Friday Morning Message

Posted on July 13, 2018 by The Women of Quail Creek

A Message from Pat

If you are a snowbird or a local resident on vacation, please know that our monsoon season has arrived. The weather is steamy and the rains have been excellent for several days. It is the perfect weather for my indoor hobbies, which include browsing through cookbooks like TWOQC’s ‘A Shared Table’. I found two hot weather recipes that I plan to try and want to share them with you (see below). If you have a special recipe, please pass it on. From time to time we will post them. To our locals, stay cool and enjoy this unlikely desert climate.


This week’s Friday Morning Message:  YOTO: School Success Kits Needed | Member’s Corner | Shared Recipes | Boxes Needed for Clothing Drive | Upcoming Events 


Youth On Their Own (YOTO)

NEEDED – SCHOOL SUCCESS KITS!

In case you missed it, click this photo for the July 11, 2018 GV News article re: YOTO’s need of school supplies donations.

Did you know backpacks are on sale at Costco this month? Thanks to early school starting dates, supplies are showing up in all the stores and sales are starting early. So, it’s time to engage in retail therapy and help a good cause, too.

YOTO served over 1700 students in the last school year, an 8% increase from the previous year. Those numbers will likely increase in this next year so the need for supplies is great. Bring your contributions to the clubhouse M-F 8-4 or bring them to Diane Quinn’s home, 2276 E. Skywalker Way anytime. The list of most needed supplies is HERE.

Not wanting to shop in this heat? You can write a check made out to YOTO and leave it with Diane, too.


Member’s Corner

Cheers and welcome to our two newest members, Jeannette Jarmin and Kristi Lane. They have hoisted our totals to 325 strong.

Angie Werner, Membership Chair is cordially inviting new members to attend The Women of Quail Creek Summertime Wine and Cheese Get Together. If you have not attended a New Member Welcome Party and have joined in 2017 or 2018 we’d love to have you join us. Thursday, August 2 from 1:00-2:30 is the date of our gathering.

This is an opportunity to learn more about The Women of Quail Creek and its various projects from our Board and Committee Chairs. And, it is a great way to get to know other new members in a small casual setting.

Non-alcoholic beverages will also be served.

Please respond to membership@womenqc.com (or 402-309-5467) by July 19 if you would like to attend this event.

Recipes from “A Shared Table”, TWOQC 2014

WENDY’S GREEN SALAD AND DRESSING (p. 44, provided by Janice Pell)

NOTE: This recipe was given to Janice by a lady who had a fresh fruit and vegetable stand near where they lived in California.

Dressing

  • 1 T. brown sugar
  • 2 T. cider vinegar
  • ¼ c. vegetable oil
  • 2 T. fresh parsley, chopped or 1 T. dried parsley
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • Dash Tabasco, optional

Mix brown sugar, vinegar, oil, parsley, salt, and Tabasco in container with tight fitting lid.  Shake. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Salad

  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 c. green onion, chopped
  • ¾ c. celery chopped
  • 1 (11oz.) can Mandarin oranges, drained
  • ½ c. whole or slivered honeyed almonds and macadamia nuts (any proportion preferred)

Tear lettuce in bite sized pieces. Mix lettuce, green onions and celery in a large bowl.  Cover and let stand in refrigerator overnight to mix flavors. Add dressing, nuts and Mandarin oranges just before serving.

SLOW COOKER LOW CALORIE APPLE DESSERT (p. 139, provided by Jo-Anne Spencer)

  • 8 c. apples (Fuji or Gala), sliced
  • 1 T. lemon juice
  • ¼ c brown sugar (not packed)
  • 3 T. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. old fashioned oats
  • ½ c. light whipped topping

Spray crockpot with nonstick spray. Place apples in slow cooker. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt; toss to coat. Evenly top apples with oats. Cover and cook on low 4 hours; allow to cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon whipped topping. Serves 8.


Boxes… Boxes… Boxes

If you have small to medium sized boxes (approximately 16” x 12”), we are eagerly collecting them now for donated items at the annual TWOQC Homeless Veterans’ Clothing Drive, October 20th. We will gladly pick up your flattened boxes for storage until the event.

To donate boxes, please call Bobbi Gordon at (520) 625-9353. Thanks for helping out!
