Do You Make New Year’s Resolutions?

By Sarah Wright Happy New Year! 2019 will be the best year yet, right? At least that’s what we all hope for. Many people think of January 1st as the perfect time for a fresh start. After all the indulgences of the holidays, it seems natural to want to turn over a new leaf and cleanse our lives a little. Although people in other parts of the world make resolutions, they’re most popular in the West, with common goals including getting healthier, spending less money, thinking more positively, being more charitable, spending more time with family, quitting a bad habit, learning a new skill, or perhaps even finding a new job.

If you want to make some New Year’s resolutions right here in the Lakes Region, you can start by deciding to get out and enjoy some fresh air and exercise this winter vs. hibernating! The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness offers some great winter programs, such as learning about birds and why and how Science Center staff do bird banding, as well as events where families can walk the Center’s trail in the winter to learn how resident animals live during the winter months.

(Call 603-968-7194 for information.)

The Squam Lakes Association has a great winter hike that will get you moving and give you some great views as well. The winter hike takes place on January 9 and will take you up Mt. Livermore and over some great trails.

How did the idea of making resolutions get started? Would you believe it all began about 4,000 years ago?

Yes, it supposedly started many years ago with the ancient Babylonians.

However, their new year began in midMarch, when the crops were planted.

During the big, 12-day religious festival they called Akitu, the Babylonians

made promises to the gods (specifically Marduk, the patron deity of the city) to pay off their debts and return anything they had borrowed. If the Babylonians kept to their word, the gods would bestow favor on them for the coming year. If not - well, they did not want to find out what would happen!

Even the king joined in by reaffirming his right to rule the people as a divine representative in a symbolic ceremony.

The high priest would then determine if the king could rule for another year.

Later, in ancient Rome, emperor

Julius Caesar established January 1st as the beginning of the new year, and in 46 B.C. officially moved the New Year’s celebration from March to January. Named for Janus, the two-faced god often depicted over doorways and archways, January was significant for the Romans. The two faces of Janus represented the ability to look back to the previous year, while also looking ahead to the future. The god represented beginnings and endings, the passage of time, and transitions. The Romans offered sacrifices to Janus, and made promises of good behavior in the coming year. It was also common for friends and neighbors to exchange gifts and well wishes with one another.

Believe it or not, most Romans chose to work for at least part of New Year’s Day as idleness was seen as a bad omen for the rest of the year.

Even knights got in on the action!

During the Middle Ages, knights would renew their vows to chivalry at the end of each year. This annual contract to uphold the values of knighthood was called the “Peacock Vow,” since knights would make their promise while placing their hand on a live or roasted peacock. (The peacock was a romanticized bird at the time.) Sounds strange, but the idea of a yearly promise is the same!

Throughout history, most resolution ceremonies were closely tied to religion. For early Christians, the first day • New Year’s Continued on page 4

January, 2019 • New Year’s Continued from page 3 of the new year became a traditional time for thinking about one’s past mistakes and resolving to do better in the future. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Puritans in colonial America avoided the indulgences associated with New Year’s celebrations and other holidays.

Instead, they urged their children to skip the revelry and spend their time reflecting on the past year and contemplating the year to come. The Puritans also made resolutions that most often included commitments to put their talents to better use, treat their neighbors with charity, and avoid habitual sins.

In 1740, the English clergyman John Wesley, co-founder of the Methodist church, created the Covenant Renewal Service, most commonly held on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. The service included scripture readings and hymns, and served as a spiritual alternative to the debaucherous celebrations normally held at the end of the year. Now popular within evangelical Protestant churches, these New Year’s Eve services, sometimes called “watch night services,” are often spent praying and making resolutions for the coming year. Modern, more secular New Year’s resolutions became popular in the 19th century. The first recorded use of the phrase, “New Year’s resolution” actually appeared in a Boston newspaper in 1813.

Today, most people make New Year’s resolutions as a promise to themselves, and not to please heavenly beings. So, have you reflected on the past year, and thought of some way to improve

your life in 2019? According to recent research, about 45 percent of Americans say that they usually make resolutions at the start of a new year. So, here’s the bad news: Only eight percent are successful at achieving their goals!

I guess I can believe that. Years ago, when I belonged to a gym, I used to dread January, when the “resolution” crowds would show up and I’d have to wait for an exercise machine. But lo and behold, by February, things would be back to normal. It may sound discouraging, but the main reason people break their resolutions is because they set the bar too high. Telling yourself that you’ll run five miles every morning, or pay off credit card debt in just a couple of months is not very realistic.

