Behold, N The Bagel

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ew Yorkers routinely puff out their chests with pride when it comes to bagels—and for anyone who has dared to eat dough-with-ahole outside of New York City or Long Island, the reasons for this pride are apparent.

Bagels from New York’s five boroughs and Long Island’s two counties are a culinary work of art—a soft, yet firm, shiny exterior gives way to a chewy, not-too-gooey, doughy interior. It’s a marvel of science and pure alchemy, especially when compared to bagelby-name-only offerings from other states. There is nothing more demoralizing than a bagel from New Jersey; nothing more regrettable than a bagel from Florida; nothing more pointless than a bagel from California.

At some point in recent history, a theory began circulating that the key to New York’s bagel prowess is the water. Or, more specifically, “soft” water from the Catskills that is used in the baking process. New York City has exceedingly soft water, meaning it has low concentrations of calcium and magnesium.

This leads some to believe that the unique water makes for a more tender and chewier bagel texture.

But this doesn’t explain Long Island bagels, which are just as good, if not better, than its city counterparts.

Long Island does not get its water from the Catskills, so there must be

3A

a commonality between the two region’s bagels.

And there is: boil before baking.

After the bagels are hand-formed and proofed in a refrigerator for a couple of days, all truly great bagels are poached or boiled in a solution of water and malt barley for 30 seconds to 3 minutes before baking. The boiling locks liquids inside and expands the interior, producing a chewier bagel. Go to any of the island’s top bagel stores and I guarantee that they use the traditional boil-before-baking technique.

One of those master bagel producers is A&S Bagels at 761 Hempstead Tpke. in Franklin Square (516-3269288, www.aandsbagels.com). In 2016, the bagel shop was listed among the 20 best bagelrys in the country

by MSN.com, a national accolade it earned by making its bagels following the New York tradition of kettle-boiling prior to baking. And aside from serving the public 24-hours a day, seven days a week, A&S also has wholesale and commercial clients, meaning if you’ve eaten an amazing bagel at a random convenience store, you can probably thank A&S. All of the bagel greatest hits are at A&S, including plain, everything, poppy, sesame, garlic, onion and salted—with a few more unique variations like jalapeño, French toast and cheddar cheese topped. They also offer the classic bacon, egg and cheese on any of their exquisite bagels, while also churning out their own cream cheese concoctions like veggie, lox and cinnamon raisin walnut. And beyond standard bagels, A&S offers flagels (flat bagels) and bialys, which is a bagel without the hole and no pre-bake boil.

So the next time your family from Jersey comes for a visit, show them a real bagel at A&S or the dozens of other truly divine bagel shops on the Island—just make sure it’s a shop that boils prior to baking.

nly a sociopath would smear scallion cream cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel.

With this truism in mind, it is time to explore the perfect pairings for bagels. From cream cheese to butter to something else entirely, every bagel has a preferred flavor mate.

Egg Bagel

Plain Bagel

Pure texture and chew factor, the plain bagel is the gold standard of bagel stores. For this reason, a simple schmear of plain cream cheese or butter is the best way to go.

Sesame Bagel

The oft-forgotten bagel is reminiscent of a chewy pretzel, with a sharp-saltiness that adds zing to any topping—but go the extreme route and add a smoky whitefish salad spread for an oceanic spray.

Salt Bagel

Everything Bagel

The good thing about everything bagels is that they literally taste great with everything. The loaded bagel adds bite to plain cream cheese or butter, but it is also sturdy enough to stand up to strong schmears like whitefish or lox spread. But perhaps the greatest addition to the everything is the classic breakfast combo of bacon, egg and cheese.

EE A AT TS S

LL A UA Q QU

IT

For anyone who thinks a plain bagel is too plain, the egg bagel comes in with its yellow hue and an extra richness that is only elevated when it is cut with the garden bouquet of veggie cream cheese.

Cinnamon Raisin Bagel

There are few more satisfying bites than a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with butter that sits in that perfect temperature between solid and melted.

