  • Help Request for JoAnn
    (Posted for Christine)

    As my family already knows, my dear cousin JoAnn has been fighting breast cancer for the past 14 years.  She seemed to be the picture of health two years ago while she was in remission, but now she is struggling with the third episode of this insidious disease.

    With the building industry in a crunch, her husband was laid off after 24 years as a carpenter. She's borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and the lease on her car has run out.  The leasing company wants the car back on Tuesday June 29th.

    I found this organization that gives cars to people in medical and/or financial need.  I think she needs 1,000 votes to get a car.

    Please help!

    a.  go to the website:  http://www.freecharitycars.org
    b.  register (it asks for a sponsor, you can leave that blank)
    c.  go to the tab marked VOTE FOR APPLICANTS
    d.  Find JosephineAnn, read her story and VOTE for her.
    e.  Forward this request to as many people you know as possible

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

RECIPE BOX

Chinese Chicken Salad a la Rita Pecka (breast cancer survivor since 1988)

Ingredients:
4 bone-in chicken breasts, cooked and meat shredded

1 large head green cabbage, shredded

2 oz. (probably about 6 TBSP) sesame seeds, toasted in oven

2 small packages of sliced almonds, toasted in oven

2 bunches of scallions, sliced

2 pkg ramen noodles, broken up and toasted in oven

Dressing:
1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cups apple cider vinegar

1 cup vegetable oil

Salt, pepper and MSG to taste

Mix everything together except the ramen noodles.  Add the noodles and toss just before serving.  You can use more or less of anything to suit your taste.  Keeps well – the noodles get soft, but the salad is still good.
NOTE: Be careful when toasting the sesame seeds, almonds and noodles - they brown quickly and can burn quickly. Spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet, place in a 350 oven and watch them like a hawk.  Remove when they turn a nice toasty brown and take them off the cookie sheet right away to cool, so they will stop browning.
