Recap - Luncheon - Park Ridge, IL (Chicago)

Different Ballgame

I did have the luncheon at my house on Saturday, July 21 but the girls who came were from my breast support group from Northwest Community Hospital. Also had one neighbor who is a survivor of breast cancer. All I can say is that a bond forms when you get together socially. We laughed, ate, drank, and talked. Hopefully, in the future there will be a Saturday that is open for our CSN group so that we can bond. What does October look like for you?

Here's the menu:

Chicken Salad (white chicken breast, organic green grapes, organic celery, water chestnuts, toasted almond slices, Mayonnaise, Curry, Soy Sauce)

Bought fresh from the Farmers Market. Cooked green beans. Added raw baby portabella mushrooms and carrots. Seasoned with sea salt and pepper. Poured olive oil with fresh lemon juice over the green beans, mushrooms, and carrots.

Made a Poppy Seed Salad Dressing and poured over organic romaine lettuce, raisins, water chestnuts, organic walnuts.

Italian Bread.

Desert: Organic Strawberries. Cherries. Homemade Lemon Delights which are lemon bars. One doctor told me to quit my job and make this desert to sell. I could make a million dollars on this desert. There is one trick to making it and it took me one year to figure it out.

Lots of Hugs,

You just made my mouth water, big time! So great to hear you and some fellow Pink Sister had a fabulous time in fellowship and eating such a scrumptious meal prepared with much love by you, Janelle. I wish I lived closer to you as I would definitely make the next Pachanga( Spanish for party) Pink Gathering!

It would be fun to cook with someone who likes to cook.