Kick up the sweetness with walnut raisin cream cheese spread.

RE O

FO R

The nutty crunch of sesame seeds marries particularly well with the sweet smoothness of strawberry cream cheese. Scallion cream cheese also adds character to sesame bagels.

ST E

The seeds that seem to pop in your mouth compliment a bagel with “the works,” lox, capers, onion and plain cream cheese. On the sweet side, the combination of strawberry jelly and plain cream cheese fits finely with the mild earthiness of the seeds.

Grant Allows LIU Post To Preserve History

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

LIU Post’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science was awarded a $1 million grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation to expand an important project to both preserve Long Island’s history and make it more accessible.

The grant comes on the heels of an initial $500,000 grant from the foundation in 2016 to launch the Digitizing Long Island History project.

The project has received a far greater response than anticipated from historical societies, both in terms of the number of participants and volume of material. Under the initial grant, the Palmer School is partnering with 28 historical societies. The additional $1 million grant will expand the project to 80 historical societies over four years.

“We are proud to expand the successful partnership between the nationally-recognized Palmer School and the Robert David Lion Gardner Foundation to help protect our region’s rich history,” said LIU president Dr. Kimberly R. Cline. “This project to preserve vital historical documents and make them accessible will have a lasting impact on our region, now and for future generations.”

The following historical societies are taking part in the program this semester—Freeport Historical Society Museum, Southold Historical Society, Historical Society of the Massapequas, Stirling Historical Society of Greenport, Sagtikos Manor Historical Society, Museum of the Village of Rockville Centre and the Three Village Historical Society.

The Palmer School works with the historical societies to do some work on location and other work at LIU Post. Fragile, oversized and bound items are brought to the Palmer School’s Lab for scanning on a large, DT Atom tabletop digitization platform. The school also has two portable digitization units that students are able to take to the historical societies for the other material.

The Palmer School is a national leader in library science and one of just 62 schools accredited by the American Library Association. It offers the only PhD program in Information Studies in the New York metropolitan area and is the only library sciences school in our region to be admitted into membership in the prestigious iSchools Consortium.

The project is led by Dr. Gregory Hunter, Professor of Library and Information Science, who heads the doctoral program at the Palmer School.

Hunter is a nationally-recognized expert who was a key member of the team that designed and implemented the Electronic Records Archives for the National Archives and Records Administration.

A certified archivist and a certified records manager, Hunter is the editor of the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field, The American Archivist, and his award-winning book is the standard text in the field.

“The Gardiner Foundation’s grant will allow us to preserve Long Island’s history and ensure that the next generation of archival professionals has the skills to preserve history in the digital age,” said Hunter. “This continues the important work of the Palmer School, which is our region’s leading

The grant includes significant scholarship support for masters and PhD students at the Palmer School, in addition to opportunities for long-term fieldwork placement that benefit both the historical societies and Palmer School students.

“Due to the overwhelming response and success of this project, we are pleased to be able to award this new grant to expand our partnership with the Palmer School,” said Kathryn M. Curran, executive director of the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation. “The Robert David Lion Gardiner

Foundation’s mission is to promote our regional history. The artifacts and archives of historical societies are untapped treasure troves for researchers and scholars. It is our hope that this award will make these collections available as vital part of local historic study. The Palmer School is our region’s leading institution to offer the expertise and resources to accomplish this goal.”

The funding will also allow for an annual Gardiner Symposium to begin next year, which will showcase progress and feature historical documents.

THEATER REVIEW

Caribbean Flavored Revival Charms Audiences

magine The Little Mermaid, with some Romeo and Juliet thrown in, set on a fictitious island not unlike Haiti in the French Antilles, and you’ll begin to envision Once on This Island, a captivating new Broadway revival with a compelling ensemble cast. Written

by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the duo behind Ragtime, Seussical, Rocky the Musical and Anastasia, both the animated film and Broadway show, the folk tale come to life pulls you in from the very start.

