A new music video shows exclusive footage from Rubashkin’s Game Plan, the long awaited documentary film focusing both on the case of Sholom Rubashkin, and dual reaction of anger and solidarity from the Jewish community following the unprecedented harsh sentence handed down in the case.
When it comes to student cooking, I consider myself a serial bad-habit maker; a culinary Jack the Ripper. I’ve committed all the gastronomic sins: Buying microwave meals, not checking the sell-by date on milk and the classic ‘healthy epiphany.’ Over-zealously buying vegetables then forgetting about them later, leading to a severe biohazard situation developing in the fridge two weeks later… (or was it a month?)
