How to Eat Out with Kids by Hattie Foote
(and
Survive!)
My name is Hattie Foote and I am not an expert on anything (except maybe Real Housewives). I am just your average mom, raising two babies in our beloved Coronado, California.
Have fun trying all of our wonderful restaurants around town. Don’t be afraid to venture out with the kiddos. In my experience people have been very kind and helpful during the hard moments.
Lets talk about eating out! More specifically, eating out with our darling, well behaved children. Ok ok, let a girl dream! Children as we know, can be challenging to take out to a restaurant. I am going to share my favorite local places to go with my motley crew. To be honest we don’t eat breakfast out very often, because you know how mornings are! It’s a miracle we get everyone up and moving before lunchtime! However, every Sunday you can find my family walking uptown for doughnuts from the Clayton’s window and a smoothie from Juice Crafters. It’s all about balance, ya know? Anytime we can eat without being confined to a table is a relief for me. We take our treats to the park or beach and voila, breakfast is served! That is until it’s time to eat again.
One other thing I learned early on is to come prepared. I’m talking Cheerios, crayons, wipes, and obviously patience. Fuzziwigs Candy Factory sells these great little Melissa and Doug Water Wow coloring books. They are compact and zero mess, I highly recommend them. I try not to bring electronics out during our meal, but I am not too proud! Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
For lunch, obviously Coronado Brewing Company is a real crowd pleaser. They just get families. You can also find us at Boney’s deli counter at least once a week! We love taking our sandwich’s down to the Ferry Landing and enjoying our usually perfect weather. Speaking of the Ferry Landing, Spiros Greek Café is great for lunch or dinner. My kids love the hummus and I haven’t met a kid that doesn’t like yummy warm pita bread. They also provide to go orders, so if you have to abort the mission due to a wild child, you can grab the food to go! My last favorite restaurant to take kids is Saiko Sushi. I know, kids aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to raw fish. However, we always order a bowl of miso soup and a bowl of rice. Between that and the chopsticks, they stay occupied for a good 7-9 minutes, which is pretty good if you ask me! Just bring a couple extra bucks for tip; we all know how fun it is to clean up rice!
Sometimes getting kids to even eat in the first place is a challenge in itself. I wish I had the answer there! If it makes you feel any better, I heard a legend about a kid that refused all food except for gummy bears, and that kid went on to be a college athlete! Now who knows if that is actually true, but it sure helps me sleep at night! We are all in this together and you guys are doing a wonderful job!
Last, but certainly not least is dessert. Keep it simple with some yummy ice cream from Moo Time! Silly Vanilly is the cutest and pretty tasty too. 2018 Coronado Magazine - March

Cocktail Time! We l c o m e th e sprin g seaso n wi th some fresh cocktai l i deas . Whether a proper drink party, casual sipping at sunset or jazzed up juice drinks enjoyed with brunch, cocktail scenarios imply relaxation, socialization and pure enjoyment. Everyone has their favorite go-to cocktail, but if you are up for some new tantalizing tastes, try some of these new drink recipes, created by beverage manager Michael Olczak of Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s Crown Landing. For a taste test, these drinks are part of their new spring menu and will be available March 21 in the Crown Landing and the Cays Lounge.

Primavera Chef - Ryan Moore
Cristos and Jeanette Stavros opened Primavera Ristorante on July 4 1989. Primavera was the first fine dining restaurant to open on Orange Avenue in the former location of a cocktail lounge called Secret Harbor. For 29 years the restaurant has been family owned. With the passing of Cristos, his daughter Denise has taken over the reins of this fine Italian cuisine restaurant. For the past five months Chef Ryan Moore has been at the helm of Primavera Ristorante’s kitchen. by Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan When Point Loma native Ryan Moore was a teenager he lived with his mother, a radiologist, in Palm Springs for a period of time. Because his mom was busy with work he had to make do on his own when it came to food. “I kind of experimented cooking for myself. I was fascinated with cooking shrimp, deglazing with wine and making pastas. My aunt had a cafeteria in Paris Valley and I worked there as a cashier. I always wanted to make sandwiches and cook the food. I knew what I wanted to do,” said Moore. After he graduated from Point Loma High School he started a twoyear program at the culinary school at Mesa College and worked at a family restaurant as a cook. Within a year he was promoted to kitchen manager. “I got a lot of experience and had a job offer at Chesapeake Bar & Grill,” he explained. There, Moore worked as a sous chef under renowned Chef Tim Sullivan. At that time Sullivan also owned Epazote and Cilantro. The experience at Chesapeake elevated Moore to a different level. “I learned to cut fish and meat, the operation of a restaurant, ordering, and running the staff. I was kind of doing it on my 40

