Donna Summer: A Decade Later

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

he year was 2008 and Donna Summer was touring behind Crayons, her 17th, and what turned out to be final, studio album. It was her first recording of original material since 1991’s Mistaken Identity. I agreed to an interview with Summer because who is going to say no to chatting with a bona fide legend (and unbeknown to the world, someone who would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013)? The Boston native wound up dying at the age of 63 from lung cancer on May 17, 2012 at her home in Naples, FL, despite being a nonsmoker. Five dates into the Crayons tour, Summer was on the road to play a gig at Bethel Woods, NY. During the conversation, she lovingly spoke about her three kids, the new album, and her thoughts on American Idol. Little did she know that a musical about her life would be playing on Broadway a decade later. This story was never published until now.

LIW: Why so long between records?

Donna Summer: I was raising my kids and

a good bit of news—my youngest daughter just put her 4-song EP out [Johnnyswim]. She debuted it last night in Nashville. So you can go to my website and there is a link to her website. The name of her band is Johnnyswim and she and her boyfriend have a band together and they’re incredibly good. It’s gotten amazing reviews and it’s really good. I’m really excited. That’s what I’ve been doing. Raising my kids (laughs).

that no two songs should seem alike. The record company was nervous in the beginning, but after they started hearing the material, they started getting extremely excited and then it became a really pleasant experience.

LIW: “I’m a Fire,” you’re singing in Spanish.

“Drivin’ Down Brazil” has that samba flair. I was really intrigued by “Fame (The Game).”

Tell me about that.

DS: Some of the words are autobiographical and looking at what’s been going on with Britney Spears, Whitney [Houston] and a lot of these other kids that are out there who have really lost their sense of direction in life. We’ve incorporated that song into our set and it’s really great on stage. I think it gets the point across. A lot of people are busy trying to be famous and they don’t understand what the animal of fame actually is. I call it an animal because it can be brutal.

LIW: How do you explain your longevity versus so many disco artists? You are the one gold standard where you have a career arc that is continuing to this day versus so many artists, be they bands or singers, who might get one or two hits tops if they’re lucky. Next thing you know they end up on a disco oldies revue.

DS: I think I planned at a very early age that this was my life and career. I don’t look at it as a passing phase for myself. Like you know, it doesn’t mean there won’t be ups and downs.

Frank Sinatra was successful every year of his life but I think it’s the long-term perspective on

a career that makes it a career. If you’re going to have a shot at something, you can’t do it once or twice and then bail out. That’s not a career.

I never bailed out of my career. When I wasn’t recording, I was performing. Thankfully, I had a very large [fan base] and they’ve been very loyal, so I’ve been able to perform on a very high level for a very long time. That’s been very good for me, but that is something that I established early on in my career. So I think a lot of artists don’t establish themselves as performing acts. I think I managed to do both of those things through the tutelage of Neil Bogart. He was very adamant that I be recognized as a real person who could really perform like a Frank Sinatra and he thought that would bring me the longevity. And he was right. There is a lot of truth in that.

LIW: You were recently on American Idol for the second time. What was that like?

DS: It was the finale this time and I really enjoyed it. The girls that were on the show this time around rallied and were there until the end. They sang a lot of my songs. It was just great. It’s great to see this new crop of talented kids that have really got it. They’ve got it going on and it’s not gimmicky. If you don’t have it, you ain’t going to be on the show. They work you so hard on that show and I know what it’s like. It’s almost brutal, but they really get an education in success on that show. I like it.

LIW: Congratulations. I understand your other daughters are also in the industry.

DS: Thank you. And my other daughter is an actress out in Hollywood and she’s been on a show called My Wife and Kids, that’s been on for two seasons. She’s getting ready to do a new show called Revolution on the Sci-Fi channel.

Everybody is bubbling along. My oldest daughter Mimi is married with three kids and she’s still writing songs and working on her career. So everybody is in the business somehow.

LIW: Talk to me about Crayons. It seems to be all over the place and I mean that in the best sense of the word.

DS: It’s supposed to represent as many colors as I could possibly get out.

The criteria for the album was

ukebox musicals are a fairly surefire way to profit on Broadway (although Escape to Margaritaville seems to be defying that logic, given that it’s closing on July 1). Summer: The Donna Summer Musical seems tailor-made to succeed. Director Des McAnuff (who also co-wrote the book along with Colman Domingo and Robert Cary) has been down this path to success with his prior efforts The Who’s Tommy and Jersey Boys. And the two Tony nominations Summer landed for leads LaChanze and Ariana DeBose must mean it’s a great production, no? Not exactly.

The idea that LaChanze, DeBose and Storm Lever portray the late vocalist’s different personas (Disco Donna/Diva Donna/Duckling Donna) is novel on paper, but proves to be a bit confusing in reality.

Particularly when LaChanze and Lever also play Summer’s mother and daughter respectively. The set design is top-notch, capturing various locales in Summer’s life ranging from

of having a cast that’s essentially all-female playing virtually all the male roles, not unlike an inverse version of what Shakespeare was doing with The Globe Theatre, is jarring and doesn’t necessarily work. There is also a lot of chronological jumping around that can be dizzying.

While the audience gets the full Behind the Music treatment that includes anecdotes about Summer being groomed by mentor/label head Neil Bogart (who was one of the few male characters played by a man), enduring childhood molestation, a suicide attempt and a bad first marriage, it all seems to be glossed over. The musical’s creators get credit for addressing Summer’s anti-gay remarks that included, “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” a 1983 on-stage quip the then-born again Christian made that alienated many of her most devoted fans.

The Donna Summer canon is what keeps this production afloat.

Attendees can expect to get the kitchen-sink approach that not only includes Summer’s seminal songs—”MacArthur Park,” “Hot Stuff,” “Dim All the Lights,” “Bad Girls,” “On the Radio,” “Heaven Knows,” “She Works Hard For the Money”—but collaborations with Musical Youth (“Unconditional Love”) and Barbra Streisand “No More Tears (Enough is Enough),” although Streisand’s presence is glossed over. And by the time “Last Dance” is unleashed as the show closer, there’s no denying the greatness that was Donna Summer.

