Jubling - Tempura on Masonite

Surrealist Artist Chris Duerk

Chris Duerk’s exhibition open now at the Leland Cultural Art Center STORY BY CARLA EDSTROM

T

he Leland Cultural Art Center showcases a unique artist this month. A combo retrospective and current works are on display. His unique style has evolved and changed over his artistic career and this exhibition will definitely be one to see.

Christopher Duerk began a deep rooted, life long love of making art at the age of 15. He took his first painting lessons at a store in his hometown of Baldwin, Long Island, New York. It wasn’t until a few years later

after reading a Time Life book about the life of Vincent Van Gough that he made the decision to dedicate his life to becoming an artist. After graduating high school in 1967, Duerk went to college at the New York Institute of

4 Leland Magazine /NOVEMBER 2017 / www.LelandMag.com

Technology where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1971. But like any young artist, he struggled to call one style his own. Duerk recalls, “Being a perfectionist I was seldom satisfied with my creations and often felt my shortcomings were due to a lack of technical knowledge. During my senior year I made it my mission to learn exactly “how” the Old Masters of the Renaissance crafted their magnificent pictures, and so consistently.”

His determination paid off and his dream soon became reality at age 25.

After two years of correspondence, he was invited by the famous Viennese painter Dieter Schwertberger to attend a seminar in Austria. That is where he studied the Mische technique, or mixed technique of painting, under the instruction of Ernst Fuchs, the founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. “This was a magical experience and remains the highlight of my life,” adds Duerk. In this seminar, he learned how to paint in the mixed technique using egg tempura paints and oils together. “Mísche technique is a slow, arduous process requiring the progressive build up of thin layers of paint. The beauty of the surface and the unique luminous quality is the result of applying dozens of layers of thin glaze. Their construction requires a rather architectural approach. It is also a “wet in dry” process, meaning each layer must dry before applying the next,” explained Duerk. “Dieter and I painted 12-15 hours per day for three months in Wartholz Castle situated in the foothills of the Alps,” recalls Duerk. “My mentor graciously handed over centuries old formulas and a process for painting in a scientific manner that was on the verge of extinction in the name of modernism. After it was over, I was no longer blindly struggling to reinvent the wheel. I felt that at last I really knew HOW to paint, and a universe of possibilities had opened up to me to help actualize my active imagination.”

“Eventually, I had to move on from working with this painting process. It had become too time consuming and tedious. Fantasy, imagination and the

During my senior year I made it my mission to learn exactly “how” the Old Masters of the Renaissance crafted their magnificent pictures...

techniques of the Old Masters were not considered to be on the “cutting edge” of the art scene,” he describes.

“Besides, what had once led to a spiritual awakening for me, had eventually led to spiritual impoverishment. I had hit an impasse in my development and was forced through personal crises into changing my approach to both art and life,” explains Duerk. “Believing that the only dignified way for a struggling artist to make a living was teaching, I returned to school and graduated in 1979 from Pratt Institute

Montage

with an MFA in painting and drawing.”

Duerk’s art then became more spontaneous in the 70’s and 80’s. “In dialectical opposition to my early manner of painting, my objective today is to have no objective at all other than to PLAY. My approach is to show up for the session; remain as absent minded, distracted and disinterested as possible; make haphazard decisions and random gestures with my fingers, hands or brushes; and avoid getting caught up in that terrible web of mental machinations, processes and judgments. By repeatedly taking this position, I am reminded that the less the ego is involved the more remarkable are the end results.”

Prior to his moving to the Wilmington area, Duerk was employed as a contractor for the Department of Defense stationed at the Pentagon for 12 years as a Multimedia and Graphic Design Specialist serving the Army’s Office of the Chief Information Officer/G6. He also owned and was design director for CD Graphics/Duerk Design providing design work for a large number of clients in the U.S. as well as in Denmark. He taught at Pratt

J

ean and Suzy are two peas in a pod when it comes to business. Their boutique offers local ladies the opportunity to “consign” their gently used quality clothing and accessories. They also have a variety of name brand clothes, jewelry, shoes, handbags and more... for less. They say the only place your clothes are actually “new” is on the rack. So why not stop in for a look, you just may walk out of this boutique with your “new” favorite outfit. Located in Leland - at 1107 New Pointe Blvd SUITE B12 Leland, NC (Building next to McDonalds HWY 17 in front of Walmart)

8. What is the most desirable brand(s) you carry?

Chicos and Michael Kors handbags

9. Who is your favorite designer?

Ralph Lauren

10. What was your inspiration for opening the boutique?

We’ve always wanted to run a small business that was good for the community.

Bella’s fills a need for quality clothing that has been gently loved at a good price. It still gives us the opportunity to be around clothes and to create pretty displays with the items our consignors bring in. Our Personal Investor (Suzy’s husband and Jean’s oldest son) also hoped to keep us out of stores shopping.

Jean and Suzy purchased Bella’s in March of 2017. They had to move it downstairs due to the lease expiration two weeks after they bought it. Most of the clothes were moved in a shopping cart!

We are now located in the same building on the first floor on the Walmart side of the building. We have (2) of our own parking spaces in front of the shop and we are outside the REAR door of Empire Deli.

One of the unique features of Bella’s are our displays. We never know what our stock is going to be so we create outfits from what we have to show the different ways the clothing can be put together.

It shows our buying customers how the clothes can look with the right combination of items and accessories. We have a “Little Black Dress” section and will have a special Holiday section for November and

December.

