St. Lucia Day in Sweden
St. Lucia Day honors a third-century saint on December 13,
when girls dress up as “Lucia brides” and wear long white
gowns and red sashes — a tradition that dates back to the 18th
century. The attire is accompanied with a wreath of burning
candles on their heads. The girls wake up their families by
singing songs and offering coffee, and a traditional bun, called
St. Lucia’s bun and made from saffron, is commonly eaten on
this day.
Hanukkah in Israel
Jewish people all over the world observe Hanukkah, but perhaps there is not a more brilliant celebration than in Israel.
The eight-day holiday, which lands on different dates in December every year, marks the successful Jewish rebellion over
the Greeks. The focal point of celebration is the menorah, a
branched candelabrum, and most homes have many. Each
night, one candle is lit and gifts are often given to children,
games are played and food is enjoyed. Children in Israel even
get a week off from school.
Christmas in France
In France, Christmas is called Noel. And though there are
many similarities to Christmas in the U.S., you’ll find a number
of key differences. A figure called Pere Noel, father of Christmas, makes home visits with gifts. On Christmas Eve, children
leave their shoes by a fireplace that will be filled with the gifts.
In the morning, they awake to find fruits, nuts and small toys.
Nearly every home has a Nativity Scene, which serves as the
focal point of decoration and celebration, just as the Christmas
tree does in U.S. homes.
Christmas in Alaska
Christmas traditions in Alaska are similar to the rest of the
Unites States, but there are a few unique differences that make
an Alaskan Christmas special. For example, children go caroling with a long pole topped by a colored star. Songs sung in
the home often include the Aleut words “Gristuusaaq suu’uq,”
which means “Christ is born.” The closing words, “Mnogaya
leta,” means, “God grant you many years.” Treats may include
cookies, doughnuts, and cake, as well as fish pie called piruk.

Christmas festivities in Ireland tend to be more religious in

Christmas Eve until January 6th (Epiphany). On the 26th, St.

Pumpkin-white chocolate chip:
Nothing like Grandma’s cookies
BY: Pamela Silvestri
In winding up to a recipe, cookbook authors often
wax poetic about their childhood meals. Rightly so in
the case of Faye Porter’s “At My Grandmother’s Table.” Her book is replete with mouthwatering photos
of casseroles, a beautiful-looking blueberry-sausage
bake and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
But for sure, there was a Marie Silvestri food tradition that my dad and Uncle Bob would bring up — “Snow Bruh Joel,” a term
that would send he and his brother into serious fits of laughter.
“What was ‘Snow Bruh Joel’?” I asked my Aunt Annette.
She said matter-of-factly, “That was a way of saying, ‘There is no brasciole.’”
With that, I also have no brasciole recipe to share right now. And, if indeed there were written instructions about meatballs or
Sunday Sauce by Grandma Marie’s hand they are as long gone as is lutefisk from a Bay Ridge fish store.
Instead, here’s Ms. Porter’s grandmother’s recipe for you to enjoy.
We’ll get back to those particular cookies and a happy
recipe for them in a moment. But first, here is a windup in delivering that formula.
Just a note beforehand: Use a liquid measure to meter out the pumpkin. The original recipe calls for margarine (I much prefer
butter) and chocolate chips, as opposed to the white chocolate kind. Although I think the cookies look prettier with the white
chips, arguably a better compliment the pumpkin pie flavors.
MEMORIES OF AMBROSIA
Also, I did not sift the flour or beat the egg beforehand out of consideration for my grandma Lillian who likely would abandon
this recipe immediately after reading such steps.
I was transported back to my own grandmother’s table
at a church potluck luncheon held in Port Richmond
on Sunday that featured an admirable tray of Ambrosia. You know that dish — or maybe you don’t — it’s basically a salad
of Jell-O, fruit such as canned pineapple chunks, Cool Whip and marshmallows.
Perhaps this is just as formidable of a concept with which to grapple as are other Depression-era dishes like “dump cake” or
a solid, dessert loaf made with Campbell’s Tomato Soup. But, as sure as there is good pizza on Staten Island, there is a loyal
audience for Ambrosia.
Take my Grandma Lillian, for instance. To this humble cook on East 4th Street in Brooklyn, back in the day, Ambrosia was
a bit of a culinary feat, a side dish at McMullen family gatherings that proved a bit more complex than “mold,” another
edible wonder made from fruit suspended in (usually green) Jell-O eased from a Bundt cake form.
Both Ambrosia and “mold” were sources of pride for my grandmother of East Flatbush. That’s because she could make
the recipes very successfully.
Now, at 96 years old, she is quite comfortable joking to friends in her retirement community, “I always made one thing well
— reservations.”
Meanwhile, my Italian grandmother, Marie Silvestri, over on Fort Hamilton Parkway, always had something cooking on the
stove — bless her sweet soul — a pot of stock for soup or bell peppers getting charred right on the burners. And, whatever
she put on a plate, it was incredibly delicious and memorable. Who can deny the fantastical flavors of a juicy beef burger
fried in olive oil or pastina in broth with soft vegetables chopped into such teensy pieces they seemed invisible?
Cousins Liz and Joanne of Great Kills recently brought up Marie’s cooking while sitting around my Aunt Annette’s dining
room table.
Marie’s repertoire, we all agree, included olive oil where the “oil” was pronounced like “earl” and water was “burled” not
“boiled.” (Imagine how the word “toilet” and “coil” sounded with that Coney Island accent.) Clipped “kew-pons” (translation: coupons) were redeemed at the supermarket a few blocks up on 86th Street. (Was that an Acme there on the corner of
91st Street in the mid-seventies? I can’t recall.)

