It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a new recipe here. I didn’t mean for it to be that way, it’s just that a switch flipped and, magically, summer began. Suddenly, I was less interested in spending time in the kitchen and a whole lot more interested in digging up dirt and taking long walks.
Now, of course, I’ve still had to eat but it’s mostly been a lot of mishmash salads and really simple dinners. One of my recent favorite simple (and slightly extravagant) dinners was an evening spent on my patio, eating a giant T-bone and a big pot of garlicky Swiss chard and potatoes. And don’t get me wrong, though the steak was certainly nothing to sneeze at, I think I was actually more upset when I finished my last strand of chard.
So let me give you a little background on this side dish–I certainly didn’t invent it and, quite honestly, I think a few years ago I would have thought it was an odd combination. Around this time last year, I took a trip to Croatia and was first introduced to blitva, garlicky sautéed Swiss chard with potatoes. I saw it on darned near every menu, ordered it a few times, and worked it into my repertoire once I got home.
Making blitva doesn’t require much–just a few potatoes, a big bunch of Swiss chard, a few cloves of garlic, and plenty of olive oil. Peel, chunk, and boil the potatoes while you shred the chard and slice the garlic.
Put the sliced garlic and olive oil in a cold pot and place over medium heat, slowly extracting the garlic flavor before you add the boiled potatoes.
Add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes, letting them become golden around the edges and soak up that garlicky goodness. Now add the Swiss chard, season and toss, and let it wilt down for a couple of minutes.
Hit the jumble of greens and potatoes with freshly ground black pepper and it’s ready to serve. One of the beauties of side like this is that it’s delicious served piping hot, even better at room temperature, and amazingly good stone-cold from the refrigerator late at night, should any of it actually make it off the dinner table.
- 3 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 in. chunks
- about ⅓ c. Olive Oil
- about 5 plump cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 big bunch Swiss Chard, tough center stalk removed, greens cut into ½ in. wide strips
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Combine olive oil and garlic in a large pot and place over medium-high heat. After about 2 minutes, the garlic should be soft (but not yet browned) and the oil should be very fragrant. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring a couple of times, until the potatoes start to turn golden around the edges, 5-7 minutes.
- Add half of the Swiss chard, sprinkle with kosher salt, and toss with the potatoes. Add the remaining chard, season with salt, toss. Cook until the greens have wilted, 3-4 minutes. Taste. Season with additional salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Idris Brings Girlfriend On Red Carpet
Idris Elba has a new bae. According to reports, the 45-year-old actor is dating a 29-year-old woman named Sabrina Dhowre. Sabrina is an actress and model, who was crowned Miss Vancouver in 2014.
The pair seem to be making their relationship public. Over the weekend, Idris took Sabrina as his date to promote his new film “Molly’s Game” at the Toronto International Film Festival.
A source claims,
Last year Idris split from on-off girlfriend Naiyana Garth, the mother of his three-year-old son Winston. He has also been linked to singer K.Michelle.
It’s believed Idris and Sabrina have been dating for around seven months. They’re having a great time getting to know each other and Idris feels strongly enough about Sabrina for them to be talked about in public.Having her on his arm on a red carpet shows how serious he is about her as he doesn’t do these things lightly. He usually likes to keep that side of his life private but he’s proud to show Sabrina off on his arm. It’s been a different story for Sabrina, who has uploaded several pictures of Idris to her Snapchat account.

This weekend my mom came to town. Woohoo! It was the first time I got the chance to show someone around my new city. Hard to believe I’ve been in Pittsburgh for three months already…
We started our day with brunch at The Porch, which was lovely. I highly recommend the salted caramel French toast! Back in Madison, weekly brunch was a staple of a Saturday or Sunday morning, so it was good to kickstart my brunch-going in Pittsburgh with my mom.
Afterwards, we explored the Oakland neighborhood a bit, including wandering through Schenley Park and the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon campuses. Coming from the Midwest, it’s refreshing to see beautiful, old academic buildings. Actually, it’s refreshing to see old buildings in general! Thanks to The Fire, Chicago is pretty lacking in old structures. One of my greatest joys in Pittsburgh is admiring the old brick home and Gilded Age architecture.
