In the wake of deadly attacks aimed at United Nations workers, in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, the organizations has begun relocating hundreds of foreign staff members into better security situations. After operating in Afghanistan for 50 years with very little violence against its workers, the UN has been forced to review its security strategy for so many vulnerable aid workers. If the UN can’t operate safely in Afghanistan is there any hope of long-term stability?

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
