–Photo by Kimberly Bosco The Regal Manahawkin movie theater is located in the Stafford Shopping Plaza on Route 72. By Kimberly Bosco STAFFOR D – A lot has changed in Stafford Township in the last 20 years…except for the movie theater. It is popular opinion among residents that the local Regal Manahawkin movie theater is in desperate need of repair, “forcing” residents to travel
elsewhere to see a film due to its poor condition. According to Stafford Township’s Zoning Officer Karl Sillitoe, the theater was built in 1998 and the property has not seen any major updates or improvements since then. Now, more than ever, this kind of development might be necessary
for business. In the last few years, the cinema experience has expanded to incorporate more comfort and luxury into the activity; a major factor being the addition of power recliners. AMC describes its power recliners as such: “The power to relax is in your hands (Theater - See Page 4)

Freeholders: Fiscal Stability In 2020
By Bob Vosseller TOMS R I V ER – Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari returned to a very familiar role, that of director of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Vicar i previously served 11 times as Director of the Board, most recently in 2017. He was chosen among his peers to serve as director in 2020. He is the longest serving Freeholder in New Jersey, having fi rst been elected in 1981 and previously served as mayor of Dover (now Toms River) Township five times. He is a retired school superintendent. “It’s a privilege to be selected by my fellow freeholders to lead the board in the New Year,” Vicari said. Ga r y Q u i n n , t he newest member of the board, having been elected in 2018, will
serve as deputy director. Quinn previously served on the Lacey Committee for 15 years and also served as the township’s mayor for several years. He is the director of both the Human Services a nd Tra nspor t at ion Departments and the liaison to the Ocean County Depar tment of Solid Waste and the Ocean County Mosquito Commission. The new director and deputy director were sworn during the board’s annual re-organization meeting. Vicari serves as Chairman of the Office of Senior Services and the Department of Consumer Affairs. He is also liaison to the Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools and the Department of Tourism and Business Development. Among his priorities (Fiscal - See Page 7)

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It’s been about two months since Election Day 2019 and the essence of those election campaigns is still lingering throughout the county…literally. Maybe you’re on your morning commute to
work, driving through your local neighborhood, or heading out to do some shopping when you see it: an election campaign sign still hanging on. You’re not the only one. Micromedia Publications even has one near our Lakehurst office,
calling for voters to choose McGuckin & Catalano for New Jersey’s 10th legislative district. Which they did…on November 5. So why are these sig ns still standing so many weeks after elections? Who is responsible for them?
According to Kevin Enright of the Ocean County Board of Elections, the candidates or assigned groups who placed the signs are also responsible for their removal. In Micromedia’s case, considering that NJ’s (Signs - See Page 16)