own at the family restaurant [where I worked before]. This was a different level working with professionals. I progressed,” he said. Chesapeake focused on seafood and Italian cuisine but also sushi. The restaurant had a big kitchen, an oyster bar and a Cigar and Martini room in the back. In time Sullivan left the restaurant and Moore was promoted to chef. Still in his early 20s he found himself in charge of a $50,000 a week restaurant. He stayed at Chesapeake for four years and received Chef of the Year Award at the Beverly Hills Hotel. “It was a big honor,” he said of the award. Seafood has always been at the center of Moore’s cooking because of his Portuguese background. His dad was a tuna fishermen and his grandmother preserved the tuna in mason jars and Moore recalls having a tuna fish sandwich for lunch everyday growing up. Moore felt he needed to learn about the business and after Chesapeake he was hired at China Grill at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. “It was in the early 2000s when a lot of food transitioned into fusion and being a chef was popular. [The restaurant] was a fusion grill. I worked there and learned volume,” he said. The grill served $90 plates, had a huge lobster tank and the

crustaceans were prepared to order and also served whole fish. From Las Vegas Moore went to San Francisco. “I knew I needed to travel. San Diego wasn’t really happening then,” he said. In San Francisco he worked with star Chef Christopher Fernandez and eventually opened Dasaro Trattoria. “We had a freezer just for ice cream. Everything was made from scratch, salad dressing was made daily. We did our own bacon, ordered salmon whole, used Neiman Ranch meats and had the best artichokes and peaches. Even the garlic was sliced by hand. We peeled our own and when the pasta came out we sliced it to order,” he recalled.
“ I keep it consistent,
local, and fresh.”
His next stop was Champagne Bakery, a French restaurant where he was the first American chef that had ever worked there. After a year he met the owner of Mediterraneo in Alpine, a little Italian bistro with a twist. Moore worked at Mediterraneo for 10 years preparing dishes like pesto lasagna and capellini with arugula. Since taking over at Primavera, Moore has made some changes to the menu bringing in new, fresh local seafood. He offers two fish specials every day and always what’s in season. He has also promoted holidays pre-fix menu like their New Year’s Eve dinner, which brought in record sales. “When I started, some employees had worked here for years; it’s important to be consistent, we kept people in place. I took some stuff off the menu that did not sell, put in some potential sellers. People want real food, nice portions, good quality, local and fresh products. I keep it consistent, local and fresh. Our goal is to get a lot of business from tourism, locals and people nearby like from Little Italy to come to Coronado. Our service is top notch. That’s where we stand out. It’s personalized,” he explained. Some of his favorite dishes are braised veal shank or a brothy halibut braised with fennel, heirloom tomatoes and clams. “Comfort and fresh is my kind of thing,” he said. Moore has some of his own creations on the menu like the Eggplant Melanzana, rolled eggplant stuffed with ricotta and goat cheese and Grana Padano on the Happy Hour menu. A dish he started offering in the fall is Salmon with Apple Cider Glazed Risotto Croquette and baby arugula. What does he like most about being a chef? “I enjoy making people happy [with a good meal], the rush during dinner. I work as hard as everybody else in the kitchen but I like to come out and greet the guests,” he said. During lunch when the restaurant is closed Moore is often alone in the kitchen experimenting with food and trying new things. Although he enjoys the food he prepares, he is really into juicing right now. “I try to live a healthy lifestyle. I use my juicer a lot and I workout every day,” he said.
Primavera Ristorante Chef Ryan Moore has been at the helm of the fine dining restaurant for the past five months.

