Proverbs 3:5

Vol. 3 No. 1 www.threerivernews

By Cheryl Conway

Personally affected by cancer either as victims or

through loved ones, members of Theater DanceCenter of Flanders will host a fundraiser this month

to help find a cure.

Theater Dance Center invites the public to its perform-

ance - TDC Shooting Stars Dance For a Cure-on Sunday,

Jan. 30, at 5 p. m. at the Mt. Olive Middle School. Tickets

are $5, and all proceeds will go to Stand Up To Cancer

(SUTC), a program of the Entertainment Industry

Foundation.

Any amount of money raised for this cause will make a

Theater Dance Hosts Dance For A Curedifference in the lives of others who may someday be diag-

nosed with cancer or have a relative fighting against the dis-

ease.We have a bunch of young girls at our studio that dance

and who could face breast cancer someday, says Millene

Michel, co-owner and artistic director of Theater Dance

Center. Michel co-owns the studio with Mary Ellen Volz,

who also serves as business director of the center.

Hopefully any money raised from this school will make a

difference.

Facing the disease is all too familiar for members of

TDC. Michel, 48, of Flanders, recently had a double mas-

tectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in

October. Detection of a lump in her milk duct went unno-

ticed during her annual mammography in April. It was dur-

ing her annual physical in September when her primary

doctor conducted a breast exam and found a lump deep in

her breast.

When Michel returned for a second mammography and

ultrasound in October, the radiologist questioned Michels

diagnosis by her physician, especially when nothing

showed up. There was a change in the breast tissue, howev-

er, so Michel went for a biopsy which came back positive

for Stage II Ductal Carcinoma in situ (or DCIS), the most

common type of noninvasive breast cancer in women. With

DCIS, the cancer cells are found in the breasts milk ducts.Since Michels cancer had spread into breast tissue of

one of her breasts, she opted for a double mastectomy

which she underwent on Dec. 14 at Overlook Hospital in

Summit, followed by immediate reconstructive surgery.

Michel will be in recovery for at least a year, needs addi-

tional reconstructive surgery, and may have to undergo

chemotherapy or hormonal therapy based on test results of

her breast tissue.

As a survivor, Michel is pleased with the advancement in

cancer treatments and is hopeful for the future.

My story is common, says Michel. The technology to

Her childhood friend died in September from bone can-

cer. A father of one of her dance students is a three-time

survivor and is still fighting. The head ballet teacher at the

center survived breast cancer after she had a mastectomy

and chemotherapy two years ago. In addition, she and Volz

both lost their fathers to prostate cancer.

Its close to us; we really wanted to have more of an

impact, explains Michel. The kids really want to do

something and make a difference.

Another one of Michels students, Rachel Thrun, has

also been touched by the disease after her mother- Julie

Ashton of Flanders- was diagnosed with breast cancer in

late September. Ashton underwent a double mastectomy inthe fall.

Thrun, a junior at Mt. Olive High school who has been

attending Theater Dance Center since she was three years

old, is the student leader for the Stand Up To Cancer

fundraiser.

Theres been a lot of personal connections, says

Thrun. Being touched personally and having dance teach-

ers touched as well, its good to inspire others and do it by

something that we love and that is to perform. While danc-

ing, and doing what they love most, they will give back as

well, she says.Thruns hope is finding a cure; to help scientists and

studies be found.

TDC collected close to $500 last year for breast cancer

through its fall clothing drive. This year, the centers goal is

to raise $10,000 through monies raised from the perform-

ance as well as another clothing drive in the spring.

All proceeds raised from the dance performance will go

to SUTC, an organization created to accelerate ground-

breaking cancer research that will get new therapies to

patients quickly and save lives.

SUTCs purpose is to enable cutting-edge research to

find a cure to all types of cancer such as breast, prostate,

treat what I have is really

advanced. I think from all of

the fundraising theres a lot

of improvement. My hope is

the money we raise will

help the students in my

class, that there will be a

vaccine or something.

Michel is all too familiar

with the disease, not only by

her personal battle but

through people in her life

facing similar experiences. continued on page 4

pared in various ways so that Tuesdayspreparation may be quite different fromSaturdays creation.

On that evening, my friend chose theCoconut Bay Breeze Sponge Cake, a newoffering of moist cranberry sponge cakewith a delicious pineapple filling and awhite butter cream icing with toastedcoconut. I generously offered to help him bytaking several bites. Personally, I think thisitem should be a standard offering on themenu.

My dessert choice was the GrandMarnier Chocolate Sponge Cake withChocolate Icing and Shaved WhiteChocolate. Perhaps only those over 21should be permitted to enjoy this supremelydecadent dessert. Wow!

Although my companion was happywith the ice water in stemmed glasses, Iordered a diet soda, admittedly my weak-ness. Our server brought a basket contain-ing a small loaf of warm bread along with adish of whipped butter.

Following the suggestion of our hosts,we chose the Stuffed Zucchini Ribbons andthe Shrimp Spedini for our appetizers. Thefirst was slices of zucchini rolled around asuperbly moist, creamy stuffing of spinach,roasted peppers, oyster mushrooms, andParmesan cheese, topped with a tangylemon garlic sauce.

The Shrimp Spedini was a shrimpmousse with fresh mozzarella and spinach,served with two plump shrimp standingguard at the sides. This creation was toppedwith fresh tomatoes, roasted peppers, garlic,

capers, and a savory lemon demi glace.The salads were a delightful surprise.The Prickly Pear Salad was a bibb lettuce,with shaved fennel, Roquefort cheese,toasted walnuts, and Prickly PearVinaigrette, a light dressing that is mildlysweet and slightly fruity, an excellentchoice.

