| DID YOU KNOW . . . . Cycle Oregon is going to Athena ? Congratulations to Jim and Reita Lockett on the publication of their book Tales From the Past! No Recipe this month because you probably will get a box of chocolates - or maybe you still have some Christmas Goodies in the freezer ! If you are really lucky, you might receive a box of candy from Moonstruck - a Portland Chocalatier. Last February's Consumer Magazine declared their Truffle the BEST IN THE WORLD. Oprah, also, has praised Moonstruck. FOOD WISE, this did get our attention several years ago: Lasagna (an ethnic dish requiring half a day of your life to prepare and one full day of rest when it's done.) It was in an ad for "Ragu". RED HEARTS - RED DRESSES this month. Women also have Heart Attacks. We MUST take care of ourselves. Coming Soon: A special recipe for Creme Brulee - this for our friend Katherine |