Bridesmaids’ Luncheon:
A Tradition to Keep
44
2018 Coronado Magazine - March
FOOD & DRINK
by Linda L. Austin Time marches on. Change happens, and progress usually improves life, but traditions tend to enrich experiences and add to the memories of an occasion. Maybe some things should not change. Weddings, an average of 7,000 performed each day, are bulging with traditions. Queen Victoria is responsible for two traditions in the western world weddings: the white gown, 1840, and Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” during the wedding processional, 1858. Engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was once thought that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart. Although wedding cakes date back to Roman days, the custom of tiered cakes, which seems to still be prevalent, evolved when the bride and groom attempted to kiss over an everhigher cake without knocking it over. Rice is no longer thrown as the couple leaves the ceremony because of environmental concerns for birds eating it. Birdseed or bubbles are sometimes substituted, but peas are thrown at Czech newlyweds. Wedding trivia is interesting. Recently my two oldest grandchildren married. One of those treasured traditions I missed was displaying the wedding presents. Having the gifts on a large table or filling a room for guests and family to view the costs nothing and adds to the enjoyment. Another tradition that seems obsolete is the bridesmaids’ luncheon. Perhaps the weeklong bridesmaids’ get-away is taking its place, but I decided to offer to host a luncheon, and both granddaughters accepted. Fortunately, my sister Jean and cousin Derith offered to help. The first luncheon was easy since we were all away from home for the destination wedding in St. Augustine, Florida, and had no choice but to have it catered. We chose a historic location and the menu. Our tasks were invitations, table centerpieces, and place cards. The bride, Chloe, gave her gifts to the bridesmaids following the dessert. A new tradition I have established for my grandchildren and the children of a few friends is a collection of short, personal letters written by the bridal party and family members, often at the rehearsal dinner, to be opened on appropriate anniversaries. At the bridesmaids’ luncheon, I passed out notecards with anniversary numbers on the envelopes,
1 – 25, saving some for the groomsmen. I collected the 25 letters during the weekend, stacked them in a decorative box, and presented them to the bride and groom. Instead of the letter, a piece of advice for the couple to read during their honeymoon is a fun alternative which can be part of a shower. My grandmother wrote one for me 54 years ago: “Never chop wood.” Evidently the first morning of her marriage she chopped wood to warm the house and that became her job! The second wedding and bridesmaids’ luncheon was in Coronado. We three again planned it, but we decided to be old-school and have it at my home. Since we all enjoy cooking, Jean is great with flowers, and Derith is multi-talented, I felt comfortable hosting twenty-three ladies for lunch. Mothers, a few other granddaughters, and special out-oftown family ladies joined the party. We set the main table for the honored guests with my china, silver, and crystal. The other tables were equally elegant but not matching the main table. Alex, the second bride, chose the menu: seafood crepes, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, and lemon bars. For a little color, we added two strawberries. Since we made the crepes and lemon bars and set the tables the day before, the work load was manageable the morning of the event. Besides, we had help from a niece and second cousin for the asparagus, which proved to be the most time consuming and difficult task. The prosciutto was delicate and tore easily, but the asparagus spears were delicious, extra special, and worth the trouble.
My daughter Jill purchased aprons with the bride’s colors for the three of us to wear. We were not only the chefs but, also, the wait staff, and we loved it. Flowers appeared on each table, but the head table featured my vintage wedding cake topper surrounded by flowers at the base. The bridesmaids were properly impressed; maybe they will save theirs and start their own tradition. Weddings take various forms, and the details should be the choice of the couple. For one wedding I attended, the bride wore a beautiful tea-length gown with visible, bulky combat boots. It was her wedding; she should be happy. Wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” may be a silly tradition, but the items themselves create memories. Traditions passed down in a family add smiles to the older members and can embellish the couple’s memory bank.
These aprons were a gift from the mother of the bride. From Left: Derith Bennett, Linda Austin and Jean McCleod

Seafood Newburg á la Alex
Crêpes
This recipe is adapted from a lobster Newburg recipe. Whisk to prevent burning. We doubled the recipe for 20 people, filled the crepes; put in a 9 x 13-inch dish and poured the remaining Newburg over. Ten minutes before ready to serve, we popped it into a 235º oven.
These crepes are perfect for any crepe recipe. They keep well in the refrigerator for several days. This recipe comes from Sunset Magazine.
In a heavy saucepan cook the seafood in the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes; add 2 tablespoons ½ stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter of the sherry and 3 tablespoons of the brandy. Cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon more minutes or until done. medium-dry Sherry Transfer the seafood with a slotted spoon to a bowl. 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon brandy Add the cream to the sherry mixture and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1 ½ cups heavy cream 1 cup. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon sherry, the remaining ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon brandy, the nutmeg, cayenne, cayenne to taste and salt to taste. 4 large egg yolks, beaten well Whisk the yolk, then add in dribbles to the toast points, rice, or crepes sherry mixture, whisking briskly all the time. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 140 degrees on a deepfat thermometer. Cook it, whisking, for 3 minutes more. Stir in the seafood and serve the Newburg over toast, rice, or in crepes. Serves 6

