Recipe -- Alicia's Deadline Delivery

We are deep in the Wednesday Night deadline for the rough draft of the paper - and have just been rescued by daughter-in-law, Alicia who sent the Man Child, Trevor with a complete, hot soup diner. Amid a side of carbs. A lovely soft, French bread with real-life butter. We also may have had a side of left-over lunch from The Grid. Which means, the best Artichoke Jalapeño dip in all the land. Veggies instead of the bread. Dang it, but still. You will love this soup like we did. It brought us back to life.

 

Alicia's Deadline Dinner

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can with juice Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 can rinsed black beans
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 carrots diced
  • 3 zucchini diced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Brown sausage, add onion, carrots, garlic, celery, Cook 5 minutes on medium heat, add everything but spinach and cook on medium heat for 45 minutes or until tender. Add spinach and cook 15 more minutes. Serve.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
