Mac and cheese just may be the ultimate comfort food. So many have comforting nostalgic memories associated with that cheesy indulgence, and we all have our favorite family recipes.

Micheal Donoghue knows exactly what Galway hurling has been craving for the past seven years
GALWAY chief Micheál Donoghue can feel his county's seven-year itch for glory. Their last piece of Championship silverware arrived in 2018 when they won the Leinster SHC during Donoghue's first stint as boss. 2 Galway manager Micheál Donoghue says he knows exactly what his side need for All-Ireland success 2 Galway face Kilkenny on Sunday in the Leinster SHC this weekend Limerick derailed their quest for successive Wexford lifted the Bob O'Keeffe Cup in 2019 after And the province has been dominated by The Cats are chasing their sixth title in a row in Sunday's final after sending Galway packing in the 2020, 2022 and 2023 deciders. READ MORE ON GAA But home is where the heart is for Donoghue after a stint in charge of Dublin. And claiming glory with Galway is all he wants. Donoghue said: 'Seven years is not huge but it might be in Galway . . . 'If you go through the group, a lot haven't got a Leinster medal. Most read in GAA Hurling 'It's a big opportunity. The lads are motivated to try and get one. 'Kilkenny have been the kingpins in Leinster over the last few years and that's not lost on us. We know that we have to turn up and be the best version of ourselves to compete.' 'Like something out of the French Revolution' - RTE GAA pundit Donal Og Cusack slams Dublin star's reckless swipe A lot has changed since Donoghue first stepped into the senior hotseat almost a decade ago. Galway were on the cusp of an All-Ireland and lost the 2015 final to Kilkenny before a player heave saw Anthony Cunningham depart as boss. The squad was ready-made for glory and got over the line in 2017 with Joe Canning, Aidan Harte, Gearóid McInerney, Johnny Coen, Daithí Burke and David Burke in their prime. Daithí and David Burke are still soldiering on, while Harte has linked up with Donoghue's backroom team as a coach. Newer faces such as Gavin Lee, TJ Brennan and Anthony Burns have now stepped up to the plate. And their manager can feel things weaving together nicely. He said: 'For us, it was about seeing how we could change things and freshen it up. You're trying to look at the now but you're trying to look at the future as well. 'In fairness to the lads, they've taken it all on board, taken it in their stride and are pushing on. 'There's a lot of frustration sometimes for players when they're not in the 26. 'But there's a really good spirit and group there at the minute where everyone is pushing each other and making sure we have the best lads on the pitch. 'The young lads are taking their chances. It shows there's a lot of quality still around. 'It's just to keep nurturing it and getting them more used to the environment and up to the pace. From our perspective, it's really positive.' But the tried-and-trusted are still vital for the Tribesmen. TOP TRIBES Daithí Burke, 32, David Burke, 35, and Pádraic Mannion, 32, show no signs of stopping. Conor Whelan, 28, is also thriving as captain. The Cats mauled the men in maroon 3-24 to 0-21 in the first round of the Leinster SHC. But Donoghue hailed his stalwarts for driving them into Sunday's final with four wins on the bounce over Offaly, Wexford, Antrim and Dublin. He said: 'Their experience shines through every night. Our management style is to make sure we're facilitators. 'We're trying to get to a stage where the boys are taking ownership and leading it. 'From our perspective, that's what they're doing over the last few weeks. 'They're driving it and setting the tone. They're setting a great example. 'For the young lads, what better role models can you have in terms of knowing what it takes to be an inter-county hurler? 'They make sure you're on it every night you come in.'

U.S.-backed alternate aid distribution network begins Gaza operations
May 27 (UPI) -- A new U.S.-Israeli mechanism for delivering humanitarian assistance into Gaza that bypasses the United Nations and other aid agencies in favor of armed private contractors was underway on Tuesday. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said Monday it had begun distributing food to residents after lorry loads of supplies had been unloaded at secure hubs in the besieged Palestinian enclave -- but did not provide details of quantities or the areas where it was being distributed. "More trucks with aid will be delivered Tuesday, with the flow of aid increasing each day," it said in a statement. However, only around a dozen men with boxes under their arms were shown leaving an unspecified site in accompanying photos, according to the BBC. Sources, who told The Washington Post that the first shipments went to a facility called Secure Distribution Site One near the so-called Philadelphi Corridor close to the border with Egypt, confirmed that not many people came to receive the aid on offer but that the operation went off without incident. Under the plan, private contractors will secure supply corridors feeding aid distribution sites, designated by Israel, where pre-security-cleared Palestinians will be handed boxes of food and basic hygiene items weighing as much as 44 pounds. No explanation has been provided on how the elderly or disabled would cope with such loads. The U.N. and traditional aid agencies reject the scheme, which aims to prevent aid from allegedly being stolen and resold by Hamas to fund its military operations against Israel, saying it goes against humanitarian ethics and "weaponizes" the issue of aid. GHF Chief Operating Officer David Burke resigned a day after the body's Executive Director and former U.S. Marine, Jake Wood, resigned, saying the scheme fell short of the central humanitarian tenets of "humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence." The board of GHF called Wood's departure two months into the job "disappointing," but vowed to press on with its work, with the goal of getting aid to more than 1 million people in Gaza by Sunday. Burke did not immediately comment on his decision to resign from GHF, which is registered as a non-profit in both Switzerland and the U.S. state of Delaware. GHF's mission director in Gaza, John Acree, a former United States Agency for International Development official, has been appointed as Wood's acting replacement. The start of the GHF mission came a week after Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade after coming under intense international pressure amid warnings of an imminent famine in Gaza, including unprecedented threats of "concrete actions" from Britain, France and Canada. Aside from practical issues facing the infirm, the injured or children fending for themselves, the international aid community said the scheme would cause more displacement, place thousands of people in harm's way, link aid to political and military goals and establish an intolerable precedent. Norwegian Refugee Council General Secretary Jan Egeland called for a return to the tried and tested system developed by the U.N. and international aid agencies over many decades. He accused GHF of being "militarised, privatised, politicized" and "not in conformity with neutrality." Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
