THE SEASON OF

GRATITUDE

BY DENISE LYON

RICH FOGS HIDE THE OCEANS OF NOVEMBER, AND AUTUMN TIME BRINGS COLOR AND WARMTH.

Coronado Magazine | P9

“I am thankful for the nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family and dreams that turned into reality.�

Gratitude helps us appreciate what we already have and reminds us of our remarkable ability to adapt and change as our circumstances are altered. The holidays are almost here and though we won’t be celebrating like we have in the past, we can still find so much to be thankful for. There still is beauty and goodness around us. Be creative. Share it with those around you.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

Cinnamon Rolls

Serves 12.

Baking fresh cinnamon rolls is a wonderful way to begin your day. You can make them the night before and bake them in the morning. The whole kitchen will smell warm and inviting.

The Dough: 1 cup warm milk 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast 2 large eggs at room temperature 1/3 cup salted butter just barely melted 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup granulated sugar

The Filling: 1/2 cup salted butter, almost melted 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon

The Frosting: 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast over top. Add the eggs, butter, salt and sugar. Add in 4 cups flour (save the other 1/2 cup and add only if you need it) and mix using the beater blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the flour has time to soak up the liquids.

Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook. Beat the dough on medium speed, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if needed to form a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth. The dough should be tacky and will still be sticking to the sides of the bowl. That’s ok! Don’t be tempted to add more flour at this point. We generally add about 4 1/2 cups, but start with 4 cups.

Remove the dough from the mixer bowl and place it in the greased large bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel or wax paper.

Set the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise until doubled. Option: Turn on the oven to the lowest setting for 1-2 minutes, turn off, place dough inside to rise. It normally takes about 30 minutes for the dough to rise.

Prepare the cinnamon filling. In a medium bowl, combine soft butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until well combined. Set aside.

Sprinkle a pastry mat generously with flour. Turn out the dough onto mat and sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about a 24x15” rectangle. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle. Starting on the long end, roll the dough up tightly jelly roll style. Cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover the pan, allow rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until nearly doubled.

Preheat the oven to 375º. Once rolls have risen, bake 20-22 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through. Cool.

Prepare the powdered sugar glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and vanilla extract with a splash of cream or milk, to a spreadable consistency. Blend well. Spread the frosting over the cooled rolls.

Dinner Rolls

Makes 12.

Make your dinner rolls more interesting by tying them with string before you bake them and they will come out of the oven looking like little pumpkins. They are a showstopper and delicious too.

Ingredients: 1 cup warm milk 1 (.25 ounce) package or 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste 4 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon fine salt 3 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed Kitchen string, 48 pieces 10 inches long Vegetable oil, or as needed 6 whole pecans cut vertically in half Egg wash (1 egg blended with a fork) *You can use frozen bread dough or make your own.

Combine warm milk, yeast, honey, and butter in a bowl; stir.

Add salt and most of the flour, reserving the rest for dusting.

Stir, using a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Dust work surface with leftover flour. Knead dough until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, adding more flour as needed. Form dough into a ball that springs back lightly when pressed. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased foil, let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, place the 10 inch strings into a bowl, toss with oil to coat; set aside.

Press risen dough down on a work surface. Cut dough in half and cut each half into 6 wedges. Roll each into a round ball by cupping your hand over the dough and pressing and rolling lightly in a circular motion for 10 to 15 seconds. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375Âş. Line two baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper. Place four pieces of string on your work surface. Crisscross strings over a center point into a star formation. Place a dough ball, smooth side-down, onto the center point. Firmly tie each string, spaced as evenly as possible, into a knot over the center of the roll. Snip off excess string using scissors. Place tied roll onto prepared baking sheet, knot-side down.

Gently push finger into center until the sides push out of the string and it resembles a pumpkin shape. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Let rolls rise for about 30 minutes.

Brush egg wash on top of rolls. Bake in center of the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool about 15 minutes. Cut strings off of each roll at the tops and peel down carefully to remove. Cut a small hole in the tops of each roll and press the pecan “stems� into each hole.

Makes 12 rolls.