Fluidly slipping from the past to the present and back again, Once on This Island follows an orphaned girl, Ti Moune, on her journey from her peasant village to the grand Hotel Beauxhomme, where the upper-class boy she loves resides.

Ti Moune prays to four gods—Erzulie, the goddess of love, Agwé, the god of water, Asaka, mother of the Earth, and Papa Ge, the demon of death—for guidance and strength, never once doubting that she is meant to marry Daniel and break

down the barriers between their worlds.

Newcomer Hailey Kilgore is electric as Ti Moune, conveying an innocence of spirit, naivety at times and the stubbornness that comes along with being in love.

Alex Newell, known best for his role as the transgender student Unique Adams on Glee, nails the part of Asaka, his first Broadway role, hopefully of many to come.

Papa Ge, originally male in the 1990 production, is portrayed by Merle Dandridge, widely known for her voice role as Alyx Vance in the Half Life 2 game. Her resonant malevolence plays perfectly against Lea Salonga’s warmth and kindness as Erzulie as the gods struggle to decide Ti Moune’s fate, à la a Greek drama.

The musical, an adaptation of the 1985 novella by Rosa Guy, My Love, My Love: Or, The Peasant Girl, features the lush and joyful sounds of the Caribbean and a strong sense of a culture that places much importance on song, dance and storytelling. Choreography, costumes and set design are top-notch, enhanced

by Circle in the Square Theatre’s thrust stage. In a truly unique setup, real sand

covers the entire floor, real water flows and a real goat makes a few appearances. And when a storm rolls into the mystical island, the audience experiences it full force. Like most fairy tales, before Disney got its hands on them, the resolution is complicated. But the ride is engrossing. With an all-star cast, the highest production value and timely subject matter, Once on This Island earns its place on The Great White Way. Once on This Island is at Circle in the Square Theatre, 235 West 50th St. For tickets, call 800-447-7400 or visit onceonthisisland.com.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently announced its revised admissions policy. Under the updated policy, which received approval from New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs, admission for residents of New York State and students from New Jersey and Connecticut will continue to be pay-as-you-wish and visitors from outside New York State will be required to pay a mandatory admission fee. The Met projects that the updated policy will affect 31 percent of all museum visitors.

The Met also announced that it will honor full-price admissions tickets for three consecutive days, giving visitors more time to experience each of the museum’s three locations. All children under 12 will continue to be admitted for free. The museum is now developing guidelines and practices for the revised policy, which will be implemented on March 1, 2018.

Mandatory admission for visitors from outside New York State will match the current suggested admissions prices: $25 for adults, $17 for seniors and $12 for students. Admission for all children under 12 will remain free. Special exhibitions, guided tours and gallery talks will also continue to be free with museum admission.

“The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an essential part of the fabric of New York City, and its mission to connect people to creativity, knowledge, and ideas is more important today than ever before,” said Cultural Affairs Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl.

The museum is extending the pay-as-you-wish policy to students from New Jersey and Connecticut. For the first year of this revised policy, The Met’s Board of Trustees will provide funding to enable this access.

Five Smart Nutrition Resolutions For The New Year 2000 calories a day should consume about two cups of fruit and two and a half cups of vegetables daily. Try to get a wide variety of colors from your fruits and vegetables for a plethora of antioxidants.

The New Year is a great opportunity to transform your health and nutrition. Try to make one commitment to yourself this year and focus all of your energy into accomplishing that goal. You can start by choosing one of these smart nutrition resolutions to kickstart your 2018:

1

Track Your Food Daily

Keeping a food log can provide great insight into various aspects of your eating habits. Tracking your food holds you accountable and can make you more conscious of portion sizes.

Keeping a log of your food can make you think twice before taking that extra bite of your daughter’s macaroni and cheese. This can help open your mind to sneaky extra calories you may have been consuming throughout the day. Some great food tracking

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas

apps include My Fitness Pal and MyPlate Calorie Tracker.