The Arugula Salad contained ripe straw-berries, sweet candied pecans, and a verycreamy, delicious crumbled goat cheese.This was all topped with an absolute must-try champagne vinaigrette.

For our entrees, my friend had ordered

the Grilled Skirt Steak, which our host sug-gested he substitute with a fillet mignon.

The meat was extraordinarily tender andjuicy, just as a good fillet should be. Itsaccompaniments included a magnificentpotato dish called Tuscan Bacon BleuCaramelized Corn Potatoes. Chef Andeswas kind enough to share his preparation

secret. The potatoes were baked, thenmashed and fried with corn, bacon bits, andbleu cheese. The other accompaniment washaricot verts, which is a French green bean,longer, thinner, and more tender than mostAmerican varieties.

I ordered the Wild Mushroom ChickenBreast, a tender chicken breast with asuperb spinach and mushroom stuffing. Itwas accompanied by chive mashed pota-toes, grilled baby asparagus, and severallarge plump shrimp. A savory light demiglace completed the dish.

Since everything was so delicious, andwe were still hoping to sample somethingfrom the impressive dessert menu, it waswith sincere regret that my friend and Iasked our server to kindly package up theremains of our entrees for later.

The dessert menu was, indeed, impres-sive. All of the Prickly Pears desserts arehomemade on premises, and with standardslike Chocolate Ganache Cake and CarrotCake as well as newer offerings such asBlueberry Short Cake and Key Lime Pie,the choices were extensive. Our serverexplained that many of the items, like the

cheesecake and the bread pudding, are pre-

then the shaved sirloin on top withcaramelized onions. Its actually an appetiz-er on the menu he notes. At least a ver-sion of it.

Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, an early19th century French lawyer, magistrate,

politician, and author of 'Physiologie dugout' (The Physiology of Taste), said, "Thediscovery of a new dish does more for thehappiness of the human race than the dis-covery of a star." That insight certainlyrings true today in a society where innova-tion and creativity are so valued, and diningis such an important part of our culture.

Dining at the Prickly Pear is always aunique experience. Their menu is updatedtwice annually, with dishes added orremoved according to whats fresh for theseason.

There are some classics, says Linda,that stay on, that have been on since weopened.

Because freshness is important at thePrickly Pear, some popular menu items areincluded according to availability. We havefish delivered every day of the week,Linda points out. Sushi lovers really enjoyour rare tuna. Its sushi-grade tuna.

An exceptional dining experience at thePrickly Pear is important to both Chef Joeand his wife. They offer menu items that areboth enticing and inspired. Yet they respectthe individual preferences of their patrons.

We have a couple of vegetarian dishes,explains Linda. Hes (Chef Joe) always

willing to accommodate anyones dietaryneeds. Hell make anything as long as hehas the ingredients here.

The Prickly Pear is different from othereateries in other ways as well. For a trulyunique evening out, the Prickly Pear offers

classes culminating in a four-course dinnerthat includes an appetizer, salad, entre, anddessert. Chef Joe prepares everything. Heshow them how to prepare it and then heserves it, explains Linda. He sets up rightin the dining room. Once he demonstratesthat course, its served.

Patrons bring their own wine, and class-es are quite popular. Linda notes, Wevehad couples come to do it. Weve hadgroups. We limit it to about forty people.

The Prix-Fixe Lunches are also a dis-tinctive part of the menu. Its been verypopular, says Linda. Its three courses, asoup or salad, lunch selection, and a dessertfor $12.95. Lunch selections include menuclassics like Buffalo Chicken Pannini,Garlic Pepper Seared Rare Tuna Wrap, andChicken Caesar Wrap. Dessert choicesinclude items like Chocolate MascarponeMousse.

On a recent visit, I discovered for myselfwhat dining pleasures are waiting to be dis-covered here. I brought a friend and wewere seated at a white linen-covered table.The dcor was elegant, yet understated, thelighting and soft music enhancing the

serene atmosphere.

Eating, said Italian designer ElsaSchiaparelli, is not merely amaterial pleasure. Eating well

gives a spectacular joy to life and con-tributes immensely to goodwill and happycompanionship. It is of great importance tothe morale."

Does eating well have to require interna-tional travel or even a trip into Manhattan?Happily, it does not. In the very heart ofHackettstown, one can discover the excep-tional cuisine of the Prickly PearRestaurant. Owners Linda and Joe Andesopened in September of 2006, and havebeen tempting palates ever since. Over theyears, Joe Andes, a 25-year veteran chef,has catered for numerous celebrities includ-ing Billy Joel and Larry Holmes.

Marcel Boulestin, chef, FrenchRestaurateur, and author, said, "Cookery isnot chemistry. It is an art. It requires instinctand taste

rather than exact measurements." Thetalent Andes possesses in the kitchen has

earned him a reputation among loyalpatrons.

Ive traveled throughout the world,says Joe Seitz, a Prickly Pear regular. Whathe does here is amazing. He reminds me ofa European mom-and-pop restaurant, a fam-ily place. The food here is amazing. Thekitchen, he adds, is spotless. Thats how Ijudge a place.

The creations of Chef Andes have gar-nered awards such as the Peoples ChoiceAward for last years Art of Chocolate ben-efit in Randolph.

I took coconut, the chef explains of hischocolate sushi creation, with green foodcoloring to look like wakami (a seaweedsalad). I laid out chocolate and tempered ita little bit to make it pliable, and I did asweet sticky rice in there.

Wife Linda notes an additional awardfor their salad. It was arugula, strawber-ries, pinola nuts, and Prickly Pear vinai-grette, drizzled with white chocolate.

At last years Battle of the Chefs inChester, Andes received another honor. Hisaward-winning sirloin was, explains ChefAndes, a sirloin crostini, a little crostini

toast with roasted garlic cream cheese, and