wo hundred and thirty people were in attendance at our 3rd annual Seeds of Talent showcase, sponsored by
Good Neighbor. The show started at 7pm and ended a bit after 9pm, with standing ovations. The perfomers were
boys and girls ages 4-15 years old. The talented singers and dancers were from countries such as Peru, Mexico,
Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Ecuador. They danced their native dances and sung in their native tongues.
The crowd cheered and applauded for these kids who have worked so hard for this show since July. The energy
was amazing!
Hundreds of performers showed up to auditions in Queens over the summer. These children were hand picked
by Julio Cesar en America and then the real work began. Rehearsals were twice a week with voice coach Lori
Fredrics and the dances choreographed by Gabrielle Sarrubbo, then a short showcase at Familia & Hogar at the
NYC Hilton in September, leading up to their show at El Museo del Barrio.
Dinner for the performers was donated by Vladimir Diaz, Pioneer Supermarket on Lexington Ave in NYC.
Dessert and snacks were kindly donated by Conagra, Marie Callendar and Bertolli Pies, and Hunts Snack Pack
Puddings. Café Bustelo served hot coffee. Jif Peanut Butter and Smuckers Jelly were slathered on crackers. All of
this was served before the show, at intermission and end of show. David’s Sunflower Seeds were handed out to the
departing guests.
For all their hard work and sweat, the children will be treated to a day in New York City, a Broadway Workshop,
lunch at the Hard Rock Café and then off to see Cinderella on Broadway.

ood Neighbor recognizes Jenny Jorge, partner of Compare Foods located at 111 West
Merrick Road, Freeport, Long Island. Jenny organized her very own health community
fair for her customers on August 23rd and 24th of this year in honor of their 25th Anniversary in the Freeport community. Many partners and vendors contributed to the event
with their various product demos, raffles and family oriented activities. South Nassau
Community Hospital provided free health screenings for cholesterol, high blood pressure,
BMI and many other services through their CATCH program. Even WBLI 106.1 and
WBAB 102.3 showed up and supported the event with great energy and broadcasting.
Many food companies including Bimbo, Cafe Bustelo, Eat Well Hummus and many others
shared their delicious products. As Jenny stated, “This event was a fun way to showcase
some of our best products and allow customers to taste some new and different items that
they may not normally look for. But mainly, we decided to organize this event to show our
customers that they are appreciated and that we are grateful for the suppport they have
shown us during these 25 years.” Everyone enjoyed the fun atmosphere, food and appreciation from Compare Foods. Nassau County’s own Kathleen Rice, New York District Attorney, attended the event to show support to Jorge and the Compare Foods Anniversary.
The kids had a great time jumping in bouncy castles and hanging with Beembo the Bimbo
Bear while adults participated in the raffle where lucky winners won various prizes such as
food-filled gift baskets, Compare Foods gift cards, game tickets, concert tickets, children’s
bicycles, Six Flags tickets, and a 32” LED TV.
Jenny is doing an excellent job with Compare
proven to not only be a profound busibut leader in the community. She is an

