Grilled Avocado with Mango Mint Salsa and Wild Rice Posted: 10 May 2011 12:13 AM PDT I'm always looking for new things to do with mangoes and this salsa is a fantastically fresh way to perk up some of my favorite things. It's super simple and addictively delicious - two more of my favorite things. 1 mango, peeled and finely diced 1/4 cup minced red onion 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro or mint Zest of 1 lime 1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice Salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste Mix everything together and chill for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Unlike guacamole, it won't discolor so let it sit longer if you can. It's perfect when it's freshly made but even more sublime after all the little bits have had a chance to mingle. It was last served it on the patio atop a grilled avocado with wild rice and mango-lime puree. In the same week (it's that good) we served it at a dinner party in a wrap with this pimped up guacamole and some aromatic black beans and rice which, unfortunately, we devoured before I could take any photos. Yum.

Thanks for sharing, Josie.  Since there's no PAL route in Chicago I'm going to miss my favorite pork belly that they are offering as part of their menu.  I bet there's no PAL discount either because of all the amenities.

From: ltumangSubject: FW: Isaiah 65:24Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 13:07:20 -0

THIS WILL TRULY LIFT YOU UP SPIRITUALLY. ENJOY & BELIEVE. Isaiah 65:24 This is a story written By a doctor who worked in Africa . One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).. 'And it is our last hot water bottle!' she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways. 'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts Your job is to keep the baby warm.' The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough,mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died. During prayer time, one ten -year old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. 'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.' While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?' As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say 'Amen?' I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the verandah was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children.. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored.. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend . Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!' Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked, 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' 'Of course,' I replied! That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon.' 'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24) When you receive this, say the prayer. That's all I ask. No strings attached. Just send it on to whomever you want - but do send it on. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, but a lot of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another. This awesome prayer takes less than a minute. Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this. I ask You to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your courage.. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen P. S. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ would do. God bless you today and always.

Our college classmate Vicky is not quite old yet for retirement but maybe it's for the better.  She invited all of her past co-workers, family and friends.
I met Ofie's mom Elisa who made me laugh all the time.  More friends came late in the evening - Fe, Gilda, and Rose.  Fe, a 1955 UST Pharmacy graduate, told me she's going home to the Philippines in October "for good."  She was very much interested in attending  the UST Pharmacy Alumni Homecoming Dinner-Dance in Manila.  I told her I'll write Mrs. Gallardo an e-mail to update her on the invitation and other details.  She gave me her home address in the Philippines also.
