Grant funds internships in non-profit sector

he Center for Nonprofit Leadership at Youngstown State University received a $40,000 grant from The Raymond John Wean Foundation to implement a Summer Honors Internship Program in the summer of 2011. The Nonprofit Leadership Summer Honors Internship Program is a full-time (40 hours per week), 10-week internship program designed to provide qualified students with career-related work experience in a nonprofit organization. This internship experience will enable the students participating to apply the knowledge and skills developed in their chosen major to the organization. The students will also gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in a professional level position in a nonprofit organization. The goals of this program include introducing college students to the professional opportunities available with nonprofit organizations in the Mahoning Valley and to enable nonprofit organizations the ability to attract and retain talent by developing the Valley’s future nonprofit professionals. Organizations wishing to apply for a funded intern should submit the attached application. Organizations should outline the tasks, duties, and responsibilities that the intern must fulfill. Typically, interns are required

to complete at least one project that serves the organization and allows the student to further develop his/her knowledge and skills. It is anticipated that the nonprofit leadership internships will be in the following areas: community outreach/marketing and public relations; development/fund-raising, special events; information management and technology; accounting and financial management; program planning and evaluation; volunteer management; and/or youth and adult development. The YSU Center for Nonprofit Leadership will work with the selected nonprofit organizations to place a minimum of ten (10) students in internships. The students will work full time (40 hours/week) for 10 weeks, for a total of 400 hours from June 7 to Aug. 20. Students will receive $9/hour for a total of $3,600. On a weekly rotation, each organization will host a site visit, tour, and professional development seminar for all interns participating in the program. Consideration will be given only to students with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA, senior standing by the end of the spring semester, and a declared major. This program is open to students who are currently enrolled at YSU or full-time students who are Mahoning Valley residents enrolled at another university. Applications can be sent by mail, fax, email, or hand delivered. All applications

must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 11. No late applications will be accepted. Call 330-941-1870 for more information or e-mail LJMcCaskey@ysu.edu.

Grant to fund activities for disabled children

he YWCA of Youngstown has been awarded a grant from the Hine Memorial Fund of the Youngstown Foundation in the amount of $32,000. This grant will be used to provide inclusive childcare and summer respite services for children with diagnosed disabilities who live in the city of Youngstown and vicinity. With the respite care programming, the YWCA will be able to include children with severe disabilities who may require a higher level of personal care. A ratio of 1:1 to 1:3 will be used based on each child’s individual needs. During the month of August, a four week respite program will be provided for schoolage children with disabilities that require lower ratios than the inclusive care program can offer. This program will operate Monday through Friday, with flexible hours to allow for working parents to maintain employment. The respite program will run alongside the summer school-age program, allowing inclusion into typical settings as appropriate for each child. For more information, call Jennie Andrews at 330-746-6361.

Collection seeks to defray utility costs of area needy

atholic Charities of the Diocese of Youngstown is calling upon Catholics and others of good will to support a special parish and community collection for winter utility assistance for families in need. “Keep the Kids Warm” is a special second collection to take place between the Feast of the Holy Family (Dec. 25-26, 2010) and the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (Jan. 8-9, 2011) in parishes and in the community. One hundredpercent of the funds raised through this special effort are returned to the counties in which they were collected to provide direct assistance to families in need. “Keep the Kids Warm” specifically aims to assist those “working poor” families who do not qualify for government assistance, as well as those families who have no resources after government subsidized programs like HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program) have lapsed. The need for utility assistance has been a growing need for Catholic Charities, particularly over the past five years. Donations to support Catholic Charities’ “Keep the Kids Warm” collection can be sent to: Catholic Charities, Keep the Kids Warm, P. O. Box 614, Youngstown, Ohio 44501. Donations can also be made on Catholic Charities’ Web site at www.ccdoy.org. For more information, contact Brian Corbin, executive director of Catholic Charities Services, at 330-744-8451, ext. 320.

ELECTRONIC IMAGE COURTESY OF THE WESTERN RESERVE CONSERVANCY

William Abell Jr. of Warren, a retired teacher, recently donated a 220-acre conservation easement on his family’s property in Ashtabula County’s Morgan Township.