Factory Fresh

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Kebab Factory tops its beef and lamb doner with an array of fresh ingredients.

ssembly line-style fast-casual restaurants have come a long way since the auspicious debut of Subway many years ago. These days, hungry customers on-the-go can build their own meals at fresh-forward stalwarts like Chipotle, Moe’s and the lesser-known but growing Sabrosa.

Recently, a new option in that vein of eateries opened in Mineola—and thankfully, it features cuisine other than the usual suspects.

Conceived by the owners of Bosphorus Cafe Grill in Port Washington, Kebab Factory, a Turkish and Mediterranean grill, utilizes the

20180608_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:17 June 4, 2018

quick-serve approach to build streetfood favorites with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and homemade recipes. The five-step factory process starts when customers pick a base from options including salad and grain bowls, roasted vegetables, pita sandwich and French fries. From there, you choose from a list of proteins like falafel, chicken doner kebab, chicken shish kebab, lamb and beef doner and spicy chicken to top your base.

Then, it’s time to pick up to two dips and spreads—these include hummus, babaganush, spinach with yogurt, eggplant with tomato, spicy feta and roasted red pepper hummus. The next step is toppings, with options including shepherd’s salad, olives, cherry

peppers, pickled onion, cucumber, feta and more. And finally, you can choose up to two sauces from a collection that consists of herb vinaigrette, tzatziki, lemon citrus, hot sauce and tahini.

The end result is a completely personalized combination of ingredients for a flavorful lunch or dinner. And as the bases include a variety of greens and grains, it feels downright healthy, even when the beef and lamb are piled atop. Speaking of the meats, chicken doner and lamb and beef doner seductively spin on vertical rotisseries just behind the counter. Marinated in a proprietary blend of spices, the meat is succulent, with that all-important outer crust created when heat meets juicy meat. The lamb/beef doner is

especially luscious, imparting its drippings onto the base below. Meanwhile, the chicken doner is equally moist, thanks to the tradition of using thigh meat rather than the dangerously dry breast.

While the meat is serious business, customers can have some real fun mixing and matching dips, spreads, toppings and sauces. The babaganush is smoky, while the spinach with yogurt is subtle and smooth. The roasted red pepper hummus tastes garden fresh,

pairing nicely with the more assertive spicy feta. The shepherd’s salad stands out among the toppings, thanks to fresh herbs, seasonings like sumac and red pepper. Olives add a pleasantly bitter bite, while cherry peppers bring some fire to the fare.

As for sauces, the tahini and tzatziki, crucial elements in many Mediterranean cuisines, are tasty and definite must-have additions to any meal at the Kebab Factory. And for a fiery exclamation point, ask for a streak

20180608_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:17 June 4, 2018

or two of hot sauce right across the top of your salad or sandwich creation.

And for a sweet finish, Kebab Factory has stacks of mini baklava right at the register—flaky and sticky, these are rather irresistible.

Overall, Kebab Factory brings some much needed flair to the local dining scene with dynamic cuisine and a convenient ordering system.

ong Islanders are not strangers to the many shopping malls that stand across the 118 mile stretch of land we call home.

Shopping, just like bragging about how our bagels are better than anywhere else’s, is a hobby much enjoyed, especially in the summer.

While Roosevelt Field, the 10th largest mall in America, by the way, may be Nassau County’s shopping mecca, it is entirely enclosed. With warm weather already upon us, treat yourself to a day of shopping, but enjoy it somewhere where you can enjoy the fresh air and the pleasure of feeling the sun’s heat on your skin.

Woodbury Rd. and Jericho Tpke., Woodbury This underrated shopping center on Jericho Turnpike houses more than just clothing stores like Athleta and Chico’s. You can enjoy a salad at Chopt and then sweat it out at SoulCycle or ROCK Pilates. For a bigger selection of shopping, take a longer drive to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, NY.

Beachin’ Reads

BY CHRISTY HINKO

CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

ith tons of great options to choose from on the bookshelves and tons more coming up just in time for beach season, here are some of our top picks for can’t-put-down beach reads.

The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand Fiction, June 19 (Little, Brown and Company) It’s Nantucket wedding season, aka summer, and the sight of a bride racing down Main Street is as common as the sun setting at Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding promises to be an event to remember: the groom’s wealthy parents have spared no expense to host a lavish ceremony at their oceanfront estate.

This Is Me

by Chrissy Metz Memoir, March 27 (Dey Street Books) Much more than your standard Hollywood memoir, Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) opens up about her childhood, abusive relationship with her stepfather, struggle with her body image and how she came to love herself. Bottom line: Chrissy Metz just loves making us cry.

Tangerine

by Christine Mangan Historical Fiction, March 27 (Ecco) The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason.

After the accident at Bennington, the two friends—once inseparable roommates—haven’t spoken in over a year. But there Lucy was, trying to make things right and return to their old rhythms. Perhaps Alice should be happy. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat. Lucy—always fearless and independent—helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country. Optioned for film by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures, with Scarlett Johansson to star.

When Life Gives You Lululemons

by Laura Weisberger Humor, June 5 (Simon & Schuster) Welcome to Greenwich, CT, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito’s and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor. Let’s be clear: Emily Charlton does not do the suburbs. After leaving Miranda Priestly, she’s been working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily’s lost a few clients. She’s hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now.

Beachin’ Reads from page 18A The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer Literary Fiction, April 3 (Riverhead Books) To be admired by someone we admire—we all yearn for this: the private, electrifying pleasure of being singled out by someone of esteem. But sometimes it can also mean entry to a new kind of life, a bigger world. Greer Kadetsky is a shy college freshman when she meets the woman she hopes will change her life. Faith Frank, dazzlingly persuasive and elegant at sixty-three, has been a central pillar of the women’s movement for decades, a figure who inspires others to influence the world.