We also carry cocktail, dressy and formal wear for those occasions that may require that style of dress. Most women don’t want to wear the same dress twice to an event such as a wedding or fund raiser where they may see the same people. This gives our consignors the opportunity to “rotate” their wardrobe and recoup some of their cost and our buyers the opportunity to get a great dress at a good price for a single occasion.

FUN QUESTIONS:

Are you from Leland area – if not… where did you grow up?

Jean is originally from Charleston, WV and has lived in Eastern NC since 1970.

Suzy is originally from Elizabethton, TN and has lived in NC since 1981. Both Suzy and Jean moved to Leland in 2016.

What is number one on your bucket list?

Jean’s number 1 bucket list item is to go to NYC at Christmas and see the decorations, the Rockettes, a Broadway show and Rockefeller Center. Suzy would like to go to the Wine Country of Italy.

What is the one clothing item you cannot live without?

Jean can’t live without a good fitting bra. Suzy can’t live without fuzzy slippers.

Join us at the LCAC for our November 3rd 2017 Entertainment: The Bobby Darin Story: Beyond the Song with Phil Bruschi Although Bobby Darin has been gone for almost 40 years, his ongoing ageless talent has withstood the test of time. This charismatic, multi-talented entertainer had an amazing range with Rock, Smooth Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Country and Folk music. He learned to dance, play drums, guitar, piano, vibes and harmonica. Sammy Davis Jr., another multi-talented performer, was quoted as saying “Bobby Darin was the only person I never wanted to follow” after seeing him perform.

Phil performs many of Darin’s biggest hits.

“As Long As I’m Singing” is the name of a song by Bobby on an early album which professes his love for singing. Mr. Darin remains forever in our memory because of the body of work he left us. His fans will always be thankful as long as Bobby is still singing.

PHIL BRUSCHI’S MUSICAL PROFILE Phil Bruschi has had a long career in the entertainment business and it started at age nine when he first studied percussion as a drummer. Over the years, Phil has played all types of music from jazz to rock. He was in that small percentage of drummers who sang lead as well as backup vocals.

Phil’s love for singing continued even after stepping out in front of the

As a result of Phil’s teaching at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and involvement in the Continuing Studies area, Phil has created a variety of musical programs that are sometimes referred to as “Edu-TainMent.” It’s a mixture of education and entertainment rolled into one. In these musical biographies/programs, Phil shares information about careers of the artists and performs their songs.

He continues to study voice even today.

MUSICAL BIOGRAPHY PROGRAMS Musical Biography Programs are a combination of education and entertainment also known as “Edu-TainMent.” Phil Bruschi brings his presentation skills and vocal talent to the forefront delivering exciting information about each entertainer and style of music while singing hit songs from their career or era. Phil tells a visual story from a historical perspective. He invites the audience to participate with their own knowledge and experiences about the musical topics and uses trivia and unknown facts throughout the program. Phil sings selected songs to represent each artist and topic. The programs range from one and a half hours to two and a half hours in length.

showcase well as European military band music.[4] Although the foundation of jazz is deeply rooted within the black experience of the United States, different cultures have contributed their own experience and styles to the art form as well. Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as “one of America’s original art forms”.[5] As jazz spread around the world, it drew on different national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to many distinctive styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass-band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. In the 1930s, heavily arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz, a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style and Gypsy jazz (a style that emphasized musette waltzes) were the prominent styles. Bebop emerged in the 1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music toward a more challenging “musician’s music” which was played at faster tempos and used more

chord-based improvisation. Cool jazz developed in the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long, linear melodic lines.

The 1950s saw the emergence of free jazz, which explored playing without regular meter, beat and formal structures, and in the mid-1950s, hard bop emerged, which introduced influences from rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues, especially in the saxophone and piano playing. Modal jazz developed in the late 1950s, using the mode, or musical scale, as the basis of musical structure and improvisation. Jazz-rock fusion appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s, combining jazz improvisation with rock music’s rhythms, electric instruments, and highly amplified stage sound. In the early 1980s, a commercial form of jazz fusion called smooth jazz became successful, garnering significant radio airplay. Other styles and genres abound in the 2000s, such as Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz. source: Wikipedia

Artistry in Jazz

Fun jazzy concert at the LCAC on December 15th.

A

toe-tappin’, finger-snappin’, swinging jazzy time will be had at this rhythmic concert in December. So set you calendars and come out to the LCAC with the whole family.

ARTISTRY IN JAZZ is for musicians who love to play big band jazz. Jerry Tate organized the jazz orchestra in June 2010.

ARTISTRY IN JAZZ is a group of 21 musicians and a vocalist local to the Wilmington area. The music we perform is based on the west coast style of Stan Kenton.

His music was performed from the 40’s through the late 70’s. Our orchestra plays the original manuscript copies as recorded by the Kenton Orchestra.

Our repertoire consists of arrangements

by Stan Kenton, Lennie Niehaus, Bill Holman, Gene Roland, Bill Russo, Bill Mathieu, Hank Levy and others. Other styles performed are by Ted Heath, Perez Prado, Les Brown, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller.