Next, cut the as carrot as finely as possible: A good way to do this is to shave it on the smaller holes of a box grater.
(These are tiny bits as you don’t want the carrot crunch to dominate the salad.)
BY: Pamela Silvestri
Add all of those ingredients together in a non-reactive mixing bowl with the juicy liquid from pickles or some white vinegar. Add salt. Refrigerate overnight, about 12 hours.
In the fall, zero in on this extra-terrestrial looking
vegetable: Kohlrabi.
Remove from fridge. Strain out the juices and discard.
It comes in the color purple or a rather pale shade
of green. And, as funky as it looks, this vegetable is
a much more elegant stand-in for its cabbage and
rutabaga cousins.
At this point, you can keep the kohlrabi salad crunchy: Use
it instead of iceberg lettuce, atop a creamy combination, like
chicken or tuna salad with it on a soft potato bun. Or, serve
it on the side of a sandwich platter finished with poppy or
black sesame seeds, for a color and crunch contrast.
Let’s break the kohlrabi down into what might be
more familiar tastes and textures. When raw, the
creature eats like a radish and cuts like an apple.
When cooked, a shrewd home chef can treat it like a
turnip or its curvacious, sweet rutabaga relatives —
stew it to perfection.
Slice the scallion bottoms vertically so they look like matchsticks. Chop the scallion greens (about 3 inches from the top)
horizontally into ribbons as thinly as possible. This adds some contrast to the overall look of the salad.
For a creamy version of the salad: Add a tablespoon each
of Greek yogurt, mustard and mayonnaise with a pinch of
salt.

Kohlrabi pops up in mid-summer. For a gardener, it provides a great way to fill in a raised-bed garden or sunny plot
between produce stints, like lettuces and Swiss chard. Plus, the kohlrabi itself is a hardy plant that can be sowed
about a month before an anticipated first frost and harvested while temperatures hover around 40 degrees. So, expect to find it on local farm stands in the very near future.

If you know how to prepare it, you’ll absolutely love to eat it.
RECIPE: KOHLRABI SLAW (aka KOHL-SLAW)
(Makes 4 to 6 side servings)
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 kohlrabi, leaves removed and reserved for another use
• 1/2 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 scallion, with bottoms sliced vertically into matchsticks and/or horizontally into tiny rings
• 3 tablespoons chopped herbs such as parsley or tarragon (optional)
• 1/2 seeded bell pepper or 1 jalapeno (for a little kick) sliced into thin slivers (both optional)
• Salt
• 1/2 cup pickle juice or white wine vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
Trim the leaves and off-shoots of the kohlrabi. Reserve for another use — the washed leaves can be cooked like spinach — or just compost/discard them.