For example, if you want to spend less and save more, maybe start by reducing the number of coffee runs to Dunkin’ Donuts that you make each week. Instead of crash dieting, vow to add more vegetables to your daily intake. Another way to put the odds in your favor is to tell your friends and family about your goals. You’ll feel more accountable that way, while also getting extra support from others.

So, what’s it going to be this year?

I bought a mindfulness journal over a month ago that I hate to admit I haven’t even opened. I think I’ll set some time aside each day to start working on that. It never hurts to reflect. The most important thing to remember is that any way you can improve your life is a good idea. And hey, if January 1st doesn’t work for you, why not start on the first day of any month? There’s always time for a fresh start. Happy 2019!

SLA to Lead Guided Hike to Mt. Livermore Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Wednesday, January 9 for a winter hike to Mt. Livermore via the Cotton Mountain Trail and CrawfordRidgepole Trail. This hike is roughly four miles long; the group will meet at 9 am at the Cotton Mountain trail head (located off of NH Rt.113, about 1.1 miles north of US Rt. 3 in Holderness, or one mile north of the Squam Lakes Science Center in Holderness).

Hikers will start up Cotton Mountain Trail, reaching the peak after 0.6 miles.

Afterwards, the group will merge onto the Crawford-Ridgepole Trail for 1.3 miles before reaching the summit of Mt. Livermore. It is here where participants can enjoy the view and have a quick lunch.

After lunch, hikers will head back to the Cotton Mountain trail head and can expect to wrap up around 1 pm. This hike is for all ages, but is of moderate intensity and may increase in difficulty with any icy or rainy weather. Participants should bring extra layers that can be taken off/added on to stay warm and dry, micro spikes or snowshoes, rain gear, a hat, an extra pair of socks, hiking boots, a packed lunch and snacks, and plenty of water.

The SLA is able to provide snowshoes for up to six participants.

Hiking in the winter can be a new and fun way to enjoy nature with the Squam Lakes Association. Courtesy photo This hike is one of the SLA’s Squam Ranger challenge hikes, so if you haven’t checked it off your list or are interested in completing all the

trails in the Squam Lakes network, this is a hike not to miss. In addition, there are a number of new and ongoing opportunities for members

of the community to get involved in the conservation of the watershed.

Participants will get to hear about the conservation work being done around Squam Lake, and ways they can get involved in the coming months as they hike up to the summits.

For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology program, visit the SLA website (squamlakes.org) or contact the SLA directly at 603-9687336.

The SLA offers Adventure Ecology programs throughout the year. These free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the LRCC AmeriCorps members at the SLA who perform important conservation work in support of the Association’s mission.

The Squam Lakes Association is dedicated to conserving for public benefit the natural beauty, peaceful character and resources of the watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes Region.

One of Belknap County’s Favorite Places

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper We all have favorites. Beloved places we visited and fell in love with; places and activities that evoke fond memories of favorite people and even foods.

A new exhibit on view at the Laconia Public Library is chock-full of fond memories of a favorite ski area Gunstock in Gilford. The recreation area has a long and fascinating history.

The ntroductory poster at the start of the exhibit tells us Gunstock is “one of Laconia and Belknap County’s favorite recreational areas.”

The displays are the work of the Laconia Historical and Museum

Large crowds gathered at Gunstock to watch the ski jumping in 1940s and 50s

Society, and it all takes place in the upper level rotunda area of the library.

I love the exhibits at this space and I have seen many displays in the rotunda Kick your cabin fever and spend some time that interpret everything from local dignitaries to health and clinics and in the warmth of GeezLouise! the hospital to local theatrics. Every exhibit is heavy on old photos, posters, and memorabilia depending upon what the subject may be.

Many Lakes Regioners and those from outside the area have skied at Gunstock but perhaps not as many know of the beginnings or history of the recreation area.

Gunstock, originally known as the Belknap Area, began as a solution to an economic need. During the Great Depression, Lakes Regioners suffered financial losses right along with the rest of the country. People everywhere were subsisting; unemployment was high, jobs non-existent and many people were barely surviving.

President Franklin Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to put unemployed people back to work. One such project that employed many people for a number of years was the creation of the Belknap Area.

