I am not a good traveler. I don’t get airsick and I don’t have acrophobia. I don’t suffer from panic attacks worrying about crashes and hi-jackings and I am neither claustrophobic nor a germaphob (although these days it might be wise to be one). No, I am just plain antsy. You’ve heard of restless leg syndrome? I’ve got restless everything syndrome. The minute I get on a plane things start to bother me. I just can’t seem to relax. I don’t mind the long walk through the airport lugging my carry-on, although sometimes the endless journey seems longer than the flight itself. Waiting on lines doesn’t bother me either and neither does going through various security check points. It’s 12
really only when I finally get to my seat that the discomfort begins, but once it begins it lasts throughout the flight - no matter how long or short. I have made the three hour flight to an assortment of Florida locales countless times and, although this relatively short trip is certainly bearable, I am still not a happy camper. You can imagine how I feel on the flight to Israel, almost triple the length. Of course it would help greatly if I could sleep for a portion of the flight but I have never been able to have that enviable experience. I am the recipient of volumes of advice from helpful friends and family members about

MIND OVER MATTER: Helping Your Child Deal With His Fear of Flying By: Robin Daar, LCSW, RN Imagine this…it’s a cold January and you and your husband decide to take that much needed vacation to Florida to visit Grandma. You are all so excited to have a week in the warm weather that you can’t stop talking about it. Everyone is happy except for one child who is miserable. After some coaxing your child tells you that he is terrified of flying and will not be going. You feel terrible for your child (and yourself), and are trying to understand the anxiety he is feeling about flying. In a situation like this (which is not uncommon), what can a parent do? Certainly you can cancel your trip - which would not do anyone any good. Something more constructive would be to try to help your child get more comfortable with the idea of flying by trying various techniques. First, you need to have a talk with him. Depending on the age of the child the conversation will be different. Try to pinpoint what is making your child fearful. It may be that it isn’t the obvious but something you have not thought of. Don’t belittle or gloss over his fears. He needs you to validate his feelings so try something like “I know you feel scared, I’m here to help you”. If it is loud noises that frightens him try to explain what is making those noises. Fear of the unknown can be very powerful and can include the sounds, sights, smells and physical sensations on board an airplane. Finding out why things get bumpy in the air sometimes, what’s making the “clonk” sound or why the airplane is suddenly tipping its nose down can make a child feel safer. Preparing your child for what a typical flight is like can help with his or her anxiety. Tell them about boarding, finding their seats and
30
putting on seat belts. Try to describe the sounds and noises one might hear at take off or landing. Read books about airplanes so that an airplane feels like a familiar place when they travel. If the child is younger, buying him an airplane to play with can be helpful. Perhaps even schedule a trip to the airport. If the child can play out the scenario he is afraid of it may help to work it through. Make flying seem like an exciting experience by telling her about the special bag you’ve packed with activities to help keep her busy and entertained during the flght. Bring things for your child that will soothe him and make him feel safe and comfortable, such as blankets or toys. Make sure your own fears are in check. It’s not uncommon for personal fears to be transferred to children. Try to keep calm and aware of your own reactions. Your mood can be contagious. Something most parents don't think about is paying attention to what your child eats before and during the flight. They need to eat foods that keep them calm. Try to stay away from junk food and caffeinated Continued on page 74

I
recently traveled to Panama City, Panama to attend a good friend’s wedding. The wedding and sheva brachot were epic and I give 5 stars to every meal prepared by the bride’s family. However, I could not leave without trying at least one (okay, three) Panamanian kosher restaurants. Panama has a number of kosher restaurants, while none as upscale or good as those we have in New York or Israel, it proudly boasts the largest kosher supermarket outside of Israel. The Super Deli K has massive meat, bakery, produce and wine sections, and even two small sit-down restaurants. My friends and I had a light salad lunch at the Darna’s Bakery in the center of the supermarket. It was refreshing and together with the gourmet coffee and free wifi, was the perfect lift we needed. On our last night in Panama, we decided to try Darna’s main restaurant. Darna, which has a meat affiliate, Lula by Darna, is a dairy restaurant popular with tourists, whether they keep kosher or not. When I last visited Panama a few years ago, Darna was located in a busy neighborhood surrounded by hip hotels, clubs and lounges. The space was very modern with lots of leather and bright red accents. Darna’s new location in Punta Pacifica appears to be more of a residential area. The ambiance seems to have gone from modern to shabby chic. The rectangular tables scattered throughout the bilevel restaurant are a light brown lacquered wood and the chairs have a white wood backing. We were having an early dinner, which Panamanians never do, so the restaurant was fairly empty. However, we were right on time for Happy Hour wine at $4 a glass.