Slice the kohlrabi into 1/4-inch pieces, like an apple. Turn, and lie each piece flat, then chop into matchsticks as
thinly as possible. You can also use a mandoline to julienne the slices.
Feliz
NAVIDAD
My husband Matthew is from Boston, so he thinks he’s
a good party host. Boston, for those who don’t know, is
famous for being a party town. On our wedding, for example, when the DJ played a song from Journey (don’t ask me
which one, because they all sound the same to me), he took
off his shirt and started imitating the band’s lead singer,
Steve Perry.
bother you. But in our parties, if you try to hide, someone will find
you. They’ll bring you some cheesy snacks or a plate filled with
beans, meat, rice, tortillas, the best fruit drink you have ever tasted,
and they will tell you a good joke. After that, it’ll be hard for you to
escape from dancing on the living room dance floor.
Anyway, he was like a fish in water.
And now to answer your question about what time we’ll be back.
Unlike the parties you’re used to, that have a start and an end time,
I said, we don’t believe fun should have a time limit. Just saying
goodbye can take you an hour. Besides, you’ll be lucky if you can
escape coffee time at the end of the night. Maybe we’ll come back
home at midnight. Or maybe not. One thing’s for sure: you’re
definitely not going to watch the game.
Then, we had a party with my Latino family. And that’s
when things got interesting. Before leaving he asked, “What
time are we coming back?” Why? I asked. “I want to catch
the end of the Sox’s game”.
It was the perfect moment to explain the rules of a Latino
party.
Rule #1: Never, ever, get there early
Before answering what time we’ll be coming back, first I
have to tell you what time we’re getting there, I told him.
For my family parties, we have to get there at least 30
minutes after the start time. If you’re there on time, you’ll
be the first one. The host won’t even be ready, so you’ll be
asked to serve snacks, setup tables and chairs or even to
watch the kids. And it’s possible that you’ll have to do it for
the rest of the party.
Rule #2: If you are not well dressed, don’t show up
Some people go to parties with themed t-shirts and shorts.
This will never happen at our parties, I explained. Even if
it’s just a carne asada on a Saturday afternoon or a birthday
party, you should be wearing clean and ironed clothes and
your shoes should be shining. The women will be wearing
make-up. If someone takes kids, their hair will be combed
with gel and the girls will have ponytails or braids. So you
have to dress nice, honey.
Rule #3: You have to eat, chat and dance
At other parties, If you don’t want to mingle with other, you
can go sit in a corner, pull out your phone, and no one will
20
posiblemente te toque hacer eso durante toda la fiesta.
Regla #2: Si no estás vestido bien, no vayas

Como mi esposo Matthew es de Boston, él cree que es muy
buen anfitrión para las fiestas. Boston, para quienes no
saben, tiene fama de ser una ciudad que sabe divertirse. En
nuestra boda, por ejemplo, cuando el DJ puso una canción
del grupo Journey (no me pregunten cuál, porque todas me
suenan igual), él se quitó la camiseta y se puso a imitar al
vocalista del grupo, Steve Perry.
En fin, estaba como un pez en el agua.
Después tuvimos una fiesta con mi familia latina. Y ahí es
donde la cosa se puso interesante. Antes de salir de casa me
preguntó “¿A qué hora volveremos?”. ¿Por qué?, le pregunté. “Quiero alcanzar a ver el final del juego de los Sox”.
Fue el momento perfecto para explicarle las reglas de una
fiesta latina.
Regla #1: Nunca, jamás, llegues temprano
Antes de contestarte a qué
horas vamos a regresar, primero debo decirte a qué hora
vamos a llegar, le dije. En las
reuniones de mi familia hay
que llegar por lo menos 30
minutos después de la hora
indicada. Y si llegas a tiempo,
seguramente serás el primero.
Ni siquiera el anfitrión estará
listo. Así que tendrás que
ayudar a servir las botanas,
sacar sillas y mesas o hasta
echarle un ojo a los niños, y
Hay personas que van a reuniones vestidas con playeras decoradas
con temáticas de fiesta y pantalones cortos. Pero esto nunca sucederá en nuestras fiestas, le expliqué. Aunque sea una carne asada de
sábado en la tarde o una fiesta de cumpleaños, tu ropa debe estar
limpia y planchada, tus zapatos brillantes y las mujeres vamos bien
maquilladas. Si alguien lleva niños, su cabello estará bien peinado
con gel, las niñas con su cabello recogido o en trenza. Por lo tanto,
querido, te me vistes bien.
Regla #3: Tienes que comer, conversar y bailar
Si no tienes ganas de convivir con alguien, en cualquier otra fiesta
te vas a una esquina de la casa, te sientas, sacas tu teléfono y nadie
te molestará. Pero en nuestras reuniones por más que trates de esconderte, alguien te encontrará. Te traerán unas botanas de queso
o un plato lleno de frijoles, carne, arroz, tortillas, la mejor bebida
de frutas que hayas probado en tu vida y compartirán contigo un
buen chisme. Más tarde será difícil que te escapes de bailar en la
sala transformada en una pista de baile.
Regla #4: Las fiestas latinas no tienen hora final
Y ahora para contestar la pregunta sobre a qué hora regresamos.
A diferencia de las fiestas a las que estás acostumbrado, en las
que se especifica una hora de comienzo y una hora final, le dije,
nosotros no creemos que la diversión tiene hora límite. Tan solo
el despedirse te puede tomar una hora. Además, tendrás suerte si
te escapas del cafecito al final de la noche. Quizás regresemos a la
casa a la medianoche. O quizás no. Una cosa sí es segura, definitivamente no podrás ver tu partido.

