Feature of the Month
SHITAKE ALMOND RICE MEDLEY
by
Tomorrow Project
Helping Women Create Futures Today
Chef Michel Stroot specifically created this rice medley with the women of Rachel Center in mind. This is an excellent dish to accompany roast chicken, grilled fish, sautéed shrimp or sautéed tofu. Try it with steamed broccoli, spinach or asparagus.
The Tomorrow Project’s mission is to help women lift themselves out of poverty and develop a new sense of self-reliance, worth and hope. When you savor their delicious products envision the women washing & measuring the ingredients and spices and packaging the product. This is more than a job to her – it’s her stepping-stone to becoming self-reliant. Our product sales help move women to a brighter tomorrow.
The Tomorrow Project is located at 349 Cedar Street., San Diego or call 619-230-1151 for more information
Open Door also sells other Tomorrow Project products at their store located at 4761 Cass Street – corner of Cass and Missouri in Pacific Beach such as: soups, dips, and spice rubs.

Quotes
Books have been around for something over half a millennium and in those five hundred years or so, they have changed the world more deeply than any novelty before and most likely, ever since. The big question for the future is whether or not books will survive or end up forgotten like other treasures we have cast aside for new technology. I like to think that there will still be people who still like the feel of a book in their hands and turning each page with anticipation, will still cuddle up with classic on a rainy day, or stow away a hot romance novel in their beach bag, to be the first purchase made when going on vacation, and that your favorite children stories are passed down from generation to generation. - anonymous
“Tell me what you read and I shall tell you what your are” – anonymous proverb
“My library shelves are the avenues of time.” Archbishop of Poitiers, c. 1100
“The contents of someone’s bookcase are part of his history, like an ancestral portrait.”
- Anatole Broyard, in A Book Lover’s Diary; The Reader’s Companion by Shelagh Wallace(1996)
“What is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”
