As I am sure I have mentioned on numerous occasions, I am not into technology. I shun new contraptions and updated versions of items I reluctantly already own. I am always perfectly happy with last year’s model. From my appliances at home to the mobile devices in my bag (I can’t believe I am even on familiar terms with that phrase), everything I own is significantly outdated - some by several “generations” - and I like it that way just fine. However, there is one type of technological progress that I actually do appreciate and, more so, enjoy, and that is digital photography and, more specifically, the smart phone camera option on my mobile phone. Hundreds of photographs stored on my phone, so painless and practically spaceless. What a huge difference from the countless overstuffed envelopes filled with developed photographs from our local drugstore that take up valuable cabinet inches in our den and storage boxes in our basements. After all, how many pictures do you actually end up framing or even putting into albums? After a while you just can’t keep up. I was so good about it for years. Before we were
12
blessed with children we did some travelling and we have hundreds of photographs with matching negatives to prove it. After the children arrived, of course, the pointing and shooting was non-stop. Taking pictures, waiting for them to be developed; the excitement of bringing them home and sorting through them; the creating of quilted, decorative albums. This was a common pastime in my house and among all of my friends who were also building families and homes at that time. You were never sure if you got the right shot. Unlike today when you can immediately check and edit, in those days you just took multitudes of shots of each scene hoping at least one would meet with final approval. Of course, when all sixteen came out fine, fifteen of them were unnecessary, hence the many, many envelopes. After a while, perhaps when life got a little more complicated, there wasn’t always the urge to capture on camera every event in our family life (you know how the younger the child, the fewer the photographs…), and certainly the rush to develop the pictures fizzled out.

MIND OVER MATTER: Fashion and Fitting In By: Jennifer Mann, LMSW Have you ever wondered why fashion changes with the seasons? How is it that a bunch of designers have a power so robust that women across the world will not wear a pointy toe stiletto because these mere mortals have decreed that only wedges are acceptable? There was a time in my circle when big hats were in. The wider the brim, the closer to perfection. Now hats have become so tiny one could mistake them for barrettes (without her glasses on of course). Who makes these rules and why in the world do we follow them? When you step back and think about it, the changing fashions are so arbitrary you could laugh. Last summer, everywhere I turned I saw something neon. Whether it was shoe laces, a head band, a home accessory, a belt or a store window you could be sure you would be squinting your eyes that day. This summer the neon has disappeared. Where did it go and why? I am certainly not immune to this phenomenon either. I wear what I like and don’t take the laws of fashion too seriously, but I must admit that when I saw someone who’s style I admire wearing my favorite kind of shoe, I think, “I’m so happy that’s in again!” From a societal and biological perspective, we are wired with a desire to belong. Universally, we all want the same things. We want love, family and friendship. We want to know that when the going gets tough, we have our unit to protect and shelter us from the outside world. One venue that people utilize to feel part of the group is their fashion sense; what we put on our bodies sends a signal to others whether we like it or not. A man’s choice of yarmulke, be it velvet, suede or kippa sruga tells a story of belonging and • YA M A Z A K I • R E T R O N E A U • T O W L E • O N E I D A • I N T E R N AT I O N A L 1 8 / 8 S TA I N L E S S & S I LV E R P L AT E D F L AT WA R E

lifestyle. Is it really just about a piece of fabric? Have we allowed a piece of fabric to dictate the course of our lives? Or, is it that we use the fabric to delineate and preserve our specific customs and values, sending a message to other like minded people, “With me, you are safe. I understand you.” The fashion industry and media understand how people are wired and use this knowledge to make a great living. An impossibly gorgeous and thin woman modeling the new season’s ensemble makes us think, “She looks so beautiful and happy. I must buy that outfit. I would be happy if only I looked like that. But I don’t look like that. Now I’m depressed. Maybe if I buy not only the outfit she is wearing but the accessories too and the beauty products she uses I will feel better…” I wonder, if I were to somehow magically erase the designer logo off of one of my friend’s budgetless pocketbooks, would she love it just the same? If I were to take a well-recognized haute couture pair of shoes out of a fabulously dressed store window in Italy and put it on a rack at TJ Maxx, red soles hidden, would you even notice them? So much about fashion is about fitting in. There is value in fitting in. We may call a friend before a wedding or a night out and ask what she is wearing because we don’t want to stand out from the group. We may feel looked at, silly or out of place and who wants that? We want to tell people, “I am normal. I am just like you.” But, there is also value in “fitting out.” We don’t all have to be cookie cutter images of each other. We define ourselves by our culture and norms but can we also give ourselves permission to be different? And the ultimate irony is that when find our signature trademark, or veer left when everyone else is going right, if done with confidence and grace, we may be the one starting a new trend. I dare you, reader, to go with your gut and try something new and different or break out something from your closet that you have been longing to wear and breathe some life into it. You may get rave reviews, or awful ones, but at least you will have been true to yourself, and you will have fit in with the most important person of all… yourself. Jennifer