JAZZY FACTS:

Jazz is a music genre that originated in African American communities of New Orleans, United States,[1] in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime.[2] Since the 1920s Jazz Age, jazz has become recognized as a major form of musical expression. It then emerged in the form of independent traditional and popular musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of African American and European American musical parentage with a performance orientation.[3] Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in West African cultural and musical expression, and in African-American music traditions including blues and ragtime, as

Brunswick Band Takes the Stage

Don’t miss “Masters of Melody” November 18th and 19th at 3pm

W

hen is comes to local bands, this one tops the cake by far. A huge group of talented musicians have been practicing long hours over the past few months to get ready for this “Masters of Melody” performance. Tickets are free, so make sure to catch one of these matinées, you’ll be glad you did. (18th at Baptist Assembly, 19th - BCC Odell Williamson Auditorium.)

Brunswick Concert Band, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit corporation dedicated to expanding the performance of instrumental music in Brunswick County, North Carolina.

The Brunswick Concert Band was founded in 1985. Membership is open to any musician who can play at least at the level of a high school band – there are no auditions. Members range from near-neophytes to educators to professionals.

Many players had not played with a group in years.

The Brunswick Big Band was created in 2005. Membership is by invitation as the instrumentation of a Big Band is very specific. Most Big Band members are members of the Concert Band as well.

Brunswick Concert Band, Inc. is a member of the Association of Concert Bands and is funded in part by grants from the Brunswick Arts Council and the North Carolina Arts Council.

MISSION STATEMENT

The principle mission of the Brunswick Bands is to support the performance of instrumental music in our county.

The most visible contributions are the various performances by the Concert and Big Bands, but members can be found performing in small ensembles, in the pit for musicals with the Brunswick Little Theater as well as in other area musical groups.

The Music Student Assistance Program is sponsored and funded by the Bands.

This program loans musical instruments to students throughout the county. These instruments have been donated to the band, and volunteers evaluate their status. If appropriate, the instruments are repaired at band expense. Please see our MSAP page for detailed information.

​Several band members assist with the music programs at South Brunswick High and Middle Schools. This helps the students realize that music can be a life-long activity and encourages the students to participate with the bands even while they are students.

The Concert Band has three basic seasons.

The Spring Season begins rehearsals in January and ends with indoor concerts in early May. This season includes music from any genre.

The Summer Season follows the Spring performance series with concerts ending by mid-July. This season favors standard outdoor concert fare such as marches.

The Fall Season begins in early September and culminates in indoor concerts in mid November, before the Thanksgiving holiday. The content is standard band mu-

sic, but will include a few pieces to usher in the holiday season.

The Brunswick Big Band performs throughout the year with a wide variety of programs and venues, both indoor and outdoors. The band is available for community and non-profit events and parties.

The program selections are made from a wide range of standard arrangements for Big Band.

The Brunswick Concert and Big Bands are dedicated to performing fabulous music across Brunswick County – and beyond.

We never charge admission to our concerts – they are all FREE to the public.

MUSIC STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

In 2009 the Brunswick Concert Band founded the MSAP or Music Student As-

sistance Program. The goal of this program is to provide opportunity for all middle and high school students in Brunswick County to participate in music programs by loaning gently used instruments to students who might otherwise be unable to afford the expense of renting. Through generous donations of used instruments by members of our community we currently have over 90 instruments being played by students in the area.

Persons with an instrument in good playing condition and for which they have no further use are asked to consider donating it to our MSAP. Because the Brunswick Concert Band is a 501 (c) (3) organization, the value of the instrument is tax-deductible, and donators can enjoy knowing they have helped a young person get on the road to a rewarding and exciting career as a student musician.

For more information and to donate, ​ contact Monte McMichael at montemc@ atmc.net or Linda Dorman at k3gma@ec.rr. com. Or send us a message on our Facebook page, Brunswick Bands North Carolina!

Our financial support comes from donations and our Friends. If you have enjoyed hearing our music at a concert, private event, or even just by listening to the videos on this web page, we would appreciate whatever donation you feel you can make.

Please send your tax deductible check payable to “Brunswick Concert Band, Inc.” to:

Brunswick Bands PO Box 10163 Southport, NC 28461 We appreciate your support.

savor Family Restaurant

P.T.’s Grille in Leland offers fresh made to order meals, perfect dining for the family!

STORY BY AMI BROWN

L

ocated at 1035 Grandiflora Dr, in Leland, this franchise is not your typical fast food chain. Fresh - made-to -oder meals, community spirit, family atmosphere and good old fashioned customer service make this a restaurant you will want to come to, again and again!

Owner, Aaron Hyatt gave me the scoop on what makes PT’s Olde Fashioned Grille different from all the other Leland restaurants. He said, “Probably the biggest difference with our burgers is that they are always fresh and never frozen. They are hand pattied every day with our patented oval plate and then delivered directly to the stores. Basically the meat is a couple hours old compared to other restaurants that are weeks old.”

When it comes to experience, Aaron is no newbie! He started working at the original Pt’s when he was only 19.

He worked for the original owner for 10 years and then got his own store.

“I have been with Pt’s 20 years now.

As far as my background goes while I was working at PT’s I graduated from UNCW with a finance degree. I was very close to accepting a job with BB&T but I just couldn’t see myself sitting behind a desk for 8 hours every day. I am more of a grunt, get dirty kind of worker than an office worker.” He tells me. We are all glad he chose PT’s!

The restaurants are franchises now but when he got his, it was more of a handshake agreement. “Even though they are franchises, we are all still a family. Everyone that has a pt’s in our area either worked for the original owner or know him personally. The first franchised store is in Goldsboro and there are several locations coming soon around the state.” He included.

He said, “My favorite sandwich is the chicken. It’s marinated in Golden Italian dressing for at least 24 hours. Of course, I love our burgers but after 20 years I have to switch it up once and a while.”

