Welcome everyone to Mocha Monday
at Cappuccino’s Caf?.
Well, it’s been a hectic two
months but my mother is finally on the road to
recovery, thanks to all your
prayers. She has now been transferred to another
hospital where she will get
daily therapy. I can only hope and pray that she
will recover some speech so
that she can communicate with us and her friends.
At the moment, she speaks
gibberish as her brain scrambles her words. Her
mind, however, is intact and
being speechless frustrates her to no end.
Kiki has returned to Sudbury
with yet another computer. I hope this one works
this time as I will definitely
need her help with this newsletter.
She has been a great help with my
mother as we took shifts caring for her
24 hours a day at the hospital. Our
health care system’s protocol for the
over 55 is to let them waste away rather
than save them and it had been a
battle to get the medical attention my mother
deserved. This was not a case
of public health care as she had exceptional
medical coverage but a case of
no compassion for the elderly. Because of this,
she suffered many undue
setbacks (infections, depression, anger). Who can blame
her?
We, as a whole, must to do
something about this inept health care system.
I, for one, plan to start a petition
as soon as my life gets somewhat back to
normal. I hope that you will join me
at that time to let the politicians know
how we feel about this.
Thank you all for listening to my
rantings. Now, on to the freebies.
May your hearts be happy, your mailboxes
full and the mailman forever busy.
Until next time, Happy
Hunting!!!!

Recipe (4 recipes)
Light Vanilla Ice Box Ice Cream
1/4 cup Splenda
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup skim milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Mix the Splenda, salt, corn syrup, and water in a
microwave safe bowl until the
Splenda and salt are dissolved. Heat it in the
microwave until it simmers, stirring once.
Place the bowl of sugar syrup in the
refrigerator or freezer until well cooled.
2. Beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft
peaks form.
3. Fold in the milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla
extract, and sugar syrup.
4. Pour it into a pan or baking dish and freeze.
5. When nearly frozen, remove the ice cream from the
freezer, spoon it into a large
bowl, and beat with electric beater. Put the ice
cream back into the pan and continue
freezing.
Baker’s Note: Rapidly freezing your ice cream improves the
texture. Since your freezer
is colder than the freezing compartment of your
refrigerator, you’ll make better ice
cream in the freezer.

Spaghetti Con Polpettine (tasty meatballs)
Cooking Tip: For a lower-fat option, bake the meatballs
instead of sauteing them.
Arrange them on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake
at 350 degrees, turning once
or twice, until brown and cooked through, about 20
minutes.
Serves 4 (makes about 24 to 30 meatballs and 3 cups of
tomato sauce)
Meatballs
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/4 lb. ground sweet or hot Italian sausage
3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. bread crumbs
2 tsp. onion powder, or 2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Tomato Sauce
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 tbsp. finely grated carrot (about 1/2 small carrot)
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
Salt to taste
Pasta
1 lb. spaghetti
Grated Parmesan cheese
1. To make the meatballs, mix all the ingredients except the
olive oil and form into
1-inch balls (the size of small walnuts). In a large
saute pan, brown the meatballs
in the oil until cooked through, about 8 to 10
minutes.
2 . To make the tomato sauce, saute
the onion and carrot in the olive oil for 3 to 4
minutes over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Toss
in the tomatoes and reduce the
heat to medium, cooking another 10 to 15 minutes.
Add salt to taste. Toss in
the meatballs.
3. While the meatballs gently
simmer in the sauce, bring a pot of water to a boil for
the pasta. Cook until
the pasta is al dente, or slightly chewy. Fill individual bowls
with the cooked
pasta and add the sauce.

Daily Funnies
Government Bureaucracy
In the year 2006, the Lord came unto Noah,
who was now living in the United
States, and
said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated,
and I
see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark
and save 2 of every
living thing along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying,
"You have 6 months to build the Ark
before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.
"Six months later, the Lord looked
down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah,
"but things have changed.
I needed a building permit.
I've been arguing with the inspector about
the need for a sprinkler system.
My neighbours claim that I've violated the
neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark
in my yard and exceeding the height limitations.
We had to go to the Development Appeal
Board for a decision.
Then the Department of Transportation
demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other
overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's
move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would
hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem.
There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried
to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls but
no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an
animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals
against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it
was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.
Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build
the Ark
until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I'm still trying to resolve a complaint
with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire
for my building crew.
Immigration and naturalization are checking
the green-card status of most of the people who want to work.
The trades unions say I can't use my sons.
They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, the IRS seized all
my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered
species.
So , forgive me, Lord, but it would take at
least 10 years for me To finish this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began
to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked,
"You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me
to it."
