On May 9-13, Warsaw Health and Rehab Center celebrated National Skilled Nursing Home Week by having many activities for residents and staff.

 

On Monday, the nursing home had donuts and a coffee bar for residents and staff. Then, on Tuesday, ice cream treats were served to residents and staff, and the residents had the opportunity to throw pies at employees' faces. On Wednesday, the nursing home had a barbecue and water balloon fight, in which residents threw water balloons at employees.

 

 

The American Legion has extended their hours as follows:  Monday thru Saturday from 11:00am to 8:00pm.  Hours are subject to change based on patronage.  

 

The Legion invites all Legion members and their guests to come in and enjoy some of the activities going on!   On the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, the Legion has the kitchen open from 11:00am-4:30pm for Taco Tuesday and a band. The band starts at 12/1:00 pm.  

 

 

In cooking, as in life, small things can make a big difference. One of my favorite simple salads is spinach with blue cheese, apple, red onion and pecans.  Giving any onions a short soak in ice water will remove some of the harsh bite. Toasting nuts brings out their flavor. I use a dry skillet to toast them, some prefer the oven. You can substitute a pear for the apple. And baby spinach works best.