MEATOS By: Rachel Rosenberg
W
hile I hate to critique a restaurant in its first month of opening, I could not resist trying Meatos, at its new Queens location. Meatos’ original and famed location is in Tel Aviv, and is one of my favorite Israeli restaurants (of course there are so many incredible restaurants there). With a summer gone by with extra focus on Israel, I found myself craving a taste of the region and the promise of Meatos “arriving from Tel Aviv (Israel) to New York” (www.meatos.co.il) could not be delayed. I will do my best to be fair because try as they may, Meatos cannot replicate the goose liver and fabulous produce found in Israel. Meatos, Queens opened in August 2014 on Union Turnpike in the space formerly occupied by Chateau Steakhouse. The space is large enough to replicate the amazing steakhouse/sports bar in Tel Aviv, but other than the wall of wine, the Queens restaurant needs a lot of work on its atmosphere. Tables were scattered everywhere, including a foot off the entrance. The restaurant was so noisy that the waitress actually apologized when I tried to order saying “I’m sorry, it’s really noisy in here so can you repeat that.” Once I got used to yelling over the noise to hear my husband on what was supposed to be a quiet night out without the kids, things started looking up. A warm selection of breads arrived with a spicy Mediterranean style eggplant dip and spiced olives. On the waitress’s recommendation we started with the mushroom tapas, chicken wings and veal carpaccio. The veal carpaccio was exquisite. It was thin as paper and covered with large granules of salt, oil, balsamic vinegar and whole garlic cloves. The mushroom tapas were delicious but don’t think ‘vegetable’ when
56
ordering this dish. They were thickly breaded and fried and topped with a pesto sauce. The chicken wings were coated with a spicy sesame sauce but of course they had to be eaten by hand and were stickier than I expected. Don’t order this one on a first date - good taste but very messy. For our main dishes, my husband ordered the angus sirloin with a side of baked potatoes and I ordered the “skinny burger” with caramelized onions and a side of vegetable rice. I ordered the burger hoping to get the listed topping of “smoked goose” but alas they did not have any confirming my suspicion Meatos Tel Aviv had not yet truly arrived in Queens. Here’s where the service got weird. Our waitress was well intentioned and eager to please but had obviously not been trained. Our appetizer dishes were still on the table when my husband’s main arrived sans his sides or my main. His steak ordered “black and blue” was medium-well. The waitress offered to have a new steak prepared but said it would take another 15 minutes (much longer than a very rare steak should be cooked). The steak and potatoes were decent but not spectacular. My burger was yummy (but also overcooked) and the vegetable rice was excellent. Midway through our main course, the dessert menus arrived and now I just had to ask. The waitress, upon my inquiry, admitted this was her first waitress job ever and the restaurant was only open two weeks. She did not know what the “nut fingers” on the dessert menu were. We ordered the rose scented Turkish malabi and chocolate souffle, but asked the waitress to find out what the nut fingers were so we would know for next time. The malabi was a light and cool pudding with pistachios and roasted coconut served in a glass. It was a good ending to an okay dinner. The souffle was slightly overdone, rich and sweet. I ate every bite. In case you are wondering, nut fingers apparently are a fried dough filled with a variety of nuts. Is Meatos in Queens reminiscent of Meatos, Tel Aviv? Not yet. Could it be? Bring on the smoked goose. Will I return? Absolutely. My rating: 31⁄2 stars ★★★★ Rachel Rosenberg, a practicing attorney and name partner at Rosenberg and Steinmetz PC, is known amongst friends and family as an accomplished chef and daring foodie with a critical eye and discerning palate. She lives in Woodmere with her husband and three sons.

