Hi Dave,

The important thisg is that he got the surgery. My poor sister nwas
past the "window of opportunity" when the surgery was developed - so
she has to live with the deteriorating spinal column - unlike her
girls their girls.

Can't be any fun for your sister. I know that I've hurt my back various times and it's been no fun so can imagine the pain your sister is going thru on a daily basis.

It really bothered her when she was declared "disabled" and not
allowed to work ... even though she could still do the job.

Couldn't even work from home? Probably not, since it was pre Covid and
work from home wasn't as popular.

Whst bothered her worser was when her grand daughter, Hayley, who was
on track to become an Olympic swimmer has the degenerative discs knock that dream for a loop.

That must have been a crushing feeling. Did she get the surgery?

chicken.

Yes, she did. But, whilst it "fixed" the problem it put a hitch in her
"get along" which affected the swimming and put "paid" to the Olympic
hopes. Which was a shame. But, Hayley's a good kid and she'll snap back
from it. Bv)=

She was a "social worker" and attending my local branch of the

they dropped the bomb.

Did she finish the Master's or just let it drop? My mom was told she had
5 years to get her Master's in Library Science, then the state said "you
can't do it; you have a husband and 5 kids to take care of". She proved
them wrong, pulling down A's and B's in all her course work.

Sounds like she will do well for herself in some other field, missing
the competitive swimming less and less as time goes on.

Title: Red Hatch Chile Chicken Burgerus Maximus
Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb Ground chicken thighs
1/4 c Fine diced red bell pepper
1/4 c Rough chopped cilantro
3 tb Dried bread crumbs; fine
1 ts Melissa's HOT hatch chile
- powder
1 ts Melissa's MILD hatch chile
- powder
2 tb Tangerine Hatch Chile Not
- Ketchup
1 ts Ground cumin

To make the burgers, combine all ingredients - ground
chicken through green onion, in a medium bowl, mixing
until evenly distributed.

Line a small sheet pan or plate with parchment paper and
set aside.

Divide meat mixture into 4 equal parts and form into a
patties. Freeze for 5-7 minutes to firm up the patties.
This is key to getting them on the grill without falling
apart. The meat mixture can be stretched to serve 6,
just make thinner patties.

Brush the patties with olive oil and place oil side down
on the grates. Brush the top with more olive oil. Grill
over high heat for 4-5 minutes on the first side, 2-3 on
the second side. Patties should register at least 165F.

Serve on hamburger buns with toppings of your choice.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Housewarming Burgers
Categories: Beef, Breads, Sauces, Citrus
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb Ground turkey *
1/4 c Quick cooking oats; or bread
- crumbs
2 tb Tomato paste
1 tb Lemon juice
1 ts Soy sauce
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1 ts Garlic granules; or more
1 ts Paprika
pn (ea) salt & pepper
4 Whole wheat buns
4 sl Really good yellow cheese;
- optional (UDD)

MMMMM------------------------UDD TOPPINGS-----------------------------
Sliced onion
Sliced tomato
Peeled, pitted, sliced
- avocado
Hamburger dill slices
Mustard & catsup
Mayonnaise

* Ground chuck works well in place of the buzzard - but
it won't be as "healty" - UDD

In a medium mixing bowl, combine turkey, oats, tomato
paste, lemon juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add in seasonings and combine well. Divide into 4
patties.

Let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors
really sink in.

Heat grill on high. Once heated, add burgers and close
the lid. Let cook for 5 minutes, flip, then cook another
3-5 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Remove patties and place on bun. Add toppings of choice
and enjoy!

UDD Notes: I've made this with both turkey and beef. I
prefer the beef. Next I'm going to try ground pork. As
for the toppings - those are all things I actually use
from time to time. With the soy and Worster sauces in
the mix - if you're adding cheese - choose an assertive
flavour else it will just be coloured bun filler.

Oh, yeah - this recipe works inside on a grill pan/
skillet just fine.

Would that all degrees were so easy. I got a diploma in Women's Studies
a few years ago. It had been a long time since I got my Bachelor's

work at it. Finished 13 courses with 10 A's and 3 A+'s tho.
