[News Boquete] Mexican Food is back along with a unique cheese and lots more!!


 

Hello, 

Is it Saturday already?  Wow the weeks sure tend to fly by.  If you are new to Boquete or are unfamiliar with our service we are a frozen meal business that's been serving the Boquete and Highland communities for almost 10 years.  Join our weekly mailer by clicking here:  Click here to get on my mailing list!!

This week we are whipping up some serious options for you to enjoy.  We have lots of Mexican Food this week!!  For starters we have Deconstructed Chile relleno back on the menu as well as out Turkey Taco Lasagna.  We also have Smoked Chicken Mexican Burritos and more to come.  What is a deconstructed Chili Relleno you might ask?  Well, it's our way of taking an impossible dish to freeze and turning it into an incredible freezer meal. 

Thin Crust Pepperoni Pizzas are back on the menu this week as well as our Spinach & Artichoke Dip.  Don't be limited by the name this dip also makes a great stuffing for chicken, an awesome topping for a baked potato, or a creamy topping for pasta, rice, or vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.

We've added a couple new items this week to our menu as well.  We have authentic Panamanian cheese and ham empanadas.  These empanadas are stuffed with cremoso cheese (a local favorites amongst chefs) and smoked ham.  We decided to sell them uncooked in bags of 5, so all you have to do is fry one or all of them up whenever you plan on cooking.  These can be fried from frozen and only take 5-7 minutes to cook.  A perfect quick local food that really delivers in the flavor department.

We've also made a small batch of Pork Aspic (AKA Hog Head Cheese).  I know it sounds crazy but this savory pork appetizer is scrumptious.  Select cuts of pork are slow cooked in a flavorful vegetable broth till they are fall apart tender.  Once finished the collagen rich broth is clarified and added back to the pork meat.  The end result is a meaty and herby snack that can be eaten cold or served over hot foods.  Each portion is precut and weighs just over a half pound..     



You can check out our entire menu by clicking this link below and if you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a phone call or email.

The Gift of Life
Blood Drive March 6

We are thrilled that 60 people have signed up to donate blood on March 6.  Thanks to all these folks who are Giving the Gift of Life with their precious blood.

Anyone living in the Boquete Health and Hospice service area is eligible to receive blood.  Also, the family members of those who donate blood are also eligible even if they don't live in our service area but, if they are in one of the David hospitals.  Blood can be made available in a very short time after the request is made on our Blood Help Line (6590-2000).  No longer is there a need to beg family and friends to drive to David to donate blood.

People are also still signing up for the Matching Fund drive.  This program allows a person who cannot donate blood to still help by agreeing to donate a specific amount (their choice) for each pint of blood donated.  This helps cover the expenses of holding the blood drive, which in turn allows those from our community that need blood to get it quickly.  Please consider this option for Giving the Gift of Life!

The Purple Cloud..........
,,,,,,,rolled into the wonderful Biblioteca de Boquete for the BCP Community Chat on Feb. 18.  This was the first time the new and simplified format for Being Prepared in Boquete for Life and Death, was presented.  It's been over a year since BHH has been able to have any presentation regarding Being Prepared.  The 'masked' audience was so receptive, and words like "excellent" were mixed with applause and many thanks of appreciation to presenters Char Lintz and Joanie Feuerstein. Personal stories and real-life experiences from Boquete were surely motivational in emphasizing the necessity of making an action plan using the reader-friendly guide and in accordance with Panamanian law.  Explaining some distinct differences between Panama and ex-pats' passport countries, enlightened most participants. We are proud to share that BHH recently established a working relationship with the blood bank at Regional Hospital in David.  The Guide is available for a $10 donation at MBE and at the Tuesday Market.  A PDF version is available for a $5 donation on our website, boquetehealth.org.  We thank BCP, Phil Bennett and our beautiful library for making this venue available to us.

Music's Ability to Support Health & Wellness
By Art Blevins
Scientific research has shown that music has medicinal value, ranging from the reduction of anxiety to improving brain function in patients with degenerative brain diseases.   Growing from this scientific recognition of the beneficial aspects of music is the wellness trend that is blossoming worldwide.  It is changing the music industry.  And technology is jumping in utilizing biometrics and artificial intelligence to enable music to become a deeply personalized precision medicine. The Magic of Music program at Boquete Health & Hospice is ramping up to focus not only on using music to help patients with degenerative brain diseases but also on music wellness efforts. What exactly do we mean by "wellness"?  And what is the connection between wellness and music?  How will the Magic of Music program at Boquete Health & Hospice be involved?  To answer those questions and to find out more: Click the Button Below to read the full article.

First Aid for the Home
The final presentation of BHH First Aid for the Home was presented at the library on February 4, under the auspices of BCP Community Chat.  Bud Huber was generous enough to tape the presentation and it is posted on the BoqueteHealth.org website as well as our YouTube channel and the Boquete Health and Hospice page on Chiriqui Life.  Thank you, Bud, for your time and effort in making the video available to the community

I wonder if …?

•   I wonder if … I or a loved one needed help dealing with a health problem here in Boquete. Who would assist me?
Boquete Health and Hospice.
I would like to be a part of this essential organization. I wonder if   … I could do that?

•  I wonder if… since I do not have the skills to work directly with patients or the dying …. What could I possibly do to be a part of the Volunteers for Boquete Health and Hospice?
With a ride to the Doctors, an assist to the grocery store, a telephone call because someone is lonely, a friendly visit, a meal dropped off at their door, a "Thinking of You" little gift basket appearing? Put up flyers announcing events, shouting out to your friends when there is a Blood Drive, or donations needed for a special purpose.

•   I wonder if… I could greet folks who arrive at the BHH Community Chats… to inform our town of the support they receive from BHH? The BHH Ambassadors do all the "around the edges little things that also matter".

•  I wonder if someone will answer my email or call to Volunteer for The BHH Ambassadors?"
Yes, I will. Gracias and Stay Safe!

Have a truck?  We need you!
BHH has a number of hospital beds that we loan to people who need them.   In normal times (not COVID) we usually deliver and assemble the bed at the person's house.  The bed fits in the back of a pick-up.   If you are willing to help with this important job, contact Sally Zigmond at 507-6714-0737 or click the button below to send an email,

Next General Meeting
The March 10 General Meeting of Boquete Health and Hospice will be another first for the organization.  With technical help from our webmaster, we will hold both an in-person meeting and simultaneously hold a Zoom meeting.  At our February 10 general meeting, we had 25 people attend and there (thankfully) were no problems.  However, several people have mentioned that they would like to be able to actually visit with people outside of the meeting times.  Chris McCall has offered to help make the dual format a reality so both those who are comfortable meeting in person as well as those who would rather stay at home can attend.