2

Get Your 5-A-Day

Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet? Most of us can benefit from an extra couple of servings throughout the day. The 5-A-Day for Better Health Program is a nationwide campaign to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables to at least five servings a day. Someone who needs

3

Drink An Extra Quart Of Water Daily

Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body requires water to function. Not only is hydration important for weight management, but it’s essential for good health.

A quick estimate of your daily hydration is simply drinking half of your body weight in ounces daily. For example, if you weigh 140lbs, aim for around 70 ounces of water daily. If this is a big jump, incorporate an extra four cups of water (two in the morning, two after work), daily to help reach your hydration goals.

4

Cut Out Artificial Sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners are far more potent than regular table sugar; a small amount of aspartame for example provides a very sweet taste when compared to the same amount of sugar.

Frequent consumption of artificial sweeteners can overstimulate our sugar receptors. Try to cut out artificial sweeteners from your diet, and use a small amount of the real thing on occasion.

5

Eat More Fermented Foods

Have you ever heard of probiotics? Probiotics are live “good” bacteria that can help restore the composition of the gut microbiome, which is crucial to our general health and digestion. Research on probiotics has shown that they can boost immunity, manage gastrointestinal

3B

symptoms, and even assist in weight management.

Incorporate more fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, kimchi, and tempeh to reap the probiotic benefits.

Remember that challenges and slip-ups will happen; what matters most is that you pick yourself back up and keep moving forward. Honor your integrity to yourself and stick with your commitments.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year.

Liver Transplant Allocation: New York Finally Catches A Break

iver transplantation remains a modern miracle for the treatment and cure of patients with advanced liver disease. While the actual surgery is complex and time consuming, the results are excellent. There are two pathways for receiving a new liver. The fastest is called living related donation. Living related donation involves one person (donor) giving a portion of their liver to another person (recipient).

The donor must be the same blood type and approximately the same size as the recipient and the donor must have a healthy liver. Only a small minority of liver transplants are living related donations.

Most liver transplants in the U.S. are the result of the death of a donor who has previously agreed to be an organ donor or whose family agrees to organ donation.

At present, the U.S. is

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

divided into 11 regions for organ allotment. In essence, each region keeps its own list meaning that the sickest people in the country are not necessarily the ones who receive the needed organs.

There is tremendous geographic variation in deceased donor organ donation across the country. New York and Vermont make up region nine.

For example, in region nine in 2016, 327 livers were donated

while in region three, the Deep South and Puerto Rico, more than 1,300 livers were donated in the same time period. This makes the most important determinant of a patient receiving a life saving organ not their medical condition but rather the zip code in which they reside. One would ask, “Why are there so many more liver donors in the South than in the Northeast?”

The Deep South is the center of America’s stroke belt due to significantly higher rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension. These conditions lead to an increased number of fatal strokes and a greater supply of donors. In addition, many Southern states have higher death rates from motor vehicle accidents leading to an expanded donor pool.

In the U.S., there are 143 liver transplant centers that performed 7,841 deceased donor liver transplants in

2016. Currently, there are more than 14,000 people on waiting lists for a new liver and more than 1,000 die each year while waiting.

The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network approved a new policy to more equitably distribute livers across the country.

The new policy extends the area in which a liver can be offered by drawing a 150 nautical mile circle around donor hospitals, with some exceptions. While this new policy does not equalize

organ allotment based upon medical need, it does increase the geographic area that a given region may receive organs from. This is good news for New York as it will mean more usable livers for our patients and more transplants. As New York expands its potential for performing liver transplantation, this new policy should help, especially the currently underserved liver population on Long Island, where as of now, no liver transplant programs operate.

Feinstein Institute Grant Funds Fertility Decision Tool The grant will help female cancer patients to plan for future family-building

F

einstein Institute for Medical Research Assistant Professor Catherine Benedict, PhD, has been awarded a two-year, $165,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to understand how young women who completed cancer treatment make fertility decisions and plan for future family-building.

