Walk-MS

One million people in the United States live with Multiple Sclerosis, but people are living full, productive lives, and significant progress is being made in treating the disease. We talk with two of those people, Cindi Pietroski, of Princess Anne; and Arlene Gordon, of Millsboro, and learn about four upcoming MS Walks on Delmarva.

You probably know that insurance pays for damage of your car or your home in the event of a fire, natural disaster or, in the case of your vehicle, an accident. What happens if someone visiting your home or walking outside of your home gets hurt, or if someone riding in your car is injured in an accident. That’s where personal liability insurance, or PULP comes into play. Billy Reese, a State Farm Agent with The Reese Agency in Dover talks about why having PULP is important.

It’s Most Wanted Monday. Lt. Tim Robinson with the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office brings a list of five people wanted by local police. He also explains how providing information to police that leads to the arrest of a fugitive could net you some cash.

Five years ago, Craig Terrell, Jr. performed “The Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera ahead of a performance put on by students at Salisbury Christian School.

We’re having some Easter fun today in the Kirby and Holloway Kitchen. Chef Steve Konopelski from Turnbridge Point in Denton shows us how to make edible Easter crafts.

Coconut Macaroon

 

¼ Cup (50g) liquid egg whites

¼ Cup plus 2 Tbsp (75g) granulated sugar

1 ½ Cup (150g) flaked sweetened coconut

Dash vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

 

Stir sugar and egg whites together until combined and sugar has begun to dissolve. Add vanilla and salt. Stir to combine. Stir in the coconut just until moistened.

 

Scoop batter using a cookie scoop or spoonfuls and place on a silicone mat lined baking pan.   Bake macaroons in preheated 300°F oven until lightly golden brown.

 

Allow to cool completely before removing from pan. Bottoms may be dipped in melted chocolate.

 

To make macaroon nest, make a thumb print in the center of the scooped cookie prior to baking.   Once cooled, fill the cavity with melted chocolate and place 3 chocolate eggs or candy of choice inside the nest, allowing the chocolate to firm up.