Love and Ruin by Paula McClain Historical Fiction, May 1 (Ballantine) In 1937, 28-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. It’s the adventure she’s been looking for and her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. But she also finds herself unexpectedly—and uncontrollably—falling in love with [Ernest] Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend.

The Pisces by Melissa Broder Humor, May 1 (Hogarth) Lucy has been writing her dissertation on Sappho for nine years when she and her boyfriend break up in a dramatic flameout. After she bottoms out in Phoenix, her sister in Los Angeles insists Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Annika’s home is a gorgeous glass cube on Venice Beach, but Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety—not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the foxhound’s easy affection.

T

heaters are hoping to rebound from a slow winter/spring slump by releasing some of its best blockbusters for summer. They are so confident that they are distributing a few of them prior to the official start of June 18. Take a break from the heat and catch one of these exciting flicks.

The following are just a few to choose from this summer.

Crazy Rich Asians (PG-13)

On Aug. 17, the film Crazy Rich Asians debuts, directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan and Ken Jeong. This movie is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Kevin Kwan.

The hilarious comedy follows boyfriend and girlfriend Rachel and Nick, both NYU professors who travel to Singapore to meet Nick’s family. Unbeknownst to

Ocean’s 8 (PG-13) June 8 sees the premiere of Ocean’s 8, which received a lot of buzz since the announcement of an all-female cast. Gary Ross directs Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson and Awkafina. A direct spin-off from the Ocean’s trilogy starring George Clooney, this story follows Danny Ocean’s estranged sister, Debbie Ocean, as she gathers a crew to steal a major item from the star studded Met Gala held annually in New York City. This action-comedy is a must see.

Mission: Impossible Fallout (NR)

Rachel, Nick’s family is one of the wealthiest families in Asia and they don’t necessarily think she is good enough for him. A great film to destress with.

Replicas (PG-13) Aug. 24 sees the release of Replicas, directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff and starring Keanu Reeves, Alice Eve, Thomas Middleditch and Emily Alyn Lind. Reeves stars as a scientist who loses his family in a car accident and does everything possible, legally or not, to bring Incredibles 2 (PG) them back to life. A scary thriller, which Reeves excels The animated feature debuts on at. This one will keep you June 15, directed on the edge of and written your seats.

by Brad Bird who also did the same for the first Incredibles movie.

Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell, Samuel L. Jackson and Sophia Bush are just a few celebrities to lend their voices to this funny sequel following the Parr family. This time, Elastigirl, continues to fight crime while protesting for the reinstatement of the supers. Mr. Incredible becomes a stay at home parent caring for Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack where he discovers the baby’s secret powers in the process. They must all come together to battle old and new villains alike. A great family movie.

24A | SUMMERTIME! • JUNE 6 - 12, 2018

Hitting theaters July 27 is Mission: Impossible-Fallout, which is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and stars Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan and Angela Basset. This is Cruise’s sixth turn as Ethan Hunt as he and his team must regroup after a failed mission threatens the world. This time not only enemies but former allies hunt him down, assuming wrongly that his loyalty may be in question. This is what Cruise does best and it is sure to win at the box office.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (NR) July 6 sees the debut of Ant-Man and the Wasp, a sequel to 2015’s Ant-Man. Peyton Reed directs with Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer and Michael Douglas starring.

S

ummertime is right around the corner. Why go out and have some fun in the sweltering heat when you can stay inside a nice air conditioned room and binge out on some of the year’s hottest shows? Here are some suggestions for those who just want to Netflix and chill out.

HBO’s Barry follows former United States marine Barry Berkman who is played by comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Bill Hader, who works as a low-rent hitman in the Midwest. Lonely and dissatisfied with his life, Berkman travels to Los Angeles to kill someone but ultimately ends up finding an accepting community in a group of eager hopefuls within the Los Angeles theater scene. Season one consists of only eight episodes, an easy challenge for all the hardcore bingers out there.

Barry was recently renewed for a second season.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix is another good show to binge. The web television sitcom follows 29-year-old Kimmy Schmidt—played by Ellie Kemper—as she adjusts to life in New York City after her rescue from a doomsday cult in the fictional town of Durnsville, IN. The overtly positive Schmidt quickly befriends her street-wise landlady Lillian Kaushtupper, finds a roommate in struggling actor Titus Andromedon and gains a job as a nanny for the melancholy and outof-touch socialite Jacqueline Voorhees. The show just recently ended its four season run on the streaming service.

Also on Showtime is the comedy-drama Shameless, which stars William H. Macy who plays Frank Gallagher.

As a single father of six children, Gallagher spends his days in a drunken stupor when he’s not searching for misadventures while his kids learn how to take care of themselves. The British remake has been renewed for a ninth season, which will make it the longest-running original scripted series in Showtime’s history.

For those who have a passion for anything British or royal, the award-winning historical drama The Crown, can also be found on Netflix. The show traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 through to the present day. Each season of the show covers a different period of Queen Elizabeth’s life. The Crown has already been renewed by Netflix for a third and fourth season, which the former slated to premiere in 2019. The show is intended to last 60 episodes over a six season span, with 10 one-hour episodes per season.

If being scared out of your mind is something that you enjoy, then Netflix’s Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist is a good choice. Evil Genius is a true crime docuseries about the murder of Brian Wells, a high-profile 2003 incident often referred to as the “collar bomb” or “pizza bomber” case. It was released on Netflix as a four-part series last month.

Billions is another binge worthy show. The television drama is loosely based on the activities of crusading federal prosecutor of financial crimes Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and his legal battles with hedge fund manager Steve Cohen of S.A.C. Capital Advisors. In the second season, Billions loosely incorporates the cases involving the Treasury bond auction market manipulation conduct of the Salomon Brothers in 1991. Both Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis star in the Showtime show, which was just renewed for a fourth season.