“All the PT’s strive to get to know our regulars by name and we also take care of our regulars by buying their food fairly often. To us that is the best form of advertising when a regular customer comes up to pay and you say no I am taking care of your meal today. I really appreciate you coming in so much.”

Aaron is also involved in the community and loves to give back with fundraisers and sponsorships. Like - Bellville Elementary, football and baseball teams for North Brunswick High, American Red Cross for the victims of tornadoes in Oklahoma, Brunswick county Animal Shelter, Carolina Boxer Rescue and many more. “My daughter is in first grade at Bellville so I just got involved in their reading program by donating a 1000 free meals to the kids as a reward for excelling in reading or anything else the teacher wants to reward.” he said.

The atmosphere, it is definitely family oriented where kids can play corn hole

outside or color on a dry erase wall in our KIDS Corner. Its also a place that you can sit at the bar and watch your team while you eat a great burger and drink a cold beer., PT’s is all about customer satisfaction - after listening to his customers’ comments, he added a Chef Salad, a chicken tender salad and a ham sandwich to the menu.

“We will make your food however you want it. All you have to do is tell us. If you want an Atkins salad with an Olde Fashioned burger on it or you don’t want your bun toasted or don’t want seasoning on your fries. Whatever it is we will do our best to accommodate your needs.” He adds. “Please, Please, Please let us know if something is wrong!! We will fix it but we can’t fix it if we don’t know about it. It doesn’t happen often but I want everyone that leaves my door to be happy and satisfied. I really appreciate those that have supported me for the last 9 years. We opened on the fourth of July 9 years ago so every anniversary I throw a big party , I do a buy one get one free, live music all day, corn hole tournament etc.”

When I asked about favorites, he told me. “Our best seller is our burger. We have won best burger for over 20 years by encore magazine. A close second is the chicken.

Another staple of Pt’s is our fries. They are hand cut every day and soaked in water. We have it down to a science. Sometimes the potatoes need to be soaked in hot water sometimes warm or cold. We use a scale of 1 to 10 but it is based on the starch level in the potato.” Sounds

Owner, Aaron Hyatt and Meadow, his beautiful 6-yr-old daughter at the Father/Daughter Dance

like perfect fries to me. Make sure to stop in to have a burger, or chat to Aaron and let him know you read about PT’s in the Leland Magazine! I’ll be in soon for that yummy chicken for sure! **See menu on following page**

Joanne Geisel’s soft landscapes capture light, movement and unique coastal colors STORY BY AMI BROWN, PHOTOS BY JOANNE GEISEL

I

recently met Joanne, local Leland resident, at her exhibition at Lantana’s Gallery in Southport, and I was impressed with the quality, the soft colors and the lovely interpretation of our local scenic landscapes. She was delighted to share her story for this Art Beat... here’s her story!

Joanne Geisel, Leland artist describes herself as an Impressionist painter who captures her personal “impressions” of the scene or object on canvas. It is the light, the color, the feelings of the place that excite her.

She particularly enjoys oil painting

outdoors. Nevertheless when she is in her studio and works from her photos, she recalls the impressions of the day and works to recreate them in order to share her discoveries with the viewer.

Joanne is a lifelong painter with a degree in art education and a master’s

Gallery, Wilmington, Lantana’s, Southport and All About Art, Bald Head Island. She teaches oil painting at the Leland Cultural Center and at the Cameron Art Museum School and also conducts workshops for the local art associations.

For the month of October, she was the featured artist at Lantana’s, 113 South Howe Street, Southport. She will be the judge for the Oak Island Art Guild for their 2017 Arts by the Shore annual show November 3-5 3003 Oak Island Drive. She encourages artists to exhibit. “It is always a great show and a wonderful opportunity for emerging and experienced artists to show their unique styles and perspectives.

art beat “I enjoy oil painting “plein air”, directly from nature.

It is the challenge of painting outdoors that I find particularly fascinating, because of the opportunity to deeply appreciate and connect with the life and beauty of my subject. My goal is to capture the unique light, color, and atmosphere of the subject matter and my emotional reaction to it. Additional interests are painting portraits, the human figure and still lifes. Through my paintings, I attempt to bring the viewer to a greater appreciation and, in some cases, a different perspective on what they see in the natural environment. “

community Keeping it Local

Buying local is important to community for many reasons

T

il the Season! Black Friday is almost here and you know what that means? Crowded shops and bargain buys. This year think about shopping local - utilze all those great small businesses, family owned shops and local grocers. Buying local means investing in your own community not to mention UNIQUE and one-of-a-kind gifts! BUYING LOCAL IS SUPPORTING YOURSELF TOO. Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally-owned business, rather than a nationally-owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers, and farms — continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

KEEP OUR COMMUNITY UNIQUE Where we shop, where we eat and have fun — all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Our tourism businesses also benefit.

“When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” – Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust

REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation, and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe.

This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss, and pollution.

kitchen Three Ways to Cook Turkey Throwing a Twist on Tradition STORY BY: KRIS BEASLEY

I

f I close my eyes, I can smell the mouth-watering aroma of the Thanksgiving turkey roasting in the oven at my folks’ house. I am not sure if there is a better smell on earth! In fact, I think they should come out with a seasonal candle that smells like turkey and dressing!

While nothing can replace my mother’s roasted bird, I thought it would be interesting to research some other ways to cook a turkey and perhaps discover a new method and tradition.