Some other great sites in Oakland include:
–Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History
-The trails at Schenley Park
-The Cathedral of Learning at University of Pittsburgh (second-tallest educational building in the world)

My name is Ralph Messer and I am the webmaster and senior researcher for the Livingston County War Museum in Pontiac, Illinois. A couple of years ago we had a Japanese sword donated to the museum, but we cannot definitively identify the type or age of the sword. I have several pics of the tang markings but they are very hard to read.
The sword was donated along with a Type 99 "Last Ditch" rifle. We were told by the family that donated it that the sword and rifle were taken from the body of a dead Japanese soldier in the closing weeks of the war. Any help in identification and possible history of the sword would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Our website URL is <livingstoncountywarmuseum.com>

Tyrone senior ladies champions St Macartans will face off with Donamoyne in the Ulster club final once again in a repeat of last year’s decider with the Macs easing past Clann Eireann on Sunday at Fr Hackett Park. Paula Donnelly’s first half brace of goals set Macartan’s on course as they dominated for long periods of the contest.
Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year the Macartans have made no secret of their Ulster aspirations. However they will be well aware that they will go into the final as underdogs.
Five points without reply gave Macartans the perfect start with Chloe McCaffrey, Cathy Maguire and Jolene Donnelly among the scores before Donnelly’s first goal. Moving the ball at pace up the park opened the Armagh defence and McCaffrey sent Donnelly in for a low finish.
Aoibheann Henderson’s 25th minute point got Clann Eireann off the mark but Paula Donnelly’s second goal arrived two minutes later to stretch the Tyrone double champions’ lead. Sarah Henderson converted a free close to half-time but it was the home side who finished strong with Shauna McGirr firing over following a sharp move. Mac’s lead at the break 2-6 to 0-2.
Clann Eireann lost their first choice keeper Catherine Lawless early in the second half and it unnerved them as St Macartans continued to press. In spite of their dominance however all they could muster was a Jolene Donnelly point and this gave the Armagh champions hope. Clann Eireann enjoyed their most productive period of the game that saw Aoibhinn Henderson, Sarah Henderson and Megan McCann hitting morale boosting scores.
Any hopes though of a sustained comeback were snuffed out with Macartans third goal as Cathy Maguire hit the net. Sarah Henderson and Tara O’Hagan swapped closing scores but Ryan McMenamin’s side were not to be denied and they eased to a comfortable win and a place in the Ulster Final.
Final Score: St Macartans 3-8, Clann Eireann 0-6.
St Macartans: Paula Donnelly 2-0, Cathy Maguire 1-2, Chloe McCaffrey 0-2, Joline Donnelly 0-2, Shauna McGirr 0-1, Tara O’Hagan 0-1

You finished informal EEO counseling, filed your formal discrimination complaint, and received the Report of Investigation (ROI) from your federal agency. Now you want a chance to present your case to a jury in federal court. Here are the basics about how to file a federal discrimination lawsuit against your federal government employer:
How much time do I have to file a federal discrimination lawsuit?
Before you can file a lawsuit, you must exhaust your administrative remedies. This means that you must initiate informal EEO counseling, file a formal complaint, and give the agency a chance to investigate. At various points in the EEO process, you may have the option to file a lawsuit in federal court:
- After 180 days since the date you filed your formal complaint, if the agency hasn’t issued a final agency decision (FAD), and no appeal has been filed
- Within 90 days from the date you receive the FAD, if no appeal has been filed
- After 180 days since the date you filed your appeal, if the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Office of Federal Operations (OFO) hasn’t issued a decision
- Within 90 days from the date you receive the OFO’s decision on your appeal
Federal court lawsuit timeline
A lawsuit includes many steps and can be a very long process. Depending on the court you file in and other factors, a federal discrimination lawsuit can take anywhere from one to three of four years.
How to file a discrimination lawsuit in federal court
The first step is to file your complaint. Your complaint must be in writing. Each court may have different rules and requirements. However, the complaint must usually include the following information:
- Your name and contact information
- The agency’s name and contact information
- Confirmation that you exhausted your administrative remedies
- A list of factual allegations that explain how the agency discriminated against you
- A description of your claims of discrimination and/or retaliation
- The law(s) that you believe the agency violated
- The damages you want the court to award
You must also submit the court’s cover sheet, summonses, and payment for the court’s filing fee when you file your complaint. After you file, you must timely serve the complaint on the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney for the state where you filed your complaint, and the head of the federal agency. If you have any attorney, he or she will take care of all of this for you.