The study will lead to the development of a decision-making and planning tool to help young survivors evaluate their options for having children after cancer. This current study is a continuation of Dr. Benedict’s research, which found that young adult females who survive cancer do not receive enough information about their fertility as part of their survivorship care.

There are more than 400,000 young adult female cancer survivors currently living in the United States.

One of this population’s main concerns after treatment is fertility

since many cancer treatments have been associated with infertility issues and place women at greater risk for early menopause. Benedict’s research will examine fertility decision-making after cancer treatment to ensure that patients receive the information they need and take appropriate steps for successful family building.

“Even if young women make some fertility plans before undergoing cancer treatment, many are still unclear of how to navigate their options post treatment when they actually want to plan for a family,” said Benedict, who is also a member of the new Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research. “They are often surprised with the cost of fertility treatments, unsure if they will go through early menopause or unaware of their options as a whole. I thank the NIH for their support, this will help us develop a tool that can weigh the medical facts with other considerations and help our patients develop a tailored fertility plan.”

Benedict and her team will collect data about how young women after cancer treatment make decisions about future family-building, their decision-support needs, as well as preferences and perceived barriers to making a choice. This will be used to create a web-based tool to help guide female cancer survivors through the decision-making process about their fertility options.

“This is novel and innovative work,” said Michael A. Diefenbach, PhD, professor at the Feinstein Institute, director of behavioral research in the Department of Medicine at Northwell Health and Dr. Benedict’s mentor. “The existing research focuses on informing patients about fertility implications of cancer treatment before their treatment starts. Dr. Benedict and others have clearly demonstrated that women at this point in their life are less able to make decisions about children. They are too focused on getting through treatment and beating cancer. From a decision standpoint, the time after treatment is better suited for planning and decision making, but is often overlooked by health care providers to inform patients.”

“Dr. Benedict’s previous research

Catherine Benedict identified a large need in survivor care for young female cancer survivors,” added Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute.

“The NIH’s investment in the next phase of this research is a major step to filling this need and improving care for this patient population.”

The recently-formed Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research at the Feinstein Institute leverages technology and big data to deliver new solutions that improve health care delivery.

“Dr. Benedict’s study is an example of how our researchers in the Center for Heath Innovation and Outcomes Research are driving the mission to improve delivery of health care,” said Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, head of the Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research at the Feinstein Institute and senior vice president of physician network operations at Northwell Health. “We are proud to have the NIH’s support in this endeavor, which will provide patients with private, individualized support through devices that are familiar to them.”

Practicing Mental Fitness With the new year in full effect, so many of us are contemplating resolutions and searching for ways to make the coming year better than the one before. In creating your best life, I invite you to place mental fitness at the top of your wish list. We so often talk about fitness in terms of creating the body of our dreams and looking our best. It is my belief that the importance of being internally stable and content rarely receives the attention that it deserves in creating a healthy life. After all, an optimal mindset is key in healing so many diseases and in creating a healthy inner world; one that will support every part of us to flourish and thrive. In fact so many of my clients don’t achieve the physical goals that they set for themselves until they have made a significant change in the limiting thought patterns that hold them back. Strength in all of it’s forms is an inside

job. Below are a few ways that you can implement and practicing the art of exercising your brain on the regular.

Look at Things Differently

LIFE EVOLUTIONS

‘‘

Melody Pourmoradi

In creating your best life, I invite you to place mental fitness at the top of your wish list.

Changing the way that we look at challenges and experiences is key in feeling vibrant and healthy. We so often get stuck in our old limiting beliefs that we inhibit ourselves from creating positive movement. The next time you find yourself thinking a self defeating thought, challenge that thought by asking if it is actually a proven fact or if you are just choosing to see things in a certain way. Become aware of your perceptions and know that each time you shift the way you interpret something you are creating new neural pathways in your brain and opening yourself up to a fresh perspective. What’s one way that you can choose to look at a situation in your life differently that instantly

makes you feel better?