1. SIMPLE ROASTED TURKEY

• 9-pound turkey, raw • 10 quarts brine (recipe below) Place the turkey in 20-quart container.Pour the cold brining liquid over the turkey and let turkey brine for 10 hours.

When it has brined 10 hours, remove from the liquid and place on a tray to dry out.

Place the turkey on a roasting rack on a tray and cover with lid or tin foil. Place in oven. Roast at 350°F until an internal temperature of 165°F is achieved. Roughly 15 minutes per pound. *Baste with butter every 30 minutes. Uncover to brown the turkey the last 30 minutes or so.

TURKEY BRINE (YIELDS: 6 PORTIONS) • • • • • • • • • •

4 quarts water 6 quarts ice water 1 bunch thyme 1 bunch parsley 1 ½ cups kosher salt 5 lemons cut in half 2 bay leaves ½ cup honey 2 garlic heads, cut in half crosswise 3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns

EQUIPMENT FOR BRINING

• 12-quart pot • 20-quart container In the 12-quart pot, combine 4 quarts of water with the remaining ingredients in a large pot.

Cover and bring to a boil. Stir until salt is dissolved, then remove from the heat.

Transfer to 20-quart container and add the 6 quarts of ice water. Let cool completely.

Lower the turkey into the brine and refrigerate for 24 hours.

SIMPLE ROASTED TURKEY

2. DEEP FRIED TURKEY WITH CAJUN RUB

CHOOSING A TURKEY

Choose a small bird approximately 6-8 pounds. Anything larger will not fully cook and may also cause safety issues such as lowering and lifting from the hot oil.

Safety First: I cannot stress enough here about the safety factors involved in this dish, so please follow the safety tips carefully, stay safe and enjoy this dish with a difference.

I have included a list of all the required equipment, notes about the oil required along with the cooking method and the recipes for various dry rubs for you to add an extra twist each time you cook your bird.

Location and Safety: Place the gas burner on level dirt or grassy area, ensuring that it is stable.

Never fry a turkey indoors, in a garage or in any other structure attached to a building. Avoid frying on wood decks, which could catch fire, and concrete, which can be stained by the oil.

TURKEY PREPARATION

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

• Extra large saucepan / stockpot / pasta pot • Portable gas burner • Large food basket • Food thermometer for the oil temperature • Oven cloths / mitts • Fire extinguisher • 2 - 4 house bricks or similar • Large tray with sand • Oil Choose an oil / fat that has a high smoking point. It will need to be stable at 350 degrees - peanut, canola, safflower will work.

To exactly measure the amount of oil required:

DEEP FRIED TURKEY 1. Place the turkey into the pot 2. Add water until it covers the turkey by approx. 2 inches. The level of the water should be at least 6 inches from the top 3. Measure the amount of water used, and use that amount of oil Safety note: Be sure to thoroughly drain and dry off the turkey, inside and out. Any water remaining will cause a safety hazard later when immersing it into the hot oil.

The turkey may be left un-seasoned or a dry rub used for extra flavor. These are best rubbed into the bird a day or two ahead to allow the flavors to penetrate and develop. Rub the seasoning into the cavity and under the skin for maximum effect and to minimize the contamination of the oil.

Do not inject the turkey with liquid marinades, as this only adds moisture content and can cause excess bubbling of the oil as it cooks and can be a major fire hazard if not completed properly.

Do not stuff the turkey.

Cooking: It cannot be stressed enough that the turkey must be thoroughly dry before commencing any further. Even if you dried it before, check and pat dry inside and out once again.

Place the oil into the pot and place over a medium heat - depending on the amount of oil used, this will take up to 1 hour. Once the oil has come to temperature, place the turkey in the basket and slowly lower into the fat.

Cook for approximately 5-10 minutes per pound After two-thirds of the estimated cooking time, carefully remove the turkey and check it, this can be done by the use of a meat thermometer (the temperature at the core of the thickest part of the breast must reach 160 degrees).

kitchen • White Pepper 2 TB • Sweet Basil 2 TB • Smoked Paprika 1 1/2 TB • Cayenne Pepper 1 TB • Bay Leaves-ground 2 tsp • File Powder 2 tsp Combine all ingredients thoroughly

COOKING TIPS

SMOKED TURKEY ON THE GRILL

Alternatively cut the skin between the leg and the breast and carefully pull apart slightly, look for any signs of pinkness or rawness at the thigh joint. If present repeat with the other leg and slowly place back into the oil to complete the cooking by separating the skin in this way the heat now penetrate to the thigh joint and cook it without over cooking the breast.

When cooked, turn off the heat source.

Carefully remove the basket and allow the excess fat to drain away. A couple of bricks placed on the ground are ideal for resting the basket on, to allow it to drain.

A shallow tray of sand is ideal for catching the dripping oil; it makes for easy removal and keeps your area clean.

Additional Safety Tips: Never leave the oil heating when unattended.

Never leave the turkey cooking when unattended.

Don't allow children or pets anywhere near the cooking area.

When cooked, turn off the heat source before removing the basket - this ensures any dripping oil will not catch fire and set alight the whole pot of oil.

Allow the oil to cool completely before moving the pot, disposing, straining or storing of the oil.

Immediately wash hands, utensils, equipment and surfaces that have come in contact with raw turkey.

Turkey should be consumed immediately and leftovers stored in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking and used within two days.

CAJUN SPICE RUB • • • •

Sea Salt Flakes 1/2 cup Onion Powder 3 TB Garlic Powder 3 TB Black Pepper 2 TB

TURKEY FUN FACTS: • •

• • • • •

Adjust the cayenne to suit your own taste.

