~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDITOR, ANNETTE NEILSON WILL BE AT THE MARKET SATURDAY TO SIGN BOOKS AND TALK ABOUT THE BOOK ON SALE AT THE MARKET TABLE:  NORTHERN COMFORT  fall and winter recipes from Adirondack Life This small book is a perfect stocking stuffer for those in your life who love local cooking.  The recipes are simple, yet delicious, and reflect the culinary landscape of the Adirondacks.  All have appeared in the fall and winter issues of Adirondack Life magazine and highlight our regions cornucopia.    Note: Books retail for 15.95, but at the market they will be sold for $13 with $5 from the sale of each book going towards offsetting the rent of our winter market site.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RECIPE OF THE WEEK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  "Coming Home Soup"  (for 6 bowls)   I find myself wanting soup more and more as the days get shorter and colder.  Soup has always represented the warmth of love and home to me.  When I was in college my drive home was 1700 miles through wind and snow swept prairies and on into the cold blue valleys of the east.  I was swept east by the knowledge that when I went through the front door of home, there on the stove, would be some homemade soup waiting.  It would be full of vegetables from my father's summer garden and spiced just right by mom.   Apparently there are others who have similar feelings about soup.  I found a recipe dubbed "coming home soup" in one of my recently acquired (and turned favorite) cookbooks: Stories, Food Life, published by North Country Radio.  I cooked it with fresh chicken stock*, fresh carrots, frozen beans and peppers from my summer garden, garlic, leeks, potatoes and cream from the farmers' market.  It brought back the vivid warm flavors of coming home--the only thing missing was the 1700-mile drive!   Ingredients 2tbsp olive oil 1 1/2 cups chopped leeks 2 cups sweet peppers (green or red) 4-6 cloves of garlic, chopped 2 1/4 cups chicken stock (*use vegetable stock if you're not a meat eater) 2 cups green beans 2 cups sliced carrots 4-6 cups diced potatoes, skins on (fingerlings are great) Parsley sprigs, 2 tsp salt Ground black pepper 1/2 cup heavy fresh cream 3 tbsp. butter   Directions Sauté leeks in the oil until soft and then add garlic and peppers.  Add chicken stock, vegetables, and seasonings.  Bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer.  Cook until the vegetables are soft.  Add cream and simmer until warm.  Add butter and stir.  Serve with warm, whole grain muffin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using egg whites and a minimum of butter keeps saturated fat and cholesterol low, while a touch of whole-wheat flour adds a fiber and nutrient boost.   Ingredients Cookies 1 1/4 cups flour 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 4 ounces unsalted butter, softened 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1 egg white 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract   Icing 2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted 2 large egg whites 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice   Preparation 1. For cookies, whisk together first 4 ingredients  (through baking soda) in a medium bowl. 2. Beat butter and sugars together in a separate medium bowl until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, and add the egg white and vanilla and almond extracts; beat until just combined. 3. Add flour mixture, and stir until incorporated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 4 hours. 4. Preheat oven to 325°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 5. Dust a work surface with flour. Turn out chilled dough directly onto work surface. Roll dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes in dough, and gently transfer them to baking sheets. (You can reroll the scraps, just be sure to chill in between.) 6. Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until set but not browned. Remove cookies from oven, and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. 7. For the icing, whisk together all the icing ingredients in a large bowl until completely smooth. Mixture should have consistency of a glaze. (If it's too thin, add a bit more sugar. If it's too thick, add a few more drops of lemon juice.) 8. Transfer icing to a pastry bag (or a zip-top plastic bag with a small hole in one of the bottom corners). First, outline the cookie or desired design, then fill it in. Let icing harden before serving. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.   ________________________________________________________ Share Your Thoughts Tell us what you love about the YMCA!  We would really like to hear from you.    We may use your comments for marketing purposes, so if you prefer that we don't use your name, please let us know.   Please send your comments to Janet Sprague, PR/Marketing Director at janets@ymcasaratoga.org.   ___________________________________________________   Gymnastics Home Meets Gymnastics classes are cancelled on Dec. 15th, Jan 5th, 9th, 26th, and Feb. 5th due to High School meets that will be held at the Wilton Branch.    ____________________________________________________________________   Looking for a year end tax deduction?

Wells Fargo moves into 54 Phila, Boca Viva apparently closed

Wells Fargo Financial has moved into the new condo building officially known as The Lofts at 54 Phila.  The Saratogian's In the Biz blog has more detailed information here.

 

I have mentioned before that I like this new building, located at the corner of Phila and Henry Streets, across from Beverly's.  It just looks stately and is consistent with other Saratoga buildings - the developers, builders, and designers should all be proud.  Of course the potential problem is sales, or lack thereof.  I see a condo project in Glens Falls that hasn't sold many units has shifted gears and will start out as apartments instead, and I have to wonder if the same will happen at 54 Phila or any of the other Saratoga projects in the works.  Perhaps some developers will get real creative and find some unorthodox methods to move the properties.  Click here for an additional entry I previously wrote on Saratoga Springs condos.

Going back to the In the Biz blog,  Saratogian reporter Mareesa Nicosia has been doing an admirable job recently of reporting business happenings here, and she also reported on the fact that the Boca Viva shop on Broadway has paper on its windows and is apparently closed. 

Stogie Review web site gives high ratings to James and Sons Tobacconists on Broadway

I am not one to smoke cigars, but I do notice how some people I know truly seem to enjoy a good stogie now and again.  Yes there are the health concerns, but...I'll let people make their own decisions.  In any event, I thought it was great that the web site Stogie Review just posted a review of a visit from a few months back about our very own James and Sons Tobacconists located right downtown at 360 Broadway.  It was a very positive review, so if you see visitors looking for a tobacconist, you know where to send them. 

Mike Veitch pays tribute to Joe Dalton in the Saratogian

I have mentioned on here before how I appreciate reading Mike Veitch's horse racing articles in the Saratogian.  Today's column has a nice tribute to Joe Dalton and a recollection of how the retiring Saratoga Chamber of Commerce President helped save the Oklahoma Track back during the 1980s, and I encourage you to give it a read.