Sugar Pumpkin Soup

Makes 4-6.

This time of year, the stores are full of beautiful squashes and pumpkins of all varieties. This year I roasted a whole pumpkin, peeled it and made a soup that I served in a scooped out and broiled squash. If you want to make something faster, you can buy canned pumpkin and make a quick and hearty soup.

To serve in small pumpkins or round squash, hollow out, brush the tops with butter and put under the broiler for a few minutes for that charred look.

Sugar Pumpkin Soup 2 sugar pumpkins or pumpkin puree (2 pumpkins yield ~3 cups) 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 medium shallots or sweet onions, diced (about ¼ cup) 3 medium cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon dried thyme 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth 1 cup canned coconut milk (or substitute half and half or milk) 4 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar 1/2 teaspoon each sea salt, black pepper

Garlic Kale Sesame Topping (Optional) 1 cup roughly chopped kale 1 large clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut off the tops of the sugar pumpkins and then halve them. Use a sharp spoon to scrape out all seeds and strings. Brush pumpkin with oil and place face down on the baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a fork easily pierces skin. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then peel away skin and set pumpkin aside.

To a large saucepan over medium heat add olive oil, shallots, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned and translucent. Add remaining ingredients, including pumpkin, and bring to a simmer.

Transfer soup mixture to blender or use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Pour mixture back into pot. Continue cooking over medium-low heat 5-10 minutes and taste, adjusting seasonings. Serve with Kale-Sesame topping or sprinkle soup with toasted shelled pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of parsley.

In a small skillet over medium heat, dry toast sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until slightly golden brown.

Be careful as they can burn quickly. Remove from pan and set aside. To the still hot pan, add olive oil and garlic and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add kale and toss, then add a pinch of salt. Cook for another few minutes until kale is slightly wilted and then add sesame seeds back in. Toss to coat and set aside for topping soup.

P22 | Coronado Magazine

In 1918, on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, the signed Treaty of Versailles of World War I went into effect, ceasing the 52 long months of the “war to end all wars.”

November 11 went on to be known as Armistice Day, a day that should be “commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations,” in a resolution passed by Congress in 1926.

In 1954, it became Veterans Day, a day to honor all veterans and their organizations.

Two years ago marked the centennial of the Armistice Day. The significance of that date is especially poignant to John Lepore and his family here in Coronado, since John’s father, Charles Lepore, fought in that war. John carries many memories and memorabilia of his dad’s time in the war.

“My father never spoke about when he fought in France with the American Expeditionary Forces in 1918, but he treasured Armistice Day as the one day he could honor his buddies killed in the ‘war to end all wars’” said John.

John found that the movies that commemorate World War I, like “1917” and “They Shall Not Grow Old,” fleshed out some of what his father went through when he served.

John told how his father came to be in the war. “My dad was born in Boston, 1898, into a family of 11 siblings. He struggled getting along with his dad, his school (he was expelled at 12 years old), and his neighborhood. His father made him do odd jobs after he left school for

Coronado Magazine | P23

the next four years until his scraps with the law got worse. He was about 16 when a judge said to his probation officer, “Get him into the Army or he goes to jail.”

That was how Charles Lepore became an Army Reservist.

Within weeks of putting on a uniform, his Army outfit was called upon to capture Pancho Villa, the Mexican bandit who was raiding border towns along the Rio Grande River near El Paso, Texas.

Young Charles enjoyed the hunt for Villa almost as much as boxing, drinking and gambling with his Army pals. On one occasion, he became the proud owner of a donkey he won in a poker game. The fighting that caused him so much trouble in Boston, became an asset when he boxed for his Army Company.

The game of playing soldier in Texas was short-lived. He was called back to Boston to be part of the newly formed Yankee Division (YD), preparing to enter World War I in France. The horror of trench warfare on the Western Front of France stood in stark contrast to the traipsing along the Texas border towns.

When Charles confessed he lied about his age to sign up for the YD, his sergeant said, “That’s ok. You are assigned to the Ambulance Corps until you age out, then you will go to the front lines and join your unit.”