Beat eggs to blend, then mix in flour until smooth. Thoroughly blend in milk. To make crepes, melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch crepe pan over medium heat. Pour in about 2 ½ tablespoons crepe batter, tilting pan quickly to cover bottom evenly. Continue tilting until all batter sets. Cook until crepe is dry on surface. Run tip of a long spatula around rim to free, then turn crepe gently. Cook for only a few seconds until slightly browned on bottom. Invert cooked crepe onto a plate. Use at room temperature or cover to chill. If stacking, use waxed paper between crepes. Fill with cannelloni filling, seafood Newburg, egg mixtures, fruit and cheese, or simply cinnamon sugar. Roll and put in casserole dish. Cook as needed. Serves 8.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus I found it is easier to spread the Boursin and mustard on prosciutto before cutting into strips. May be made the day before, covered and refrigerated. This originated from Gourmet magazine, September, 1997. 30 medium-thin asparagus stalks 4 ounces peppered Boursin cheese, softened ¼ pound thinly sliced prosciutto ¼ cup honey mustard Trim the asparagus stalks so that the spears are 5 inches long. In a deep skillet bring 1 ½ inches salted water to a boil and cook the asparagus until they are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. In a colander, drain the asparagus and rinse under cold water. Drain the asparagus well on paper towels. In a bowl mash the Boursin cheese with a fork until it is smooth. Cut 1 slice of prosciutto lengthwise into 1-inch strips and spread each strip with about ½ teaspoon Boursin. Spread about ¼ teaspoon mustard over the Boursin and wrap each strip in a spiral around an asparagus spear, trimming any excess. Make more hors d’oeuvres with the remaining prosciutto, Boursin, mustard, and asparagus spears in the same manner. Serves ten as either an appetizer or a side.
Double Lemon Bars
This is the recipe I settled on for Alex’s bridesmaid luncheon after trying two others that were, also, very good. Originated at Bon Appetit, July, 1991. 1 ½ cups all purpose flour ½ cup powdered sugar ¾ cup butter, cut into pieces, room temperature 4 large eggs 1 ½ cups sugar ½ cup fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all purpose flour 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel Powdered sugar Preheat oven to 350º. Combine 1 ½ cups flour and ½ cup powdered sugar in large bowl. Add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press mixture into bottom of 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Maintain oven temperature. Beat eggs, 1 ½ cups sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon flour, and lemon peel in medium bowl to blend. Pour into crust. Bake until mixture is set, about 20 minutes. Cool. Cut into 24 bars. Sift powdered sugar over top before serving. 2018 Coronado Magazine - March

An Easy Tabletop Centerpiece
For this centerpiece, you need: - a tiered plate - cut flowers - a wedding cake topper
Cut the flowers and fill out the tiered plate with the flowers facing outwards. Have the wedding cake topper at the top. If you can used the bride’s own wedding cake topper, it can make it all the more special. However, here Linda used the wedding cake topper from her own wedding 50 years ago for her granddaughter’s bridesmaids’ luncheon.

What’s in Season? Asparagus Asparagus is a powerhouse vegetable that is most readily available in spring and early summer. It can be prepared in minutes in a multitude of ways. A little olive oil and seasonings and it can be roasted, grilled (thicker stems are good here), or quickly sautÊd. If steaming or blanching, add seasonings afterwards. Packed with vitamin K, vitamin B1 Thiamine, this stalky vegetable is a good source of fiber, a natural diuretic, aids digestion, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
A beautiful vegetable to add to any plate, asparagus comes in three colors: green, white and purple. Green asparagus is the most prevalent, getting its color from basic photosynthesis; white is grown without sunlight and you may need to peel the outer stem; purple is a different variety, lower in fiber and more tender and sweeter. When purchasing, look for bright green stalks with slightly purple tinted spears, with firm stems. The tips should be closed. Some people prefer thicker stalks, others thinner. Both are good, but thinner stalks are more tender. To store, keep in the refrigerator. It is best to keep it bundled, trim bottom stems, and stand ends in water or wrap ends in a wet paper towel. Loosely cover with a plastic bag. It should be good for 5-7 days.

