As we approach the end of 2016, I would like to publicly thank all my clients who I was able to help this year. You entrusted me with either the sale of your home, purchase of your home, or sometimes both. Each time you chose me as your Realtor®, I was truly & deeply honoured. Each one of you made this year not just a success, but my most successful one in 16 years of real estate and I am forever grateful to you for that. All the early mornings and late nights were worth it every single time if it meant that you were 100% happy. That is my goal every year - to ensure that my clients are 100% happy. You are the reason why I love working in the GTA. To everyone who came out to our fifth annual Photos With Santa event, thank you! It brings joy to my heart seeing all the smiles on the children’s faces. You are the reason why I love living in South Mississauga. To my husband, thank you for your love and support! I can face anything because you are by my side. Merry Christmas to you all, and may you have a bright and prosperous New Year. If there is anything you need, I am just a phone call away.

CandyCANE

PAVLOVA

SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

• 6 egg whites

• Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace a 10 inch (25 cm) circle with a marker on the parchment, then add a 4 inch (10 cm) inner circle. When marker dries, flip it over so that the marked side is facing down.

• 1 3/4 cups (425 mL) granulated sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) white vinegar • 1 tsp (5 mL) cornstarch • 2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar • 1/4 tsp (1mL) peppermint extract (optional) • 12 to 15 mini candy canes (about 100 g) • Dark chocolate curls

• Whisk egg whites using an electric mixer until foamy. With mixer running, gradually add sugar. Increase speed to high and whisk until egg whites are glossy, thick, and hold stiff peaks; about 4 to 7 minutes. Stir vinegar with cornstarch until smooth. Whisk into egg whites. • Spoon mixture onto prepared sheet following the marker lines to create a wreath. Use the back of a large spoon to create indentations for the whipped cream. • Place pan in the oven and reduce temperature to 250°F (120°C). Bake 90 minutes or until meringue is golden and cooked through. Let cool completely. • Using an electric mixer on high, whip cream with sugar and peppermint until it forms soft peaks. Spoon into indentations in meringue. Roughly crack 4 candy canes into large pieces and sprinkle over whipped cream, then place 8 whole ones evenly apart so each serving gets a candy cane. • Find more delicious holiday recipes at www.walmart.ca/recipecentre.

FOR HOLIDAY FOODS 12

On top of buying presents for everyone and preparing the feast,

choosing which wines to serve at your holiday party can be overwhelming. Chances are you don't have a personal sommelier at your side to suggest pairings with your favourite turkey recipe. Fortunately, Jane Masters, master of wine offers a few simple insider tips for achieving an expert pairing with every meal.

F O R S A LT Y A P P E T I Z E R S ... Sparkling wines pair fairly well with salty dishes, so feel free to serve your favourite with an assortment of hors d'oeuvres. “Good sparkling wines are made in many places, with Prosecco from Italy and Spanish Cava being affordable alternatives to champagne. Other great options are sparkling wines produced in other regions of France, such as Alsace, Burgundy and the Loire,” says Masters.

FOR SEAFOOD A P P E T I Z E R S ... Seafood appetizers like oysters or smoked salmon call for zippy wines, especially when they're served with tangy dressings. To match that, any Sauvignon Blanc from France or New Zealand should do the trick. You can also go with a lesser-known but equally lively Verdejo from Spain. >>>

lifestyle

F O R T U R K E Y ... As a white meat, turkey should call for white wine. But its relative neutral taste makes for a blank canvas. So the ideal pairing will mostly depend upon the accompaniments, especially the sauce.

“I think about the FLAVOURS, their INTENSITY, and the TEXTURE of the dish,” says Masters. “Strong meats and sauces go well with robust red wines while lighter dishes pair better with lighter reds or whites. But there are no hard and fast rules - it comes down to personal tastes and sometimes you can be surprised by unusual combinations.”

F O R D E S S E R T ... “You can't go wrong with a classic PORT or a Southern French dessert wine like SAUTERNES or MONBAZILLAC,” Masters recommends.

Want to learn more about food and wine pairing? As part of their wine club membership benefits, Opimian offers the services of a wine concierge. Available via phone or email, this wine expert can help with pairing inquiries among other things so you'll never have to worry about which wine to serve at your next gathering.

PHOTOS WITH

SANTA! 01

For many years The Theresa Baird Team has hosted an evening for families to get a free photo with Santa. This year the event was held at Clarke Hall on November 28th. Tables were set with activities to keep the children occupied while they waited for their turn with Santa. The amazing Sanborg Productions took beautiful pictures. Lots of delicious treats were available. Not only was Santa there but The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who! All compliments of Theresa Baird.