One night Charles and several other soldiers stole an ambulance and drove to a bar in a small town. On the return trip the drunken doughboys smashed into a pole outside their quarters. The next morning the sergeant wanted the names of the men responsible, or the whole unit would move out to the front lines. Since the troops knew they were due to go to the front anyway, no one volunteered their names.

However, it was sobering for Charles to pick up the battered bodies of Ameri-

can soldiers and bring them back. Later it became even more traumatic when he entered trench warfare with all its brutality - the mud, rain, rats, barbed wire, artillery rounds, tank charges and even poison gas attacks.

“According to Army records,” said John, “my dad spent most of 1918 battling the Germans on the Western Front.

The battles he was engaged in were: P24 | Coronado Magazine

Chemin des Dames Section, Toul Sector, Chateau Thierry Offensive, St. Mihiel, Trogon Sector and lastly, the Meuse Argonne Offensive where he was felled by mustard gas.”

The war ended for Charles at this point. He was taken to a hospital in LeMans, France to recover.

“While my father recuperated in the French hospital from the effects of mus-

tard gas, a young woman, named LuLu, would visit my dad and walk him around hospital grounds,” said John. “Her mother accompanied them, always a few yards behind, the custom of the times. I learned of this romance from letters my dad saved. In my home, the name ‘LuLu’ was bandied about jokingly quite a few times, such as ‘I should have married LuLu,’ or conversely, ‘You should have married LuLu.’ This did not deter my parents staying married for 65 years.”

When Charles recovered from his illness, he boarded a troop ship heading home with the last remnants of the American Expeditionary Forces. Upon arriving in Boston in 1919, he immediately passed out. He thought the cause of his distress was sweating from his heavy woolen uniform. In fact, he fell victim to the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919 that struck Europe and America quite hard. Again, Charles was hospitalized for several weeks.

John spoke about his father after the war. “The war in France forever changed my dad, according to his brothers. He gave up his pugilistic past and became a model family man working two jobs most of his life. When in 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked, four of Charles’ younger brothers enlisted immediately in the Marines and the Army, while my dad tried his best to prepare them for the hell of combat.”

One brother, Capt. Billy Lepore was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. He died in the Burma Campaign, and received the Silver Star award posthumously, for saving several of his men.

The Lepore family would march in the annual Armistice Day parade in their hometown, which was a huge affair.

Charles and his brothers, veterans all, and their mother, part of the Civilian Defense Organization, and even his grandmother, a Gold Star mother, would take part for

many years.

Once out of the service, Charles worked for CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) government camps building roads, then an ice cream factory (his family loved that job), and then finally for the U.S. Post Office for 35 years in Boston, where he retired. Throughout his life, he always worked as a bartender as a second job.

Charles married, had two daughters and one son. John, being the only male that could sign up for the military, followed the tradition of his family and did so in 1966. Unlike his father, he hadn’t been forced into the service.

He volunteered from a parish in Hull, Massachusetts, believing that the war in Vietnam was honorable and became part of the Navy Chaplain corps so that he could serve the Marines. He served on active duty for the next seven years and then stayed in the Navy Reserves as a public affairs officer.

Today, John feels strongly about war being the epitome of man’s inhumanity to man. “It is a form of insanity that afflicts us still today, although to a lesser extent than wars of the past. In 1955, Pope Paul VI warned the United Nations in his famous speech ‘War No More - War Never Again’ and if heeded, the world could realistically enter a new golden age of peace. If war is not banned by all nations, the prophecy of John F. Kennedy will be realized, ‘Either mankind will put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.’”

John left the Navy Chaplain Corps and the priesthood on the same day in June, 1974, returning home to Everett, Massachusetts, to be a high school counselor and coach for 20 years. He married and eventually they moved to his wife’s hometown, Coronado, in 1994, after he retired. They divorced, but today live on Coronado Magazine | P25

the same street. John found a home in Coronado, stayed and later remarried.

John and his wife Betty have many items of Charle’s time in the service from World War I on display in their home. “I revere my dad’s World War I souvenirs, his helmet and gas mask, as reminders of the sacrifices he and my uncles made in the two world wars of the last century,” said John.

