loughran is back in the kitchen with dinner! She's making lamb shanks and couscous salad, which you can prepare for dinner yourself tonight! Lamb Shanks (Osso Bucco Style) Preheat the oven to 400°. Pat, the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. Season the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy bottom ovenproof pan such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and one hot the lamb shanks sear on all sides for a couple of minutes until they are golden and brown. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sauté the garlic and vegetables over medium high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the red wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the brown bits. Add the stock, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary, and the shanks back to the pan. Cover and cook in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until it's falling off the bone. Strain the liquids from the solids and use the liquids as a nice gravy. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Israeli Couscous SaladServes 4-6 For the salad: For the dressing: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook until tender but not mushy (about 8–10 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain thoroughly. Whisk together lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify. In a large mixing bowl (or two if needed), combine the cooled couscous, chopped vegetables, and herbs. Pour dressing over and toss well to coat everything evenly. Let the salad sit, covered, in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours). Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
