Pan fried in Olive oil this fish is crusted with ground almonds and parmesan cheese and is perfectly seasoned.... So yummy. Served with olive oil roasted vegetables and fresh herbs (Cauliflower, carrots, Broccoli). Feeds 2 adults Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo $8.00: Enjoy this delicious staple from the bayou. We start off by making a flavorful medium dark and rich roux, then adding all of the veggies and pork sausage. After a slow cook we toss in some white and dark chicken meat and voila. There you have it. Tender and juicy chicken with delicious sausage that is Cajun comfort food to the core. Simply heat and serve. Serves 2 and is best over rice (Rice not included). This is medium Spicy Sweet Sticky Spicy Chicken $9.00: A real flavor blast. We use the trifecta of ingredients for the sauce to coat these breaded chicken bites. Sweet(Brown Sugar), Sticky (Honey), and Spicy (Srirachi hot sauce) says it all with this dish. A touch of garlic and a hint of ginger really elevates this dish.. A wonderful assortment of stir fried red bell peppers and grilled pineapple next to a bed of Jasmine Coconut Rice and Black Rice (Forbidden Rice).Now with more rice, more chicken, and more sauce!! This is a Spicy Dish. Feeds 1- 2 Broccoli and Chicken Divan $8.00: A crowd pleaser. This wonderful casserole is full of flavor. Chicken cubes and broccoli make up this dish as it is layered with cheddar cheese a butter and parmesan cheese bread crumb topping, and a delicious gravy that is made up of white wine, sour cream, and mushroom soup (has condensed soup in it which contains a form of msg). Feeds 1 - 2 Chandler's Honey Chicken $9.00 : This Chinese favorite makes its way into our menu by way of Chandler. A delicious twist to this Chinese takeout classic. Honey Chicken is a mild Chicken dish that has been gently tossed in a sweet and tangy Honey Sauce. Coated with a corn starch slurry this batter makes this dish unique. Almost like a tempura batter. Paired with a delicious side of Chinese Fried Rice this dish is for 2 adults. (Contains an ingredient that has a trace amount of MSG in it. Also has a touch of sesame seed oil in the fried rice.) NOW WITH MORE CHICKEN AND MORE SAUCE!!!! Chicken Leek and Mushroom Casserole $9.00: Tender Chicken Thighs cooked in a white wine reduction sauce with crispy bacon, button mushrooms, and fresh leeks (Puerro). This comfort food simply takes the cake in flavor. Served with a generous portion of creamed mashed potatoes. Now with more mushrooms, bacon, leeks and chicken!! Feeds 2. (GF) Mexican Tortilla Soup $8.00: This Boquete favorite is a personal favorite as well! Spicy and rich this hearty tomato based Mexican soup has it all. Comes with fried crispy tortilla chips (for garnish) has loads of tender and succulent chicken meat, and tons of fresh veggies like tomatoes, onions, zucchini, black beans, corn, roasted red pepper, and more. Seasoned with chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin and more this well balanced soup is as authentic as it comes. Just like Abuelita used to make. All you have to do is add a dollop of sour cream with a pinch of cheddar cheese. A great soup that will not disappoint (V) Deluxe Creamy Mac & Cheese $7.00: Who doesn’t just love Mac and Cheese? This version is ultra creamy and super cheesy! We utilize many different types of cheeses to make this amazing comfort food. Cheddar, Mozzarella, Cremoso, and Parmesan just to name a few all come together for a rich and creamy experience that’s topped with a butter breadcrumb topping. Great as a side or as a stand-alone meal. Bake and enjoy. Feeds 2 (GF)Chinese Beef and Broccoli $8.00 (Now with less sodium): Enjoy this classic take out dish. Wonderful and tender beef tossed with blanched crisp broccoli and mixed with a tangy and spicy Chinese sauce. We changed our soy sauce brand and it made a wonderful difference in the saltiness of this dish. I also tweaked this recipe to add a delicate sweetness to balance out the spicy. It came out ridiculous. Great over noodles or over white jasmine rice. This dish will feed 2 adults. (Does not come with rice) This is a medium Spicy Dish Tex-Mex Pasta Casserole (New and Improved) $8.00: Enjoy a south of the border creation that blends flavors from the Lone Star State with spices from Latin America. Creamy black beans and corn popping with flavor as they are mixed with cheddar and all tossed in a ground beef and Mexican salsa mixture. Oregano, cumin and cilantro is then added to the mix as it is tossed with rotini pasta. Topped with cheddar cheese this is a real treat for 2 adults. Add some sour cream to top of this experience. Pasta Pizza Bake $8.00: Be adventurous. This deconstructed pizza has all the wonderful flavors that you've come to love from pizza. We use fresh basil and oregano in our pizza sauce and toss it with our very own Italian sausage and hamburger meat. We then create a layer of al dente cooked rotini pasta tossed in an Italian carbonera sauce. Next we layer the meat sauce over it and add nice layer of mozzarella cheese and finally topped with some pepperoni. A classic in its own right. So delicious and perfect for 2 Adults. Salad Cobb Salad $7: In the mood for a crisp and refreshing salad to start the week? This salad just takes the cake. Chicken, tomatoes, bacon, mozzarella, eggs, onions. A mix of 4 varieties of hydroponically grown lettuce and a house crafted original cob salad dressing… This is a fresh salad and will be good for a couple days in the refrigerator. This week the COBB has Mozzarella not Bleu Cheese Sides Cooked Jasmine Rice $1.00: Each bag has pre-cooked rice ready for you to warm up and serve with your dinner. Easy and no hassle Desserts Cranberry Scones $1: Baked just before the market these beautiful scones are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack on the go.

www.RodnyDirect.com Every expat needs Rodny's Helpline What my members say: The service Rodny Direct is a blessing for us... We know how well the service works when we called Rodny when a neighbor had a home invasion. Rodny eliminates all the nerves that get activated when you or your neighbor are in crisis. We speak Spanish well enough to get by on the phone....but on that day we were in a state of shock and so was the victim who is a Panamanian. None of us were in any condition to be making important calls. Rodny took over. He was efficient and as well followed up with calls to us to keep us posted on how the assistance was proceeding. We vote YES with a loud voice. - B & A in Brisas __________ Cindy Crawford Thomas - Rodny has saved us twice in our years here. He dealt with the police last year when we were robbed. There's is no way we knew enough Spanish, especially under stress, to handle this situation. The second time was a few months ago regarding a neighborhood problem. He knows the law, the correct people to contact and all was handled quickly and efficiently. Thank you Rodny Fabio Moreno Fuentes __________ From the Visatante, August 2014 - Helpline Operator is an Inspiration to All Note that since then, Neighbors Helping Neighbors has become the Panama Helpline. A short exceprt: "Jeff Scher owner/operator of Panama AV and a sponsor of NHN as well as a member of their board of directors said that he was “proud to know Rodny and very comfortable and extremely confident with his abilities and inspired by the service that he provides.” Betty Morin, the treasurer of NHN, said that Moreno “is a shining example of what people can do if they have a positive attitude. While we have other operators, what we’re trying to do would be much more difficult without the backbone of our operation.” _________ Ed and Sue Davis Potrerillos Arriba A few months ago, our water supply was suddenly and completely shut off... A quick call and, in a matter of hours, our water was restored. In Panama, that kind of positive and speedy outcome might be compared to a miracle. So grateful that Rodny knows how to make things happen! _______ Hi Rodney, We are so proud of you for the work that you do and thankful that you are able to provide such a valuable service. Even from those that you don't hear from, or those that have not yet subscribed, know that you are appreciated. Chao, Karen Walter