Start Being Kinder to Yourself

What is the internal script that runs through your head at any given moment? Is it self-serving or self sabotaging? Truth is that if your internal dialogue is harmful that you will subconsciously act in ways that will reinforce those negative thought patterns. Don’t reserve all of your kindness and respect for everybody else. Start noticing subtle ways that you may be unkind to yourself and commit to choosing a more loving thought in that moment.

Change it Up

If we truly want to call in new ways of perceiving our world, we must be willing to literally change up our typical ways of doing things. Consider taking a different route to work or modifying your morning routine in some way. Your environment also contributes to

dwelling in an optimal state.

Do your surroundings inspire you or bring you down?

When we make simple and subtle shifts, we allow for new experiences to enter our lives.

Look Around You

Perhaps one of the most valuable things we can do to feel mentally and emotionally fit is to literally take a step back and notice the types of people that we are holding space for in our lives. We subconsciously take on the characteristics and behaviors of the people we spend the most amounts of time with. Are the people in your close circles a positive influence? Do they motivate you to be your best?

Here’s to a year that feels good from the inside-out.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). Relaxation is not the same for every person.

Some love to relax with others, having casual conversation. Some like a massage, others music, still others silence and solitude. Knowing and honoring your own way of settling down will ultimately help you put forth your best effort when it’s time to get to work.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Blooming Lovely!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are those who find most social settings the opposite of relaxing, so much so that they have to coax themselves into even the most ordinary exchanges. Your most useful talent this week will be in sensing the comfort level of others and doing your best to help people out wherever they are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Silver spoons come with their own metallic taste, whereas the far less expensive stainless steel option is widely preferred for its noninterference with flavor. There are many other instances when the cheaper option is actually the best one this week. You’ll make good on such things several times over.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). An ambitious part of you feels like if you’re not attempting the impossible, then you’re not doing enough. Relatedly, as you learn to do what many others are already doing well, you get the sneaking suspicion that there’s something better out there for you. Go on and stretch into the realm of the extraordinary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Because of the usual conditioning, most assume their animal desires are somehow the basest part of being human. Many desires are indeed low, though some animal impulses are sacred drives inspired by better angels. This week will bring inclinations both low and high, plus the wisdom to tell the difference.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feelings of trepidation can be interpreted many ways. The fear might be compared to a fire alarm, which is, for most people, a signal to run from the building. For firemen, the alarm is a signal to run into the building. This week’s scenario isn’t nearly as dire. React according to your equipment, skill set and role.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a slow-motion dance occurring between you and a subject of great potential. It’s starting to require an unsustainable amount of restraint. Decisions will be made as to the direction and speed this trajectory should take, if it continues at all. Whether you decide or it’s decided for you, it will turn out well for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Trust is not one blanket thing to all people.

It speaks to specific and individualized expectations. No one is completely trustworthy or untrustworthy. Rather, people learn exactly what they can and can’t trust one another to consistently do. This week you will come to a better understanding of what to expect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will find beauty wherever you are.

Whether you’re under the cathedral arches or in the service elevator. There’s comfort in the sound of people calling out, also in the buzz of electric heaters. There is poetry in the ordinary tension of a grocery store line. There are songs in the blur of a passenger window.

CONTRACT BRIDGE By Steve Becker

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How many friends do you want? How close? How frequently do you connect? These answers are different for everyone. The logistics of a good match can be just as important as deeper factors. This week you’ll understand more about your criteria and you’ll find friends who fit the bill.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Animals don’t steal. They do not recognize ownership of things. Rather, they recognize who is in possession of things and will then assess the risk of possessing what they want when opportunity arises. This week you will think of what you want from many points of view including moral, ethical and animal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The obstruction in the path of peace usually falls under the category of “ego.” Remove or reduce ego to create a two-lane road. Then, even those traveling in opposite directions can get places without incident. Peace is a simple accomplishment, yet many are unable to accomplish it. What about you?

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It’s not that you’re more serious about life; it’s just that you trust it more.