Natural resources Group endorses renewal of conservation easement

he state’s largest land conservancy is applauding the renewal of a federal tax incentive for private landowners – especially working family farmers – who protect their land with a voluntary conservation easement. Western Reserve Land Conservancy, which serves a 14-county region in northern Ohio, endorsed the move by Congress to renew the incentive, which had expired at the end of 2009. The tax incentive has helped the Land Conservancy work with willing landowners to preserve more than 22,000 acres of productive agricultural lands and natural areas in the state of Ohio. Conservation-minded landowners now have until Dec. 31, 2011 to take advantage of a significant tax deduction for donating a voluntary conservation agreement to permanently protect important natural or historic resources on their land. When landowners donate a conservation easement to the Land Conservancy, they maintain ownership and management of their land and can sell or pass the land on to their heirs, while

The state’s largest land conservancy is applauding the renewal of a federal tax incentive for private landowners – especially working family farmers – who protect their land with a voluntary conservation easement. foregoing future development rights. The enhanced incentive applies to a landowner’s federal income tax. It: ◆ Raises the deduction a donor can take for donating a voluntary conservation agreement from 30 percent of their income in any year to 50 percent; ◆ Allows farmers and ranchers to deduct up to 100 percent of their income; and ◆ Increases the number of years over which a donor can take deductions from six to 16 years. “Conservation easements have become an extremely important tool for protecting our treasured natural resources in northern Ohio, and we thank Congress for recognizing the need to renew this incentive,” said Land Conservancy Vice President Eddie Dengg. “Our whole community wins when

thoughtful landowners voluntarily conserve their land this way, protecting wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, productive agricultural land, parkland and scenic landscapes.” Anyone wanting more information about the voluntary conservation easements can contact the Land Conservancy at 440-729-9621 or info@wrlandconservancy.org. According to the Land Trust Alliance, the national organization that provides a voice for land trusts in Washington, D.C., bills to make this incentive permanent have 274 House and 41 Senate co-sponsors from all 50 states, including majorities of Democrats and Republicans in the House. This legislation is supported by more than 60 national agricultural, sport and conservation organizations. The Western Reserve Land Conservancy was formed in 2006 when eight local land trusts joined forces in the largest-ever merger of its type. The Land Conservancy, which works to preserve the scenic beauty, rural character and natural resources of northern Ohio, has preserved more than 350 properties and more than 22,000 acres.

Organizer advocates creation of regional railroad port authority

he $400 million for the “3-C” (Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati) passenger rail project is already Ohio's loss, and the West Coast's gain. Ohio's incoming state government is not ready, willing, or able to make “3-C” a reality. Columbus and Southwest Ohio apparently do not see the value of passenger rail service and will not support it, even if it is given to them. The voters in these counties overwhelmingly supported the politicians who vehemently oppose the “3-C” project. Elections have consequences, and the voters’ will must be recognized and respected, even if we disagree. For passenger rail advocacy to survive and grow, we need a success story; and “CYP” (or Cleveland-Youngstown-Pittsburgh) is in a better position to succeed than “3-C.” (Does “3-C” have the level and multi-facetted dimensions of support for that we have built for “CYP?”) “CYP” has built an interstate coalition, with a focus on business economic development. “CYP” will fill the Ohio

LOCAL OPINION

“gap in the map,” linking the majority of the U.S. population located in the combined regions of the Midwest and East Coast, through the existing Pittsburgh connection. The “C” in “CYP” may actually be Chicago. In the research discussed at the recent Regional Network meeting in Youngstown, the demand for the Cleveland-to-Pittsburgh route is surpassed by the Chicago-to-Pittsburgh route, travelling through Cleveland and Youngstown. “CYP” is in a better position to become the proving ground for the viability of passenger rail service in Ohio. Therefore, I recommend prioritizing all efforts and resources toward “CYP,” and putting “3-C” on the back burner. “CYP” will require an interstate legal entity to authorize this project, receive funding, and make it a reality. At the “All Aboard Ohio!” meetings at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber, I have proposed forming a Penn-Ohio Port Authority, patterned after the New YorkNew Jersey Port Authority. The powers of a Port Authority go beyond transportation infrastructure, with the ability to invest in economic develop-

LETTERS TO THE EDITIOR ment with buildings, industrial financing, and technology development. A pro-active port authority can transform the Rust Belt into a productive industrial Tech Belt. This Interstate Port Authority could be formed by a coalition of counties in western Pennsylvania (from Erie to the counties east of the greater Pittsburgh metropolis) and northern Ohio (extending to Toledo and the Indiana border). It could be expanded across northern Indiana into the Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee metropolis, and north into Michigan, forming a “Great Lakes Regional Port Authority,” along with Buffalo and western New York. These old industrial Rust-Belt communities share more with each other economically and culturally than they share with their own state capitals. The common complaint that I have heard from people in these communities is that they are neglected and exploited “orphans/stepchildren” of their own state governments. It may be necessary for this Interstate

