begins making Christmas eggs. Hathaway removes her flowered wreath and sits in her Ukrainain costume chatting with the pediatrician and the scene ends. Cut. So why this long description of a soap opera TV episode? Well, it is proof of what I have been trying to argue for almost a decade -- we have come a long way, baby. Ukrainians are now exotic and hence, desirable. Sure, it would be nice to have people know that pysanky are connected to Easter and springtime, but this is the type of misinformation we can live with. If only ignorance about Ukraine and its colorful customs and complex people were limited to this ethnographic confusion. Christmas eggs or no Christmas eggs, the "EFT episode was a nice gift to the Ukrainian-American community. Of course, NBC had not thought, one way or another, about Ukrainian-American viewers. The lobby, if there is one, is not strong enough to really matter as far as ratings are concerned. But fifty million viewers who otherwise would not have heard the word Ukraine, connected it with a warm, human, colorful and loving scene. Think about it - fifty million. Two million less than the entire population of Ukraine. I suspect that many of us who do watch "ER" watch it because it creates an extended family or familiar environment which we can follow with no involvement or emotional cost, the complex but realistic lives of the various protagonists. I for one, enjoy "ER", and will now wait for some script writer to pick up on the rich potential of Nurse Hathaway reestablishing her roots. comer PASTA WITH SCALLOPS AND PEPPERS 2 large red bell peppers 1/3 cup olive oil 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 pound bay or sea scallops, cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley 3 tablespoons drained capers, finely chopped 1 pound linguine 1. Roast the peppers by broiling them or turning them fre quently over a gas flame until the skin is charred and blistered. Let them cool then strip off the skin. Remove the cores and seeds. Cut the peppers into narrow 1-inch strips. 2. In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the scallops, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the scallops are no longer translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley, capers and peppers. Cook for 1 minute more. 3. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine until firm yet tender to the bite. Drain and toss with the scallop mixture.