The exhibit tells us that the Belknap County Legislative Delegation, through the Congress and Senate, received WPA support. This meant that for every dollar put into the project by the county, the federal government would put in six. It was an ambitious project and over the next three years, roads were built to give access to • Day Tripping Continued on page 11

January, 2019 • Day Tripping Continued from page 8 recreational areas on the property, which could be used for campsites and skiing. The project focused on skiing and chairlifts, four rope tows, crosscountry ski trails, as well as hiking trails, a huge main lodge and smaller buildings.

The main lodge opened in 1937 and was designed to echo the rugged, outdoorsy look of the entire area. An old photo in the exhibit shows the lodge under construction; even half completed, it is easy to see this would be a rustic, yet huge structure.

In 1936, the ski jump on nearby Mt. Rowe also was under construction.

The exhibit offers this information: the jump was all-important at the time and it was the focal point round which the county, town and federal government were creating the $350,000 recreational center.

Within the many glass exhibit cases, visitors can browse the newspaper clippings that tell the story of how the area was formed and the growth of the ski industry in the Lakes Region of NH. Old snowshoes, a rustic wooden Belknap sign, ski boots from years ago, a knitted scarf and much more adorn the cases.

I loved an old newspaper clipping dated February 19, 1936, with the title “Large Parties of Skiers to Use All Available Rooms.” The subhead tells the reader, White Mountain Runners to Hold First Annual Ski Gambol in Gilford; Masquerade Ball a Feature. It must have been a popular wintertime event, because the article stated that

Summeritme camping at Gunstock reservations were pouring in for weekend accommodations in Gilford and Laconia.

Summer activities at Gunstock, known in the early days as the Belknap Area, are not forgotten in the exhibit.

The Gunstock Hillclimb is a classic Bike Week tradition that dates back to around 1938. It makes sense that motorcycle races and the daring Hillclimb took place at the Belknap Area, because there was tons of outdoor space for competitions and spectators could camp right at the area’s campground.

One of the best things about the exhibit is the many old photos and there is a gem in the Hillclimb display, dating from the 1950s. It is a black-andwhite photo and shows a large group of enthusiasts milling around outside the lodge with a few motorcycles of the era parked at the entrance.

There are lots of general skiing photos and one stands out of two female skiers, with the parking lot and

cars of the (I am guessing) 1940s and that huge lodge in the background.

Running a large recreation area is expensive and if the winter is fickle

with little snow, it can make finances tight indeed. One poster explains how Belknap County stepped in to help the area when it was financially in need. With that in mind, the Gunstock Area Commission has taken steps to increase year round revenue by diversifying activities at the recreation area. With winter skiing in place, the Commission has turned its efforts to summertime activities, such as the popular Ziptours, Treetop Adventures, and Segway Tours, to name the most popular additions.

I enjoy the personal touch in historical exhibits and the Gunstock displays feature one area with photos of one woman’s many ski passes. Mac Emerson of Laconia loved to ski at • Day Tripping Continued on page 12

• Day Tripping Continued from page 11 Gunstock and she presented the framed display of her passes from 1961 to 1997 to Gunstock. In turn, Gunstock loaned it to the Historical Society for the exhibit.

To show that other activities took place at the area, one display shows a 1982 poster for the 2nd Annual Gunstock Maple Sugar Festival with a fun sap bucket run!

Ski jump enthusiasts will enjoy the clipping from a newspaper and information on Torger Tokle, who considered Mt. Rowe’s ski jump “his hill.” He was a much-admired athlete and everyone looked forward to his displays of skill in Gunstock/Belknap Area competitions. With his athletic ability, it seemed natural that he would be assigned to the famed 10th Mountain Division to fight in World War II. Sadly, he was killed during the war and the loss was hard for locals to bear. The following year, the Mt. Rowe leap was dedicated in his name with a ceremony.

Torger established ski jump records

all over the country, and one can only speculate what he would have gone on to accomplish had the war not ended his life prematurely. An early photo of Torger wearing his ski competition bib and holding his skis, his cap at a jaunty angle, is quite poignant.

A poster gives a good timeline of all that transpired at Gunstock over the years, taking us from the postDepression time period, through the 1950s when the area needed a fulltime team to operate and manage the area which was growing steadily in popularity. By the 1960s, expansion was continuing with the addition of a summit chairlift, three t-bars, and a new trail complex. In 1964 a second summit chairlift was added. The 1970s saw the Pistol complex developed with four new trails and another chairlift. A second base lodge, the Stockade, was added, as well as snowmaking.

