No sense slaving if it's easy to try slaw Cabbage more 'in' than ever before "Food" By Barbara Bratel Collier Oct. 31, 1996 Americans are having a love affair with cole slaw. In fact, earlier this year, USA Today named slaws as one of the 40 "in" food choices. For the past dozen or so years, the overall popularity of cabbage has risen significantly. That comes, in part, due to its many nutritional benefits. Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable which is thought to help protect against carcinogens. Another enzyme found in cabbage and broccoli is sulphoraphane, which scientists are discovering also may have cancer-fighting abilities. Cabbage is also great because it's so low in calories. (One cup of plain coarsely shredded cabbage is only 15 calories.) But, like pasta, it's the amount and the kind of dressing you choose that pushes the calories up. For convenience, in some recipes, a commercially produced dressing is used for the variety of cold cole slaws. One Step ready-made dressing is already flavored and ready to use. Get off the lettuce salads for a change and consider a crunchy slaw or one of its kin, like a crunchy, crispy relish. They're great on burgers.

Answers at the bottom kath Match the Quote to the Speaker 1. "A father may turn his back on his child; brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies; husbands may desert their wives and wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all; in good repute, in bad repute, in the face of the world's condemnation, a mother still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways, and repent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled her bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his childhood, the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought to think him all unworthy." 2."Men are what their mothers made them." 3."The Mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother and to become fully independent." 4."Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." 5."A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take." 6."A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary." 7."Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom,exhaustion, and sorrow, too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own. 8."Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process." 9."No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed." 10."You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." A. Kahlil Gibran B. Ralph Waldo Emerson C.

Oh, Very Good Stuff Missi Richiele~! Thank you. Happy Memorial Day Weekend Sweetheart. Love ya, kath Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and was rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children. Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester. Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares. Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together. Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to us but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judgment and quick to forgiveness and patience and empathy and love. AMEN!

Blackfoot Tale--submitted by Shadowdancer HOW THE WORM PIPE CAME TO THE BLACKFOOT As told to anthropologist George Bird Grinnell, 1900 Family affection is one of the most striking characteristics of the Indian, and permeates all his legend and folklore. It is the motive which induces many a hero to start off on his travels, striving to accomplish some great thing. Stories having this motive are Comanche Chief and the Ghost Wife in Pawnee, and Scarface and the Origin of the Worm Pipe in Blackfoot literature. An abstract of this last tale will give an idea of its character, and incidentally show its resemblance to one of the most familiar classical myths. -- GBG There was once a man who was very fond of his wife. After they had been married for some time they had a little boy. After that the woman fell sick and did not get well. The young man loved his wife so dearly that he did not wish to take a second wife. She grew worse and worse. Doctoring did not seem to do her any good, and at last she died. The man used to take his baby on his back and travel out from the camp, walking over the hills crying. He kept away from the village. After some time he said to his child, "My little boy, you will have to go and live with your grandmother. I am going to try to find your mother and bring her back." He took the baby to his mother's lodge and asked her to take care of him, and left it with her. Then he started off to look for his wife, not knowing where he was going nor what he was going to do. He traveled toward the land of the dead; and after long journeyings, by the assistance of helpers who had spiritual power, he reached it. The old woman who helped him to get there told him how hard it was to penetrate to the ghosts' country, and made him understand that the shadows would try to scare him by making fearful noises and showing him strange and terrible things. At last he reached the ghosts' camp, and as he passed through it the ghosts tried to scare him by all kinds of fearful sights and sounds, but he kept up a brave heart. He reached a lodge, and the man who owned it came out and asked him where he was going. He said, "I am looking for my dead wife. I mourn for her so much that I cannot rest. My littleboy, too, keeps crying for his mother. They have offered to give me other wives, but I do not want them. I want only the one for whom I am searching." The ghost said to him: "It is a fearful thing that you have come here. It is very likely that you will never get away. There never was a person here before." But the ghost asked him to come into the lodge, and he entered. Then this chief ghost said to him: "You shall stay here for four nights, and you shall see your wife; but you must be very careful or you will never go back. You will die right here." Then the chief went outside and called for a feast, inviting this man's father-in-law and other relations who were in the camp, saying, "Your son-in-law invites you to a feast," as if to say that their son-in-law was dead, and had become a ghost, and had arrived at the ghosts' camp. Now when these invited people, the relations and some of the principal men of the camp, had reached the lodge, they did not like to go in. They called out, "There is a person here!" It seemed that there was something about him that they could not bear the smell of. The ghost chief burned sweet pine in the fire, which took away this smell, and the people came in and sat down. Then the host said to them: "Now pity this son-in-law of yours. He is seeking his wife. Neither the great distance nor the fearful sights that he has seen here have weakened his heart. You can see for yourselves he is tender-hearted. He not only mourns for his wife, but mourns also because his little boy is now alone, with no mother; so pity him and give him back his wife." After consultation the ghosts determined that they would give him back his wife, who should become alive again. They also gave him a sacred pipe. And at last, after many difficulties, the man and his wife reached their home.

Origin of the Word 'Chicago' An Ojibwa Folk Tale As told by Katharine Judson Once an Ottawa hunter and his wife lived on the shores of Lake Michigan. Then the hunters went south, toward the end of the lake, to hunt. When he reached the lake* where he had caught beaver the year before, it was still covered with ice. Then he tapped the ice to find the thinner places where the beaver families lived. He broke holes at these weaker points in the ice, and went to his wigwam to get his traps. Now the hunter's wife chanced to pass one of these holes and saw a beaver on the ice. She caught it by the tail and called to the hunter to come and kill it quickly, before it could get back into the water. "No," said the hunter, "if I kill this beaver, the others will become frightened. They will escape from the lake by other openings in the ice." Then the woman became angry, and they quarreled. When the sun was near setting, the hunter went out on the ice again, to set more traps. When he returned to his tepee, his wife had gone. He thought she had gone to make a visit. The next morning she had not returned, and he saw her footprints. So he followed her trail to the south. As he followed her trail, he saw that the footprints gradually changed. At last they became the trail of a skunk. The trail ended in a marsh, and many skunks were in that marsh. Then he returned to his people. And he called the place, "The Place of the Skunk**." * [Between Milwaukee and Chicago, going south where Chicago now stands.] ** Which apparently is the translation of the word Chicago... yes, the word has undergone some small changes in spelling and pronunciation... no, I don't have the original spelling on-hand.
