Trial of shoe-throwing Iraqi journalist adjourned
The trial of an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former US President George W. Bush during a Baghdad news conference last year has been adjourned, shortly after it opened. One of the three presiding judges at the Iraqi capital's Central Criminal Court said the trial would resume on March 12. If found guilty of the charge of assaulting a foreign head of state, Muntazer al-Zaidi could face up to 15 years in prison. Zaidi has been in custody for more than two months and his family says he has been beaten by security guards.

Nestle recalled 350,000 packages of the stuffed chicken pockets, dubbed Lean Pockets, because the frozen food may contain pieces of plastic. The company received several complaints and reports of two mild injuries and decided to pull off 199,417 pounds of frozen stuffed chicken sandwiches made on May 23 at a Kentucky plant.

The voluntary recall involves products which have a “Best Before” date of Nov. 2009 and a package code beginning with “8144544616.” Also, printed on the side of the package is the establishment number “P7721A.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall Monday, the same day the company announced the regulator of customer complaints.

Only the 9-ounce boxes of "Lean Pockets Spinach Artichoke Chicken -- 2 sandwiches" which have all the above-mentioned markings are recalled, and no other Lean Pockets sandwiches are being recalled. Nestle said that any concerned customers can call its consumer services at 1-800-350-5016.


Nestlé was founded in 1860 by Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist who developed for the first time instant infant milk formulas, saving the life of a child who could not tolerate his own mother's milk nor any of the usual substitutes. The company had last year total assets of around $130 billion.

Chicken pocket sandwiches




These pocket sandwiches can be made with either turkey or chicken, but I could only find roast chicken today. They also have thinly-sliced red onion, baby spinach, and thinly-sliced apple. The dressing is of:

1/3 cup fat-free sour cream (I used light)
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. dijon mustard

Delicious!
