Seven Fishes

Every region of Italy has different favorite dishes, but there are some common points. Seafood is usually a major part of Christmas Eve dinner…

This Christmas Eve tradition features many different fish dishes – often called as the 7-fish dinner (about, depending upon local customs). Dinner usually begins with antipasti (olives, peppers, mozzarella in water, sun-dried tomatoes, bruschetta, etc.). Followed by a main course of baked fish fish very likely the featured some baccala – salted dried cod. Crab, mussels, fried calamari and shrimps are often a part of the meal, found in both hot dishes and cold seafood salads. People in northern Italy eat less seafood on Christmas Eve and often feature a meat-free filled pasta called ravioli di magro or spinach and ricotta ravioli or a unique pumpkin-filled ravioli.

Santa Claus Loves Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program

November 30th, 2010

Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program is a blessing for Kids Dealing with Cancer and their families

To provide education and comfort to children living with cancer through medical play using therapeutic tools.

  • Childhood cancer, far from being one cancer, is many different kinds of cancer each one with its own individual challenges and treatments.
  • On the average, one in every four elementary schools has a child with cancer. The average high school has two students who are current or former cancer patients.
  • Cancer remains the number one disease killer of children; more than genetic anomalies, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS combined.
  • September is National Childhood cancer awareness month.
  • Gabe’s My Heart is partnering with Cool People Care, Inc for the purpose of raising funds for the Chemo Duck Program and to raise awareness of Childhood Cancer Month – September 2010.