1. Buy Safe Toys
If you plan to buy toys for the kids in your life, choose
age-appropriate toys and look for labels with safety advice.
For young children, avoid toys with small parts, sharp edges,
and electric toys that can heat up. Always purchase safety

as bicycles or skateboards.

2. Celebrate on a Budget
The holidays can be expensive, but you don’t have to break
the bank to celebrate. Take a few minutes to decide how
rations, and other holiday expenses. Once you’ve created a
spending plan, keep track of your purchases.
Shopping online can help you stick to a budget as you’ll
avoid the temptation of store displays and may be able to
use coupons and promotion codes. Before you buy, look for

or two pounds during the holidays, these gains can add up

(like cranberry sauce and gravy) that you want to enjoy
during the holidays, but it’s best to put them in your checked

out at a local soup kitchen or food bank, you are directly
providing meals to hungry individuals.
4. Find Seasonal Employment
Even in a tough economy, businesses need extra help
around the holidays. Seasonal employment can help supplement your income and potentially lead to a permanent
position.
5. Get Through the Holiday Blues
The holidays aren’t joyous for everyone. This time of year
can bring stress and feelings of loneliness. Exercise, focusing on positive relationships, and doing things that you

is caused by the lack of sunlight. Treatment for SAD is
much like other forms of depression, but may also involve
light therapy.

Electricity bills can grow during the holidays if you decorate with strings of lights. Consider switching to LED

10. Keep Food Safe
leaving food out for long periods of time can invite bacteria

cook them thoroughly, use shallow containers, never leave
them sitting out for more than two hours, and keep them at
the appropriate temperature.

of your favorite dessert, you can.
Es importante recordar que los postres tienen bastantes carbohidratos
en tan solo una pequeña porción, así que tendrá que asegurarse de que
su porción sea pequeña. Puede incluir un postre dulce en su comida
pero substituya una porción de postre por otro carbohidrato que está
en su plan alimenticio.
For example, if you want a small serving of pumpkin pie, then pass on
eating a dinner roll or sweet potatoes during the main course.
Por ejemplo, si usted quiere un pedazo pequeño de pastel de calabaza,
no coma los rollos de pan o el puré de camote (o patatas) durante la
hora de comida.
Considere estos consejos durante los días festivos. Estos pueden ayudarlo a controlar su deseo de comer azúcar cuando se sirve el postre:

It is important to remember that most sweets have a lot of carbohydrate in a small portion so you’ll want to keep portion sizes small. You
can work a sweet treat into your meal plan but substituting a small
portion of dessert for other carbohydrate already in your meal plan.

Los días festivos y otras ocasiones especiales pueden ser difíciles por
la cantidad de postres ricos que se sirven. Si es pastel de cumpleaños,
pastel para el Día de Gracias, o helado para el 4 de julio, los dulces
estan en todos lados.
Decide ahead of time what and how much you will eat and how
you will handle social pressure (“No thank you, I’m too full.”).
Share one portion of dessert with someone else, and scrape off any
high-calorie whipped-cream topping or extra frosting.
Volunteer to bring your favorite dessert to social functions. Some
ideas are plain cookies, baked apples, or sugar-free puddings.
Is there someone else at the party who is trying to watch what they
eat? Avoid tempting sweets and ask them to join you for a walk
while dessert is out on the table.
And if you decide to have a treat, remember to cut back on the
other carbohydrate in your meal to help keep blood glucose levels
on track.
