Bits & Pieces
Building Opportunity
"All I have is ten fingers. I have no money, and no education. But I know I have one thing -- an opportunity to prove what a man can do."
These are the words of Arthur Wong, who, in 1930 at the age of 17, emigrated from China to New York City. He was determined to carve out his part of the American Dream and so took amy job he could get to make ends meet.
At one point he was hired by a laundry. This was exactly the opportunity Wong had hoped for. He learned all he could about running the business, intent on someday owning his own. Through his resolve, Wong not only opened one shop -- he developed his fledgling business into a thriving chain of laundries.
At last, Wong was face-to-face with his American Dream. He was able to provide opportunities for his children -- like a college education -- that he'd never had himself. "I came here to do what I like to do and hope to do, and I've been fortunate."

*** Rick's Recipe of the Month ***
"South of the Border Salsa"
Fall is in the air and you can really feel it first thing in the morning. There's nothing better to knock down that fall breeze than some good ol' salsa and chips. Don't be scared by the name of this recipe, it's really not as hot as it sounds. Making your own salsa at home is fun, quick, easy, and tastes so much better than that store bought salsa...!!!
Ingredients
* 1 4oz can jalapeno peppers, drained
* 1 4oz can green chilies, include liquid
* 1 1/2 tbsp vinegar
* 1 3oz can tomato paste
* 1/2 tsp dried parsley
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 cups stewed tomatoes
Preparation
Place ingredients in blender jar in the order listed. Secure lid on top. Press the pulse button intermittently 8 - 10 times or until blended to your desire. You may need to turn off the blender and use a spatula to scrape the sides of the jar, replace the lid and blend more. Chill before serving.
The secret to this recipe is to make sure you don't use too much of the tomato paste. Generally tomato paste comes in small 6 oz cans, so be sure you don't use over half of the can. This salsa will last in a Tupperware dish in your refrigerator for about two weeks, and it's good with dipping chips, on tacos, on scrambled eggs, or just about anything.
If this recipe sounds a little too hot for your taste, here's a website that has 532 different salsa recipes, so put a little salsa into your life: 532 Salsa Recipes
Ummmm, Ummmm....!!!!!