From Soup to Nuts: The Open Kitchen In late fall of 2009, a small committee of SAR community volunteers and hopeless “foodies” got together to help develop a concept for a new kind of kosher cookbook. Most of them were cooking enthusiasts who had grown accustomed to venturing beyond their own cookbook collections to find new recipes and meal ideas. The proliferation of food blogs, cooking programs, and non-kosher cookbooks had provided them with inspiring ideas that could easily be adapted for a kosher diet. What most of these alternative sources shared was simple — they all focused on using a wide variety of whole, minimally processed, and mostly fresh ingredients to achieve vibrant, flavorful dishes. The vision was to develop a collection of unique recipes that used a wide array of whole ingredients and that were relatively simple to make, beautiful to look at, and delicious to eat! After sharing this vision with friends and family, they were pleased to learn that there was a real interest in this kind of a cookbook. We are thrilled to be able to welcome you with a sample from The Open Kitchen — A Fresh Approach to Cooking Kosher*. ROASTED SPICED CHICKPEAS A tasty snack that’s packed with protein. PARVE
3 cans (15 ounce) chickpeas 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 3/4 teaspoon powdered ginger 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 2. Rinse and drain chickpeas. 3. Mix dry spices and set aside. 4. Toss chickpeas with olive oil and season with spice mixture. Transfer to a large rimmed

baking sheet. 5. Bake for 45 minutes until browned and fragrant. Cool to room temperature. 6. May be refrigerated for several days. TURKEY SINIYEH A Middle Eastern appetizer marrying the cool creaminess of hummus with the heartiness of warm mushrooms and turkey. A delicious and satisfying combination. MEAT
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon salt Pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon paprika 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced 4-6 turkey breast cutlets, diced 1/4 cup beef stock 2 cups hummus, store-bought 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Saute onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, and paprika until onion is translucent. Add mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms soften. Add oil if mixture is too dry. 2. Add turkey to pan; saute until turkey begins to brown. Add broth and continue simmering 7-10 minutes until turkey is just cooked and all ingredients are incorporated. Make sure not to overcook or turkey will be dry. Remove turkey mixture from pan and set aside, pouring out any excess liquid. 3. To serve, spread hummus in the middle of a large serving platter. Add siniyeh around hummus. 4. Garnish with additional olive oil, paprika, and parsley.

FIT ME By Amalia We Do All Kinds Of Alterations
GRIN AND BARE IT How has the handbag you choose to carry/wear today evolved from the ones you used to sport? I used to match my handbag to my outfit, or at least my shoes. I was very busy each morning transferring all my necessities from one bag to the other. Now I choose a bag for the season and stick with it no matter what I’m wearing. L.C. I was the one with the enormous bag. I thought I had to take every contingency with me. Then I developed back issues and realized a small bag with wallet, keys, phone and lipstick is all I really need. W.P. During my child-rearing days I didn’t even bother with a handbag. I just dropped my wallet and keys into the everpresent diaper bag, which I carried with me for years. Now that the kiddies are all grown I enjoy sporting a fashionable handbag without finding sticky lollipops attached to everything. I.P. I used to carry a pocketbook, briefcase and assorted shopping bags. What an eyesore. Now I tote a chic, compact wheelie for all my needs. Much more professional and much easier on my back! F.O. In my teens - way back when - I carried a patent-leather clutch envelope wherever I went. I had them in six colors. It was the rage. Now, a strap is the only way to go. S.L.

Totally! I use a fanny-pack whenever possible now. The less I carry the better. I love that unencumbered feeling. P.D. I was never into pocketbooks. Used whatever my older sisters disccarded my way. Now I appreciate and enjoy a pretty bag with nice detailing and quality leather. I’d say I treat myself to something special every two to three years. T.C. Not at all. I always carry an oversized sack even though I’m the first to admit its impracticality. I can never find anything in it! F.L. I’ve never been that interested in bags. Shoes on the other hand… N.B. It has more organization built in. I used to like large hobos... Now I’ve pared down. Also I like more color, not just brown and black. B.C. I’m not sure I ever sported a handbag, but when I go shopping for one these days, it’s all about the weight. My shoulders can no longer handle a heavy handbag, so my first concern is whether it’s light enough to carry around all day. My second concern is that it has plenty of compartments, since not unlike socks in my dryer, things tend to enter the

Continued from page 86 land of no returns. So with lots of sections, I have a better shot at retrieving what I need without hours of searching. E.M. I now have two major requirements in a handbag that usually contradict each other - large (so I can fit in all of my “stuff”) and light so it doesn’t weigh 20 lbs.! C.J. I have always carried a Mary Poppins bag; I need to have “all my stuff”… For the summer I have been using a large denim satchel similar to one I made in my 20s :) E.G.