The food at Darna includes an extensive salad menu, fresh baked focaccia breads, fish and pasta. The focaccia confit tomato, mozzarella and white fungus was a cheesy flat bread mushroom pizza. The bread was incredible with crispy edges, and the cheese was sizzling hot with the right amount of brown bubbles. The “pizza” was a nice size for an appetizer with 12 squares for everyone to share. My favorite appetizer was definitely the salmon carpaccio, served with a green salad
and caper dressing. The salmon was thinly sliced, fresh and topped with romaine lettuce and small red onions. The perfect salty bite was a thick slice of warm bread, salmon and a heap of salad and caper dressing drizzled over it. The “Aunt Esther” Gratan, a bowl of sliced grilled eggplant drowned in cream sauce was not served hot enough for me to enjoy at all. I contemplated sending it back, but after a few minutes of trying to get a server, I gave up and

Continued from page 51 went on to the next course. For our mains, we defied suggested “preflight” light fare and ordered pastas. The Gnocchi in pesto sauce was overcooked and the consistency of the pasta could only be described as mushy. However the penne which we ordered with pink sauce and extra mozzarella cheese was yummy. After devouring every bite of this heavenly pasta together with a glass of red wine, I was ready to

sleep through my red eye flight back to New York. I look forward to returning to Panama to visit new friends and sampling more of its wonderful kosher food.

She lives in Woodmere with her husband and three sons.

From Soup to Nuts: The Gourmet Jewish Cookbook More Than 200 Recipes from Around the World By Denise Phillips THE GOURMET JEWISH COOKBOOK: More than 200 Recipes from Around the World by Denise Phillips (St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books Hardcover), collects the best gourmet Jewish recipes from around the world, including the background and rich history of Jewish cooking and customs, with two gorgeous eight-page color inserts. This book presents a new spin on kosher classics and shows how to present these recipes for guests. Traditional dishes are covered, as well. From modern spins on Schnitzel Noodle Stir Fry and Matza Granola, to make-ahead meals like Passover Beef Lasagna, to sophisticated dishes like Veal Chops with Mushroom Sauce, this cookbook covers it all. Suited both for home chefs looking to introduce new foods into their repertoire as well as casual cooks searching for that perfect dinner party recipe to wow their guests, THE GOURMET JEWISH COOKBOOK is the ideal go-to source. The book also includes recipes that take under 30 minutes and are appropriate for diabetics, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners. Each recipe includes a brief overview of the background and history of Jewish cuisine and illustrates how kosher cooking is the first example of "fusion," as it melds local foods of the countries where Jews have lived with the dietary laws they observe. For entertaining with style, cooking for the family, or providing traditional dishes for Jewish festivals, this book will prove indispensable for Jewish and non-Jewish chefs everywhere. Here’s an example:

TURKISH RED LENTIL AND CARROT SOUP V PAREV RH DAIRY-FREE GLUTEN-FREE Info Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 35 minutes Serves: 10 Ingredients 10 oz red lentils 1 tbsp vegetable oil 3 onions, peeled and finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 ⁄2-1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp sumac 6 carrots (approx. 13⁄4lb), peeled and roughly chopped 7 oz potatoes, peeled and diced 8 cups vegetable stock 2 tbsp tomato puree 1 tsp salt (or to taste) freshly ground black pepper, to taste juice of 1 lemon Garnish: 1 lemon, cut into wedges Red lentil soup can be found on the menu at most Turkish restaurants and as you can imagine, each has their own secret twist of the classic version - in this one it is the smoked paprika and sumac that provide the subtle and exquisite flavours. When I was in Istanbul recently, I attended a local cookery class and this is a variation of one of the recipes we prepared. I have kept this recipe vegetarian and without butter and love to serve it with sesame bread.
NOVEMBER 2014, Esra | EsraMagazineOnline.com
Method Place the lentils in a colander and rinse. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large deep saucepan. Saute the onions, garlic, smoked paprika, sumac, carrots and potatoes in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the lentils, stock and tomato puree. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Liquidise the soup. Taste, add the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning accordingly. To serve the stylish way: Garnish with segments of lemon on the side. CRUNCHY PAPAYA SALAD DAIRY-FREE

