Fwd: About Chayotes & Saturday's soup

What is that goofy, green, almost pear shaped vegetable you see in the market?

Chayote is a heart-healthy vegetable that takes on the flavors that surround it. 

• It grows easily on vines and is abundant in Panama.
• It can be eaten raw, in tender slices, and added to enhance salads.
• Or it can be lightly steamed, chilled, and added to egg or tuna salads.
• You can also boil it and mix it up along with potatoes or cauliflower to serve as a hot vegetable, seasoned with butter, salt & pepper.
• Many people don't know that you can use the young leaves to make a daily tea for heart and kidney health.

Tip from Elizabeth: When pealing, do so Under Running Water, or you will experience a drying feeling on your hands from it's juices. (If this happens, aleve with hand lotion.)

Today at Big Daddy's ... and while it lasts... a bowl of  Chayote/Saffron soup made from Chayotes from Elizabeth's garden, Lemon Grass, Saffron, even Mandarins from our tree! ...and other, more Secret Spices.  Served with a Warmed, Personal Loaf of Bread ... only $5.50.

for sculptures and things like concrete counter tops.  Using Ferro cement

you can make almost any shape in concrete.

Fwd: [News Boquete] Last call for Johnny and Leonardo and a Very Special Request

We have combined two messages into one rather than you having to receive two separate emails. The first one is about a very special request to all our BCP supporters. Below that request is information about tomorrow's exciting movie.

 

 

BCP - Looking for Materials

We depend on your community support for our many projects.

Currently we are building a rear structure, a covered work area, under which we can build and load scenery and set pieces in and out of the theatre.  

We need Carriolas and corrugated metal roofing if you have extra lying around from your building projects.

We are also looking for a shipping (moving) container that we can use in the back of the Event Center to house scenery, props, costumes and other scenic elements.

You may contact us at the email address shown above.

Thank you.

 

 

A reminder that tomorrow is the showing of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" at the BCP Theatre. Happy hour starts at 5:00 PM and the movie will start at 6:00 PM.