The agency may either file an answer or a motion to dismiss your case. A motion to dismiss is a request for the court to dismiss your case for various reasons, such as failure to state a claim. Failure to state a claim means that your complaint doesn’t properly allege that the agency unlawfully discriminated against you. If the agency files a motion to dismiss, you usually have 14 days to file an opposition. Then the agency has about seven days to file a reply. The judge may issue a decision within a few weeks, or you may wait for several months, depending on many factors, including the judge’s case load and the number and complexity of issues in the case.
What is discovery in a federal discrimination lawsuit?
After the agency files an answer or the judge denies the agency’s motion to dismiss, discovery will begin. Discovery is a process where you and the agency will exchange information and documents. Each party may send the other a list of questions to answer and ask for certain documents relating to the case. You can also take depositions, which are interviews, under oath, before a court reporter. Similarly, the agency’s attorney will likely want to take your deposition. Discovery is a lengthy process and will take several months or even a year.
What is summary judgment?
If you want a jury trial, you must ask for it when you file your lawsuit. However, just like the EEOC hearing process, the judge will decide whether you get a jury trial. After discovery ends, the agency will file a motion for summary judgment. This is a request for the judge to decide in favor of the agency without conducting a trial. The motion is a lengthy, written legal argument that refers to evidence the parties exchanged during and before discovery. If this happens, you usually have 14 days to file an opposition. Afterwards, the judge will issue a decision (typically several weeks or months) with two possible outcomes:
- The judge grants the agency’s motion: If the judge grants the motion, the agency wins the case, and there won’t be a jury trial. In short, the judge will grant the motion if he/she concludes that, based on the evidence, there’s really no way you can win the case.
- The judge denies the motion: If the judge denies the motion, he/she will schedule a jury trial. This doesn’t mean you win; it just means the case will continue.
What happens at the pretrial conference?
The judge will hold a pretrial conference with you (and your attorney, if you have one) and the agency’s attorneys to discuss logistics and to decide which witnesses and evidence you can present at the trial. In preparation for the pretrial conference, the judge usually requires the parties to submit a pretrial statement that includes:
- A summary of the facts
- A list of your claims
- The types and amounts of your damages
- A list of witnesses each party wants to call at the trial
- A list of exhibits that each party wants to use at the trial
- Other information requested by the court
What happens at a jury trial?
The jury trial will be held in a courtroom before the judge and a jury. Hearings are usually open to the public. The parties and the judge will work together to select the jurors. Once jurors are selected, each party may make an opening statement about its view of the case. If you have one, your attorney will make your opening statement. Then, you may call each witness and ask him or her questions. The agency may cross-examine your witnesses. After you question all of your witnesses, the agency will call its witnesses, whom you may cross-examine. After all witnesses have testified, each party may make a closing statement. The jury may make its decision in as little as an hour, or it may take several days. Once the jury finishes deliberating, it will return to the courtroom and deliver the verdict.
Can you appeal the court’s decision?
If you disagree with the court’s decision, you can file an appeal with the appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals. There are strict deadlines for filing your appeal. You will file a written brief; the agency may file its brief in response; and you may file a reply brief. The court may also schedule an oral argument.
Can you file a discrimination lawsuit without an attorney?
You are not required to have an attorney to file a federal discrimination lawsuit. However, an experienced employment attorney can take the guesswork out of how to file a federal discrimination lawsuit. The court has many rules and procedures, and the judge can dismiss your case if you fail to comply. An experienced employment lawyer will be familiar with these rules and procedures and help you navigate the litigation process. Your attorney will prepare and submit filings with the court, conduct discovery in your case, advise you about legal strategy and settlement, and represent you at trial.
If you need experienced legal representation for a federal discrimination lawsuit, Alan Lescht and Associates, P.C., can help. Our attorneys know what information you need to collect in discovery, how to respond to motions filed by the agency, and how to present evidence and witnesses to the court. We represent federal employees throughout the EEO process, at hearings before EEOC administrative judges, in appeals before the Office of Federal Operations, and in federal lawsuits of discrimination and retaliation cases.