Port Authority to be chartered by the federal government, if it is not authorized, or contradicted, by the laws of each of each state. Forging strategic alliances with communities and legislators from this entire multi-state region may be the only way to gain the political capital needed for federal approval. The federal and state governments are financially broken, and can be expected to repeat the 1980s practice of withdrawing from capital investment in the U.S. We cannot depend upon them; we have to do this ourselves, with our own resources. Ohio is the key to this entire effort, the chasm between the Midwest and East Coast. “All Aboard Ohio!” is in a position to make this a reality, and prove to Ohio what the rest of the world seems to already know – that passenger rail service is a viable, energy-efficient transportation mode for the 21st century. – JAMES JAY PIRKO, NILES, OHIO James Jay Pirko is Pickens Plan District Leader (OH-17) and a “Railroads and the Pickens Plan” group leader.

7 steps for making your New Year’s resolutions stick FROM THE HARVARD HEALTH LETTER

aybe you plan to ring in 2011 with a new resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more, not sweat the small stuff. And maybe these resolutions sound familiar – maybe just like the ones you made a year ago! So how can you ensure that your determination to get healthier in 2011 sticks around past Valentine’s Day? By creating new habits. Creating new habits takes time and energy. A new behavior won’t become automatic overnight, but you may enjoy some of its benefits fairly quickly. Also, as you start to take walks regularly or engage in stress-soothing practices frequently, you’ll find you won’t feel quite right if you stop. That’s a great incentive to continue. So, keep nudging yourself in the direction you’d like to go. And try the following seven tips to help you create long-lasting change. Dream big. Audacious goals are compelling. Want to compete in a marathon or triathlon? Lose 50 pounds or just enough to fit into clothes you once loved? With perseverance, encouragement, and support, you can do it. An ambitious aim often inspires others around you. Many will cheer you on. Some will be happy to help in practical ways, such as by training with you or taking on tasks you normally handle in order to free up your time. Break big dreams into small-enough steps. Now think tiny. Small steps move

you forward to your ultimate goal. Look for surefire bets. Just getting to first base can build your confidence to tackle – and succeed at – more difficult tasks. Don’t disdain easy choices. If you start every plan with “Make list,” you’re guaranteed to check one box off quickly. That’s no joke: a study on loyalty programs that aim to motivate consumers found giving people two free punches on a frequentbuyer card encouraged repeat business. So break hard jobs down into smaller line items, and enjoy breezing through the easy tasks first. Understand why you shouldn’t make a change. That’s right. Until you grasp

why you’re sticking like a burr to old habits and routines, it may be hard to muster enough energy and will to take a hard left toward change. Unhealthy behaviors like overeating and smoking have immediate, pleasurable payoffs as well as costs. So when you’re considering a change, take time to think it through.

Emphasize small fitness gains that are sustainable.

You boost your chance of success when the balance of pluses and minuses tips enough to make adopting a new behavior more attractive than standing in place. Engaging in enjoyable aspects of an unhealthy behavior, without the behavior itself, helps too. For example, if you enjoy taking a break while having a smoke, take the break and enjoy it, but find healthier ways to do so. Otherwise, you’re working against a headwind and are less likely to experience lasting success. Commit yourself. Make yourself accountable through a written or verbal promise to people you don’t want to let down. That will encourage you to slog through tough spots. One intrepid soul created a Facebook page devoted to her goals for weight loss. You can make a less public promise to your partner or child, a teacher, doctor, boss, or friends. Want more support? Post your promise on Facebook, tweet it to your followers, or seek out folks with like-minded goals online. Give yourself a medal. Don’t wait to call yourself a winner until you’ve pounded through the last mile of your big dream mar-