Theater:
Continued From Page 1 in our AMC Signature Recliners. Seat warmers make it cozy, AMC makes comfort easy! Take your movie experience to the max when you tilt back & sink in to the comfort now reclining near you!” As the only theater in the southern Ocean County area, the Regal Manahawkin still manages to get foot traffic from residents unwilling to stray too far from Manahawkin. However, a majority of Stafford residents would rather travel the 20 or 30 miles to Toms River or Brick Townships for that more enjoyable movie experience. “We always go up to Marquee [in Toms River] or AMC in Brick. It is totally outdated compared to its somewhat local competition! Seats are terrible, not even stadium seating. My wife and I always say a new movie theater in Manahawkin would do CRAZY business by taking the travel out of the activity,” said resident Rob Bosco (no relation to author). Dozens of residents share Bosco’s opinion, a surprising amount traveling even further than Toms River into Brick or Howell to see a movie at a different theater, simply for the comfort and experience. Aside from the Regal Manahawkin, the only other theaters in Ocean County are the Marquee Cinemas – Orchard 10 and the AMC Seacourt 10 in Toms River, and the AMC Brick Plaza 10 in Brick. Others venture into Monmouth County to the
Xscape Theater Howell 14 in Howell, or even farther south to Hamilton to a different Regal theater. The consensus among locals is that the Manahawkin theater is dirty, uncomfortable, and very much outdated. Today, many people like to choose their seats, buy their tickets ahead of time, and recline in stadium seating if they are going to pay upwards of $11 for a movie ticket; most of which Manahawkin cannot provide. Resident Susan Diou said: “[I] Always go to Toms River or Brick [because] they have better seats, and a more updated atmosphere. The only time I will go to Stafford is in the summer during their $1.00 movie mornings. If Stafford would update I would absolutely stay local every time. It’s like they don’t even care enough to make things decent.” The Manahawkin theater follows behind other theaters, still offering level seating in chairs that do not recline. Many residents have claimed that there are often broken seats and sticky f loors inside the individual theaters, making it an uncomfortable place to sit for two hours. Resident Kelly Loftus has had bad experiences at the Regal Manahawkin, stating: “The last time I was in Manahawkin movie theater I sat in gum and some of the chairs were broken. This was back when the last Harry Potter movie was released and I have not been back since,” she said. (The final installment of the Harry Potter saga Loftus refers
to, The Deathly Hallows Part II, was released in 2011.) “I go to Brick AMC for movies, personally it’s a little bit cheaper in the cost of ticket price and the comfort of the reclining chairs,” Loftus added. Resident Elaine Sipos can also attest to the lack of cleanliness at the theater, stating that there is often popcorn coating the f loors among other inconveniences. “Last few times we went to the movie in Manahawkin we had to purchase tickets at concession stand! Poor kid has to get popcorn and drinks along with selling tickets. The other worker was collecting tickets, made no sense,” she added. Other residents have also claimed that tickets are sold at concession, though Jersey Shore Online could not reach a Regal representative to confirm this. “We go to [AMC in] Brick. First because I like picking seats and tickets ahead. [Regal] is run down and dated but so is most of that end of the shopping center,” stated resident Dani Elle Adams. “There are not many things down here to do and they are losing a lot of business.” As Adams points out, the west end of the Stafford shopping center located on Route 72 is mostly vacant by now, many other stores following suit after Kmart went under in 2017. Where there used to be a Radio Shack, pizza restaurant, Carvel ice cream shop, Mandee’s clothing store, and more, there is now empty storefronts yet to be filled by the plaza’s new owner. While the majority chooses to avoid the

Manahawkin theater, other residents still go in order to support local commerce. “I realize that our Manahawkin theater may not be a shining star with reclining seats, but it is local and shows good movies!!! We need to do business locally or face the possibility of losing it,” stated Sandra Van Duyne Hall, echoing Adams’ comment that there is little in the way of entertainment in this area. “Everyone wants brand new, but there is a price to be paid for that…Buildings are like people, we all get older, that doesn’t make us useless.” Resident Darla Annovick is also a regular customer at the Manahawkin theater. “We purchased the Regal Club deal for $20 month and go as often as we like. Sure it isn’t as nice as other theaters, but it is never crowded, friendly staff, free refills on popcorn and drinks.” Some residents who prefer the Manahawkin theater feel it is much easier to bring noisy kids to, as the crowds are smaller and less likely to be disturbed. “We go to the theater here! It’s convenient, never overcrowded and my kids love it. Would recliner seats be nice? Yes... But it’s not a deal breaker,” stated Leah Heumiller Wahlgren. It seems the refrain coming from a majority of residents, including those who continue to visit the Manahawkin theater, is that it “needs a makeover.” Representatives from Regal Manahawkin and Regal Management did not respond to requests for comment from Jersey Shore Online as of print time.