In 1986, a $10 million project began to modernize Gunstock. After all, the area had seen great usage and thousands of people camping, skiing, using the lodge, watching or taking part

in Hillclimbs, ski jumping and much more. At that time a more sophisticated snowmaking system was installed, the base complex was expanded, and existing trails were renovated.

Old photos show the Gunstock riding stables, with horseback riding popular in the summer. Cross-country skiing photos in winter, camping in summer and ski jumping photos from the past are a lot of fun to view.

A lot has taken place at Gunstock over the years, including the Eastern Ski Championships in 1946. It can only be imagined the number of people who came to the area and found local lodgings so they could be at the recreation area to watch the aweinspiring ski jumpers soar through the air. The jump was among the best in the eastern United States and thousands of spectators would crowd the stands to watch the jumpers.

Display information tells us the jump installed at Gunstock in 1937 was almost 200 feet. It was here at Norwegian immigrant Tokle set the record of a 251 foot jump in 1941. That amazing record stood for 35 years until the hill was enlarged.

The jumps eventually fell into disrepair, but the Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society is bringing them back to life and ski jumping, it is hoped, will find popularity at the area again.

No exhibit of Lakes Region skiing is complete without a display on Olympic ski champion Penny Pitou of Gilford.

A poster at the exhibit tells us that courageous Penny, as a freshman at Laconia High School, ignored the no-

girls-allowed rule and joined the boys’ ski team! Her skills were legendary and she went on, in 1960, to become the first American Alpine skier to win an Olympic downhill medal; she won the silver in both downhill and giant slalom. Later, she opened the Penny Pitou Ski School at Gunstock. In 2001, she quite deservingly was inducted into the New England Women’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Certainly, if President Roosevelt had lived to see his WPA idea in full bloom in the little town of Gilford, NH, he would have been quite proud.

He could have witnessed a forested mountain area transformed, over the space of a few years, into something exciting, where skiing would boost the local economy. And he would have witnessed such talented athletes at Torger Tokle strap on his skis, push off and soar high over the area, as well as determined Penny Pitou who learned to ski on the slopes and went on to win an Olympic medal.

The exhibit interpreting the long and fascinating history of the Belknap/ Gunstock area is well worth stopping by the Laconia Library to view. I wouldn’t be surprised if it teaches you some things you didn’t know, and brings back fond memories of everyone’s favorite area.

The Gunstock exhibit is free and open to the public on the top floor rotunda area of the Laconia Public Library at 695 North Main Street in Laconia. It will be on view until March 21. For information, call the library at 603-524-4775.

Olivera Returns to Wolfeboro On Sunday, January 13, world renowned organist Maestro Hector Olivera is returning to Wolfeboro for the third time, following two wildly popular appearances in the town in 2014 and 2016. The concert will be held at the First Congregational Church, 115 South Main Street, Wolfeboro, at 2 pm.

Olivera’s collaboration with the Rogers company on the design specs for the model of organ that graces the First Congregational Church here allows him a deep appreciation of all the nuances of this fine instrument, and he carefully selects his program to share them all with his audience.

The Buenos Aires born Olivera’s story is that of a child prodigy. His first teacher (his father) encouraged him to begin playing the pipe organ when he was three years of age. Two years later, he was appointed organist of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Also, at age 5, he played for the legendary Eva Peron. At age 6 he entered the Buenos Aires Conservatory. By age 9 he had composed a suite for oboe and string orchestra, performed by the Buenos Aires Symphony Orchestra. At age 12 he entered the University of Buenos Aires and by 18 he had performed more than 300 concerts throughout Latin America, appearing frequently on Argentinean radio and television.

During this time, he also served as the senior improvisational accompanist for the Collegium Musicum in Buenos Aires, vastly increasing his prodigious improvisational talent. In 1965, New

2018.

Most famous for his prodigious technical proficiency and charismatic stage presence, Mr. Olivera’s amazing effect on audiences has made many of the most sophisticated and demanding organ aficionados claim that Maestro Hector Olivera is “one of the greatest organists in the world today.”

