Food for body and spirit

Valley Library’s ‘Books Appétit’

BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR

There’s a famous proverb that says “Necessity is the mother of invention.” That was certainly true 14 years ago when the annual Books Appétit event was dreamed up.

“The ‘new’ library was built and now we had a sizable mortgage to pay,” recalled event board chair Donna Simpson. “Books Appétit was created as a fundraiser to help pay the mortgage. And the development committee was looking for a fundraiser that involved the local community — restaurants and businesses highlighting their specialties.”

The mortgage has since been paid off, but the event has become an annual sign of spring in the Mid Valley.

The Valley Community Library, 739 River St. in Peckville, will host its 14th annual Books Appétit on Thursday, May 2, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Attendees will sample food and drink donated by local restaurants and markets, served among the stacks. There will also be dozens of

Food and raffle baskets will line the bookshelves at the Valley Community Library on Thursday, May 2. raffle baskets.

“There are numerous businesses around the Mid Valley who generously donate food items,” Simpson said. “I can’t think of any business we asked who refused us.

We also have great support in donations of gifts, raffle baskets and cash from local businesses.”

This year’s special event will be a wine tasting by Case Quattro Winery of Peckville and Dunmore. Guests will be able to sample Case Quattro wines, and bottles will be available for sale.

Event tickets are $25, by cash or check only. Wine or beer is included.

All proceeds from Books Appétit benefit the Library.

Helping even more, Books Appétit is a NEPA Match Day event, “so up to $1,000 of funds raised will be

matched by the Scranton Area Community Foundation,” Simpson noted. “This generous program provides dollar-for-dollar matching during a specific time frame of donations to non-profit

organizations. For more information, visit safdn.org.

Guests are also encouraged to bring new socks or toiletries to donate to the Gino Merli Veterans Center.

Low Back Pain: An Ice Pack or the Hot Tub? Many patients initially do some self-care when injured, hoping this will keep them out of a doctor’s office. Home remedies sometimes make the pain go away and sometimes they don’t; it depends on how severely the back is injured.

Heat can sometimes soothe muscle pain.

For this reason, many patients take to the hot water bottle or the hot tub to try and get relief. Avoid this with a new injury because inflammation is present. With inflammation, there is increased heat and the additional heat you provide is like adding gasoline to a fire. The results are usually not good. A better choice is to ice the area, but this also needs to be done with some caution.. While effective, you can cause a frostbite injury if you leave the pack on for too long.You should most definitely not fall asleep while the pack is on. If this simple procedure does not solve the problem after one week , then it’s time to call me.

Sunny surprise

Grandma’s Lemon Linzer Cookies offer sweet flavor with a kick

By GiA mAZUR sTAFF wRITER

S

haron Kanton keeps up sweet traditions.

Growing up, Kanton spent time in the kitchen with her grandmother, where she learned the ins and outs of baking. She keeps those memories alive by making new ones with her own grandchildren — Olivia, Alexis, Logan, Hudson and Daphne — who range in age from 9 years to 10 months old. It’s never too early to get started baking, Kanton said.

“We’ll set them up in a highchair and everyone gets a job to do,” Kanton said during a recent afternoon inside the Dickson City home she shares with husband, James. “That’s how I learned and I love doing that with them. We have a lot of fun.”

Olivia and Alexis even inspired one of her most popular recipes: Lemon Linzer Cookies, though the girls have dubbed them “Raspberry Lemonade Cookies.” After the girls tasted a raspberry lemonade drink, they knew the tart lemon taste would perfectly complement the Linzer cookies — white sandwich cookies filled with raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar — that grandma made.

And they were right.

“They came up with the idea,” Kanton said. “I would have never thought to put lemon in (the recipe), but they knew it would be good.”

T h e c o o k i e s, wh i c h earned Kanton a $50 grocery gift card, follow the

Coming next week:

Meet the next local cook and their winning recipe.

THETimES-TRiBUNE.COm typical Linz er recipe, though Kanton said she had to add a bit more flour along with the addition of the lemon extract.

Kanton advised bakers not make the balls of dough too big and try and keep them on the smaller side to yield a smaller cookie. She also insisted butter be used in the recipe — no substitutions. The secret to the recipe, however, just might be her baking partners who scrutinize the final product for impeccable craftsmanship and flavor.

“My favorite part is tasting them,” Alexis said.

Lemon Linzer Cookies tasted like a sunny day.

The tartness from the raspberry and lemon flavors was just enough to add a kick to the flavor without overpowering the buttery cookie. The texture was so dangerously light and fluffy, it’s easy to eat many of them in one sitting. It’s hard to care about overdoing it when something tastes so delicious, though.

Kanton’s other treats sound just as good. From Peanut Butter Cookies to Chocolate Powdered Sugar Cookies; Polish delicacies

and different kinds of nut rolls and savory options, like pierogies and stromboli, there’s always lots of activity in the kitchen at Kanton’s Midvalley home.

She makes more than 50 different types of cookies at Christmastime, but also bakes for Easter, family parties and more. Next up are special goodies for Alexis’ First Holy Communion.

No matter the occasion, Kanton is happy to be sharing something she loves with her grandchildren. And they’re happy about it, too.

“It’s Grandma’s house, we’re supposed to have fun,” Olivia said.