The Coronado Historical Association Presents
Rosie the Riveter Day by Christine Stokes, Museum Director In honor of Women’s History Month and our rich local military history, the Coronado Historical Association is pleased to announce the celebration of Rosie the Riveter Day with the unveiling of our very own Rosie the Riveter Garden at the Annual Coronado Flower Show. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced Congressional Resolutions to designate March 21, 2018, as National Rosie the Riveter Day, a national day of recognition for the millions of women who supported the war effort on the homefront during World War II. The National Rosie the Riveter Day honors the vital contributions that were made by countless American women of all backgrounds during World War II who joined the workforce in increasing numbers and took on new roles previously held by men.
Here in Coronado, Rosies contributed immensely on the homefront, especially helping to build planes. In 1944, the Navy added 250 single units for civilian women working at North Island. In 1940, Ryan Aeronautical company received a new contract from the U.S. War department calling for construction of 200 metal training planes. According to the Coronado Eagle and Journal on March 22, 1945, “the title of ‘world’s smallest aircraft worker’ was claimed for Mildred Chapman by her follow workers of the Ryan Aeronautical Company.” At four and a half feet high, Miss Chapman was a Rosie who installed weights in rudder parts on a jig especially cut down to her size in the Final Assembly department. America’s Longest Working Rosie, Elinor Otto 97, led a national campaign that has arrived here in Coronado. Her goal, along with the Spirit of ‘45 Foundation, is to create
Mildred Chapman working at the Ryan Aeronautical Company, March 22, 1945. Coronado Eagle and Journal.
According to Congress, between 1940 and 1945, the percent of women in the workforce jumped from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by the end of the war, nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home. These ‘Rosie the Riveters’ took positions across various industries, but the aviation industry saw the biggest increase of female workers – with more than 310,000 working in the aircraft industry in 1943, representing 65 percent of its workforce. Phyllis Gould, 96, of Fairfax, California, was one of the first six women to work as a Navy-certified journeyman welders at the Kaiser-Richmond shipyards from 1942-1945. Over the last eight years she has personally met with Vice President Joe Biden, written to Presidents Obama and Trump, Vice President Pence, and spoken with or written to countless Members of Congress in support of a National Rosie the Riveter Day. 52

a national network of rose gardens that will be living memorial to the achievements of her fellow Rosies and that she hopes will be an inspiration to women of all ages. Coronado’s garden, like others nationally, will feature the new Rosie the Riveter Rose. The Rosie Gardens throughout the country represent the “handing of the torch” from the World War II Rosies to today’s girls to become 21st Century Rosies. The gardens are symbol of the Rosies who worked in traditionally male jobs, encouraging young girls today to study science, technology, and math (STEM) to have an impact in their world the way the Rosies did during World War II. The Spirit of ‘45 Foundation partnered nationally with the Girl Scouts to advocate for women in STEM industries. The first Rosie Rose Garden was planted by the National Park Service at its Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front Historical Park in Richmond, California, on March 21, 2017. The national project is an initiative of Spirit of ’45, a nonprofit alliance of organizations and individuals that promotes public awareness and participation in Spirit of ’45 Day, the annual day honoring the men and women of the World War II generation. Spirit of ’45 Day was passed unanimously by the U.S. Congress in 2010, and is now observed in communities throughout America each year during the second weekend in August. “Eventually, Rosie Roses will be blooming in communities everywhere in America to help educate people about the Rosies and how they paved the way for greater opportunities for women in the workplace,” said Linda Laurie, who is coordinating the national effort, working with the American Rose Society and other groups. Here in Coronado, our Rosie Garden will be announced on National Rosie Day, March 21, and the garden will be a vibrant part of Coronado’s annual April Flower Show.

