O'Connor Law

Patti Dmytrow has been with Michael J. O'Connor & Associates since November of 2007. She not only is the full-time receptionist here, but she keeps everyone in the office appeased by bringing in treats. She graciously bakes a cake for everyone's birthday! This is one of the reasons why the spotlight is now on Patti.

Patti was born and raised in Pottsville, PA. She attended Nativity BVM High School in Pottsville, class of 1982, and then went on to Chabot College in Hayward, CA where she studied accounting. Patti then decided to attend Health Options Institute in Bethlehem to become a certified massage therapist. She lived in California and Washington states for a few years in that time.

She enjoys reading, gardening, and traveling to learn about other cultures. Patti loves a challenge and likes to learn how to do things for herself, like learning to fix things around the house. She is a big fan of NASCAR and the Seattle Seahawks. She loves spending time with friends and family, and her adopted dog Douglas. She rescued Douglas 2 1/2 years ago when her owners wanted to put her to sleep due to her diabetes. And of course, she loves cooking and baking, especially for her beloved coworkers.

Patti is truly a jack of all trades as she has worked in retail, child care, animal care, as a corporate travel agent, and a waitress. Along with working at Michael J. O'Connor & Associates now, she is a massage therapist at Studio 16 in Pottsville. She now provides this office with her valuable services and is truly an asset here.

Our resident chef has graciously agreed to share one of her recipes for the general public's use and pleasure. It is an enormously popular dish of hers that she says is ideal for summer picnics as it contains no mayonnaise. Without further ado, here is Patti Dmytrow's recipe for Ramen Noodle Salad:

Ramen Noodle Salad

1 bag Cole Slaw mix
3 packages Ramen Noodles broken
1 small onion finely chopped

Mix in a large bowl

2/3 cup olive oil extra virgin
3/4 cup white vineager
1/2 cup sugar
3 season packets from the Ramen noodles
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix together and pour over the cole slaw mixture

1/2 cup almonds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds

On a sprayed cookie sheet broil for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Cool and add to salad.

Refrigerate for about 1 hour and serve.