“Despite my dad’s mild demeanor in his post war life, I found that beneath his calm surface, he harbored a simmering anger that rarely percolated out. [But when it did] I learned my father had my back no matter what I did…The war damaged his lungs, but not his devotion to family, especially his only son.”

Military shadow box jointly contain awards Given to PFC Charles Lepore (WWI) and son CDR John Lepore (Vietnam). As John Says “Dad and I share the same shadow box because we didn’t receive a lot of medals in our limited Active Duty - but we both got Purple Hearts. The place of honor in the center of the box is my mom’s arm band. During WW II she served in our city’s Civil Defense Organization. When mock air raids were staged over Greater Boston, she would man her Fire Warden post in the neighborhood, and retrieve ‘ribbon’ bombs for identification.”

Coronado’s Avenue Of Heroes The Avenue of Heroes Banner program is a military service recognition program sponsored by the City of Coronado.

Introduced in 2014, the program has honored 163 Hometown Heroes.

The City funds all the costs for this program and volunteers from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2422, the Coronado Historical Association and the Avenue of Heroes Neighborhood

Association oversee its operation.

The inspiration for Coronado’s Avenue of Heroes came spontaneously in 2014 with the movement of two Navy SEALs to their final resting place. News spread quickly in Coronado. The local Rotary Club passed out American flags. People lined Fourth Street to honor the fallen service members. As the procession approached the San Diego-Coronado

Bridge, a lone Navy SEAL stood for hours at attention, saluting as he waited for the passage of his comrades. At that moment, it was clear that Third and Fourth Streets were already an Avenue of Heroes.

The program was launched in May 2015 with 18 banners. Ceremonies are held twice yearly, and heroes have been recognized from the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps.

~ Virtual Ceremony ~ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City and Avenue of Heroes Committee postponed the first of their twice-annual Hometown Heroes ceremonies of 2020 -- traditionally held in May and November. It was a difficult decision to have to postpone the May event but organizers held out hope that there would be an in-person ceremony come November. With many gathering restrictions still in place, a virtual ceremony was the only way forward.

The virtual ceremony was held Saturday, November 7 from 10:30 a.m. to noon via Zoom. The ceremony will run on Coronado TV for the week following the event or will be archived on the City’s YouTube page.

~ A Family Affair ~

This newest group of honorees all did their service in the Navy. This group includes six officers related to the same Coronado family – the Reynolds-RingStorrs family. The most senior of the group, Captain Ziba Wells Reynolds served during the Spanish-American War and was onboard USS Charleston (C-2). His ship sailed into the harbor at Agana, Guam, and without firing a shot, captured the island. For his actions during the war, Reynolds was awarded the Spanish Campaign Medal and Dewey Medal. While serving as the head of the Navy Pay Office at San Francisco he survived the great earthquake of 1906. His final assignment was as General Inspector of the Pay Corps, where he became extremely ill with pancreatic cancer. He moved his office to the top floor of the Naval Hospital at Constitution Avenue and 23rd Street to be able to continue working; and there he did work until his death in April 1917.

After his death, his widow and three children, Capt. Stewart Shirley Reynolds, U.S. Navy retired, Ruth Reynolds Murray and Eleanor Reynolds Ring Storrs, returned to Coronado. In addition to their three children, their seven grandchildren would all call Coronado home. Eventually 16 great-grandchildren, numerous great-great grandchildren, and even great-great-great grandchildren would also become Coronado residents. The Avenue of Heroes program is a reminder that Coronado has a rich history and legacy of service to country.

A Coronado resident who initially advocated for the program was Toni McGowan who became a strong proponent of honoring Coronado military members. She tirelessly promoted the creation of a program to regularly recognize local military service members sponsored by the City. That same year, Coronado designated State Route 282, also known as Third and Fourth streets from Orange Avenue to Naval Air Station North Island, as the “Coronado Avenue of Heroes” and granted her wish by adopting a banner program. McGowan worked in conjunction with the Avenue of Heroes Neighborhood Association and other organizations for State Route 282/The Avenue of Heroes to be designated as a Blue Star Memorial Highway, paying tribute to the nation’s Armed Forces. The Blue Star Memorial Highway designation was passed by California Assembly Resolution and was effective January 1, 2017. Sadly, McGowan passed away in early 2019, but not before she saw the program firmly established.

