U.S. Bars Bob Vylan After Controversial Glastonbury Performance Sparks Outrage

The U.S. State Department has revoked the visas of British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan following a controversial performance at the Glastonbury Festival that included chants widely condemned as antisemitic. During their set on the West Holts Stage, frontman Bobby Vylan led the crowd in chants such as “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” referencing the Israel Defense Forces. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau announced the decision, stating that “foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country”. The duo had been scheduled to tour the U.S. later this year. The BBC, which broadcast the performance live, later issued a statement expressing regret for not cutting the stream, calling the remarks “deeply offensive” and “utterly unacceptable”. British police have also launched an investigation into the incident. Bobby Vylan responded defiantly on social media, writing, “I said what I said,” and emphasized the importance of speaking...

Spinach Egg Bites


INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups (4% milkfat) cottage cheese
  • 1¼ cups shredded Gruyère (or a blend of Gruyère and Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Scant ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 oz baby spinach leaves, or ⅔ cup (packed), finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, dark green parts only, finely chopped


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1.  Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 300°F and set one oven rack in the middle position and another in the lowest position.
  2. 2.  Place a 9x13-inch metal or ceramic baking dish on the lower rack and fill it halfway with the boiling water from the kettle. This will create steam in the oven, which will help the egg bites to cook gently and attain a custardy texture.
  3. 3.  Spray a nonstick muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. 4.  In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyère, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  5. 5.  Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each well about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the spinach and scallions evenly over the batter. Use a spoon to press the greens into the batter so they are not all floating on top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes on the middle rack, until the eggs are set. You'll know they are done when the egg bites start to pull away slightly from the edges. Some of the egg bites may also puff up and look a bit lopsided, but they will settle and deflate as they cool.
  6. 6. Remove the egg bites from the oven and let rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Use a small spoon to loosen the egg bites from the edges of the pan and carefully lift them out onto a plate. Serve warm.