File powder is dried, ground sassafras leaves, also known as filé or gumbo filé, (pronounced fee-lay). It is used frequently in Creole and Cajun cooking. First known use was by the Choctaw Indians of Louisiana. It is used as a seasoning and primarily thickening agent in gumbo and has a wonderfully pungent and aromatic flavor. *When added to gumbo never add it while it is cooking, add at the end when the gumbo is off the fire (it is best when you sprinkle it on, cover the pot and let it sit for 15 minutes). If brought back to a boil it will turn stringy.

3. SMOKED TURKEY ON THE GRILL • • • • • •

1 Turkey (14lb or smaller) 3/4 tsp Salt and Pepper- each 6 sprigs Fresh Sage 1/3 cup White Wine Vinegar 1/3 cup Vegetable oil 2 tbsp Chopped fresh Sage, Rosemary, Thyme and Parsley - each • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

FEELING INSPIRED THEN TRY THESE EXTRAS

Apple Wood or other wood chips (fruit woods tend to work well with turkey) to add flavor - soak for 30 minutes, drain well, place in smoker box under grills for tremendous smoke flavor.

Stuff the body cavity as you would for roasting in the oven (adds time, adds flavor to). Anything will do, but here’s a good recipe: Combine 2 cups chopped onion, 1 chopped granny smith apple, 1 tablespoon chopped sage, ½ tsp salt and

½ tsp pepper. Stuff bird.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse inside and out and then pat dry. Place sage sprigs in cavity. Skewer neck skin to back. Using kitchen string, tie legs together and wings to body.

2. In bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, chopped sage and mustard; set aside.

3. Heat 1 burner of a 2-burner barbecue grill or the 2 outside burners of a 3-burner barbecue grill to medium (if you have more than three burners – just make sure you’re keeping the outside of the barbecue warm and the middle of the barbecue cool).

4. Place foil drip pan under unlit burner(s). This foil pan will fill with the drippings, which make delicious, smoky gravy. Ensure that the heat from the rest of the barbecue is not too close to the drip pan otherwise your drippings will bubble, evaporate and possibly burn.

5. Place turkey – breast side down - on greased grill over unlit burner(s), cover breasts with foil (very important – it keeps the breast meat from drying – white meat cooks faster than dark, so the foil slows the cooking).

6. Close lid and cook, brushing every 45 minutes with vinegar mixture and adjusting heat to keep temperature between 250 and 300 degrees for 3 ½ to 4 hours or until meat thermometer (remote or otherwise) inserted in thigh registers 180 degrees.

7. Remove the foil from the turkey breast after 2 1/2 hours of roasting.

8. Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil (the whole bird this time) and let stand for at least 20 minutes before carving.1

Benjamin Franklin would have preferred the turkey to be America’s official bird rather than the bald eagle, which Franklin felt had a “bad character”.

The wishbone that so many of us break on Thanksgiving vying for luck is actually called “furcula” (little fork). Why do they have these bones? The furcula is thought at least in part to store energy during flight during a half wing stroke and then release it back.

Turkeys have a tail that is considered a delicacy in many countries. The turkey tail is very fatty and a single turkey tail can have up to 200 calories (almost all from fat) depending on size!

Wild turkeys are powerful and dramatically different than domestic. A wild turkey can run up to 25 mph (faster than Usain Bolt over a full 100 meters) and fly up to 55 mph.

Domestic birds are sadly more akin to a blob and cannot even fly. But don’t piss off a wild turkey!

Young male and female turkeys are called jakes and jennies. They grow up to be toms and hens.

The turkey and the octopus have something interesting in common. They change color depending on their emotions! Turkey heads can be red, white, pink, blue, or gray.

There are an estimated 10 million wild turkeys in America in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.

cheers 3 Cheers for Pumpkin Beers

NEW BELGIUM VOODOO RANGER SPECIAL RELEASE ATOMIC PUMPKIN 6.4% ABV 10 IBU

The low down and expert advice on the tastiest gourd inspired beers just in time for Fall.

STORY BY JEFFREY STITES

B

eer is a simple thing—water, malted barley, hops and yeast.

The Bavarians decided to codify that definition of beer with the Reinheitsgebot, known to us Americans as the German Beer Purity Law, way back in 1516.

One has to wonder if this law was in response to a similar set of circumstances as we have here today, with brewers putting whatever they happen to cross paths with that day in their brews. We have everything from honey beers and berry beers to coffee beers and jalapeno beers. It gets to be too much sometimes.

I can see where the old Bavarian king was coming from. I too generally prefer my beer to be beer-flavored. But I have a soft spot for pumpkin beer.

Maybe it’s my Halloween birthday, maybe it’s my love of pumpkin pie, maybe it’s just a bit of going with the flow, but I find the seasonal influx of pumpkin beers, usually flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves or allspice, to be a welcome sign of autumn.

I’ve sampled seven pumpkin and spice infused brews for you this month:

BLUE MOON HARVEST PUMPKIN WHEAT 5.7% ABV 16 IBU

My Take: This is Ballast’s Piper Down Scottish Ale with pumpkin and spices added. I’ve never had Piper Down, but I’ll be looking for it. It’s delicious. Trouble is, it’s a bit too hearty for the pumpkin to come through at all. I did get a nice whiff of pumpkin, but couldn’t really taste any at all. I’m not upset though, because the ale itself is top notch.