~ The Nomination Process ~

The next ceremony is reserved for May 22, 2021 and nominations are accepted on a continuing basis and anyone is encouraged to nominate a deserving veteran – living or deceased. Nominees for banners are past or present residents of Coronado who served or are serving honorably in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces; a resident of Coronado presently resides or previously resided within the city limits, including being stationed at Naval Base Coronado. The honorees or family members receive a keepsake miniature banner, program and lapel pin at the ceremony. Once the avenue banners are retired, they are made available to the honoree or their family as a keepsake, free of charge.

bathe me in an instant of peace. It was such a small moment, but one that I might have overlooked preCOVID-19.

I am so grateful for our amazing local restaurants, that have endured every obstacle with creativity and grace. We went to Little Frenchie for our first date night when things were able to initially open up, and we were seated in front of the bank. We had a bottle of wine and you know big mama had “le burger.” It was glorious and I enjoyed every last second, even when my husband said, “Oh, look a bunny!” and pointed to the median down the way and I turn and see a rat cruising down Orange. Normally I would have fainted, but it was downright charming after being locked up for so long!

I am especially thankful for our community. Neighbors looking out for each other, dropping off toilet paper when it was scarce. The support of our members at Coronado Fitness Club continuing their memberships and sending words of encouragement when it felt like the walls were crumbling all around us. It brings me to tears every time I think about it.

Now I ask you all to wrap your arms around a local family who is facing an uphill battle. I met Heather Patino when our girls were in dance class together at Coronado Academy of Dance. I have been lucky As I prep for Thanksgiving, I can’t help but think about

Tell us a little about yourself and your family.

I am Heather Patino and I am married to Chris Patino and we have three children, Cynnie, Rocco, and Baby Del. I moved a lot growing up being part of a Navy family, but we always came back here. I went to Graham, Central, graduated from Sacred Heart and Coronado High School. Coronado is my hometown. Chris grew up in Mission Viejo. We met at UC Santa Barbara but started dating a few years after we graduated. We lived in New Orleans and New York City and then after having our second child, decided to move back to California to be close to our family. The move opened up new opportunities me, to stay home with the kids while they were little, and Chris to start his own boutique marketing agency for the wine and spirits industry and open a beautiful cocktail bar as a partner in Raised by Wolves up in UTC. In our 18 years together we have had more than our fair share of defining moments that have tested and strengthened us. We have been through storms of the century with Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma, and Sandy.

What are your favorite things about raising kids in Coronado?

I love being part of the Coronado community and being able to raise our children here. I cannot even begin to express our gratitude for this community. They have wrapped their arms around us with support during this time. The ladies at the Coronado Junior Woman’s Club have done so much to raise our spirits and put smiles on our faces. I love our school communities! Graham is such a gem and getting to send my kids to my old preschool is so special. The teachers there in the words of my son are “perfection.” Village Elementary has also been a huge blessing. Being a former teacher myself, I know how lucky we are to have a handson principal in Dr. Bergener, who truly wants the best for our kids, the whole kid, not just the academics.

She chalked our walk this summer; that doesn’t happen everywhere. The teachers at Village have my heart. This is hard and they are going above and beyond to make the connections with Coronado Magazine | P47

Making Class Work From Home

by Kadie Chiera This year has been full of changes for us all. One of the biggest and most challenging adjustments for so many families has been creating room in our homes for work, leisure and school. That’s a lot to pack into a home of any size. We’re here to help! If you have school-aged children, here are some tips to help you set your kids up for success by creating a functional and fun virtual learning space.

Tip 1 Find a space in your home that gets the least amount of use.

Is there an empty wall in your living room or large hallway that doesn’t get used? Or maybe a niche in a bedroom, guest bedroom, closet or even a garage?

