Cheesy Potatoes

1 pkg. frozen hash browns (the kind with the onions and peppers in already)
1 16 oz container of sour cream
1 pkg. cream cheese
1/3 of a 32 oz pkg. of Velveeta
2 cups of shredded cheese (any kind you like – even mix and match – I use the pre-shredded Mexican blend from the grocery)
2 cups finely chopped celery
2 cups crushed Special K cereal

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Thaw the hash browns just enough that you can break up the big frozen chunks so that they can mix with other ingredients. (They do not need to be fully thawed.) In a large bowl, mix the hash browns and sour cream. Add in the cream cheese and Velveeta by breaking them up into small cubes, and then stirring into the mixture. Add in the celery and shredded cheese. In a 13 in. x 9 in. pan, spread out the mixture evenly. Take the crushed up cereal and spread over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

This recipe is fattening, but always a hit at potluck dinners and very kid friendly.

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid.

Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for...

Some good news about Pirfenidone

Below is a press release from Intermune, the company that makes Pirfenidone. They have essentially reviewed the various clinical trials going on, and decided that Pirfenidone is safe and well tolerated. That would pretty much go along with what we've observed in the HPS community as well. We have a few folks that have been on the drug since the late 90s and continue to do well. Of course, as a journalist, I do have to say consider the source - but at the same time, as someone in a Pirfenidone trial, it's good to know. Results of Comprehensive Safety Analysis of pirfenidone In IPF Patients Presented At European Respiratory Meeting - Analysis shows safety and tolerability of pirfenidone across four clinical trials - VIENNA, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InterMune, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITMN ) today announced that the results of a comprehensive review of safety data from four clinical studies were presented at the 2009 European Respiratory Society Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria...

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.
