 JW> Little Charlee was an RH baby but thanks to modern medicine is
 JW> perfectly healthy. Most non-Caucasians have a very low proportion
 JW> of Rhesus negatives so the incidence of Rh disease is very low.
 JW> She was the exception though. She and Raine are attending a
 JW> specialist in Edmonton this weekend for a follow-up checkup.
 
 GJ> As my memory is a little vague on the details of the treatment for the
 GJ> RH -ve condition (not really a disease), could you refresh it by
 GJ> detailing what treatment was done for the baby and/or mother?

 JW> Administering something called RhoGAM to the pregnant mother if it
 JW> is detected early. (It wasn't with Charlee; nobody knew until she
 JW> was born jaundiced.) Massive blood transfusions for the infant right
 JW> after birth otherwise.

OK, in other words, flushing out the "unnatural" elements of the baby's
blood which had been received from the mother.
 
 JW> have learned that she has one non-functioning kidney (it's just a
 JW> little inert flap of tissue) but that her second one is exceedingly
 JW> healthy. There is no concern for her health, although the second one
 JW> will probably be surgically removed when she is a little bit older.
 
 GJ> I trust it will be the _first_ one which you referred to, above, which
 GJ> will be removed!

 JW> But of course. Stupid me.

As Ruth could tell you, I love catching friends out like that!

 JW> And it turns out she need not undergo surgery; the non-functioning
 JW> kidney is perfectly benign in situ. We are all relieved by that.

Good.  Better to keep the knife wielders away if possible.

 JW> Another use for sesame oil:

 JW> Title: Peppercorn Crusted Flat Iron Steak Salad

How many people these days have used a "flat iron", or would even know
what it looks like?

 JW> 4    6 oz Flat iron steaks

 JW> Cracked Peppercorn Crusted Alberta Flat Iron Steak Salad with
 JW> Indonesian Cashew Sate Vinaigrette

 JW> Use fresh cracked pepper not ground pepper. Cracked pepper is a much
 JW> nicer crunchier texture and will stick properly to the meat

 JW> Flat Iron steaks are new on the scene and are becoming popular for
 JW> their tender texture and rich beefy flavour. One steak is
 JW> approximately 6oz and is a perfect portion for one. This recipe is
 JW> simple, fresh, fast and light and will feed 4.

So what, in fact, is a "flat iron steak"?  (Presumably part of a cow.)
A new Canuk invention?

      Title: Fantastic Beef & Broccoli
 Categories: Main dish, Beef, Chinese, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
    1/2 lb Boneless beef*
      1 lb Broccoli; chopped
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 sl Ginger; minced
      3 tb Peanut oil
    1/4 c  Water
      2 ts Sesame oil

MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
      1 tb Oyster sauce
      2 ts Rice wine
    1/2 ts Brown sugar
      2 ts Cornstarch

MMMMM----------------------SEASONING SAUCE---------------------------
      1 ts Cornstarch; dissolved in
      2 tb Water
      2 ts Rice wine
    1/2 ts Brown sugar
 
  *(Flank steak, top sirloin, or tenderloin), sliced across grain into
  thin slices. combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. combine all
  seasoning sauce ingredients in a cup. Thoroughly mix beef with
  marinade and marinate for 30 minutes.  Heat wok over highest heat,
  when hot, swirl in 2/3 of peanut oil. Add ginger and salt and toss a
  few seconds. Add broccoli and stirfry one minute, then add water,
  turn heat to med-high, cover, and steam until crisp tender. Uncover
  and turn heat to high, stir frying until water is evaporated. Remove
  broccoli and reserve. Reheat same wok (without rinsing) and, when
  hot, add remaining peanut oil. Add beef slices and stirfry until
  lightly browned but not cooked through. Do not stir fry too
  vigorously or meat will not brown, it is better to press slices
  against sides of wok to sear. Add broccoli to wok and toss. When hot,
  stir in seasoning sauce and stir until sauce thickens (it's a good
  idea to whisk the sauce in the cup just before you hurl it into the
  wok). Turn onto a platter and drizzle sesame oil over the top. The
  sugar in the marinade and seasoning sauce acts as a flavor enhancer
  rather than a sweetener.