Lastly, Showtime’s Homeland—the popular American spy thriller follows the missions of bipolar CIA officer Carrie Mathison (played

by Claire Danes) and U.S. Marine Corps Scout Sniper Nicholas Brody (played by Damian Lewis).

Mathison comes to believe that Brody, who was held captive by al-Qaeda as a prisoner of war, has been “turned” by the enemy and poses a threat to the country.

Homeland focuses on a storyline that evolves from this premise, together with Mathison’s ongoing covert work. The show will end next year after its eighth season.

Cruisin’ On Manhasset Bay

itting on the front deck sun pads of the Cobalt 46, one may gaze out across the bay, spying the blue sky that seems to alter color as it touches Manhasset Bay’s gentle wake, and feel a sense of serenity that only the quiet of slowly pulling out of Inspiration Wharf may bring. As the Long Island Boat Rentals charter yacht picks up speed, one might want to head to the seat situated on the bow to feel the wind in their hair or take in the views of the New York City skyline to the left and the greenery of the Port Washington coast to the right. The luxury express yacht cruiser, complete with two full cabins, a hydraulic swim platform for easy access to the water, a barbecue grill in the cockpit and surround sound stereos, is one of the five rental boats that Long Island Boat Rentals offers to get residents and tourists out on the water in Port Washington.

26A | SUMMERTIME! • JUNE 6 - 12, 2018

“We’re trying to make the water easily accessible to anybody,” said Long Island Boat Rentals principal William Gordon. “People move to Port Washington for the water and then they never go out on it.

The typical concept is that they want to go out on the water but don’t know how to get out on

California who had a sailboat that he would share with others.

After being able to jump on the boat, go sailing, dock and get off without having to complete any maintenance or fuel the boat up, Gordon was impressed.

However, it wasn’t until 2013 that Gordon decided to purchase Long Island Boat Rentals

The Cobalt 46 the water because they don’t have a boat and don’t know how to drive one. This is a necessary service in Port Washington to get people engaged in the water, but we bring people from all over the island and the tri-state area.”

Gordon realized boat rentals were a thriving business when he went to visit a friend in

from the previous owner for his son, Christian.

“Being given the business was really cool, but I didn’t even have time to think about it,” explained Christian. “I’m enjoying it. I’m learning so much about the ins and outs of business and marketing. I learned them at school but now

I have to apply it to something I know so well. Sometimes it’s easy, but it’s also hard because I can’t offer an outside perspective. I’ve been boating my whole life and I had the opportunity to grow up under my dad who has been boating his whole life so it’s kind of something that gets passed down from generation to generation.”

Before jumping on a boat, clients must either show Christian their competence of navigating the waters; take the accelerated safe powerboat handling or individual powerboat lessons offered by Long Island Boat Rentals; or pay the additional $50 an hour for a captain to accompany them out onto the waters. Christian explained that many renters enjoy having a captain because they don’t have to focus on driving the boat and can fully relax while the captain adds to the experience by sharing information about the area.

“I feel like I really get to know people when I go out with them on the water because they’re in a very comfortable environment,” said Christian.

While some use Long Island Boat Rentals as a unique opportunity to entertain business

Cruise To A Plethora Of Places

Long Island Boat Rentals operates from mid-April to late October, giving renters the perfect excuse to play hooky from work and bringing the people of Port Washington and the tri-state area the ability to get out onto the water to explore the areas around them.

“When people come out I ask what they would like to do, what they would like to see,” said Christian. “Would you like to just get out on the water and spend quality time with your friends or would you like to explore

Christian and William Gordon on the Cobalt. (Photos by Alex Nuñez) new places? Some people just want to be on the water.

On Friday nights, people will do a dinner cruise and then they’ll catch the fireworks at Rye Playland Park on the way back. People love to go to Prime in Huntington for dinner and I take them to Oyster Bay or Greenwich, CT.” Along with the company’s daily rental service, Long Island Boat Rentals recently began offering a commuter

service to help residents skip traffic with a relaxing boat ride. Christian is looking to expand the commuter service by offering packages to Mets games, so residents can ride over to Citi Field, watch a matinée game and then get a scenic ride back.

“I took people to a bunch of the concerts at Citi Field, so instead of renting a taxi or taking the train, we picked them up in Glen Cove and took them for a two hour pre-concert boat ride and dropped them off,” said Christian. “You can dock your boat cheaper than you can park your car. We want people to be spontaneous.”

Long Island Boat Rentals offers a variety of opportunities to get out on the water in Port Washington.

“We’re 20 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but you can get out here and feel like you’re somewhere else,” said Christian.

New York, NY

A 40-minute ride on a Long Island Boat Rental can get renters a trip around to the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan, allowing for breathtaking views of the skyline and bridges.

Jersey City, NJ

Christian usually takes locals over to the Liberty House in Jersey City where they get a view of the downtown Manhattan skyline while grabbing a bite to eat or taking in the scenic sights of Liberty State Park.

City Island, NY

On a hot summer day or even a cool September afternoon, take five friends and head to the City Island Lobster House for three hours for a lobster tail plate or some jumbo shrimp scampi.

Connecticut

Hop on a boat rental for 50 minutes to Greenwich or an hour to Stamford’s waterfront. While in Greenwich, one can explore multiple parks and beaches; Stamford has rows of restaurants to offer including their own Prime restaurant.

Mamaroneck, NY

Mamaroneck is the perfect place for an adventure because boaters can dock and walk into town to visit restaurants like Bar Harbor Grill or Sedona Tap House.

Shrimply The Best

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDAIAGROUP.COM

D

on’t be shellfish this summer. Sharing the bounty of the sea in the form of crab, lobster, mussels, oysters, clams and shrimp are the highlight of summer clambakes and cookouts. Your favorite chefs think so, too. Anne Burrell, Judy Joo and Fred’s at Barney’s New York Downtown have rounded up their favorite shrimp dishes, perfect for the summer. Poppable, portable and altogether delicious, these simple shrimp dishes will be a hit at any barbecue this season.