The Wolfeboro concert is sponsored

by Paul and Debbie Zimmerman, Green Mountain Communications, Edward Jones Investments Financial Advisor Kevin Lawlor, and the law offices of V. Richards Ward, Jr PLLC. It is the fourth of eight concerts presented by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music for the people of the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $25 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling 603-569-2151; Hector Olivera returns to Wolfeboro on January 13 at 2 pm at the First Congregational or by visiting www.wfriendsofmusic.

Chillin’ While Grillin’

Classic Hearty Winter Soups

By Chef Kelly Ross Hello again my food loving friends.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the meals have been outstanding, as well as the leftovers, but it’s now time to live within our means again after a month or more of splurging, financially as well as with our eating habits. There is a reason why most people lay low from now through March/April, and it’s not only because of the snow.

Between the usual winter bills, as well as the repercussions of holiday spending, most of us cut back in comparison to the last couple of months. This time of year screams one thing to me as far as eating goes, and that is comfort foods. There are certain foods that most of us lean on during the winter months that we don’t eat during the warmer months, and one of my favorites in this category is a great hearty soup, chowder or stew.

As my Gram used to always say, “You got to love good old-fashioned ‘stick to your ribs’ kind of food”. The type of foods that warm you from the inside out are what it’s all about, whether coming home from work, or from a day of skiing or playing outside, a good warm and hearty soup is what this time of year is all about. Soups work well as an appetizer or the main

Consignor’s Avenue

course, whether for lunch or dinner.

Although I enjoy soups year round, the usual summer soups are a thin broth soup, although a good clam chowder works year round as well. Usually though, when it comes to running soup specials during the warmer months, it is normal to see cold soups, like fruit and yogurt soups, vichyssoise or gazpacho, or warm thin broth soups. I’m okay with all of those, but they don’t hold a candle to the winter classics. Chowders are a staple in New England, regardless of a seafood variety or great variations on corn chowders. Seasonal soups like pumpkin, apple, and squash soups are a big seller as well right now. A cheddar broccoli soup may be the most popular with most. Beef and chicken stews are also huge, and although many people are working hard on laying low on breads and carbs, a great hearty soup in an oven toasted bread bowl is a big winner. Although I know after the holidays, many are working to drop those extra pounds, I still have a weakness for the infamous bread bowl.

One of the main things my wife asks of me is making soups for her to bring to work for lunch, as sometimes her office is cold, and the warmth of a good soup is just what the doctor ordered.

Well, Dr. Ross is here to fill your soup

prescriptions, so let’s get to it.

One of my favorite themes when it comes to a hearty winter soup, a real “Go To” for me , is a great potato soup or chowder and the first two are both a potato based yum-fest that are so completely different. The first is done with sweet potatoes and the second with white russet bakers. They are both unique on their own, and completely night and day in comparison to one another. The first is also chock full of wonderful steak. I like to call this Beefy Sweet Potato Soup. This one is truly a meal, not just a soup. This recipe will make about a gallon so it will feed many and/or leave you with proper leftovers for the next few lunches at work. The process will take a little over an hour and a half to prepare and cook.

Beefy Sweet Potato Soup ¼ cup olive oil 2 lbs beef sirloin roast, cut into ½-in. cubes 2 tsp salt 1 tsp coarse black pepper 2 cups finely chopped sweet onions 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into onein. cubes 2 cans Italian stewed tomatoes, including the juice 3 fresh thyme sprigs 2 fresh rosemary sprigs 1 qt beef broth 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-in. pieces 10-12 oz frozen corn kernels 2 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped or shaved 3 tbsp very strong brewed coffee salt and pepper to season Crusty bread, cornbread or biscuits for dipping This is a fairly easy and simple process. In a stock pot, or a Dutch oven, put 2 tbsp of the olive oil in the pot. Season the beef cubes with the salt and pepper and brown in batches over medium heat, removing each batch with a slotted spoon. Add the sweet potatoes and onions to the pan, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent and starting to turn golden brown.

While that is cooking, puree the canned tomatoes in a food processor.

Take the sprigs of rosemary and thyme and wrap in a cheesecloth double thick and twist tightly. Gather the corners to the body of the cloth and wrap them tightly with string. Add the beef back to the pan of potatoes and onions with the beef broth, pureed tomato, and the herb bag and bring it all to a boil.

Reduce the heat to simmer, cover the pot and let it go for about an hour or until the spuds and meat are tender.

At this point, add the beans, corn, chocolate and coffee and stir until it is well blended. Remove the herb bag with a slotted spoon, and season with more salt and pepper if preferred and serve. Break out your bread of choice and go at it. Delicious!