SOUTHERN TIER BLACKWATER SERIES WARLOCK IMPERIAL STOUT 10% ABV 40 IBU

The Label Says: “Brewed With Pumpkins and Natural Flavor” “Contains: 2-Row pale malt, caramel malt, black malt, munich malt, pureed pumpkin, magnum hops, sterling hops, natural pumpkin spice flavor” My Take: This is a great Imperial Stout, but there is much more chocolate and coffee flavor than pumpkin. I am beginning to think that in these darker beers, the pumpkin lends more to the feel, the

The Label Says: “Ale brewed with real pumpkin and spices” My Take: This was my introduction to pumpkin beers many moons ago, and I still enjoy it very much. It doesn’t taste particularly pumpkin-y, but the spices (nutmeg in particular) come though loud and clear. It pours a nice amber color and the spice just seems to fit in really well with the toasted malts and wheat base. It’s simple, but it works.

Ballast Point Pumpkin Down 5.8% ABV The Label Says: “Scottish Ale with Pumpkin” 34 Leland Magazine /NOVEMBER 2017 / www.LelandMag.com

thickness almost, than it does to the flavor. It seems to make the beers robust, which is a good thing. Hooray pumpkin.

DOGFISH HEAD PUNKIN ALE 7% ABV 28 IBU

The Label Says: “Our fall favorite, full-bodied brown ale is brewed with real pumpkin, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon & nutmeg” My Take: I’m not so sure about the “brown ale” part, it’s much lighter even than the Blue Moon, but this is another fine brew. Punkin is lighter and more carbonated than the others I’ve tried so far.

Still not much pumpkin flavor, but the cinnamon comes through and gives this brew a nice warm finish that feels just right for the autumn.

COTTONWOOD PUMPKIN 5.3% ABV 5.2 IBU

The Label Says: “This dry ale uses cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger brewed with real pumpkin and a blend of North American and British malts to give Mom’s pumpkin pie some serious competition. A fall favorite skillfully brewed by Foothills.”

My Take: Skillfully brewed indeed. This is the first real pumpkin flavor I’ve detected in a beer and it really works well.

The pumpkin is subtle, but it’s there and blended with the spices and moderate carbonation producing a truly delicious beer. It’s on the lighter side, a bit darker than the Dogfish Head though. Let’s hear it for the Old North State, Foothills Brewery in Winston-Salem has a winner!

The Label Says: “Pumpkin Ale featuring cinnamon and habanero chili peppers for just the right amount of heat.”

My Take: Think chili peppers are a good thing to put in your pumpkin beer?

No, no you don’t. And you’re right. This beer is the lightest in color and beer flavor I’ve tested so far. The pumpkin is undetectable and, to be honest, so is the beer. This is a liquid that is neither refreshing nor interesting enough to make you not care that it isn’t refreshing.

To be fair, if chili pepper beers are your thing (and that makes you weird, but I’m not judging) this might appeal to you.

The heat from the pepper hits you as an aftertaste a second or two after you’re swallowed an otherwise bland brew.

My son suggested that maybe this could be an ingredient rather than a drink. You might be able to marinate your meat in it for barbeque, or maybe make a sauce. I don’t know. It has to serve some purpose, but as for me I’m pouring it down the drain.

NEW HOLLAND BREWING ICHABOD PUMPKIN ALE 4.5% ABV 26 IBU

The Label Says: “Ichabod combines malted barley and real pumpkin with cinnamon and nutmeg in a delicious and inviting brew. After dinner, try it with your favorite dessert.”

“Pairings: Roasted poultry, root vegetables, peanut sauce, and carroway” My Take: Ichabod Ale smells like Thanksgiving. It’s a nice amber color and a little on the cloudy side. It is the second beer I’ve tried that has a noticeable pumpkin flavor. The pumpkin is complimented by some cinnamon spice that really makes me think the label has a good idea; this WOULD be a great after dinner beer. It’s also a good before dinner beer. I imagine drinking one during dinner wouldn’t be bad either. It’s a nice ale, nicely tuned to the autumn season.

I am NOT pouring this one down the drain.

Woodchuck Fall Cider: Apple Pie

Yummy Apple Pie made with Cider makes the perfect Fall Dessert

H

andcrafted with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of white oak, this elegant beverage reflects everything about the classic Vermont season. Alone, this cider is a great addition to your football chili Sundays, the occasional pulled pork feasts, and that trail mix at the top of your sunset hike. We’ve decided to take it a step further than just the usual food pairings. It’s time for the Woodchuck Fall Cider Apple Pie where the Fall Cider becomes an ingredient. With every bite, a sweet and spicy flavor overtakes your taste buds. Combining the seasonal cider with the apples of your choice, try our fun new recipe for some extra zest! Guaranteed to please everyone. I found something I know you are going to love - and super simple too!

INGREDIENTS:

For the Crust: 2 ½ cups of flour 2 sticks of softened unsalted butter 1/2 tsp. salt 8-10 tbsp. ice water Filling: 4 ½ cups of peeled, and sliced apples 1 cup of Woodchuck Seasonal Fall Cider 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. salt 3 tbsp. cornstarch Preheat the oven to 425° F

Preparing the Crust: Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl, and stir until aerated. Take the softened butter, and with a pastry blender or your fingers, cut and mix the butter into the dry mixture until it’s in pea-sized pieces that are slightly yellow in color.

