Helping an HPS'er get her business off the ground

I got the following e-mail this morning from a good HPS friend, Nancy. Nancy and her husband owned a wine shop for a while with another couple. She's a wine lover! I'm posting this to support her efforts. I know at least one wine lover that reads this site. Grin!

From Nancy:
I have some exciting news to share with you! I’m back in the wine biz as a Wine Consultant for WineShop At Home. We offer wine tastings in the comfort of your home, monthly wine club, great stemware, personalized wine labels, and gifts. Dave and I have already sampled several of the wines and we are impressed! We’ve also tested the stemware against our Reidel and it definitely compares, at half the price!

I invite you to visit my website at
http://www.wineshopathome.com/nancylee to learn more about the products and services I have to offer. While you’re there, sign up for my free monthly e-newsletter, The VinNote, that features wine lifestyle articles, product previews, and wine education.

I welcome the opportunity to conduct a wine tasting in your home. It’s a fun way to spend time with friends to celebrate a birthday, girls night out, etc. Everyone loves wine and learning all about it, so you can’t go wrong!

Some of you are not in close proximity to me but I’m sending you this information because I want you to think about me when you’re sending gifts to your friends, family, and business associates. We ship to many states and more are being added as we “speak.” For a list of states that we currently ship to, click here:

I look forward to hearing from you and to being your personal Wine Consultant! Please let me know how I can be of service. I thank you in advance for helping me make my business a success!

Cheers!
Nancy Lee

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. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. 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.

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.

Some good news about Pirfenidone

Below is a press release from Intermune, the company that makes Pirfenidone.

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.