One intrepid soul created a Facebook page devoted to her goals for weight loss. You can make a less public promise to your partner or child, a teacher, doctor, boss, or friends. athon or lost every unwanted ounce. Health changes are often incremental. Encourage yourself to keep at it by pausing to acknowledge success as you tick off small and big steps en route to a goal. Blast your favorite tune each time you reach 5,000 steps. Get a pat on the back from your coach or spouse. Ask family and friends to cheer you on. Look for an online support group. Or download the “Attaboy” app for your iPhone or iPod to enjoy a stream of compliments whenever you need to hear it. Learn from the past. Any time you fail to make a change, consider it a step toward your goal. Why? Because each sincere attempt represents a lesson learned. When you hit a snag, take a moment to think about what did and didn’t work. Maybe you took on too big a challenge? If so,

scale back to a less ambitious challenge, or break the big one into tinier steps. If nailing down 30 consecutive minutes to exercise never seems to work on busy days, break that down by aiming for three 10-minute walks – one before work, one during lunch, one after work – or a 20-minute walk at lunch plus a 10-minute mix of marching, stair climbing, and jumping rope or similar activities slipped into your TV schedule. ◆ Give thanks for what you do. Forget perfection. Set your sights on finishing that marathon, not on running it. If you compete to complete, you’ll be a winner even if you wind up walking as much as you run. With exercise – and so many other goals we set – you’ll benefit even when doing less than you’d like to do. Any activity is always better than none. If your goal for Tuesday is a 30-minute workout at the gym, but you only squeeze in 10 minutes, feel grateful for that. It’s enough. Maybe tomorrow will be better. © 2010, The Harvard Health Letter.Used with permission.

RESTAURANTS

Alberini’s hosts Warren Ski Club’s annual taste ecember is always a month full of fun wine events and house parties. My first event was the Warren Ski Club’s annual wine taste held at Alberini’s Resaturant in Niles. Chookie Alberini provided a delicious array of selected hors d’oeuvres for the 100-plus attendees. He asked if I could help pour wine for him, and I jumped at the chance, to get everyone’s opinion on the various wines. The Snoqualmie 2008 Vineyards Riesling from Washington’s Columbia Valley was a hands-down favorite white selection. Crisp, bright citrus flavors and a spicy off-dry finish make this lightbodied wine an ideal choice for wide range of foods. A red that was very popular was the Nannicola Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Soft round tannins and oodles of black cherry and spice flavors make this an easy-drinking wine that is sure to win many converts. I’ll have more to report on this delicious red in future columns. All in all, I had a great time pouring wine at this event and seeing so many old friends. My next event took me to the Belmont Avenue Giant Eagle in Liberty for their holiday food and wine show. Giant Eagle’s Jarred Johnson prepared a feast consisting of steamed mussels, shrimp, coconut-crusted chicken, bacon-wrapped scallops, pork and beef tenderloin, lamb, and many assorted desserts. A sparkling wine that really stood out was the non-vintage Korbel Brut made in the traditional Methode Champenoise style (fermented in the bottle on its own yeast). It features crisp and dry citrus fruit flavors and a textured finish that was just right for the bacon-wrapped jumbo scallops. My next selection was the Beringer Founder’s Estate Pinot Noir. Soft berry and spice flavors followed by a smoky berry-tinged finish, it was just the answer for the herb- and garlic-rubbed lamb. My next pick was the Main Street Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County. At $11.99, this is one heck of a bargain. Creamy citrus flavors and a lightly oaked finish made it near perfect with the coconut-crusted chicken. Another item that caught my eye (and

This is a great product for parties featuring cocktails and cream-style martinis. Thanks to the owners and staff of Giant Eagle for inviting me to this fun event. The Springfield Grille was my next stop for their monthly wine dinner. This month, they featured the wines of Purple Feet distributors. The first course of

Russian-style smoked salmon blini was paired to Uvaggio’s 2008 Vermentino from Lodi, Calif. The Vermentino grape is originally from Italy, producing a crisp, light-textured white wine. It was just right with the buckwheat blini topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Japanese sushi would also be a nice match for this unique Vermentino. A wild mushroom latke (potato pancake) salad was paired to a 2008 Havenscourt Chardonnay from Lodi, Calif. for course no. 2. Bright lemony flavors with just a touch of oak went nicely with the rich wild mushroom latkes. A delicious Havenscourt Pinot Noir was our next item. It was paired SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE 19

