Women for Women International is a fantastic not-for-profit started by Iraqi-American Zainab Salbi, assisting women victims of war in healing from trauma, recovering their self-esteem and beginning new lives with the help of literacy training, business skills courses, micro loans--whatever it is the women need to begin new lives filled with hope and promise.
It was a really nice afternoon of getting to know Cathy, her family and her guests, as well as a nice opportunity to learn more about a worthy cause and perhaps make a donation, which I don't think anyone left without doing since we found out our donations would be matched dollar for dollar through mid-November. Women for Women International offers those of us whose lives have not been touched directly by war the unique opportunity to reach out to victimized women in various countries through our caring and our contributions.
Thank you, Cathy, for welcoming us into your home and giving us the chance to help other women make better lives for themselves. Since this was a buffet, we were invited to contribute sandwich spreads and condiments, so I brought along a bowl of my Amish curried egg salad. In the spirit of women sharing our resources with one another, here's the recipe for you to enjoy.
Amish Curried Egg Salad
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 Tbsp. spicy mustard
1 tsp. beau monde or celery salt
curry powder to taste
mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. chopped pickles
1 Tbsp. chopped green onions
1 rib of celery, diced
Mash up the eggs and mix in the mustard, beau monde or celery salt, and enough mayonnaise to get a nice, creamy consistency. Sprinkle in and mix curry powder to taste. (We like it spicy, so I add about 1 Tbsp.) Mix in chopped pickles, green onions and celery. Makes enough egg salad for 3-4 hearty sandwiches.