Continued From Page 1 for 2020 include continuation of affordable government, Vicari said. “Ocean County has the fourth-lowest county tax rate in the state. I can promise our residents that there will be no surprises when the county budget is introduced later this year.” Stressing education as another priority, Vicari said the opening of the new vocational school Performing Arts Academy at Ocean County College will be a highlight of 2020. “The new state-of-the-art facility will allow students to complete a two-year college degree while still in high school.” Another issue that will carry through to 2020 includes “fighting for senior citizens and opposing both federal and state cuts to senior programs,” Vicari said. “Washington D.C. and Trenton cannot balance their budgets on the backs of our seniors. It has to stop.” Vicari said he also looks forward to working closely with Quinn. “I look forward to serving with Freeholder Director Vicari and the other members of the board in maintaining our AAA bond rating,” Quinn said. A good bond rating, like AAA, allows the county to borrow money at a lower rate. “Affordability and outstanding services have long been priorities of this Board of Freeholders and will continue to be in 2020.” Before Vicari and Quinn flipped their nameplates to show their new titles, Congressman Chris Smith administered the oath of office to Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines who was sworn in for her second three-year term. She had served as the board’s director in 2019. She was appointed to the Board on January 27, 2016 to fill the seat left vacant by Freeholder James F. Lacey. Haines, who serves as chairwoman to the department of Parks and Recreation and the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, noted “there are 600,000 people who live in Ocean County.
The Southern Ocean Times, January 11, 2020, Page 7 As we get to the business of county government I am sure 2020 will have its share of challenges what year doesn’t but I know each year brings new opportunities.” In a moment of levity, Freeholder Kelly thanked 3rd District Democrat Congressman Andy Kim for attending the meeting among the many Ocean County dignitaries present, saying, “listen to Van Drew” in reference to Rep. Jefferson H. Van Drew who was the Democratic nominee in New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district in the 2018 election and who on December 19, 2019, announced that he had joined the Republican Party. “I started elected office in 1979. I wasn’t even married yet. However, Congressman Chris Smith was a congressman in 1979 and he is now the senior member of congress in the state of New Jersey. I am serving my tenth term on the Board of Chosen Freeholders,” Kelly said. Kelly who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Finance said, “I assure you this year’s budget taxes will not go up and I believe they will again go down.” Freeholder Gerry P. Little was among those who gave praise to former Freeholder and Ocean County Republican Party leader Joseph Buckelew and noted that Ocean County has the largest parks system, road system and library system in the state. “We also have the largest public health agency in the state.” Quinn and Haines both commended Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy who was sworn in for a new term of office in a separate swearing in ceremony earlier in the day. Kim told the members of the board, “I have faith in the people of Ocean County and the five of you.” “It is a pleasure to work with you. You have great senses of humor you get the job done and you are great lawmakers for the county,” Smith said of the Freeholder board. Buckelew said “if the rest of New Jersey modeled Ocean County it would be a better state. I am proud of you all.”

No Lump Doesn’t Mean No Breast Cancer “I don’t have a lump, so there’s no way I can have breast cancer.” This statement reflects a misconception, unfortunately. While a lump is the most common tell-tale symptom of breast cancer, the absence of a lump doesn’t mean that breast cancer can’t be present. There are other methods to detect breast cancer, aside from feeling a lump, and screening is the key. Advances in mammography and ultrasound, are allowing radiologists to detect a larger number of non-palpable masses in the breast. Nonpalpable means the mass cannot be felt. With cancer, non-palpable growths are too small to be felt, but they can be detected on ultrasound, mammography or an MRI. Non-palpable masses may be cancerous or benign. A tissue sampling, called a core needle biopsy, will be necessary to rule out cancerous cells. Like non-palpable masses, calcifications, or calcium deposits, cannot be felt, but can detected in the breast tissue with a mammography. Breast calcifications appear as white spot or specks on a mammography and are common especially after menopause. However, certain patterns of microcalcifications, such as tight clusters or calcifications that differ in size, shape, and density may indicate early breast cancer. Your doctor will order a secondary, or diagnostic mammography, with additional magnification views to get a closer look at the calcifications. If the micro-calcifications are still of concern, your doctor may recommend a core needle biopsy, or if wide spread, an excisional biopsy. In the absence of a palpable lump, screening mammography, ultrasound and MRI techniques have dramatically increased the number of breast cancers detected. As a result many cases of breast cancer are being caught at earlier stages, which results in improved survival rates. The single best thing you can do is to maintain your regularly scheduled screening mammographies, and then follow your doctor’s advice if more diagnostic tests are warranted. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that just because you don’t feel a lump, there’s no way you can have breast cancer. Public Service Information taken from written studies and published data.

