Western Oil Companies Back in Iraq With Unusual Contracts
Thirty-six years after Saddam Hussein nationalized oil and kicked out Western companies, Iraq's Oil Ministry has awarded Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total, and BP contracts set to bring the oil giants back.
Despite the fact that high oil prices put these contracts in high demand, Iraq granted very unusual no-bid contracts, meaning the companies did not have to compete with their counterparts in China, Russia, and India. Today's New York Times explains:
There was suspicion among many in the Arab world and among parts of the American public that the United States had gone to war in Iraq precisely to secure the oil wealth these contracts seek to extract.

Food Review: Rising Moon Organics — Vegan Stuffed Shells
I'm a big fan of Italian foods like baked ziti, lasagna, and stuffed shells. The only problem is the ricotta and other cheeses make them high in artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol. When I came across a healthier version of stuffed shells by Rising Moon Organics, my interest was piqued.

Roundup: Capiz Craze
It's no secret that capiz chandeliers and table lamps have become trendy in the last few years. But the mother-of-pearl shells (named for the province in the Philippines where they originate) have also found their way to everything from mirrors to tissue boxes, proving that the delicate, glittery material is also a versatile one. I love this capiz chandelier hanging in a room designed by Michelle Williams Interiors.
Jennifer Aniston Jets In To London
Jennifer Aniston was full of smiles as she arrived at Heathrow Airport today, looking gorgeous in a leather jacket, jeans and aviators. It's great to see Jen back in the UK, following her trip in March for the Marley & Me premiere. She'll no doubt catch up with old friends like Jamie Oliver while she's here, but it'll be pleasure rather than business if the two do meet, as rumours of the pair writing a cookbook together have already been shot down by her rep.