Your new trust is fed by the compassion you feel and give freely in relationships.

This love will grow a deep root, keeping you connected to and energized by your experiences. Start intriguing work this month and it will develop quickly and by sheer serendipity. State your financial and materialistic desires in March and sort out your reasons. There are many who will benefit from the fruition of your wishes.

New Year Wellness Tips

15A

Winter can be challenging both mentally and physically. Days are darker, colder and shorter, and we may be exposed to winter ailments, like the cold and flu. The key to staying healthy and happy throughout the winter 2018 season is to be proactive about health. To help supercharge 2018 wellness, we’ve asked for some health tips from a few experts at the Katz Institute for Women’s Health.

Nutrition

Sleep

“A great way to help ensure consistently better sleep is to try, as much as possible, to go to sleep at the same time each night, ideally within an hour of when you first start to feel tired. You’ll soon find that you won’t need your alarm clock in the morning, but will wake well-rested, refreshed, energized and ready to start your day. Establishing sleep habits is one New Year’s resolution that is right for everyone.”—Penny Stern, MD, MPH, Director of Preventive Medicine, Northwell Health

Winter blues

“It’s easy to be drawn inside and to stay in bed during the winter months.

One way to beat the winter blues is to stay active. Avoidance of activities that provide enjoyment and a sense of mastery may enhance feelings of sadness. Try activities which may include exercise, volunteering or spending time with friends. You can also try to learn something new, like cooking a new recipe or trying a crossword puzzle to give you a sense of accomplishment. And, the good habits you inaugurate at the new year will last throughout the months ahead.”—Bella Grossman, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Katz Institute for Women’s Health

‘‘

Winter can be a tough time of year for many of us.

– Debbie McElligott

Fitness

“A new year is here and exercise and movement should become even more of a priority. Engaging in an exercise program that can be done in your house is a great way to stay active when it’s too cold to go outside. And, it doesn’t have to involve buying expensive equipment. Push ups, squats and planks are all good examples of simple movements that can be done anywhere. Also, taking the stairs instead of an elevator and walking over sitting are great ways to stay healthy this winter.”— Spencer Scalzitti, M.S., EP-C, Exercise Physiologist, Center for Wellness and Integrative Medicine

Stress

“Winter can be a tough time of year for many of us. So, it’s important to focus on self-care during the winter months. Give yourself the gift of relaxation, even if it’s just for 10 minutes a day. Find a quiet spot, turn off the electronics and just breathe —become aware of the inhale and exhale, acknowledge any thoughts without judgment, and refocus on

“The holidays often result in weight gain for many people due to overconsumption of food and drinks at parties and get-togethers. With the new year here, it’s important to make healthy food choices and get back on track.

Start your day by eating a healthful breakfast rich in fiber and protein.

Avoid skipping meals which over time can slow down your metabolism and lead to overeating later in the day.

When making new year’s resolutions, make them specific, measurable and write them down to stay accountable.

Instead of promising to eat better, make specific goals such as eating a serving of vegetables every night at dinner or substituting diet coke with water or seltzer at lunch. You will likely be more successful.” —Marissa Licata, MS, RD, CDN, Registered Dietitian, Katz Institute for Women’s Health

Bagel Tools

Something FUR Everyone

here is no greater gift to the people of New York and Long Island than a fluffy, doughy, hot-out-of-the-oven bagel. Pizza is a close second, but any out-of-towners know there is no comparison...it’s in the water folks. So on a Saturday morning when you hit the deli for a dozen bagels, consider these useful tools to make the bagel experience that much more satisfying.

Lékué Silicone Bagel Mold

Gourmet Spreader

Get ready to take on the next great baking challenge: bagels. These flexible, easy-to-clean silicone molds allow for simple ways to bake or boil your own fresh bagels at home. Simply roll a ball of dough down over the center, creating a hole, and let it rise. Leave the dough on the mold as you bake, remove from heat by grabbing the tip of the mold, cool and enjoy. Each mold features a perforated bottom for draining and a tapered center.