2009 Toad Hollow Francine’s Selection Unoaked Chardonnay ($13.99) from

to fire-grilled vegetables wrapped in phyllo pillows, drizzled in a Pinot Noir glaze. Ripe berry-tinged flavors and a soft textured finish characterized this mediumbodied wine. It was great with the firegrilled vegetables. Springfield’s main course is a great favorite of mine. The free-range “airline” chicken (specially cut chicken breast) stuffed with dates and arugula was paired to a 2005 Tin Barn Winery Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County. At $19.99 (originally $39.99), this is one of the best deals you can get for a fine Cab from Sonoma County. Deep purple in color with intense dark cherry flavors, it finishes with round tannins tinged with mocha and toasty oak. For our dessert course, we were served an apple tartlet with crème anglaise (a light pouring custard) topped with ginger chocolate ice cream. It was paired to a 2007 Kit Fox Proprietary Red from California. A supple blend of Zinfandel and Syrah, the Kit Fox exhibits sweet and spicy fruit flavors that worked wonderfully well with the apple tartlet. My store tastings started with Wine Styles of Howland featuring six different red wines from around the globe. My first pick was the 2008 Pillar Box Red from Australia ($12.99). This delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (25 percent), Merlot (9 percent) and Shiraz (66 percent) exhibits bold ripe blueberry and spice flavors followed by a balanced, clean finish. My next pick was the 2005 Chateau Langlet from the Graves region of Bordeaux. This fine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot was originally priced at $39.99, but has been reduced to $22.99, making it an attractive bargain. Supple red fruit flavors and a spicy vanillatinged finish make this medium-bodied red a joy to drink. At this price, lay a few bottles aside and see what happens over the next few years. The second Saturday taste at Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road was my next stop on the wine trail. Once again, Chuck and Debbie had a unique group

Mendocino County fruit. Toad Hollow is a producer that never disappoints me, and their unoaked Chardonnay is a real joy to drink. Refreshingly light with melon and tropical fruit flavors, it should be just the ticket for pan-fried walleye or shellfish. My red pick was the 2008 Wente Winery Southern

Hills

Cabernet

Sauvignon

($13.99) from Livermore Valley, Calif. At this price, the Southern Hills is a fantastic bargain for someone looking for a classic California Cabernet at a reasonable price. Intense dark fruit flavors and a supple finish combine to make a Cabernet that everyone can enjoy. Over the past year, I’ve sampled a number of Wente wines and found them to be excellent values. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s monthly Saturday taste produced a couple of tasty wines that everyone can enjoy. At $7.99, the Angio Petta Moscato from Puglia, Italy is a great bargain for someone looking for an off-dry white with loads of upfront spice-tinged fruit flavors. The crisp and spritzy finish will keep you coming back for more. A bowl of fresh fruit would be a great match for this tasty Moscato. The 2005 Rosso Dolce Red ($8.99) from Pilliteri Estate Wines of Canada is an offdry blend of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, Niagara Cabernet Franc, Niagara Cabernet Sauvignon, and Niagara Gamay. Fruitforward with soft tannins, this is an easydrinking wine that would be a great choice for any mulled wine recipe. Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland

produced a number of delicious wines at their every-other-Saturday store tasting. My first pick was the 2006 Tenuta di Trintoro Le Cuple IGT ($34.99) from Tuscany, Italy. This mostly Cabernet Franc (47 percent), Merlot (13.5 percent), Cabernet Sauvignon (30 percent) and Petit Verdot (9.5 percent) blend is just outstanding. It rivals other Tuscan IGTs that cost two to three times its asking price. If you’re a fan of Cabernet Franc-based blends, this is the wine for you. Crisp dark cherry flavors and a long leather- and smoke-tinged finish will have you captivated from the first sip. My next pick was the Nalle 2008 Pinot Noir ($40) from Hopkins Ranch in the Russian River Valley. Nalle Winery is better known for their textbook Zinfandels, so when I sampled this delicious Pinot, I was really surprised. Forty dollars is a lot to spend for a bottle of wine, but this Pinot easily delivers the goods. Produced in a classic Cote du Beaune style, it had me comparing it to a Premier Cru Volnay at twice the price. Textured cherry and strawberry flavors and a spicy finish tinged with bacon fat aromas will delight you SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE 21