P50 | Coronado Magazine

Tip 2 Look for pieces that offer storage. If you go for a simple Parsons style desk, consider adding a portable storage cart (like Ikea’s Raskog Utility cart) to house school supplies. Use vertical space to store things like pin boards and floating shelves.

Tip 3 Go bold! Virtual learning may be sticking around longer than we would like but it is temporary. Thus, go with happy, energizing and inspiring colors, patterns and dĂŠcor. Retailers like Target, Minted and even Amazon, have temporary peel and stick wallpaper in a variety of styles, patterns and colors.

Check online for easy how-to install instructional videos. If you do not want to go that route, there is always paint!

Tip 4 Select accessories with functional but fun pieces like desk accessories, table lamps, art, and plants – yes plants! Involve the kids when selecting things for their space so they feel like it is personalized and will enjoy using it. Furthermore, incorporate elements that are familiar to them in a normal classroom setting like incentive systems, bulletin boards of their work, a mini locker, etc.

Also, try to use a space that has as much light (preferably natural light) as possible. This will help with overall mood and morale for all the changes our kids are going through right now.

What’s in Season?

Say Cheese!

Holiday gatherings wouldn’t be the same without family photos and cheese plates.

Cheese always seems to make the party. There are so many varieties of this nutritious food, (an excellent source of calcium, vitamin B12 and protein), that almost everyone can find something they like.

Made mainly from cows, sheep or goats milk, cheese began to be processed about 4000 years ago. It has a variety of textures: hard, soft, semisoft. Aging and location play a part in its unique characteristics and taste. Cheese is generally portable, has a high fat content, and a long shelf life; it was invaluable to earlier civilizations and it is still loved today as an appetizer, snack, part of the meal or dessert course.

Storing and serving cheese is particular to each type of cheese. Once you bring home cheese, the first thing to do is remove the store wrapping and re-wrap in cheese paper, parchment or wax paper. Cheese needs to breathe. Tight wrappings, like plastic, promote mold. For firm cheeses, wrap in parchment, then wrap in foil; for soft cheese, drop into a glass container lined with a paper towel and leave the lid slightly open; for brined cheese, however, keep in its brine.

Cheese domes create their own temperature and humidity. If refrigerated, store in a drawer where the temperature is warmer and keep away from foods with strong smells. Hard cheeses can be frozen, but tend to crumble afterwards.

To serve, remove cheese 1 1/2 to 2 hours before cutting or serving. Wired cheese cutters work great with soft cheeses; when using a knife on firm cheeses, cut in one fluid motion, not seesawing.

Bring on the charcuterie board!

Several years ago, I was gifted a Madeleine pan, the shell

indented cookie tray that shapes lovely, sweet or savory treats. I experimented with several recipes because if you have a pan taking up space in your cabinet, you should use it. It needs to earn its footprint. I’ve tried vanilla, lemon, chocolate, chocolate chip, spice, and almond, and I am only getting started. I feel ready to experiment a bit, although that is a little out of my nature. Baking has always demanded “follow the recipe.” Trying the savory recipes is the next project, and baking cornbread.d in them might be fun.

When he was 2 years-old, my oldest grandson, Ethan, used to enjoy the local bakery’s madeleines which is one of the reasons I began the quest to find super recipes. That was over 20 years ago. The pan remained dormant for months on end as he grew older, but he would have enjoyed them at any age, as I still do.

Now that our family has new infants and toddlers, I have rediscovered that pan. My 2 year-old great grandson, Jackson, has taste-tested two recipes and left no crumbs. I have a few madeleines in the freezer for a treat as needed.

The recipes are easy, quick, and usually make only enough for one pan. If you need two pans, cook only one at a time. Cool and grease the pan before reusing.

A friend asked me where the name madeleine came from. That question made me curious, too. The French town of Commercy had a convent dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. Since Madeleine is a French form of Magdalene, and Commercy is always linked to the little cookie, historians think the nuns sold the treats to fund their projects, then sold the recipe to bakers when all the convents were abolished during the French Revolution.

Adults as well as kids enjoy these French spongy cake-incookie form delights. While they are best the first day and enjoyed warm, they do hold well for two additional days and are as good as a cinnamon bun with coffee for breakfast.