Fried Shrimp with Garlicky Hot Pepper Sauce From Judy Joo’s Book Korean Food Made Simple Serves 4

“This classic Korean-Chinese dish is a more grown-up version of sweet-and-sour shrimp. The shrimp is battered and fried and then enrobed in a spicy, garlicky, pungent sauce, free of the distraction of vegetables. With its somewhat familiar tomato-accented sauce, it’s more similar to Chinese sweet-and-sour takeout than its cousin, sweet-and-sour beef.”

1 tsp plus 1 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying ½ cup plus 1 tsp cornstarch ½ cup potato starch ½ tsp baking soda Kosher salt or sea salt 1 large egg white 1½ lbs large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry

3 Tbsp sugar 4½ tsp tomato paste 1 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp rice vinegar 1 tsp gochujang (Korean chile paste), Sriracha, chile sauce, or chile-garlic sauce 1 tsp toasted sesame oil 3 Tbsp diced onion 6 cloves garlic, grated or minced 1 fresh Korean red chile or Fresno chile, diced 1 fresh Korean green chile or jalapeno, diced Handful of scallions, thinly sliced on an angle Steamed white rice for serving 1. In a large, wide, heavy-bottomed pot at least 5 inches deep, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches

Egg Custards with Shrimp From Judy Joo’s Book Korean Food Made Simple Serves 4 “These silky, light, and super-easy egg custards are good on their own and even better topped with sweet shrimp and sliced scallions. Take care not to overcook these, as the texture can become tough and dry.”

8 large eggs 2 cups chicken stock 2 tsp fish sauce ½ tsp kosher salt or sea salt 8 small shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 scallion, thinly sliced on an angle

Egg Custards with Shrimp

(Photos courtesy of Judy Joo)

Toasted sesame oil, for serving Roasted sesame seeds, for serving

375 degrees F. While the oil is heating, in a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup of the cornstarch, the potato starch, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Add the egg white, 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil, and ½ cup water and whisk until a thick batter forms.

2. Working in batches, coat the shrimp in the batter, letting any excess drip into the bowl. Slip the shrimp into the oil, one piece at a time, and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 1½ minutes. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, letting the oil return to 375 degrees F 1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, stock, fish sauce, and salt. Pour the mixture into four 10-ounce heatproof bowls or ramekins. Arrange the bowls in a large wide pot with a lid. Add enough boiling water to the pot to reach two thirds of the way up the sides of the bowls. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and steam until the custards are slightly wobbly in the center, 6 to 7 minutes.

2. Divide the shrimp and scallion among the bowls, cover, and steam until the shrimp are cooked through and the custards are set, about 3 minutes more.

3. Top the custards with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve warm

Fried Shrimp with Garlicky Hot Pepper Sauce between batches.

3. When all the shrimp have been fried, let the oil return to 375 degrees F, and then carefully return all the shrimp to the oil and fry a second time until very crisp, 1½ to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set the fried shrimp aside.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, tomato paste, soy sauce, vinegar, chile paste, sesame oil, remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and ¼ cup water until the sugar has dissolved. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Tomato Salad with Shrimp and Black Volcanic Sea Salt

By Anne Burrell Serves 4 to 6

“When I was in Hawaii I had this version of a tomato salad with shrimp and volcanic salt, and it was amazing. First of all, it looks beautiful-the red tomatoes, pink shrimp, and inky black crystals on top are a vision of delightfulness. Then you take that first bite and the little salt crystals give up their crunchy, oceanic, mineraly salinity.”

Extra virgin olive oil 4 cloves garlic, smashed Crushed red pepper 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined Kosher salt

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden. Add the calamari and octopus and cook, stirring, until the calamari starts to turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the clams and mussels and cook 1 minute.

2. Add the tomato, wine, oregano, hot red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, bring to a simmer, and simmer about 4 minutes, until the shellfish start to open and the sauce has thickened slightly.

3. Next, add the pasta to the boiling water, stir well, and cover

until it returns to the boil. Uncover and boil until just tender to the bite all the way through.

4. Add the shrimp and scallops to the sauce, mix well, and simmer about 2 minutes, until the shrimp and scallops are just cooked through. If the sauce seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water. When the pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it to the sauce. Toss well and serve immediately. If desired, arrange on a serving platter with the mussel and clam shells around the rim.

A Farmer’s Heirloom A fresh ingredient straight from the garden

By Steve Mosco

516-883-2159

Thank goodness for fanatical seed savers.

Sometime before the 1930s, an opportunistic farmer somewhere in America noticed a plant was producing a tomato that was uniform in shape and color. The rounded shape made shipping the fruit a breeze and the all-red color was more enticing to customers’ eyes. So, after agricultural experiments, a new tomato variety containing this “uniform ripening” mutation was released—they dubbed it, All Red. But breeding uniformity into tomatoes had the unfortunate side effect of sucking out all the flavor. Now the bulk of tomatoes we eat today pale in comparison to the tomatoes of a century ago. Because we demanded tomatoes outside of the traditional season of June through October, and ones more cost-effective to ship, what we’ve ended up with is a perfectly round and perfectly boring tomato with bland flavor, along with a plastic exterior and a Styrofoam-esque interior.

Here’s where those fanatical seed savers come into play.

As if they split open a tomato and saw the bleak future, some growers saved seeds for generations, giving us heirloom tomatoes. These antique strains of the fruit and/or vegetable create tomatoes of various colors and sizes, with unsightly bulges, striking shades and the taste of a real tomato.

And varieties go beyond Beefsteak or cherry or plum.

Heirloom tomatoes boast cool names like Black Krim, Amy’s Super Gem and Dixie Golden Giant. They can be found at farmers’ markets or local grocery stores with expanded produce sections—or, for more agricultural individuals, seeds can be purchased online for home growing.