Decking Out In Coronado Recherché by Jas Blynn
Spring/Summer 2018 is around the corner ladies; and now is the time freshen up and cue up for the new trends that are staking claim in Paris, NYC, and London! First things first....it’s time to say good bye to some old comfort looks, as hard as it is, but it’s great to step out of your element and experience new looks and progressions. Here goes: Bye bye, Boho, no more peasant looking tops or hippie mama chic. Though Coachella will always be a yearly event! Next on the list, au revoir, cold shoulders, those cut out shoulder shirts! You were in quick and out just as quick. That is a true fashion “fad!” But off the shoulder or showing shoulder is still in. Number three, no more chokers... Guess that went with the last installment of Fifty Shades! Joking!
Distressed jeans..... yes! Finally, no guilt for purchasing a pair of ripped , tattered jeans at full price. This will be replaced briefly with patched jeans, only through the summer, I might add. Any pom pom item, including jewelry, well, best to keep it with the cheerleaders in the family. That’s the only place pom poms tassels will look fashionable any longer! Bye bye, to corsets! Not sure they really took off to begin with, but any spillage over is best with wine anyhow! Finally, and sadly, leggings are going to go away. I do think a return is imminent down the road. Women love them. But, for now, it’s ciao to the leggings we all have come to adore.

We can’t leave out stripes. They are way over done, but will continue to hold strong till the end of summer 2018. Who is complaining, as they are flattering and so great to wear to the Yacht club for drinks. Just match a blue striped off the shoulder top, no cold shoulder, with some denim high cuffed jeans and wrap your fanny belt around your waist with your small items needed. Yes, your fanny belt! Oh, yes, did I forget to mention, fanny belts are the rage everywhere, who knew? Make sure you are wearing yours again or have updated it. Lots of designers have custom made their leather belts with a fanny bag attached! Clever. Add some gold pearl jewelry to give substance, then add pink glossy lips. Matte is out. Gloss is in! And, if chilly, nothing better then an anorak or wind breaker. These jackets are a legacy now. Finish your nautical look wearing clear heeled shoes with the cuffed jeans. (Did I mention that cuffed jeans are in?) The clear heeled shoes are again a product of years past. Do I dare mention shoulder pads are huge for Fall 2018? Stay tuned!

TAXES & YOU
Don’t Get Scammed! There are many scammers trying to steal your identity, steal your money, or file fraudulent tax returns using your private information. Tax scammers work yearround, not just during tax season, and they target virtually everyone. Stay alert to the ways criminals pose as the IRS to trick you out of your money or personal information. The best thing to remember to protect yourself is that the IRS will never initiate contact with you via telephone, text message, email, or social media to request personal or financial information. The IRS will always first send a letter requesting information. Recently there has been an IRS impersonation telephone scam. This is an aggressive and sophisticated telephone scam targeting taxpayers throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call because they use fake names, bogus IRS identification badge numbers and they may know a lot of information about their targets by gathering information from online resources. They also use Caller ID spoofing to make it look like the IRS is calling. Also, if the phone is not answered, the scammers often leave an urgent callback request. Victims are often told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre66
loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation, or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Alternatively, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private financial information.
If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, do not provide any information to the caller and hang up immediately. If you know you owe tax, or think you might owe, you should call your tax professional or the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 where you can get help with a payment issue. If you know you do not owe any tax, or have no reason to believe that you do, you have the option The IRS will never call to do any of the to report the incident to TIGTA (Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration) following: at 1-800-366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov. You could also contact the Federal Trade • Demand immediate payment Commission and use the “FTC Complaint • Call about taxes owed without first having Assistant” at www. ftc.gov. When filing the mailed you a bill complaint, add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments. • Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the By Nathan Ihm, EA Nathan is an Enrolled Agent and Registered Investment Advisor and can be reached by amount they say you owe phone at Westax, Taxes and Financial Wellness, • Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card • Ask for credit, debit card, or PIN numbers over the phone • Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying

Bring the Garden into the Kitchen: Growing Indoor Herbs It might be that your yard is small. Or that you don’t like hunting for thyme in the dark as you put together your evening meal. Maybe insects like your basil as much as you do. Whatever the reason, growing herbs indoors might be a perfect solution. And there is nothing like fresh herbs to make a meal outstanding.