Sticking with the potato theme for the next recipe, this one is a little more traditional, but easily as good and possibly better. For some reason, I do know many who don’t really enjoy sweet potatoes, which is beyond me, but to each their own. As for this one, unless you are a vegetarian or a vegan, or if you have gluten or dairy allergies (ok, so this might not be for everyone), you will find this recipe to be a classic “stick to your ribs” kind of wintery stand-by staple. This one will become a big family hit. I generally call it my Irish Cheesy Potato Chowder. The recipe will easily feed 8 people. It is rich and can easily become a meal, especially if you accompany it with a nice bread. This bad boy is chock full of comfort.

January, 2019 •Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 20 2½ qts of milk 1 tsp salt 4 tsp course black pepper 8 cups shredded sharp cheddar ¼ cup flour (yes, another ¼ cup) 1 cup diced ham Fry or bake the bacon until crispy.

Drain and save the grease - this will add great flavor to the final product. Chop the bacon and set aside. While cooking the bacon, put the broth, vinegar and potatoes into a pot and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 25 minutes until the spuds are tender. In a separate pot, sauté the onions/celery in 4 tbsp of the bacon grease or butter or a combo until veggies are tender, usually 5-6 minutes.

Add ¾ cup of flour and stir well so the roux is smooth and free from lumps.

Add the milk to the roux and combine until smooth on medium heat. Carefully pour the broth/potato mixture over the milk/roux mixture and stir until well combined and smooth, over a lowmedium heat. Once thoroughly mixed, add the second ¼ cup flour to a bowl of the shredded cheese and toss by hand until the cheese is coated. Gradually add the cheese to the soup and again, continue to mix well. Toss in the bacon and ham, season accordingly if needed, and let simmer for about ½ hour on a low heat, occasionally stirring so nothing settles on the bottom of the pot. Serve when ready with your favorite crusty bread. If you want to pretty up the presentation depending on your crowd, I like to garnish the top with a little more of the shredded cheese, chopped scallions and maybe

more chopped bacon. Just cook more bacon early on if you care to garnish it.

Let’s go with a more seasonal soup that also is a comfort food, a Butternut Squash and Apple Soup. It has tons of fun flavor with a great blend of spices that is so nice. As opposed to the last two chunky soups, this is a fairly smooth beauty that goes down in such a way that it instantly warms you up.

Some might argue this is more of a fall type of soup; I just say it’s a great cold weather soup. This recipe is another guaranteed smile creator. It will yield you two-plus quarts, which will easily give you eight cups of this delicious soup. If you want more, just double it.

It does go together fairly quickly, in no more than 45 minutes.

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup One stick butter 8 cups fresh peeled and cubed butternut squash 1½ cups chopped sweet onions 4 apples of choice, peeled and cut into 1-in. pieces 1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp salt ½ tsp course black pepper 1 ½ qts (6 cups) chicken broth 2 cups half and half In a large pot, melt the butter and sauté the cubed squash, apples and the onions for about 10 minutes over a medium heat until the squash is somewhat tender. Mix the 4 spices together in a small bowl, then add to the pot and stir well to combine. You can then add the chicken broth, crank the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and cook for a ½ hour. At this point, you will need an emulsifier or a blender/food processor. If you own an emulsifier/emersion hand held blender, which I strongly suggest as they don’t cost much more than $25, let it work its magic right in the pot until the soup is smooth. If not, carefully ladle the soup in batches into a blender/ food processor and put it all back into the pot. Add the half and half and stir well, and simmer for 5-10 minutes on

a low heat and serve. This is a fun and yummy soup. I usually like to top this one with homemade croutons and a few sprinkles of cinnamon/nutmeg. It tastes incredible and looks great with a very nice presentation.

Let’s switch things up and go to a classic New Orleans dish that has been a staple forever, and that’s a classic Jambalaya before we finish with an Irish Classic Beef Stew. I make this recipe in two different ways, depending on my mood and appetite.

In N’awlin’s, as their locals generally call it, it is sometimes made with a thin tomato broth as a soup, or thicker with less broth and served over a bed of rice as a dinner. I prefer the soup version, but you can’t lose either way.