Info Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: None Serves: 4
dressing. Crunchy papaya salad is beautifully unique in its flavour and makes a great nutritious starter. There have been Jews in Thailand since the seventeenth century, when the families of traders from Baghdad arrived at one of the main stopping points on the Spice Route from China. The current community of about 1,000 is served by synagogues and they are mainly Ashkenazi - descendants of Russian immigrants. Getting kosher food there can be organised online in advance which makes travelling the kosher way a bit easier, but for a more communal experience there are two main Chabad centres in Thailand: Bangkok and Phuket. In Bangkok the Friday night dinner is served in the Rabbi's house above the synagogue. Method Prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients. Taste and set aside. Peel the papayas, slice in half and remove all the seeds. Using a sharp knife cut into thin slices. Transfer to a bowl. Add the tomatoes, spring onions, chilli, bean sprouts and most of the basil and combine. Add the peanuts and stir in the dressing. Serve immediately. To serve the stylish way: Place a Chinese leaf on each plate. Fill with salad and garnish with chopped basil.
Ingredients For the dressing zest and juice of 1 lime 1 tbsp clear honey 3 tbsp olive oil 1-2 tbsp soy sauce, to taste 1 clove garlic, finely chopped freshly ground black pepper For the salad 2 papayas 4 oz cherry/grape tomatoes, sliced 3 spring onions, sliced into matchsticks 1 red chilli, deseeded, very finely chopped 4 oz bean sprouts 2 oz/4 tbsp fresh basil, roughly chopped 4 oz honey-roasted peanuts To serve: 4 large Chinese cabbage leaves, basil, roughly chopped
ORANGE ISRAELI COUSCOUS PARVE
Info Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Serves: 6
This Thai papaya salad, known as ‘Som Tarn’, is popular in most areas of Thailand, and when you taste it you will know why. Traditionally it is made with unripe green papaya, which combines well with the spice of the chilli and sweetness of the honey
Ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 4 sticks of celery, finely chopped 1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh parsley 1 cup vegetable stock
EsraMagazineOnline.com
Continued on page 68 | 718-692-2131 67
Continued from page 67 juice of 1 orange zest of 1⁄2 an orange 8 oz uncooked Israeli couscous salt and pepper, to taste Garnish: 1 orange, sliced This is a delicious vegetarian main course dish which can be enhanced with cheese and nuts if desired or used as an accompaniment to fish or meat. Israeli couscous is called 'ptitim' in Hebrew. 'Ptitim' was invented during Israel's austere times when rice was scarce and it served the Mizrachi Jews for whom rice was a staple food. I have flavoured this dish with oranges, so why not use Jaffas if available to continue the Israeli experience? Jaffa oranges were first grown by Palestinian farmers in Jaffa, which was then the main Mediterranean port in the mid-nineteenth century. Today they are grown all over Israel. These oranges are particularly sweet and almost seedless and their thick peel used as zest provides excellent flavours. Method Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the celery and onion and saute until slightly golden. Stir in the parsley, stock, orange juice and zest. Bring to the boil. Add the couscous and reduce to a low heat, cover and simmer until the couscous is tender and the liquids are absorbed - about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Fluff up the couscous just before serving. To serve the stylish way: Garnish with slices of orange.

JAMAICAN LIME CHICKEN DAIRY-FREE GLUTEN-FREE SHABBAT
YT
Info Preparation Time: 10 minutes, plus 8 hours marinating Cooking Time: 30 minutes Serves: 6
68
Ingredients For the marinade 4 spring onions, finely chopped 1 ⁄2 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped 4 tbsp orange juice 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger juice of 1 lime 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp cinnamon pinch of ground cloves 6 chicken breasts, skinned Garnish: ground cinnamon, 1 lime, sliced This is an easy recipe made with a Jamaican jerk sauce of soy sauce, lime, orange juice and numerous spices. It makes a mouth-watering marinade that is also delicious on other poultry such as turkey and duck. I like to serve it with coconut rice and peas, the true Caribbean way. Jamaica has a history of hosting Jews dating back to Columbus' times, when Sephardi Jews fled the Spanish Inquisition. In 1882, the synagogue in Kingston was destroyed by fire and today there is just one other remaining synagogue. The floor is covered in sand, which is a Marrano tradition to conceal any noise made during prayer. Various Jewish voluntary organisations are active there and since Jamaican Independence in 1962, Israel and Jamaica have developed and maintain full diplomatic relations. Method Make the marinade by combining the spring onions, chilli, orange juice, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, allspice, cinnamon and cloves. Add the chicken and marinate for 8 hours or overnight. Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish and pour over the marinade juices. Cook covered for 30 minutes or until cooked. To serve the stylish way: Dust the plate with ground cinnamon and serve on a bed of coconut rice with peas. Garnish with slices of lime. E

Continued from page 30 drinks. If the child’s fear persists or becomes disruptive to the family functioning it may be necessary to get professional help. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help a child change how he thinks, feels and behaves in situations he is fearful of. There is even a new technology called “virtual plane flight” which allows children to have the experience of flying without leaving the ground. Through 74
this process they can slowly be exposed to their fears and learn to conquer them. No one said being a parent would be easy but with your support, encouragement and help your child and you should be able to enjoy many vacations together. Bon voyage!