From here, start with 5 tbsp. of water and mix. Continue to add the water and mix in until the dough sticks together. (The

water amount will vary based on your water source, type of flour and butter you’re used, etc. Don’t overwater or overwork the dough, or it’ll become tough) Once the dough is sticking together, separate into 2 equal parts, and shape into 2 flat disks. Put both parts of dough in a bowl, cover with parchment paper, and stick into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

PREPARING THE FILLING:

Combine the sliced apples, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Let sit, and marinate for about 10 minutes.

After the apples have finished sitting, In a large stovetop pot, combine 3/4 cup of Woodchuck Season Fall Cider, the brown sugar, and sugar. Bring the pot to a boil, and stir frequently.

One the sugars have been dissolved, add the seasoned apples, and boil for about 7 minutes.

In a separate bowl, stir the 1/4 of the remaining Fall Hard Cider, vanilla extract, and the 3 tbsp. of cornstarch until it forms a paste. After the sugars have been dissolved in the pot, add the cornstarch/cider concoction to the pot, and boil for sever-

al more minutes with continued stirring.

Once the filling is thick and all ingredients dissolved, take off the burner and let sit for about 20 minutes.

more, take the pie out of the oven, let cool for about 10 minutes, prep the vanilla ice cream and sharp cheddar cheese, and devour!

ROLLING OUT THE DOUGH:

On a flat surface, generously cover with flour. Take the first ball of dough from the fridge, and flatten on the floured surface.

Roll the dough into a circle that spans about 12 inches, making sure both sides are neither sticky nor clumped. Lightly fold the dough in half to place into the pie pan.

Make sure the dough properly fits, and mold to its shape.

Take the 2nd ball of dough out of the fridge, and follow the same steps, except roll out to about 11 inches. At this time, place the prepared filling into the doughlined pie pan. Take the rolled out dough and place on top of the filling.

On the edge of the pie, remove the excess, and pinch the dough together to your desired look. Cut several vents (3 minimum) into the top of your pie, and be creative!

(We would have designed the woodchuck, but were too anxious to try this treat! The apple had to do.)

Since the filling may still be warmer than the crust, put into the fridge for about 20 minutes. This will bring the whole pie to an even temperature.

Once ready, stick the pie into the oven at 425° F for 20 minutes. Then turn the temperature down to 375° F and bake for another 30-35 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is a nice golden brown. Once you just can’t handle it any-

health Baby Boomers Beware 1 in 3 are at risk for Hep-C STORY BY LESLIE RESCHLEY

W

ere you born between 1945 and 1965? If so, take note. An asymptomatic illness may be lurking in your body. In fact, 1 in 30 “Baby Boomers” are positive for this illness translating to approximately 75 million Americans. What is this disease you ask?

It is the Hepatitis C virus.

Hepatitis C is an often asymptomatic liver disease caused but a virus named Hepatitis C. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. Thus far, there are 3 types of Hepatitis viruses-A, B and C. Because of the lack of symptoms associated with Hepatitis C and the estimated number of American adults who unknowingly have the disease, this article will focus on Hepatitis C or Hep C as it is commonly called.

Acute symptoms of Hepatitis C typically occur from 1-3 months after exposure and last from 2 weeks to 3 months.

These symptoms may be fatigue, fever, muscle aches, nausea and/or jaundice. In fact, many people have been exposed to the Hep C virus and their immune system was able to clear the disease. However, approximately 55-85% of the people exposed go on to develop a chronic disease of infection but it is unknown to them as

they have no symptoms! In fact, years can pass as the liver becomes increasingly damaged moving through cirrhosis or scarring to liver cancer and finally liver failure and death. Hepatitis C is not routinely tested on physical exams.

How does Hep C occur? It is a blood borne disease meaning this virus is transmitted through blood exposure. It is not spread through food, water, casual contact or even the sharing of food utensils or drinking from the same container as an infected person. It is most commonly found in those who received blood transfusions before 1992, received transfusions of clotting factors (a blood product) before 1987, have a piercing or tattoo with a contaminated instrument, injected or inhaled illegal drugs or were a health care worker exposed to the blood through a needle stick etc.

Initially attributed to the drug use scene and the sharing of dirty needles for injection, this disease has been stigmatized.

However, recent studies show though that there is no reason for this stigma. In fact, some theorize that the disease began as far back as World War II with blood transfusions and injections that occurred with unsafe medical practices. Thus, many people born in the range of 1945-1965 may have received a blood product that was tainted with Hepatitis C as the virus was not even looked for in the blood products. In addition, medical syringes may have been reused or improperly sterilized leading to further contamination to others.

Although not routinely screened for as a part of a normal medical physical, there is currently a movement across the USA for people especially of the “Baby Boomer” age group to obtain a test to check for presence of the virus. This is done through a blood specimen. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control recommends testing in the age group born between 1945-1965 as they are FIVE TIMES more likely to be infected by the Hep C virus. Further studies may be needed if the test is positive to determine if liver inflammation (cirrhosis) or cancer is present. Because it is a disease that has no symptoms until it is advanced,

testing is encouraged even if there are no symptoms. Medical science has recently developed anti-viral medications with the goal of treatment a cure for the disease.

In fact, it is estimated that 95% of the people treated can achieve a cure. Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B currently have vaccines for prevention but as of yet, there is no approved Hepatitis C vaccine.

Please contact your medical professional if you may be at risk for Hepatitis C. Early detection through a simple blood test may save your life and prevent complications!

This course meets the criteria for Initial Lead Safety, Removal, and Paint.
