I would like to take this time to thank Bill McGurk for all the time and work he puts into the newsletter and the other things he does for the Delco RRC. Bill is the type of person that when he does something, he does it all out. I remember when he first started to run with the club, he would show up 1 hour before the run and do push ups, sit-ups and calisthenics.He has since run marathons, ultramarathons and a lot of his favorite trail races. His enthusiasm for running is infectious. Delco RRC is the club it is today because of people like Bill. This week, as some of you know, Bill will be going into the hospital to have an operation. It should be a 1 day (overnight) and out procedure. Bill, I want you to know that all of our thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.We need you out here, running and doing your trail runs at Swarthmore. I also learned that Dawn Patterson will also go into the hospital for an operation on her back. Dawn, all of our thoughts and prayers are with you, too. Editor's Note: Thanks Steve. Next, and I don't want to preach. I consider myself to be someone that takes very good care of themselves. I lift weights 4 to 5 days a week and run about the same. I eat healthy for the most part, don't smoke, but do have several drinks during the week. I've been diagnosed with prostate cancer and the surgery (today) is to have my prostate removed. The cancer was caught early and everything should be fine after the surgery. There are certain times in our lives when it is recommended by the medical community that we have medical checkups, I would recommend that everyone heed these recommendations. I may not be out for awhile as I'm told I can't run or lift more than 10 pounds for the next 4 weeks. I'll keep the emails coming. Happy running! |

Good Eats | |
Pan Roasted Cauliflower with Pine Nuts and Raisins
2 tablespoons raisins (not golden)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (4 cups)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups tomatoes-drained, peeled, seeded and chopped
Pinch of crushed red pepper, Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small bowl, cover the raisins with water; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the oil. Add the cauliflower and sugar and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until the cauliflower starts to soften, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate and cook until the cauliflower is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the tomatoes and crushed red pepper, season with salt and black pepper and cook until the tomatoes have begun to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the raisins to the cauliflower, along with 1/4 cup hot water, the pine nuts and chopped garlic. Transfer to the oven and bake the cauliflower for about 30 minutes, until it is very tender. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve the cauliflower warm.

| Book Club |
 The next Book Club meeting will be at 1:30 on February 20th at Cara's home. Contact Cara at caralyng24@aim.com.
The next book is What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn. 2008. 256 pages.
Stirring and beautifully crafted, this debut novel recounts how the repercussions of a girl's disappearance can last for decades. In 1984, Kate Meaney is a 10-year-old loner who solves imaginary mysteries and guesses the dark secrets of the shoppers she observes at the Green Oaks mall. Kate's unlikely circle includes her always-present stuffed monkey; 22-year-old Adrian, who works at the candy shop next door; and Kate's classmate, Teresa Stanton, who hides her intelligence behind disruptive behavior. Kate's grandmother has plans for Kate: send her to boarding school. But Kate doesn't want to go. Fast forward to 2003, where it's revealed through Lisa, Adrian's sister, that Kate disappeared nearly 20 years ago, and Adrian, blamed in her disappearance, also vanished. Lisa works at a record store in Green Oaks and is drawn to Kurt, a security guard whose surveillance-camera sightings of a little girl clutching a stuffed monkey hint that he might have ties to Kate's disappearance. Teresa, meanwhile, now a detective, has her own reasons for being haunted by Kate's disappearance. Gripping to the end, the book is both a chilling mystery and a poignant examination of the effects of loss and loneliness.
All Club members are welcome to take part. Email me at info@delcorrc.com if you have any questions.