As an ingredient in dishes, heirloom tomatoes easily replace the mass-cultivated versions. A garden-fresh bruschetta atop crusty bread or grilled chicken blatantly displays the array of heirloom tomatoes, while Burrata and Caprese salads are taken to

far more flavorful levels when heirlooms are used in the dish’s recipe.

While replacing canned tomatoes with heirlooms in your Sunday sauce is a daunting task, your ancestors would be proud of your homemade, from-scratch efforts. A classic heirloom tomato sauce with fresh basil is a deep-flavored and fresh take on the all-day simmering pot.

And the health benefits attributed to tomatoes are numerous. They are a rich source of antioxidants, including lycopene, an antioxidant that is highly effective in scavenging cancer-causing free radicals, while also exerting a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases. Tomatoes are also a tremendous source of vitamins C and A, along with iron and potassium.

Dig a little deeper at the market and when you pull out those weird, bumpy tomatoes, say a quiet “thank you” to the seed savers.

Best Beaches On Long Island

BY KIMBERLY DONAHUE

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Rising temperatures are the signal for the approaching summer season and Long Island’s beaches are one of the biggest attractions for locals and visitors alike. However, beach days can be challenging for all members of the family to enjoy, and meeting the needs of everyone in a group

can ensure a great trip before it even starts. These Long Island beaches are the best for accommodating the needs of various visitors that can create a perfect day for everyone.

Best Beach for A Quiet Getaway: Point Lookout Beach 1300 Lido Blvd., Lido Beach Tucked in at the edge of Long Beach, Point Lookout will be

well-liked by those who are looking for peace and quiet. This beach tends to draw smaller crowds compared to nearby Jones Beach, which makes for a great place to read, nap or think. The surrounding neighborhood is nice for dinner or a sweet treat as well.

Entrance to the beach is $10 for Town of Hempstead residents and $25 for non-residents.

Ocean Parkway, Massapequa There are activities that everyone in a beach group will love at Tobay Beach. Kids will have fun in the water spray park to get them ready for the water or help them clean off at the end of the day. Expect smaller crowds than other nearby beaches to really have the “getaway” experiences with clean sand, clear waters and great views for sunsets. Enjoy a drink or a snack at the concession stand while taking in the water. After a day soaking up those rays, chow down at one of the many nearby restaurants within walking distance and take in the oceanfront views at The Crazy Oyster, Mango Bay Latin Kitchen and Cantina, and more. The beach is only open to Town of Oyster Bay residents on weekends.

Every travel destination has its own look, culture, history, people, feelings, landscapes and stories. Learning how to capture these subjects through photos helps convey the spirit of a place to others, giving them a glimpse of what it might be like to venture there.

I never went to school for photography. And yet here I am now, making my living as a professional travel blogger and photographer who regularly licenses images to tourism boards, brands and occasionally glossy magazines.

I’ve slowly learned the techniques of travel photography over years of reading books, watching online tutorials and regular practice to improve my craft. You can learn this way too, if you put in the effort.

Here are my favorite travel photography tips to improve your images.

Wake Up Early, Stay Out Late

The early bird gets the worm.

I’m sure you’ve heard that phrase. Well it’s also very true for travel photography. Light is the most important ingredient for great photography—and soft, warm, morning light creates amazing images.

from page 37A

Pre-Trip Location Scouting

Read travel guidebooks about your destination.

Scour the internet for articles and blog posts to help give you ideas for photos. Talk to friends who have been there. Reach out to other photographers. Become more knowledgeable about which images will capture the essence of a place.

Talk To People

Photographing local people in a foreign country is tough for many photographers.

What if they don’t understand you?

What if they say no? Will they get offended? It took me a couple years to get comfortable shooting portraits of locals, and even now I still get a bit nervous.

Experiment With Composition

You can almost always come up with a better photo composition after some experimentation.

Sure, take that first shot standing up straight. But then try laying on the ground for a low angle. Maybe climb up something nearby and shoot from a higher angle.

Use A Tripod

software is “cheating.” Let’s clear that up right now. All professional photographers edit their digital images using software like Lightroom, Photoshop, or GIMP.

I think more people should be using lightweight travel tripods. A tripod allows you to set your camera position and keep it there. With the camera fixed, you can then take your time arranging the perfect composition.

16

Don’t Obsess Over Equipment

6

Rule Of Thirds

If you went out and bought all of the photography gear I use, not only would it be super expensive, I guarantee it won’t improve your photography skills.

Start with the basics and leave the 12-set of lenses at home.

One of the most basic and classic of photography tips, understanding the Rule of Thirds will help you create more balanced compositions. Imagine breaking an image down into thirds horizontally and vertically, so it’s split into different sections.

17

Never Stop Learning

7

Make Photography A Priority

Attempting to take quick snapshots as you rush from one location to another will leave you with the same boring photos everyone else has. Make sure you plan “photography time” into your travel schedule. Good travel photography requires a solid time commitment on your part.

8

The Human Element

People like to live vicariously through human subjects in photos. Especially if the viewer can pretend the person in the photo is them. It adds more emotion to an image, you feel like you’re experiencing the location yourself.

9

Patience Is Everything

Photography is about really seeing what’s in front of you. Not just with your eyes, but with your heart and mind too.

This requires dedicated time and attention. Slow down and make a conscious effort at becoming aware of your surroundings before pressing the shutter.

10

Protect Against Theft

Ok, this one is slightly off topic, but I think it’s important too. Cameras are small expensive products. As such, they’re a prime target for theft while traveling. I’ve heard

many sad theft stories from other travelers. Luckily I’ve never had my camera stolen, but I also take precautions against it.

11

Shoot In Manual Mode

You’d think that modern cameras are smart enough to take incredible pictures on their own, in auto mode. Well that’s just not the case. While they do a pretty good job, if you want truly stunning images, you need to learn how to manually control your camera’s settings yourself.

of your travel photos. When my laptop computer was stolen once in Panama, backups of my photography saved the day.