Available in a set of six molds at Sur La Table for $11.99.

A well-known family brand for more than 70 years, Wüsthof knows knives. And any schmear worth its place on the top of your bagel should be spread evenly with a good spreading knife. Whether it’s butter or cream cheese, the smooth side of the blade allows for easy spreading while the serrated edge allows for a precise cut through dough, sandwiches or even panini. The Wüsthof Gourmet Spreader is available online at Williams Sonoma for $19.95.

Bagel Biter

Had one too many run-ins with the knife while cutting your bagel?

Then this gadget is for you. Safely slice your bagel in one swift movement with the Bagel Biter. The comfortable grip makes pushing through any size bagel easy. Available for $19.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Freeze Dryer

Did you get more bagels than you bargained for?

Are you making a special trip out of New York to deliver some bread baked goodness to another state? If so, freeze-drying bagels will ensure that freshness is preserved at all costs. Easy to use, just press start and a beep will sound to complete the process. The brand claims that food can be preserved for up to 25 years with all its flavor and nutrition and that customers can freeze dry 1,500 pounds of fresh food per year. This standard size freeze dryer is available in three colors at www. harvestkitchen.com for $2,295.

If you really love your bagels and believe yourself to be quite the connoisseur, you’ll want to invest in a conveyor toaster.

This high-powered electric toaster has controlled speeds and a horizontal conveyor that can toast up to 8 bagel slices at a time. The Star QCS2-1200B Star QCS® Conveyor Toaster is available at www.kitchenrestock.com for $1,258.49.

HISTORY

Schmears Over The Years

agels are about as ubiquitous a baked good as you’re going to find in the New York City/ Long Island area. And for good reason. These doughy delights were brought to the United States by immigrant Polish Jews, who set up shop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the early 1900s. It was here where the Bagel Bakers Local 338 ensured fair wages and good working conditions while allowing these bakers to thrive and get the word out about these then-handmade concoctions.

To get to the root of the bagel (or beygal as it is known in Yiddish), you have to travel back to the Ashkenazi Jewish communities of the 17th century. This is where the earliest mention of the bagel was made in 1610 as part of Jewish community ordinances in Kraków, Poland.

Fast-forward to the early 1960s, when Harry Lender, son Murray and Florence Sender leased the technology to pioneer automated production and distribution of frozen bagels. And while the ideal bagel should have a slightly crispy crust, a chewy inside and the flavor of freshly baked bread, there are a number of variations that have come to play over time.

Our friends in the Great White North have come up with something called the Montreal bagel, which is boiled in honey-sweetened water, contains malt and sugar with no salt and is baked in a wood-fired oven. These bagels are smaller with a larger whole and are crunchier and sweeter. New York bagels contain salt and malt and are boiled in water before being baked in a standard oven, which results in a puffier bagel with a moist crust.

Other variations include Chicagostyle bagels, which are baked or baked with steam. Traditional London bagels (or beigels) are harder and have a coarser texture with air bubbles. There are also offshoots including flagels, a flat bagel credited with being invented

by Brooklyn’s Tasty Bagels deli in the early 1990s. Then there is the bagel’s cousin, the bialy, which is a baked roll of Polish origin that has a depression

rather than a hole and can also be found at bagel shops.

There are also international versions of the bagel. They come from Russia (bublik—larger bagels with a wider hole), Finland (vesirinkeli—small rings of yeast-leavened wheat bread), Austria (beugel—ring-shaped pastries flavored with caraway that are boiled before being baked), Turkey (simit— circular bread encrusted with sesame seeds) and even China (girdeh—a type of nan with a hole that does not go all the way through).

Thanks to automation and advances in freezing technology, three million bagels are exported from the United States annually. And nowadays, you’ll even find variations that include gluten-free, green tea, banana-nut, blueberry and even green bagels for St. Patrick’s Day. Bagels have become the kind of cultural and culinary icon that’s gone far beyond its humble immigrant origins.