I generally like to do this recipe in a slow cooker or crock pot. It’s one of those classic “set it and forget it” kind of things as you can prep it the night before, throw it together in the morning, go to work and jump right in head first with a great appetite when you get home. I can say unequivocally that N’awlin’s cooking is by far my favorite of all ethnicities and localized cooking methods. Although it has been years since I have been there, New Orleans is easily my favorite city, and especially my favorite place to eat.

It is easy to tweak the recipe to your liking, especially if you aren’t a fan of shrimp or spicy sausage, but I urge you to do this as described. This recipe will easily feed 8 people or so and it will wow the “you know what” out of you and your crowd. Seriously, how can you go wrong with a combo of shrimp, •Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 22

•Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 21 chicken and andouille sausage and all the N’awlin’s spices that make that city famous?

Jambalaya 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-in. cubes ½ lb andouille sausage, diced 1 (28 oz ) can diced tomatoes 1 medium-large onion, diced, but not too small 1 green pepper, diced like the onion 1 stalk of celery, chopped 1½ cups chicken broth 2 tsp oregano 2 tsp Cajun, or Creole seasoning 3 tsp hot sauce 2 bay leaves ½ tsp thyme 1 lb medium sized shrimp, not too big (not baby shrimp) Prep the chicken, sausage, onion, pepper and celery as described. Pop them in the crock pot and add the chicken broth and the seasonings as well as the hot sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Once the contents are cooked, stir in the thawed shrimp and continue to cook for about ½ hour, and serve in a bowl and dig right in. If you would prefer this to be thicker and served over rice, drain as much of the liquid as possible before you add the shrimp. Use the juice to cook your rice as directed, but use as much Jambalaya juice as possible when cooking the rice. (The general rule is to double the liquid per rice, so for 2 cups of raw rice, measure the tomato broth, and whatever else you need to make 4 cups, add water to

the tomato broth to get where you need to be and serve the Jambalaya over the rice.)

Last on today’s list of yummy winter classic comfort soups is truly a staple in certain circles. We are moving from a N’awlin’s slow cooker classic to the Irish mentality of a slow cooker tradition, a Guinness Beer Beef Stew. Back in the day when I was in Florida as a young aspiring culinary kid, I worked in an Irish restaurant/ pub that had trouble staying ahead of demand when it came to keeping this in stock. Everybody wanted it, which in many ways was easy from a service standpoint, but it could be tough from a production standpoint as it had to be done every morning to stay ahead of the game. We generally did not like to sell it the day it was made, as most

would agree that some soups are just better when they sit for a day or two, and this treasure is a perfect example.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is still wicked good fresh off the stove, but when it sits for a day, I personally think it’s twice as scrumptious. Instead of going to the pub, bring the pub to your home This one is more involved as opposed to the Jambalaya, but still nothing too difficult.

Guinness Beer Beef Stew 1 lb bacon, cut into small pieces 3 lb chuck roast 1 tsp salt, best w/Kosher 1 tsp coarse black pepper 12 oz pearl onions 5 medium Yukon potatoes, cut into 2-in. hunks 5 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-in. chunks 3 stalks of finely chopped celery 4 cups of a rich beef broth. Use a beef paste (as in Better than Bouillon)

and water 4 cloves garlic, minced 12 oz of Guinness Extra Stout ½ cup tomato paste 4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 tsp white sugar 2 tbsp butter, unsalted 2 tbsp flour In a hot cast-iron skillet, or something similar, brown the bacon pieces and then remove w/a slotted spoon and put on a paper towel. Rub the chuck roast w/half the salt, half the pepper and brown all sides of the beef in that same pan about 4-6 minutes on each side. In the slow cooker, add the pearl onions, the potato chunks, the carrots, celery, half the bacon pieces, the broth, the garlic, the beer, the rest of the salt/ pepper, tomato paste, thyme and sugar.

Now cut the beef roast into 2-in. chunks and add them to the slow cooker as well. Stir things up very well, cover, and let it go for 7 hours on low. At this point, slowly heat the butter until liquefied, add the flour, and stir well until the roux is smooth. Add it slowly to the slow cooker, stir well, trying not to destroy the spuds in the process.

Cook for an additional hour or until thick. Once ladled into the bowls, top w/the chopped fresh remaining bacon bits. Like most of my favorite comfort soups, a nice crusty bread makes a great addition, especially to dip in the stew and scrape the remaining stew on the bottom of the bowl.

Sitting in front of a fire while enjoying one of these soups is truly what winter is all about. Until next time, stay warm and continue to lean on some great comfort foods during this time of year.