15

Post Processing

There is a ridiculous myth out there that editing your photos using

Enroll in some online photography tutorials.

Invest in a travel photography workshop. Go out and practice on a regular basis. This is how you get better—not because you have the latest gear or use popular Instagram filters.

Visit Matthew Karsten’s website (expertvagabond.com/travel-photography-tips) for the full version of these tips, including more about photography and his travels and adventures.

STAY • EAT • PLAY

12

Always Bring A Camera

There is a saying in photography that “the best camera is the one you have with you.” Be ready for anything, and always carry a camera around, because luck plays a pretty key role in travel photography.

13

Get Lost On Purpose

OK. You’ve visited all the popular photography sites, and captured your own version of a destination’s postcard photos. Now what? It’s time to go exploring, and get off the beaten tourist path. It’s time to get lost on purpose.

14

Backup Your Photos

Along with camera insurance, I can’t stress enough the importance of both physical and online backups

ACTIVITIES & EVENTS

BEST BEACHES from page 36A Best for Kids: Nickerson Beach Park

880 Lido Blvd., Lido Beach Kids of all ages will enjoy the many activities offered at Nickerson Beach from free family movie nights offered on Sundays to a fully equipped “Fun Zone.” Located by the sand dunes, children will enjoy the views of the sea while safely playing in a fenced-in area to separate the older and younger kids.

Children will never want to leave the traditional features of slides, swings and math walls. Older kids and teens will want to spend hours at the rock climbing wall, two pools with lifeguards, a skate park and a “Pitch and Putt.” Do not forget about the actual beach; there are areas designated for wildlife watching including the federally-protected Piping Plover.

Best for Pets: Port Jefferson Public Beach and Dog Park

Port Jefferson There is no need to keep furry friends on a leash at this beach.

Dogs are free to roam without a

leash for the miles on this well-kept coastline with pick-up bags available by the beach entrances. The fun for pooches does not need to stop at the beach with many nearby restaurants that are also pet-friendly with their outdoor seating. No dog?

No problem. This beach is also great for families looking to enjoy the day taking in the Smithtown Bay along with the passing dogs on the sand.

Best for Seniors: Robert Moses State Park 600 Robert Moses State Pkwy., Babylon The age of loved ones do not need to hinder a beach getaway, especially at Robert Moses State Park. This beach is handicapped accessible from all park entrances and beach wheelchair friendly.

Beach wheelchairs are available for free on a first-come first serve basis at the park’s First Aid Offices. During the summer season, mobility mats are placed on the sand for an easier journey along the beach. The park also has a boardwalk and picnic areas or visitors can enjoy boogie boarding, surfing and swimming in the lifeguard protected areas. With fun for the whole family, this beach makes for a getaway.

The Songs Of Summer

BY ALLISON EICHLER

AEICHLER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

After what seems like an eternity, the sun has finally crawled out of the cave it was hibernating in and is quickly warming up Long Island. Beach goers are stacking coolers and chairs in the trunks of their cars and the burgers and hot dogs are flying off of supermarket shelves. Summer is here, folks.

In preparation for daycations at the shore and backyard barbecues, here’s a playlist, including a handful of tunes that are a staple of summer, to keep vibes cheery and upbeat while soaking up the sun with friends and family.

1. “Burning Love” by Elvis Presley 2. “Saturday In the Park” by Chicago 3. “Follow You Down” by Gin Blossoms 4. “All Summer Long” by Kid Rock 5. “T-Shirt Weather” by Circa Waves 6. “Blame It On the Boogie”

by The Jacksons 7. “Swimming Pool Blues”

by Miniature Tigers 8. “Rollercoaster” by Bleachers 9. “Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffett 10. “Tonight” by Coasts 11. “All the Pretty Girls”

by Kenny Chesney 12. “The Sound of Sunshine”

by Michael Franti & Spearhead

13. “Run-Around” by Blues Traveler 14. “Ocean Man” by Ween 15. “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison 16. “Gone” by JR JR 17. “Knee Deep” by Zac Brown Band ft.

Jimmy Buffett 18. “Let’s Get Started” by Dylan Gardner 19. “Roll to Me” by Del Amitri 20. “Sweet Home Alabama”

by Lynyrd Skynyrd 21. “Your Love” by The Outfield 22. “She Moves In Her Own Way”

by The Kooks 23. “Get Me Golden” by Terraplane Sun 24. “No Story Time” by Smallpools

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s usually a nicer way to say things. For most people, it’s not typically the first way that comes to mind. But with practice in the art of diplomacy and negotiation, it gets easier to find the words. Try, “What if we did it this way instead?” and “We can talk about that later; for now, what about this?”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Success is simple. Picture how you want your life to be, and then start the planning phase. There’s a brainstorming session that belongs in there somewhere, too. Many ideas will at first seem nonlinear and irrational, but that doesn’t make them bad ideas. More is possible than you realize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wonder what your heroes would do if given your particular circumstances. While you may hypothetically ask, “What would (so-and-so) do?” you won’t follow through with any action other than the one that suits you. Though you’re curious and open-minded, the bottom line is that you think and act for yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who don’t set up expectations will not be disappointed. But they also won’t be prepared. So consider what is likely to happen. Get more information. Ask questions. Look for patterns.

Make predictions. There’s much about the week that can be won through a scientific approach.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid mixing up the order that things happen in, because the order will make a big difference. For instance, you’re not happy because it’s perfect; it’s perfect because you’re happy. Also notable: In most instances this week, you’ll be happy mainly because you decided that was your mood.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It would be easier to be unaware, but that’s not you. You’re wide-awake. So you notice the small gestures and read meaning into them. When you don’t prefer the implication, then you have to decide how much it matters: Little enough to ignore it? To minimize the impact and move on? What would be the gracious choice?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are those who believe that others need to impress them to be worthy of their attention. This is not only a spiritually ungenerous manner but also an attitude that subtly influences others to perform, try, strive and be something other than what comes naturally.

