SUMMER FUN with FRESH FRUIT

PIZZA W

hen it comes to summer desserts, if you want to really razzle dazzle guests at your next party, think pizza - fruit pizza, that is. Kids and adults alike are wowed by this special dessert. And it couldn't be simpler to make.

Using a sugar cookie base, spread with a cream cheese-sour cream topping, arrange colourful red and black grapes, along with kiwi slices, in a pretty pattern. To serve, slice it just as you would a regular pizza. If you want to add extra fun to your party, make several small personal-size pizzas and let kids get creative with their own designs using the grapes and kiwi. Don't be surprised if adults decide to jump in and decorate their own pizzas, too. After all, who wants to miss out on summer fun?

School Life STREETSVILLE

SECONDARY SCHOOL April was another great month for the students at Streetsville Secondary School. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby season finally kicked off and the Senior Boys won their most recent game 29-13. The Junior Girls also placed 3rd out of 8 teams at their tournament at Sheridan College.

Way to go Tigers!

In early April, Canadian author Eric Walters came to speak about the art of writing to English classes and members of the White Pine Reading Club. Walters, who has written over 90 young adult novels, shared with students what the life of an author entails and what inspires him.

At the end of May, the school will be having its annual anti-bullying awareness Pink Week, which will involve a different spirit day every day of the week. The week will end with a barbecue featuring live music.

The Interact Club was busy planning their first charity garage sale, which took place on April 30th. All proceeds went towards helping indigenous women in crisis. Donations were accepted and, along with the sale of many great items, the Saturday morning featured kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities and a number of Streetsville Rotarians serving a pancake breakfast for members of the community to enjoy.

As the school year is quickly coming to an end, students were able to take their minds off of any stress with the dodgeball activity night.

Teams went head to head in a round robin and eventually one team came out on top as the winner. The night was filled with lots of fun and excitement!

Part two of the Internet Safety series will be taking place on May 12th at 7pm and will feature Key Note speaker Dr. Karris del Rosario, who is back by popular demand after speaking to a packed house last year about we can help our children deal with stress. All are welcome to this fee event, although, we do ask that students under the age of 16 not come due to the sensitive nature of the material covered.

Dear The Wine Ladies,

ASK

As a bit of a novice when it comes to wine I discovered recently at a wedding how much I enjoy a glass of Champagne! I soon realized that this bubbly is a little out of my budget and have since been introduced to Prosecco from Italy, which I thoroughly enjoy! This delightful bubbly, much more affordable has quickly become somewhat of a staple in our household and I’d like to learn a little more about it, including my confusion as to whether it’s a grape, or a place? Does it have to come from a specific part of Italy to be called Prosecco, as I have learned is the case with Champagne and is it made the same way? Where can I find a rosé Prosecco, another of my favourites? Thanks Wine Ladies for your help, I am looking forward to learning more and enjoying more of this bubbly as spring approaches.

Hillary - Mississauga, ON

THE WINE LADIES Q&A Dear Hillary, Congratulations, you have now joined the ever growing ranks of wine lovers, whether novice or not, smitten with this lively, delectable and affordable bubbly! Thanks for the great questions too, in fact there does seem to be a little confusion out there with respect to this ever popular sparkling wine.

One of the main attractions of Prosecco, besides it having a lively, zesty and cheerful flavour, is of course its affordability, in contrast to Champagne which can be explained partially at least in the way these two sparkling wines are produced. Champagne undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle, which is costly, takes time and is labor intensive, while Prosecco’s secondary fermentation takes place in a large stainless steel tank, much more economically, known as the Charmat method. Of course there are other reasons why Champagne fetches the prices it does, and all very well deserved indeed.

LOOKING FOR A ROSÉ PROSECCO? You can find a rosé sparkling wine, otherwise known as spumante, or a rosé frizzante but because Prosecco must be a white wine and Pinot Noir is not among any of the permitted grapes for making Prosecco, this will not be possible. There are however some absolutely delectable rosé Spumantes on the market, which do hail from this unique region of Friuli.

Hummingbird Cake, which paired beautifully with the Prosecco.

We recently had the opportunity to interview Nicola Pittaro, of Pitars winery, a fourth generation, historic and stunning winery located in Friuli, who was visiting here showcasing his wines.

In terms of where Prosecco must be made in order to be called Prosecco, you are right, just as is the case with Champagne, this sparkling wine must come exclusively from one of two wine growing regions in north eastern Italy which are Veneto and FriuliVenezia Giulia. In fact the name comes from the Italian village of Prosecco near Trieste which is the capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Curiously Prosecco is also the name of the wine, and was until recently the name of the grape. Due to a change in regulation in 2009 the “Glera” grape which is a long standing synonym for Prosecco was officially recognized as the proper grape name used to identify this iconic Italian export.

Nicola treated us to an extensive tasting of a suburb line up of sparkling wine. We sampled their Prosecco, as well as their Pitars Rosé Spumante, which was elegant, delicate, dry with hints of strawberry and raspberry, very delicious. They also produce a sparkling wine using one of the indigenous grapes of the region, the Ribolla Gialla, also delightful. If you would like more information on the various aspects of Prosecco, either on the region or on the wines, please tune in to our radio show www.connectmeradio.com and get the scoop from Nicola himself. The three above mentioned wines are available by the way here in Ontario, through VDF Wine Importers Inc. located right here in Mississauga. Cheers.