GARDENING
There are many different types of herbs to grow, some easier than others. Start with deciding what you would like to grow and make the commitment to spend a little time on them. You can start with seeds, which can be a little more difficult to grow, or go to your nursery and get some seedlings. Some suggestions would be chives, dill, lemon balm, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme. There are so many more. Once you’ve purchased your seedlings, the next thing to think about is what to put them in. Herbs need a lot of drainage. Be sure the pots you choose have a hole in the bottom and sit in a tray. Some recommend clay pots, others choose plastic or metal containers. Each herb plant needs its own pot. A rule of thumb is to make sure the pots are 6 - 12 inches deep. If you plan on using a lot of herbs in your cooking, go big on the pot so the herb has room 72
to grow. When it comes to the soil, use a good potting mix, not potting soil. Potting mixes have perlite, those tiny white stones that help aerate the root system, perfect for potted herbs. When planting, leave about 1 inch from the top of the pot for watering.
2018 Coronado Magazine - March
When placing your potted herbal plant in your home, consider a window that gets about 4-6 hours of sunlight. Most herbs need at least 4 hours of sunlight, but prefer 6-8 hours. That being said, a southerly window is perfect, with
a eastern or western facing window the second choice. Florescent lights can help, if need be. During the summer or late fall when Coronado has some hot weather, be sure the leaves are not touching the window pane where it might get too hot. The good news is that herbs generally like the same temperatures we keep our homes, at 65º-70º. Give each pot enough space for good air circulation between plants and periodically rotate the pots to make sure each side is exposed to sunlight. When it comes to watering, herbs like to dry out between waterings. Put your finger about two inches into the soil. If the soil is dry, water thoroughly and slowly until the water comes out of the bottom hole. This will create a healthy root system that will grow downwards and it will help avoid a salt build up in the soil from our San Diego tap water. Fertilize herbs with high nitrogen, lower level phosphorus fertilizer, one that is good for edible plants, at least once a week, or once every two weeks, during the summer for strong, leafy growth. Only fertilize once a month when the growing season is slower. Be careful to not over fertilize; that can dilute the flavor. One of the latest trends is fertilizing with fish emulsion or liquid seaweed. Both seem to have benefits to potted herb plants. If you notice your herbs have too much whispy, delicate growth, cut back on the fertilizer. Likewise, if they look as though they are struggling, fertilize. Once you notice some new growth on your plants and they are about six inches tall, you can begin to enjoy them in your foods. To harvest, pinch off the tips of plants up to two to three inches, always leaving about two-thirds of the plant in tact. Harvesting herbs will encourage future growth. Fresh herbs can be a delicious addition to your recipes and meals. And they look pretty in a windowsill. And now is a perfect time to plant seeds or seedlings for the months ahead.
Easy Herbs to Grow
Most culinary herbs are easy to grow in a pot, indoors or out. Here are some guidelines on just some of the many varieties out there. Basil The scent, the taste of basil - there’s nothing like it. This versatile herb loves warm weather and light and likes its soil more on the dry side, so watering in the morning is a good idea. Pinch the flowers off as they come in. Bay Bay offers a unique flavor to soups and sauces. This perennial does well in a pot and prefers a window facing east or west and likes a lot of space for air circulation. Chives Perfect for salads, baked potato topper, soups and more. Another easy one to grow that requires about 4-5 hours of sunlight. This is one herb that does like its soil moist. Coriander/Cilantro To avoid it flowering and going to seed as it tends to do quickly, put in a shady area, keep it watered and fertilized and cut back leaves frequently. Mint Mmm… think mojitos, strawberries with mint, chocolate mouse with mint. I could go on. Chocolate, sweet, peppermint, and any other variety of mint is easy to grow in a container. In fact, if you plant outside without a container, it will spread. And spread. And spread some more, possibly to areas where you may not want it. Mint will thrive even if it doesn’t get as much sun as it would like. Oregano A perfect addition to any Italian dish, this herb is easy to control in a pot, but loves light. Put in a south or southwest facing window. Parsley Who doesn’t like parsley? Used in so many dishes and as a pretty topper when plating food. This may take some time to get going from seed, so buying a seedling may be in order. It is not as particular about having strong sun. This plant can last up to two years. Rosemary This woodsy flavored herb takes roasted vegetables and meats to a new level. This annual herb can be contained in a pot, but does not like its soil wet. Water once a week in the morning. Tarragon This herb takes you back to Provençe with its delicate and delicious flavor, perfectly paired with chicken, seafood, salads and so much more. Add to your favorite soups and sauces, salads and meats. This herb, although perennial, needs to have a dormant stage in the late fall or early winter. This can be done by moving to a cool location with limited sun. Once leaves die back, put in you south facing window and enjoy. It likes to be fertilized, too. Thyme A go-to flavors soups, sauces, and casseroles, this herb literally spills out of its pot. It prefers its soil a little on the dry side and likes lots of light, but can survive in an east or west facing window. Sage Sage has a unique flavor, excellent with chicken, risottos, soups. This one needs its pots well drained and can be more easily grown from seed than other herbs. It also likes a lot of sun. 2018 Coronado Magazine - March