Exhausting! Refrain from any part of it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It all may seem a bit upside-down to you at times this week, but many upside-down things work just fine -- perhaps not for what they were intended, but for other things. So use your imagination.

You’re more than creative enough to see the unexpected topsy-turviness as the opportunity it truly is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The Sea-Monkeys advertised on the magazine pages seemed like smiling underwater aliens. When the package came in the mail and the directions were followed, the outcome, at the very best, was tiny live shrimp. But isn’t that still fascinating? The situation that plays out this week will follow a similar plotline.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). We hope that the truths of others align well with our own and typically see anything that threatens our beliefs as something to rectify. But is it? Through tolerance, those with different beliefs can coincide peacefully and better themselves through the compassion, tolerance and education that diversity offers.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your willingness to embody the change you want to see in the world and in yourself -- this is your superpower. It will make all of the difference for you this year. It’s not a matter of becoming stronger and muscling through with willpower; rather, it’s a softness that’s needed. You’ll relax into a new mold, into a way of being that helps you get what you’re going for with great ease. There will be many group happenings this year, but three gatherings will be especially significant, altering the course of family and friends. Truly, you’re better for knowing and helping one another!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s an accomplishment in your past that is a treasure. There’s a disappointment in your past that’s a bitter pill. And this is the week to let go of both. It may not make sense, but the glory and the bitterness are both the same, which is to say, they’re both over. It’s time to begin the next chapter. Turn the page.

Short and Sweet Kristin Ess Depth Defining Water Based Pomade In the summer, short hair can be easier to maintain than long hair, but it still deserves some styling. From pixie cut to a lob or bob, try Kristin Ess Depth Defining Water Based Pomade ($10 at Target), which builds texture and holds volume.

Curly Q

Beachy Waves

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner If you were blessed with naturally curly ringlets, humidity is your worst enemy. Eliminate frizz and lifeless curls with SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner ($10 at Target). This product won’t weigh your curls down and is especially great for those with coarse or textured hair.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray Almost everyone’s hair looks amazing coming out of the ocean, but the nagging need to shower and wash your hair ruins the moment. Achieve beachy waves with Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray ($27 at Sephora).

The spray celebrities swear by leaves a matte finish on the hair, making it gritty (a la salt from the ocean) and creates movement. It works best on dry hair, especially if your hair is fine and straight.

SUMMER PRODUCE

Cactus Leaf

Pitaya (Dragonfruit)

Kumquat

Bitter Melon

Expand Your Palate This Summer

BY CHRISTY HINKO CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

S

pecialty stores and even your grocery store are regularly adding to their produce selections and while it might seem like your produce aisle is progressive and full of variety, almost assuredly you’re missing out on hundreds of exotic and obscure fruits and vegetables from around the world.

Here are 11 that you might have never

tried or even heard of but are available right here on Long Island.

Lychee—A Chinese fruit with a tough outer skin and a pit. Peel the skin and eat the fleshy fruit, discard the pit. You can also readily find these already peeled and pitted in the canned fruit aisle at an Asian grocer.

Rambutan—Don’t let its “hairi-

ness” frighten you. This little Malaysian

delight is similar to the lychee. The fleshy fruit can be described as grapelike with a perfume subtleness. The seed can be cooked and eaten too.

Tomatillo—You’ve definitely

heard of this one and it’s probably been used in a dish that was prepared for you. Bring one home and give a try. This Mexican husk tomato can be eaten raw or cooked, and always makes a good salsa verde.

Chayote (Pear Squash)—

It’s a gourd from South America, with a great source of vitamin C. It can be boiled, stuffed, mashed, baked, fried or pickled. Cook it with or without the peel. It can be eaten raw, diced or sliced into a salad. The seed is edible.

Pitaya (Dragonfruit)—OK,

you’ve probably heard of this one too but have you really tried it? Native to South America, this cactus fruit can

It’s Storage Time!

Lychee

Napa Cabbage

Bok Choy

Sunchoke

be sweet or tart, with white or red pulp depending on the variety. Eaten raw, the pitaya is most like the texture of watermelon.

Sunchoke—Uglier than a potato,

Tomatillo

this European native is a root vegetable and can be used exactly like a potato.

Cook it, bake it, mash it. Sometimes called a Jerusalem Artichoke, it is neither from Jerusalem, nor an artichoke.

Bok Choy—Another Asian staple, also called “pak choy” or “pok choi” is a type of cabbage, but its dark leafy blades don’t form heads, instead are open and wide resembling mustard Chayote greens or celery. Great (Pear in stir-fry, or cooked Squash) down like chard and greens.

Kumquat—This is

another vaguely familiar one.

You’ve likely heard of it, but it is not common on most shelves. It looks like an orange but is the size of an olive. The peel is sweet, but the center is sour and can be eaten whole, but is mostly used for making marmalade and jelly

Rambutan

Napa Cabbage—This Chinese

staple is great raw or cooked, used as a wrap or in a soup or stir-fry. It’s also the main ingredient in Korean kimchi, pickled cabbage.

• On Site Fur Storage • Specializing in Custom Made Coats & Remodels • Experts in Fur Alterations, Re-styling & Repairs • All Work Done on Premises

Cactus Leaf—Another

cactus fruit, the prickly pear cactus leaf can be eaten cooked or raw. Remove the spines and peel back the skin; smells and tastes like green beans.

You can also boil, fry or pickle the cactus fruit.

Also widely available on Long Island, try: durian, fiddleheads, star fruit, white asparagus, persimmon, sapote or cherimoya.

You can find all of these fruits and vegetables at HMart, V&T International Market, Fairway Market, Apna Bazaar and Western Beef.

Bitter Melon—Originally from India and China, depending on the variety, this melon or gourd looks like a weird cucumber. Eaten while green, or just as it’s turning yellow. It’s flesh is crunchy and watery, similar to a cucumber or green bell pepper, but much more bitter and almost always consumed cooked in soup, stir-fry.