Coronado Magazine | P55

Basic Madeleine Cookie Recipe With a madeleine pan taking up space on a shelf, I felt obligated to find a few good recipes to use it. When Ethan was little, Dana would stroll him downtown and buy him a madeleine at the bakery.

That, too, was inspiration to find the best recipes. This is a good one, as I think all recipes from Epicurious are. As with all madeleine cookies, liberally use melted butter to grease the pan.

2 large eggs 2/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup all purpose flour 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Powdered sugar Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter and flour pan for large madeleines (about 3 x 1 1/4 inches). Using electric mixer, beat eggs and 2/3 cup sugar in large bowl just to blend. Beat in vanilla and salt.

Add flour; beat just until blended. Gradually add cooled melted butter in steady stream, beating just until blended.

Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each indentation in pan. Bake until puffed and brown, about 10-16 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Gently remove from pan. Repeat process, buttering and flouring pan before each batch. (Can be made 1 day ahead.)

Dust cookies with powdered sugar.

For almond madeleines: add 1/4 cup ground almonds, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, and reduce flour to 3 tablespoons.

For citrus madeleines: add 2 teaspoons lemon or orange zest.

For spice madeleines: add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1/3 teaspoon ground allspice, reduce sugar to 1/4 cup and add 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.

For madeleines: reduce flour to 3/4 cup, add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa, increase sugar to 1 cup, butter to 12 tablespoons and eggs to 4 eggs.

For chocolate chip madeleines: add 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into very small pieces, remove vanilla.

Autumn Alive - A Living Centerpiece-

by Elyse Sensabaugh

These unique pumpkins make a great fall decoration and can last 3-4 months. You will have fun being creative and making your own beautiful design. So let’s get started!

• Pumpkin any size • Variety of succulents • Gardening moss (sphagnum, Spanish, reindeer, or super moss) • Spray adhesive • Glue gun • Garden clippers • Scissors Clean pumpkin with a wet rag, towel dry. With garden clippers, cut down the center stem as low as possible.

Tear off a piece of moss large enough to cover the top of the pumpkin. Spray pumpkin top with adhesive. Wait 30 seconds for it to get tacky, press moss firmly onto the pumpkin.

Start with one of your larger succulents. Cut the stem so it’s about 1 inch long. Using the glue gun, put a generous squirt of hot glue onto the stem of the succulent, then gently press in the moss wherever you want onto the pumpkin. Do the same with each succulent, gluing and pressing onto the moss. It is easier to glue the largest succulents around the outer edge of the pumpkin, filling in towards the center with smaller plants.

Keep your beautiful pumpkin for months by simply spritzing the succulents once or twice a week with water. Keep it in partial sun light and away from direct sun.

Designer Tips

• Flatter top pumpkins work best • You can also add in dried flowers to add more color • A taller thin plant, will make a great final center to finish your design.

ANDERSON BAKERY MEMORIES

By Marilyn Menges While attending Coronado High School for my Junior and Senior years (1957-1959), I had the wonderful privilege of developing friendships with many classmates whose parents owned a variety of shops and restaurants here in Coronado, such as Kippy’s, The Mexican Village, Anderson’s Bakery, Shell Gas Station, etc. Many of my favorite memories, however, came from knowing the grandchildren of Carl T. Anderson. He was the owner of the well-known bakery at 956 Orange Avenue: The Coronado Home Bakery, later to be known as Anderson’s Bakery.

Family Relationships During Covid-19

by Linda L. Austin When people discuss our unique era, laments prevail about the tiresomeness of being sequestered, given the distancing from loved ones, the lack of variety in our activities, and the monotony of daily sameness.

However, while people may complain, they have shown the resilient spirit typical of Americans in coping with these irritating difficulties. The attitude is “We have no choice, so we’ll create our own entertainment and make the best of what we have, even though the best may be less than what we enjoyed in the past.”

As we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner this year, no matter who is or isn’t at our table, it is hard to miss that the past few months have sometimes resulted in a rearranging of family dynamics.