China Then and Now brings together exemplary Chinese works of art from the classical, early modern and contemporary periods. The exhibition explores three millennia of one of the world's most important artistic traditions from the perspective of American collectors on Long Island, such as Childs and Frances Frick and the Arthur M. Sackler family. China Then and Now unfolds over three galleries, each of which showcases the elegant beauty of Chinese art of a different era and medium. The exhibition opens with eleven large-scale classical stone sculptures lent by the Arthur M. Sackler Collections at Columbia University. At the heart of China Then and Now, is an installation of blueand-white porcelains from the Ming and Qing eras (17th to 18th centuries) collected by Childs and Frances Frick and on loan, for the first time, from The Frick Collection in New York. This display reunites these works with their original setting, the Georgianstyle Bryce-Frick mansion that is today the home of the Nassau County Museum of Art. A final gallery presents extraordinary ink paintings by the renowned Beijing artist Liu Dan (born 1953) whose works bridge traditional forms with contemporary practices. On view from November 22, 2014 through March 8, 2015, China Then and Now sheds new light on a fascinating chapter in America's engagement with China and its arts. This exhibition reveals the passion of American collectors of both the past and present for the culture and history of China. Sponsored by HSBC Private Bank, China Then and Now is co-organized by guest curators Amy G. Poster, Curator Emerita of Asian Art at the Brooklyn Museum, and Kaijun Chen, Ph.D. Nassau County Museum of Art is located at: One Museum Drive, Roslyn Harbor, NY 11576, (516) 484-9337.

Continued from page 12 how to fall asleep on a plane - from what time of the day I should travel, to the type of neck-roll, eye mask and music I should sport. I’ve also been coached as to which pharmaceuticals - over-the-counter as well as prescription - I should purchase. I can’t say I’ve tried them all but enough of them to assure me nothing helps. I should be hired as a security guard by the airlines as in the course of a typical flight at some point every passenger is asleep as I sit wide-eyed and fidgeting, watching them all. If I’m in an aisle seat I will quietly get up and patrol the plane, back and forth, back and forth, just to stretch my legs and straighten my back. It amazes me how most people can sleep and I mean the mouth hanging open type of sleep. Many have the abovementioned paraphernalia but a lot don’t. I once sat next to a young woman who turned to me at take-off with a smile. She politely said hello, buckled her seat-belt and closed her eyes. She did not budge until the clanking landing gear woke her up over ten hours later. I don’t believe I am a jealous person but sitting next to such a fortunate companion or marching up and down those airplane aisles the only conscious passenger on board, my eyes blood-shot and tired but my body refusing to sleep, I do get a little green. Near the end of the flight when I am just about ready to open the emergency exit and take my chances, those snoozers begin waking up. They stretch and crack a few joints and then cheerfully stride to the lavatories, toiletry bag in hand, all refreshed and raring to go. Arrrggghhh! A few flights ago my husband and I were the recipients of round-trip business class seats to the Holy Land. I cannot tell you how luxurious it felt to be traveling in a spacious cabin with every amenity we could want on hand. I pushed a button to recline my seat and then pushed it again. After each tilt back there was still more to go until, to my

amazement, my seat became a bed, practically flat. Both the pillows and the blankets were of a superior quality to those (often not to be found) in coach. There was so much space between the “pods” that accidentally bumping into your neighbor and disturbing him or her was never a worry. Everything from the travel bag to the culinary service was A-one. And yet… did I sleep? Not a wink. Was I relaxed? Not a chance. I would not say the business class was wasted on us (certainly not on youknow-who), and if someone should decide to gift me with a future business class seat I would hardly refuse it, but I still suffered and fidgeted throughout the flight. What is wrong with me? And yet I continue to travel. Like most of the people I polled in this month’s Grin and Bare It, I love to travel. Most of the respondents to my query would love to travel more often and to greater distances. Unfortunately there are more serious issues to worry about these days than restless body syndrome when traveling. But if we aren’t exploring new horizons as often and as adventurously as we’d like it is not for lack of desire. In the next several months I have two trips penned in on my calendar - one of those relatively short ones down south and one of those unbearably long ones across the Atlantic to my much-missed family. I am greatly looking forward to both. Being there that is. Not getting there. Just thinking about buckling my seat-belt causes tiny beads of perspiration to pop up on the back of my neck and a pre-cramp tingle to start climbing up my leg. Okay, enough! I am sure it will all be fine. If you’re flying anywhere any time soon and you’re one of those lucky ones who travel well and sleep the time away, I just want to say something to you… Oh never mind. Bon voyage, nisia tova, and come back safe!
