Publisher's Desk...
Good morning to one and all. This is the eve of Mother's Day and I wish all
mothers out there the very happiest of days tomorrow. Motherhood is often a
thankless job but none is more rewarding. For you I have recipes that are
perfect for preparing for that special someone tomorrow. I believe all
ingredients may be found on short notice and preparations easy enough to handle
after church for serving. I have also included a lot of material dedicated to
mothers everywhere. I hope you enjoy all you find here.
Special request:
Would you take a minute and read the Mail Box? It is a letter from me to
you. Thanks.
Notice:
I am taking tomorrow off from A to Z Recipes. It is a day I intend to
spend with my family. I am going to Galveston today to see my own mother and
will not have time to work on an issue. I know you can understand. And, since
tomorrow is also my birthday (at age 52, not a BIG reason for celebration, lol)
I would like to take a little breather for myself. I will see you Monday, God
willing. Have a lovely weekend.

Ramblings...
WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
(Written by a former child)
Shared by Bette, Pittsburg, CA
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you
feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good
to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I
learned that the little things could be the
special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you
say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could
always talk to and I learned to trust in God.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend
who was sick, and I learned that we all have to
help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you give of your time and money to
help people who had nothing and I learned
that those who have something should give
to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you take care of our house and
everyone in it and I learned we have to take
care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw how you handled your responsibilities,
even when you didn't feel good and I learned
that I would have to be responsible when
I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes and I
learned that sometimes things hurt,
but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw that you cared and I wanted to
be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I learned most of life's lessons that I
need to know to be a good and productive
person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I looked at you and wanted to say,
"Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking."
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF
THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO DO
SO MUCH FOR OTHERS THAT THINK
NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT.
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin,
teacher or friend) influence the lives of others.
How will you touch the life of someone today?
Family Attitude
Shared by Mary Jane, Stockton, CA
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each
morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup
perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home
today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she
smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her
walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room,
including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just
been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something
you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how
the furniture is arranged...it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to
love it ..."It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a
choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the
parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the
ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the
new day and all the happy memories I've stored away .....just for this time in
my life."
Old age is like a bank account .....you withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account
of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still
depositing.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for
could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own
family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE
(Y)OU
Happy Mother's Day
Shared by Millie, TX
I do not think you just have to be a mother to appreciate this... While I think
fathers will appreciate this as well as sons and daughters, only a mother, will know the true emotion.
After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of
love. A little while ago I started to go out with another woman. It was really
my wife's idea. "I know that you love her," she said one day, taking me by
surprise. "But I love YOU," I protested." I know, but you also love her."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years.
The demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her
only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a
movie.
"What's wrong, are you okay ?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who
suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be nice to spend some time with you, "I responded.
"Just the two of us?" She thought about it for a moment, then said, "I would
like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When
I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our
"date". She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was
wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends
that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as
she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our evening..."
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My
mother took my arm as if she were the First lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print.
Half way through the entr?©es, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring
at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the
menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary but
catching up on recent events of each other's life.
We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later,
she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I
agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more
so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so
suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from
the same place my mother and I had dined.
An attached note read:
"Son, I paid this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there
but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your
wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you."
At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time: "I LOVE YOU" and
to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they
deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

Did You Know?...
Tuna, Salmon and Other Fish May Reduce Asthma Symptoms
Adding to the numerous health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, British researchers find eating fish like tuna, salmon and sardines, which contain omega-3, may reduce the risk of asthma symptoms.
Conducted in December 2002 at the University of Cambridge, the study found the intake of fish that contain omega-3, may have a protective affect against contracting the respiratory disease. The National Asthma Campaign agreed the research supports previous studies, which have linked diet and asthma symptoms, according to Reuters.
"Research has again found that the intake of tuna, salmon and sardines ??“ rich in omega-3, high in protein and low in fat ??“ have a positive impact on overall health, from reducing the risk of heart disease to preventing the development of asthma symptoms," said Don George, senior vice president of marketing at Chicken of the Sea International.
The British study augments the flow of scientific information demonstrating the benefits of omega-3.
The Journal of the American Medical Association has reported a woman's risk of heart disease decreases by one-third with consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, expanding upon standing research that it reduces a man's chances of heart disease. The New England Journal of Medicine also reported a decline of heart disease in men by about 80 percent due to the intake of omega-3.