Daughters and sons check on elderly parents more with frequent calls or visits. Some elderly parents, especially single ones, have moved in with one of their children for closer monitoring. Many have cherished the additional attention their busy, working children have shown.

Husbands and wives experiencing the empty nest and rearranged schedules have sometimes had too much togetherness. They may have adapted by retreating to temporary solitary spaces for periods. However, engaging in in-depth discussions requiring more than a hurried catch-up chat, and spending time together with in-house activities such as puzzles, movies, and home projects can improve a relationship simply by experiencing the connecting togetherness.

Faced with no other options, college students returned home, knowing their new-found cherished

freedom would suffer some curtailment. Their online classes are less than stimulating. College age adults and their parents are entering new territory, often with success. More confined time together makes family meals a time for frivolous conversations as well as discussions on family issues, career directions, politics and where the country is going. The struggle for parents is allowing the young adults to explore and express their views without a critique, remembering the young adults have less experience in formulating their views, but the free expression can be beneficial if the relationship is solid.

Young children miss the interaction with classmates and friends, the stimulation of varied outings, and they grow weary of the confined areas of the house and yard too quickly.

t’s almost Thanksgiving. And although 2020 may have been a difficult year for you, as it has been for many people, you can probably still find things for which you can be thankful – such as your family. How can you show your appreciation for your loved ones?

Here are a few suggestions:

Invest in your children’s future If you have young children – or even grandchildren – one of the greatest gifts you can give them is the gift of education. You may want to consider contributing to a higher education funding vehicle.

Be Generous Do you have older children, just starting out in life? If so, they could well use a financial gift to help pay off student loans, buy a car or even make a down payment on a home. You can give up to $15,000 per year, per recipient, without incurring gift taxes. Of course, you don’t have to give cash – you might want to consider presenting your children with shares of stock in companies they like.

Finance

Ideas for Thanking Your Family Presented by Hayley Beard and Edward Jones

Review your insurance coverage If you weren’t around, it would leave some gaping holes – financial and otherwise – in the lives of your family members. That’s why it’s essential you maintain adequate life insurance. Your employer might offer a group plan, but it may not be sufficient to meet your needs. There’s no magic formula for determining the right amount of coverage, so you’ll have to consider a variety of factors: your age, spouse’s income, number of children and so on. Also, you may want to consider disability insurance – if you were unable to work for a while, it could cause a real problem for your family’s finances.

Preserve your financial independence When your children are young, you take care of them. But you certainly don’t want them to have to do the same for you – so it’s essential you maintain your financial independence throughout your life. You can do this in at least a couple of ways. First, consider investing regularly in your 401(k), IRA and other retirement accounts. The greater your resources during your retirement years, the less you may ever need to count on your family. And second, you may want to protect yourself from the devastating costs of long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay. A financial professional can suggest a strategy to help you cope with these expenses.

Create an estate plan To leave a legacy to your family, you don’t have to be wealthy – but you do need a comprehensive estate plan. You’ll have to think through a lot of questions, such as: Have I named beneficiaries for all my assets? How much do I want to leave to each person? Do I need to go beyond a simple will to establish an arrangement such as a living trust? For help in answering all these issues, you’ll want to work with an attorney.

By making these moves, you can show your loved ones, in a tangible way, how much you value them – and that can help you keep the spirit of Thanksgiving alive all year long.

About Last Month’s Cover Dining was the focus of our last issue. For the cover, we chose to use a warm, inviting photo of a table setting at Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro. It was the perfect image to convey the welcoming aspect of Coronado’s restaurants.

The Coronado Magazine would like to thank Mary Frese of Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro for the use of the photo taken by Tamia Manosalvas Cordova.

It made for a special cover.

GIVE YOUR LOVED ONE THE GIFT OF A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP Somnomed Oral Sleep Appliances “After years of sleep interrupted by gasps for air, I am enjoying a great solution. Your thorough approach, with the assistance of your staff, guided me through assessment, measurement, and fitting of the somnomed to be worn at night. The results are miraculous and I am most grateful.

Your friend and patient, Mary Herron”