Elbow Up
For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.
Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

Lettuce Alternatives By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
At this point, you should probably just throw out all your lettuce. It doesn’t matter if it came from Salinas, California because other states may be involved now. There have been over 100 reported cases across 23 states at the time of this writing. There is an official recall. I’m not being an alarmist, Just the other day, we were told to trash those convenient bagged salad ‘kits’ because there are various types of lettuce in there, and some bags might have the contaminated E. coli leaves in it. The warning to consumers was about the brand called, Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Chopped Salad Kits.” Just days after that urgent concern, the FDA has announced it is looking into several other E. coli outbreaks linked to lettuce grown from other states. There are multiple strains of pathogens and once infected, symptoms can show up between 1 day and a week later! One quick thing, if you are supported on warfarin or other anticoagulants, please be aware that all salad greens are high in Vitamin K (some more than others), so do not change your diet without your doctor’s approval and supervision. Here are some lettuce alternatives for those of you who wish to avoid Romaine and other lettuces: Rainbow or Swiss chard. These have broad green leaves attached to a bright crimson red stalk. The red in the leaves and stalk is due to the natural dye “betalain” which is used for liver health. If you’ve ever cooked chard, you know this shrinks to nothing! You can fill a
giant 16 quart pot with these, and by the time you’ve steamed it over five minutes, you’ll end up with a spoonful! I once bought 6 of these at once, and when I checked out at the supermarket, the cashier sarcastically asked me if I was going to eat all that myself. Without batting an eye, I quipped, “No I have a horse to feed!” Spinach. Like all leafy greens, spinach is high in fiber and promotes regularity. It contains oxalates, and it is very rich in potassium which regulates blood pressure. Radicchio. Radicchio is a small, round reddish-purple sphere and pairs well with greens in a salad. It’s way tastier than red cabbage. Add radicchio to your salad because it is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and other micronutrients. Mustard Greens. Taste this green before chopping it into your salad, because most people have to acquire the taste! I must be weird, I don’t mind eating it raw. If you lightly steam or Blanche it, you will reduce the bitterness. This popular plant gives us mustard seeds, which can be turned into one of our favorite condiments! Watercress. Very versatile and contains over 50 vitamins and minerals. Scientific data shows this can help prevent DNA cellular damage and in that regard, perhaps slow the development of cancer. Sometimes people worry about the goitrogenic effect on iodine absorption, and subsequent production of thyroid hormone, but I think a little watercress is just fine.

