(Drunken Chicken)
This is a traditional dish of Beijing, for which
they are quite famous. It is usually served as
the first course of a banquet, but also makes a
nice lunch or dinner entree for warm weather.
Adapted from "The Chinese Way: Healthy Low-Fat
Cooking From China's Regions."
2 (1 lb) chicken breasts, with skin and
bones intact (2 pounds)
6 cups cold water
2 scallions, trimmed & cut in half
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, cut into 3"
pieces (leaves and stems)
2 small onions, cut in quarters
1" ginger root (readily
available in Produce Dept.),
lightly smashed
Wine Sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons sherry wine
white pepper, to taste
Place first seven ingredients in a large pot.
Cover & bring to a boil over high heat. Lower
heat to simmer, leave lid partially open, and
simmer for 20 minutes. (Halfway through, at 10
minutes, turn chicken over.)
Turn heat off, cover pot again & allow chicken
to rest in liquid for 15 additional minutes.
Combine the wine sauce ingredients with 1/4 cup
poaching liquid from the previous step. Reserve.
Remove chicken from pot & allow to cool.
Remove skin & bones & slice into 1" x 2" pieces.
Place in a serving dish. Stir wine sauce and
pour over chicken. Allow chicken to marinate for
one hour, refrigerated, covered with plastic
wrap. Serve cool.

Deadly Illness Plaguing Horses
A rare and deadly disease has sickened
at least a dozen horses in the St. Louis
area this summer, veterinarians said
Monday.
The outbreak of Potomac horse fever
could be a result of the season's extra
rain and flooding, said Dr. Philip
Johnson, a veterinarian who specializes
in equine medicine at the University of
Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine
in Columbia.
Johnson has treated six horses for the
fever, and knows of 12 other cases on
both sides of the Mississippi River near
St. Louis. Half of the horses Johnson
treated later died from complications of
the disease, he said.
Dr. Stuart Robson of Fox Creek
Veterinary Hospital in Wildwood said his
clinic usually sees one case of Potomac
horse fever every couple of years. In
just the past several weeks, he has seen
four or five cases, he said.
"Although we don't see a lot of cases,
the cases that we do see it's just a
horrible disease," Robson said.
Potomac horse fever is an intestinal
illness caused by a bacteria found in
some snails, birds, bats and flies.
Horses can develop the illness after
unintentionally ingesting infected
flies, snails or larvae that end up in
the horses' water supply.
The illness starts with a fever,
lethargy and lack of appetite.
"When they get infected, the horse
develops a fever, they're getting
depressive and dopey and go off their
feed and look sad," Johnson said.
Sickened horses can develop severe
diarrhea. Other complications include
laminitis (a hoof infection), colic and
blood poisoning.
Because of the outbreak, Robson
recommends horses in the area get the
vaccine for Potomac horse fever every
three months. Typically, horses get the
vaccine once every spring.
The disease is not contagious from
horse to horse or to other animals or
humans, and horses can recover quickly
after being treated immediately with a
specific antibiotic, Robson said.
"You have to be very aggressive,"
Robson said. "If your horse has a fever,
treatment needs to be started right
away."

Handy Horse Hints:
* Keep a halter and lead rope handy in the
feed shed close to where the horses are
kept, just in case you have an escapee and
need to capture them quickly (also nothing
like a scoop of grain to get the attention
of an escaped horse).
* Speaking of escapees, keep an extra lead
rope in the car in the event that you come
across someone else's escaped horse.
* Have a horse that likes to stomp in the
water troughs? Lift them up on cement
blocks - it brings them up high enough as to
not allow legs in them. What about a small
(35 gallon) rubber trough for their own
personal puddling pool?
* Keep one vegetable crisper in the
refrigerator dedicated for animal care,
which includes a handy tube of Banamine and
Bute.
* Electrical tape and heavy chains
- keep handy for fence repair. Electrical
tape can repair an electric fence and it
also works good for broken clips - chains
and metal clips for binding fence panels
together.
* T-post caps and Duct tape (ahh, duct
tape!). Wonderful for covering bolts or
other things that may poke out and cause
injury. Cover with the cap and wrap it with
layers of duct tape.
* For obvious reasons and we all should know
this and I'm sure we do, but limiting the
pasture to only a couple of hours in the
day, saves the pasture and saves the horse
from foundering.
* Keep a first-aid bucket in the feed shed
handy, which includes a clean small rubber
tub, poultice, cotton wrap, leg wrap,
betadine, scissors, gauze, aloe cream and a
whole host of other things that may be
needed for an injury. Also keep the hoof
pick handy, one in truck, feeding shed and
in house.
