If you’re planning to care for a person with

AIDS at home, you should contact your local

CLSC or a community AIDS organization to find

out what kind of home assistance and support

services are available in your area.

Most people with AIDS — men,

women and children — can continue

to lead an active life for a long time.

Usually, there is no need for them to

be hospitalized. In fact, a person

with an AIDS-related illness will

often recover more quickly at home,

with the loving support of friends

and relatives. Also, home care is

generally less stressful than hospi-

talization.

1 1/2 pounds Chicken Wings

3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon Dry Sherry

1 tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger Root

1 Clove Garlic, Minced

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

1/3 cup Cornstarch

2/3 cup Water

2 Green Onions And Tops, Cut Into Thin Slices

1 teaspoon Slivered Fresh Ginger Root

Disjoint the chicken wings; discard tips (or save for stock). Combine soy

sauce, sherry, minced ginger and garlic in a large bowl; stir in chicken.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken;

reserve marinade. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat

chicken pieces with cornstarch; add to skillet and brown slowly on all sides.

Remove chicken; drain off fat. Stir water and reserved marinade into same

skillet. Add chicken; sprinkle green onions and slivered ginger evenly over

chicken. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

6 eggs, beaten well

1 cup shredded cooked meat (roast pork, shrimp, almost any!)

2 cups fresh bean sprouts (or 1 can)

2 scallions, chopped, including the green ends

1 medium onion, shredded

1 teaspoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

1 teaspoon MSG (optional)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 cup chicken stock or water

Vegetable oil for frying

Make gravy if desired (recipe follows). Preheat oven to 200F. Line

a platter with several thicknesses of paper towel. Mix all ingredients

except the vegetable oil together in a mixing bowl.

Heat a frying pan hot and dry. Put in vegetable oil to a depth of

about 1/2 inch. Keep oil at this level by adding more, as some is

absorbed in cooking. Bring oil temperature to medium. Stir up the

omelet mixture each time before you take a scoopful of it out, in

order to have the proper ratio of liquid and solid ingredients in each.

With a ladle or soup scoop, take a scoop of the egg mixture and gently

put into the frying pan. When the first omelet has stiffened, gently

move it over to make room for the next. The number of omelets you

can make at once depends on the size of your frying pan. When one

side of the omelet has turned golden brown, turn over gently with

pancake turner to fry the other side. When done, transfer from

frying pan onto paper−lined platter. Keep warm in oven until all

the omelets can be served together. Serve with or without gravy.

Gravy:

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon MSG (optional)

1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil

slowly with frequent stirring. When gravy has thickened, turn heat

to very low to keep it warm until ready to use.

Many Americans are still suffering from high unemployment, with Black communities hit nearly twice as hard as the rest of the nation.^[1]

Thankfully, Congressmen Keith Ellison and George Miller have put forth a bill that would help turn things around. It's called the "Local Jobs for America Act," and it would create up to a million jobs in the areas that need it most.

Every member of Congress should be behind this bill, and we're asking that you help us get each representative on record in support. That's why I've joined my friends at ColorOfChange.org in asking my representative to support the Local Jobs for America Act. Will you join me? It'll only take a moment:

The economic crisis has hit Black folks especially hard -- the unemployment rate is almost twice as high among African-Americans as among Whites. The picture is especially bleak for Black men -- 19% are currently jobless.^[2]

Unless Congress does something big to create new jobs -- and soon -- the situation could just keep getting worse. Each wasted day means more lost jobs, more foreclosed homes, and more medical bankruptcies -- all of which will drag the economy down even further.

The Local Jobs for America Act (H.R.4812) would do a lot to help. The bill would allocate $75 billion for creating and saving 750,000 jobs, with the most funds going to economically depressed areas.^[3] It would allocate $25 billion to hire and retain teachers, police officers, and firefighters. Another $500 million would go to support on-the-job training programs.

Rep. Keith Ellison has challenged us all to convince enough of our representatives to support this bill that its passage will be guaranteed. It's a tall order, but Ellison has already gathered an amazing 139 cosponsors in just a few weeks. Now we must take advantage of that momentum.

Please join me in calling on Congress to support the Local Jobs for America Act, and ask your friends and family to do the same. It takes just a moment:

Thanks.
