Priscille had an assignment in her World History class to prepare a special dish from her culture. She chose the Hawaiian/Chinese dish - chicken long rice - which is traditionally served at luaus. It is comfort food for the locals.
Chicken long rice is a dish with bean thread noodles, chicken, onions - round and green, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, chicken broth, and salt and pepper. It can be soupy or not.
Last night she and I made some chicken long rice. I told her that this was Nanny's recipe. Nanny is my 94 year old grandmother.
Today I got a call from my mother. She never calls me at work.
"Nanny was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer yesterday. They are not doing surgery. She has six months to live."
What is the Universe saying?