The Mail Box...
Welcome to The Mail Box where a2z family members may send mail for all to read. It is expected that opinions, suggestions, etc. posted here be done with kindness and respect for all involved. If you have a message for the group, please send it to maggieblackwell@hotmail.com with "Mail Box" as subject. As in ALL items for posting, your first name and location must be included in the message. Posting is at the discretion of the publisher.
My Dear a2z Family:
This week was, quite frankly, a publisher's nightmare. Now, why would Maggie say
such a thing? Well, in a nutshell, I will share what has been going on. This
week I have received emails from about 20 a2z family members commenting (ok,
some complaining) about recent issues. Most were comments about what has been
posted in Ramblings (submissions from readers and posted). Two were comments
about recipes (submissions from readers and posted). OK, publishing a daily
newsletter is going to generate comments, complaints, etc. I am a big girl and
have learned to cope. However, there have been only THREE members who
sent in recipes (only one for the monthly theme). There were TWO
Ramblings submissions. Very few votes (one day saw votes totaling in the teens,
friends). Am I upset because you are voicing your opinion? NO. But for most, I find that
ONLY complaining and not contributing akin to looking a gift horse in the
mouth, quite frankly. This is a publication for participants. In order for me to
continue to provide fresh (and pleasing) content daily, I must have your help.
Yes, letting me know what you find distasteful or offensive IS helpful. I want
you to tell me how I am doing here in A to Z Recipes. However, in your mind, can
you see that alone as truly being a "participant"? I want to thank all of you
who have taken the time to write me. I truly appreciate it. And those who sent
me birthday wishes, you kept me from throwing in the towel. I am blessed for the
thoughtfulness. I simply need some help to continue here.
Keeping the faith,
Maggie

A to Z Recipes Family Reunion Plans
My family is planning a road trip in late June and I'd love to meet some of you along the way. We will be driving to Florida (from the Houston, Texas area). We had wanted to take this trip last year and could not afford to (not that we can now, lol). Unfortunately, the person my children most wanted to see for the first time in their lives, their paternal grandfather, died a few weeks ago. I'd like to ensure that they see the remaining relatives while all enjoy good health. If you live near one of these cities, maybe some of us can finally meet, face to face.
How about a cup of coffee? Great! Let's meet! Here is my schedule for when and where I will be:
-Wednesday morning, June 23rd, Biloxi, MS
-Saturday morning, June 26th, Orlando, FL
-Tuesday morning, June 29th, New Orleans, LA
If you'd like to discuss this, make plans, offer some feedback, help me decide exactly where in each city to meet, you may do it right here and now.
I look forward to meeting with each of you and perhaps hearing what you have to say about us meeting in YOUR area next.
What about a catered affair one day? WOW!!!
Come on, folks. Let's chat...

Next Monthly Theme...
Fire Up That Grill!
What a perfect June theme topic. Yes, in most parts of the a2z world, the weather will be conducive to that all-time favorite type of cooking: outside on the grill. And, in honor of fathers everywhere, what better way to please his palate than stock up on some great recipes for him to prepare? Dads are not always the first to rush into the kitchen after a hard day at work and prepare dinner. But, on weekends when everyone is relaxed, he will fire up that grill and cook. It would be particularly nice of you were able to share some recipes your special dad actually uses, but also great if you simply want to send along some for all of us to enjoy. Your submissions can also include side dish recipes that are accompaniments to your favorite grilling recipes. Let's have a great June theme
by sending in some favorites today for when you Fire Up That Grill!
Note: Because the American holiday of Memorial Day is on May 31st and an ideal time to use your theme recipes, we will post the June theme while still in the month of May. And, we normally ask that only two recipes be submitted for theme issues. Because you may have some tasty side dishes for this theme, you may send those along with your two entree submissions. Ready, set, get firing!
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of each month. Send your recipes no later than the last Friday of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme issue. You may send in TWO of your favorite theme recipes (plus side dishes) and in ONE email. If the number of recipes exceeds those needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for the following Sundays of that month. The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.
The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for their own use. Recipes that would require a lot of editing or cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be submitted. Recipes without a name and location of sender may NOT be posted or posted without any credit given. There will be NO recipes posted that are from other recipe-zines. A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT publish email addresses. There will be no exceptions.
The deadline for June's theme issue is Friday, May 28th.
Theme recipes must have subject: "Fire Up That Grill!" and will be posted on Sunday, May 30th.
As usual, only recipes are to be sent to: A to Z Recipes Inbox

Crazy Corner...
The Mommy Test
Shared by Bette, Pittsburg, CA
I was out walking with my then 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off
the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I asked her not to do that.
"Why?" "Because it's been laying outside and is dirty and has germs on it."
At this point, she looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do
you know all this stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly, "all Mommies knows this stuff. Um, it's on the
Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."
"Oh."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering
this new information.
"I get it!" she beamed. "Then if you flunk, you have to be the Daddy."

4 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Preparation Time: 45 minutes plus chilling
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves 2
1. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry. With a sharp knife, remove the
small fillet from each chicken breast. Reserve for another use. Then cut a
pocket into one side of each chicken breast.
2. Peel the garlic, and press it into a small bowl using a garlic press. Finely
grate the peel from the lemon. Wash the dill, pat dry, and pull off all the
leaves. Mix the lemon peel, dill, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/16 teaspoon pepper, and
the butter into the garlic.
3. Divide the garlic butter into 2 portions and insert 1 portion into each
chicken pocket. Close each opening with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 1 hour so
that the butter becomes firm again.
4. Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Sprinkle
the chicken breasts with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/16 teaspoon pepper. Dip them
into the flour, then the egg, and lastly the bread crumbs.
5. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and fry the chicken breasts over medium-high
heat on each side for 4 minutes, until crispy. Serve immediately.