Today’s handbag must have an outside pocket to hold my cell phone. Gone are the days I am willing to rummage through the bag until I find it. If a designer doesn’t recognize the importance of the outside zipper, then the bag’s not for me! L.B. School bag, shoulder bag, diaper bag, school bag, cross bag and tote; always too big or too small. Pockets are the best! B.D. My handbag today is more conventional; pockets and compartments. I also prefer a somewhat “designer” bag as

Continued from page 88 my taste has matured. Oh, and they don’t have to match my shoes! S.F. I became a card-carrying backpack purse wearer. It may not be the most fashionable thing out there, but it works for me. Just found a great one yesterday, but I’ll be returning it, because I didn’t realize it was a Tommy Hilfiger… H.R. Since I am somewhat larger than I used to be (too much plattentorte, I guess) I tend to carry a larger bag. L.E. It is LIGHT!! My right shoulder is lower than my left from all the years of heavy bags! L.M.

I’m embarrassed to say it out loud, but I’m a handbag snob. It’s one of the only accessories I splurge on and I only carry good designers like Chanel and Prada. Luckily I’m a good shopper and pick up great bags for a fraction of retail at a consignment store in Cedarhurst called The Emperor’s Old Clothes. B.H. Sorry to admit but it has not evolved at all! I see a lot of my friends wearing Coach and other name brand expensive bags. That has never been my thing. Perhaps I am just too lazy to switch bags because I know I will forget some important item in the bag I am not using. My friends always keep telling me I dress well and am put together so why is

my handbag so, how should I put it, cheap and ugly? Obviously it doesn’t bother me since I have not changed in all these years. All I need is a crossbody black bag with many pockets and I am set. D.W. It pretty much has stayed the same. It needs to be medium sized, but have different compartments each with zippers for security reasons and flap that closes over all of it. S.W. Always the same black, grey or silver large enough to hold makeup, siddur and lots of receipts. C.B.
wallet and keys stuffed into my diaper bag… I miss actual handbags. E.S. I always buy the same kind of purse. Medium size, lots of compartments, zippered on top, shoulder strap. Boring but comfortable and user-friendly. T.B. I don’t like to carry a handbag.... However.... My tote bag has everything but the kitchen sink… Laugh, but if you need something I probably have it. E.W. I am trying to not wear leather anymore. I look for material ones, crossover, not over shoulder. O.R.

Continued from page 12 Even once finally developed, the getting around to going through the photos took a while and, frankly, sometimes didn’t happen at all. In later years how many of those photographs ever found permanent homes in family albums? Sadly, not many. So, yes, I am a big fan of phone cameras. Any time you feel the urge to relive a moment, reminisce about an event, double check on some detail, all you have to do is scroll through your digital photos. So many pictures pasted into our albums today make us cringe. Why did we ever choose to memorialize that hairstyle, outfit, etc.? Today you can edit, delete, enhance and, finally, when the urge does take you, print. I love it! It has been several years since I’ve used a “regular” camera and just as long since I looked through our library of albums. So much of our life is now captured on our phones. My mom, on the other hand, makes me look like a techno-wiz. She refuses to learn how to open, let alone operate, the Mac we bought for her and feels no curiosity whatsoever about the wonders encased in the iPad donated to her by a hopeful grandson. Even if her cell phone could take pictures, she wouldn’t want to learn how. I don’t believe she knows how to retrieve phone messages either. And not for lack of willing instructors. My mother loves her photo albums, some turning brittle, dating back decades, spanning several countries and generations. She never tires of going through them, smiling at scenes from joyous occasions remembered and tearing up at pictures of those who are no longer with us. Although I have seen each of these albums countless times - some of them I even created for her myself - I, too, can get caught up occasionally flipping through the yellowing pages, catching photographs come loose from their spots. Every picture tells a story and each album has its own history. In addition to the emotions that surface during photo surfing there is another aspect of looking through the albums that appeals to me. The clothing my mom wore in some of the earlier albums was stunning. I am not talking about her magnificent wedding gown, which was breathtaking, but her every day attire. Even in the small, aged black and white shots the meticulous workmanship and detailing in the suits, dresses and coats she sported were apparent. For years I would ask her about the ensembles (for that was what they were), she wore in the photographs. “Where is that suit now?” I wanted to know for I would wear it in a second. Even in the most casual of scenes my mom’s outfits were stunning. And when she got dressed up - I am thinking of her and my Dad a”h (who didn’t look too shabby himself), out with friends for dinner, well, they looked like royalty. While we can’t compete with the fashions of decades gone by, we are proud to bring you our beautiful Fall Fashion issue and the very best our neighborhood boutiques have to offer - the latest looks for men, women and children. Perhaps one day one of your grandchildren will see you in a snapshot - digital of course - in one of your new purchases of today and say “Oh I love that dress Babie. Do you still have it?”