to the last drop. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and this would be a perfect gift and wine to cement a long relationship. December found me pouring samples of the new Main Street Winery Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay for diners at Station Square in Liberty. These inexpensive wines ($11.99) were a big hit. The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon features fruit from Lake County and produces bright cherry fruit flavors and a round easy finish that everyone seemed to enjoy. Santa Barbara County was the source for the bright-tasting Chardonnay, and this Chablis-like white was just the answer for Chef Ottavio’s classic Greek shrimp. Ottavio is currently working on redoing his wine list for the new year. Stop by during the first quarter and check out the new selections. I’ll continue to be at Station Square on selected weekends to discuss wine choices with you, answer questions, and get your feedback on your favorites. I hope to see everyone at the first Wine and Dine Ohio tasting group event at Alberini’s in Niles on Thursday, Jan. 20. My partner Jim Howe and I will have five exquisite wines from France, California, and Washington state to pair to a special menu prepared by Alberini’s Executive Chef Doug Webb. This event will focus purely on the wines presented and their intimate relationship to the prepared entrees. We are in the process of setting up a February tasting at Station Square Restaurant and we will have more information available at the January event. Saturday, Jan. 22 is the annual St. Maron’s Wine and Food Extravaganza at their church facility on Meridian Road. If you haven’t attended one of their tastings, mark your calendar – it’s a very fun event. Call the Maronite Center for more details. Upcoming events include Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, alternate Saturday tastings; Springfield Grille, call restaurant for monthly wine dinner details; Wine Styles, every Thursday and Friday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road, second Saturday tasting. I wish you

a happy and prosperous new year.

Coming soon to local television!

BEEF ROULADEN (ROLLED SIRLOIN TIP STEAKS)

HOW TO MAKE IT • To assemble a triple-decker sandwich, start by spreading mayonnaise and mustard on one slice of bread, and add one-and-a-half slices of ham, followed by one-and-a-half slices of Swiss.

RECIPE BY HELGA WENGLER It’s the middle of winter. We’re past Christmas, but there are many cold days ahead. What could be a more inspiring dinner than rolled sirloin tip steaks served on a bed of mashed potatoes? This month, Helga Wengler prepares Beef Rouladen, a delightful wintertime comfort food. Helga will demonstrate how to make Beef Rouladen during the upcoming season of “Homeplate Homestyle,” which Metro Monthly is producing for local television for 2011.

Beef Rouladen – rolled sirloin tip steaks – on a bed of homemade mashed potatoes.

HOW TO MAKE IT • Take each slice of beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper (curry powder optional) • Spread the mustard , diced onions and bacon on the slice of beef evenly, place the pickle spear in the middle.

The following recipe serves four.

• Roll beef slice tightly and tie with toothpicks or kitchen string.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Dredge the beef roll in the flour.

4 sirloin tip steaks ¼-inch thick

• Melt shortening in a pan and brown all sides of the beef roll.

4 slices of smoked bacon (diced) 2 dill pickles (optional) cut into spears 1 Tbsp mustard Salt, pepper (curry powder optional ) 1 large onion diced small. 2 Tbsp flour Shortening for frying 1 ½ cup of water or beef stock

• Add water and cover the pan. Put in oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour or in a Dutch oven on top of the stove. • Thicken the gravy with flour and season with salt and pepper as needed. This main dish is wonderful on a bed of mashed potatoes. Cover the with gravy and enjoy! Serves 4.

MONTE CRISTO SANDWICHES RECIPE BY MITCH LYNCH “I learned how to make the classic Monte Cristo during my chef’s apprenticeship at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. During my American Culinary Federation apprenticeship, I learned a variety of cooking styles from many different countries,” says Mitch Lynch. “During my rotation in the Garde Manger department, I made this sandwich that became a favorite. This year, I submitted the recipe for a national mayonnaise campaign and prepared it during a taping of our ‘Homeplate Homestyle’ show. ” Mitch will demonstrate how to make this classic sandwich during the upcoming season of “Homeplate Homestyle,” which Metro Monthly is producing for local television for 2011.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED 3 slices thin white bread or pullman

• Spread both sides of the next slice of bread with mustard and mayonnaise, and, on that slice, first arrange the turkey and then the Swiss cheese. • Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the last slice of bread and top off the sandwich with it. • Push toothpicks in the center of the each of the four sides as you would a club sandwich. Using a serrated knife, cut off the crusts. Cut the sandwich in quarters and set aside. • Heat the oil (approx. 1/4-inch deep) in a saute pan. • Dip sandwich in beaten-egg mixture. • When the oil is 350 degrees (or hot enough before it starts smoking), lay the sandwich quarters into the oil. They will brown very quickly. When golden brown, remove and drain excess oil. • Arrange on a platter with raspberry compote in the center. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and enjoy! Makes a perfect Super Bowl sandwich. Serves 3-4. RASPBERRY DIP For the raspberry dip, I use a jar of preserves, or, if in season, I use fresh raspberries. For this, take a pint of raspberries and a 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water and simmer for 5 minutes stirring. Remove from heat and let sit. You may also add a zest of orange, if you’re feeling particularly sassy!
