Stay cool as temperatures rise in Michigan
Beat the Michigan heat
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services put out an alert to beat the heat as temperatures rise in Michigan. Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, the MDHHS’s chief medical executive, says people should look out for signs of heat stroke or exhaustion. Some tips to cool off during the spring and summer months are: staying indoors to stay cool, wearing sunscreen, and drinking fluids without large amounts of sugar. She says kids, older adults, and those with health conditions should be extra cautious. People can also call or text 211 for information about cooling centers. For the flyer in Bangla, click here.

Make this homemade Bangladeshi chicken and potato curry
If you’re thinking about learning Bangladeshi cuisine and you need a dinner idea - start with a simple chicken and potato curry. Slowly cooked to absorb those savory flavors to create a warm bowl or plate of homecooked food.
For as long as I can remember, chicken and potato curry has been a staple in my home growing up. Now I also cook this for my children, who look forward to eating this Bangladeshi dish.
