▢1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes; see Note 2)

▢Kosher salt or sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

▢8 oil-packed sundried tomatoes (~45g), chopped

▢3 big handfuls (70g) baby spinach, roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS



Make the Spiced Chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas to a clean dish towel. Gently rub to dry them of as much as you can without smushing them.

 Heat a large sauté pan or frying pan over medium -high heat with the 1 tablespoon oil. Once hot, add the chickpeas and spread out in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow some browning. Toss and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until chickpeas are golden brown and blistered in spots. Note: If using a nonstick pan, the chickpeas may take longer to get browned.

 Add the 1 teaspoon kosher salt, oregano, paprika, thyme, and onion powder to the chickpeas, and toss well to coat the chickpeas. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to coat the chickpeas and to prevent spices from burning. Remove from the heat and set aside.

 Make the basil gremolata. In a small bowl, combine the chopped basil, the lemon zest, minced garlic, and a few pinches of flaky salt. Set aside for the last step. Juice the lemon to get 2 tablespoons; set aside for the last step.

 Cook the orzo. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the orzo and cook according to the box instructions until just al dente (don’t cook until soft; it will continue cooking in the sauce). Drain the orzo in a colander fitted over a bowl, reserving 1 cup (240 mL) or 2 big ladles if the cooking water.

 Return the pan used for the chickpeas to the

(Continued on page 9)

stove but don't turn on the heat yet. Add the 1/4 cup (56g) olive oil, sliced garlic, and pine nuts. Turn the heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally and use a spatula to separate the garlic slices as needed. Once they start to sizzle, stir frequently to encourage even cooking and prevent the garlic from browning. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until most of the garlic and pine nuts turn golden. Add the chopped preserved lemon peel and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

 Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) pasta water to the pan and whisk to combine. Add in the hot orzo and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, tossing to combine (with tongs or a sturdy silicone spatula). Add more pasta water as needed to bring the sauce together and/or if the orzo sticks a lot.

 Add in the spinach and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and toss gently until wilted. Add in the spiced chickpeas and toss to warm. Take off the heat. Add the basil gremolata and toss gently. Taste for seasonings, adding lemon juice or salt as needed.

NOTES

If you don’t have preserved lemons, use 1 tablespoon lemon zest instead (the zest in 1 med or large lemon).

Aleppo pepper is considerably less spicy than crushed red pepper flakes. If using red pepper flakes, start with just 1/4 tsp, then add more to taste.

Update to June 29 fatal motor vehicle incident

Prince George, Information Wanted

2024-07-03 08:08 PDT

File # 2024-21043

Prince George RCMP is looking for anyone with video camera footage that may have captured the fatal motor vehicle incident that occurred on June 29, 2024.

Police officers continue to investigate the cause of the collision that took the life of the motorcycle driver that afternoon. We are appealing to the public, asking for any dash camera or cell phone video footage that may have caught the incident itself or the driving behaviour of the vehicles involved, states. Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Background:

At 3:00 p.m. on June 29, 2024, Prince George RCMP was called to the scene of a motor vehicle incident that involved a small SUV and a motorcycle on the 2100-block of Massey Drive. The motorcycle driver was taken to hospital by emergency health services, but did not survive his injuries. Massey Drive was closed for several hours in both directions as investigators and the collision analyst worked to gather information from the scene.

TAURUS

(Apr. 21-May 20)

A lot of thought could be put into what needs to be important in practical terms. You could have finally reached a point where you are more prepared mentally to make decisions that leave you better off financially. They may not be your first choice but you realise it is necessary. Something has to be let go, once and for all.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

Venus, the planet of balance and harmony moves into your sign this week where it will remain until 5th August. There can be a significant situation take place with another person right now that has definite endings and beginnings attached. Give yourself time to think things out as there can be new situations taking place behind

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

Ideas can flow thick and fast but you need to be careful that you don’t jump into something with great optimism only to find it will not be so easy to change further down the track if you so desire. You may not be able to maintain a certain level of freedom financially because of other obligations in place that need to take precedence.

VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

You could start to take a different view that what you might enjoy accomplishing in the long term is not necessarily the type of freedom or sense of independence that other people seek. Much of your pleasure comes from commitment. You could sense the importance of working towards getting good foundations in place up to early August.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

Greater balance can enter into a situation involving another or others from now to early August. This can be dependent upon you standing your ground right now. You could feel you have reached a point of succeeding in relation to what you have been working through since 2019 when it comes to compromise at an underlying level.

It is only through giving yourself plenty of time to consider any increased commitments coming your way that you can develop a situation you will be settled about. This requires you to have support or agreement from others, which you can get but only by asking. It might mean letting go of a regular routine that has been in place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

You and somebody else could be in sync when it comes to future possibilities that can be developed. You could broaden their view on what could be accomplished. Some sort of final decision would need to be made so that restructuring of some description can begin to take shape. There could be an element of secrecy involved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Something could take a new direction where you feel you are given recognition for any efforts that have meant a lot of discipline or hard work for you. This will only be a stage as there is no complete escape from personal commitment for a while yet. From now to early August focus on generating steadiness in what needs to be handled on a daily basis.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

The New Moon has just occurred in your sign, providing you with the opportunity to look at new ways you want to handle things. Future security comes up as important and something that you should not have problems maintaining. Withdrawing from unnecessary spending to your birthday next year will put you in a very comfortable position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

You could be prepared to take on new responsibilities as long as you are given recognition or that you will feel appreciated for your efforts. You will be in no doubt that you can organise things and can enjoy doing so. It will only be worth it if you can implement your own ideas for future development. This can result in a sense of contentment.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan.19)

New people can come into your life or current relationships could have a change of direction, for the better. If there has been a degree of secretiveness that has made you uneasy of late, you could now start to see things from a different perspective through having analysed more. It might also be that you realise you just have to let some things slide.

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

Social activity can be enjoyable with interestingconversations. Youmight learn something new as well. There could be someone who presses their own needs or expectations but you should be able to find ways around that. Bringing an end to something you feel is now costing too much may not be as difficult as you thought.

Canning 101: A Beginner's Guide (Back

to Basics)

The History of Canning

People have been preserving food since our very first days. Early techniques included drying, smoking, fermenting, and packing in fat (a method we know these days as confit). Later came vinegar pickles, jams (often sealed with wax or more fat), and suspension in alcohol. Still, none of these approaches led to reliably preserved foods. There was always some risk of spoilage.

425 Brunswick Street

Mondays—Fitness 10am, Line dancing 11am, Bridge 12:30pm and Floor Curling 1pm.

In the late 1700s, Napoleon Bonaparte was looking for a way to dependably preserve food for his troops and so offered a cash prize to anyone who could produce a better method. After much experimentation, a French cook named Nicolas Appert discovered the packing, heating, and sealing technique that's essentially what we use today.

Home canning has been popular in the US since the late 1850s, when John L. Mason invented the first reusable jar with a screw-on lid. Canning technology gradually improved, and in 1915 Alexander H. Kerr developed the two-part canning lid that we still use today.