Craft Beer 101 by Greg Nettles As any self described beer connoisseur would and should, I find myself drinking a nice cold pint of IPA while I write this article... Unless you live under a rock, or just don’t drink beer, San Diego is one of the largest craft beer brewery cities in the nation, rivaling Seattle and Portland for that title. San Diego county is home to almost 200 craft breweries and tasting rooms. It’s hard to go to a restaurant, sports bar or grocery store in San Diego and not find some of the finest craft beer in the country on tap or in bottles. Coronado is no exception. In fact Coronado is home to one of the county’s larger craft breweries, Coronado Brewing Company. But you don’t have to just go to their brewpub to find great craft beers in Coronado, you can find great craft beers on tap or in bottles at just about every restaurant and liquor store in Coronado! Pardon me as I pull a Cliff Clavin (those old enough to be fans of the TV show Cheers) in this next paragraph. A craft brewery is defined as a locally owned and operated brewery that brews less than 6 million barrels of beer annually and less than 25% is owned or controlled by a larger alcohol company. To put this in perspective, Stone Brewing Company, San Diego’s largest craft brewer, brewed 388,000 barrels in 2017. Coronado Brewing brewed over 40,000 barrels in 2017. A barrel of beer is 31 gallons. A full keg considered a ½ barrel and is 15.5 gallons or 124 pints of beer. That’s a lot of beer! Beer is basically made of four simple ingredients: water, grains, hops and yeast. There are literally thousands of variations of these four ingredients to make thousands of different kinds of beers, and yes I said thousands! It can be argued that beer can be more complex and actually pair better with food than wine does (wine connoisseurs shudder). Here are a few definitions of beer styles from lightest to strongest to impress your
spouse or your date you just met! First, some basic terms to know about beer. ABV equals Alcohol By Volume. IBU stands for “International Bitterness Units,” it is the amount of hops which produce bitterness and flavor in beer. The higher the IBU’s the more bitter a beer tastes. Pilsner or American Lager - 4.1-5.1% ABV, brewed with two row barley, low in hops, gold in color, with high clarity and high carbonation. This is a mild beer and great for beginner beer drinkers. It goes great with a burger, a grilled chicken salad or any seafood. My favorite San Diego Lager Longfin Lager, Ballast Point Wheat or Wit - 3.5-5% ABV, also low in hops, brewed with wheat, low in hops, yellow in color and usually cloudy. Can be also be brewed with citrus fruits such a oranges. My favorite San Diego Wit Orange Ave. Wit, Coronado Brewing Company Pale Ale - 4.4-5.4% ABV, low to medium-high hops flavor and aroma. It has a medium body and low to medium maltiness and caramel in color. This beer pairs awesome with grilled meats and potatoes. My favorite San Diego Pale Ale - .394, Alesmith (honoring the late Tony Gywnn’s 1994 season batting average) Irish Style Red - 4.1-4.6% ABV, low in hops. It has a medium body or maltiness and is copper red to reddish brown in color and can be clear to hazy in clarity. This beer pairs great with sharp cheeses, roasted vegetables or lamb. My favorite San Diego Red - Karl Strauss Red Trolley IPA - (My personal favorite) 6.3-7.3% ABV, high in hop bitterness, light to medium body with a yellow to gold color with a generally clear appearance. This beer takes some getting used to, but once your pallet adjusts to the bitterness levels, you will crave the bold flavors it produces. This beer pairs great with BBQ, Steak or just about anything in my opinion. My favorite San Diego IPA - Duet, Alpine Brewing Cheers!!! 2018 Coronado Magazine - March