10th district is comprised of Bay Head, Brick, Island Heights, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Pt. Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights and Toms River in Ocean County, it might be safe to assume that McGuckin has had some help placing those signs. Tom Bonfonti, Executive Director for the Ocean County GOP, told Jersey Shore Online that the majority of election campaign signs you see are put up with help from the community. “The process of putting up lawn signs is a rather simple one. The significant majority of the lawn signs are put up with the assistance of folks in the local community. Those signs are all also taken down after Election Day by those same people,” Bonfonti explained. Essentially, if you put a sign up, you take it down. That is also a good way of keeping
a record of where signs are located, through the accountability of the public. However, not everyone or every group follows through with that, as evidenced by leftover signs. Bonfonti added that, “Outside of that process, volunteers and supporters will often ask for signs. When a volunteer takes a sign they will most likely be placing it on their own lawn. Sometimes, those volunteers put them up in public and do not inform us.” This is likely the case with the signs still lingering, he said. And that goes for any campaigns that were part of this recent election. “We advise everyone to take down their signs after Election Day. We also ask the folks who help us put them out originally to take down signs of ours (even if they did not place them originally) if they see them when they are out and in the community,” said Bonfonti. Moral of the story: if you see a lingering sign, grab it and recycle it.
Awaken Memories With Music Looking To Aid Dementia Patients
STAFFORD - We all have favorite songs that instantly transport us back to special times in our lives. Music is one of the most effective tools to enhance the lives of patients with dementia. Even patients with advanced dementia benefit from listening to the old familiar songs they loved. They come to life and many speak for the first time in months or years. The Stafford Township Recreation Department’s Awaken Memories With Music project is looking for donations of Ipods, MP3 players, over-the-ear headphones, device chargers and ITunes cards to kick off a community effort to get music into the lives of our neighbors with dementia. With the help of caregivers, volunteers will personalize each device with a patient’s favorite
songs. The players are then given to the patients to keep and enjoy the benefits every day. Players can be dropped off at the following locations: • The Recreation Office at Town Hall, 260 East Bay Ave. • The Bay Ave.Community Center, 775 East Bay Avenue • The Pine Street Recreation Building, 25 Pine St. For more information, call Deb Budesa at 609-597-1000 Ext. 8583 The mission of the Stafford Township Recreation Department is to fulfill the recreational needs of the community and to develop a variety of quality programs that fit and address these needs.

next day which left many in his district scratching their heads. The last time a president came to south Jersey was when President Ronald Regan visited Hammonton in 1984. President Barack Obama came to the Jersey Shore after Superstorm Sandy where he was photographed with Governor Chris Christie.

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe Hackensack Meridian Hospitals Receive Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Awards
COMING SOON! Now Hiring Agents
For Barnegat 67 Location
CALL FOR DETAILS 732.797.9001 Office EACH OFFICE INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED
BRICK – The Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs at Hackensack Meridian Health southern region hospitals were recognized by the New Jersey Department of Health for their dedication to antimicrobial stewardship at the New Jersey Antimicrobial Stewardship Collaborative Annual Conference Thursday, December 5. The 2019 Gold Steward, the highest level an organization can achieve, was awarded to Ocean Medical Center and Southern Ocean Medical Center. Jersey Shore University Medical Center was awarded Bronze Steward status. Less than 25 N.J. hospitals achieved recognition. The hospitals’ antimicrobial teams promote the appropriate use of antimicrobials, chemical agents used to inhibit bacteria, to improve patient safety, reduce microbial resistance and decrease the spread of infections caused by multidrug resistant organisms. “We are proud of our work to establish leading edge Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in the fight against antimicrobial resistance,” said Kenneth N. Sable, M.D., MBA, FACEP, regional president,
southern market, Hackensack Meridian Health. “These recognitions demonstrate our dedication to provide high quality, safe care to our patients and paves the way for similar innovative programs that improve patient outcomes and experience.” The Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program acknowledges health care facilities and physician practices that demonstrate, through written documentation, they have met or exceeded minimum expectations for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Core Elements of Antimicrobial Stewardship. The N.J. Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Awards, launched this year, is a voluntary, incentive program that encourages health care facilities to assess how well they are applying the CDC’s core elements, a set of key principles to guide efforts to improve antibiotic use, advance patient safety and improve outcomes. Based on the level of difficulty of stewardship programs’ interventions, hospitals are awarded either the Gold, Silver or Bronze Antimicrobial Stewardship status.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 11 - jan 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): An abundance of physical energy and high spirits makes your popularity rise to new heights. Your efforts will be rewarded in the week ahead with admiration as well as a bigger bank balance or unexpected bonus. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be called upon to volunteer time to a worthy cause or participate in a public event. In the week ahead, you can expand your network of friends by joining groups that gather for a worthwhile purpose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on being friendly and outgoing in the week ahead. Loved ones and friends have been tolerant of your occasional rants and raves in the past but may need you to become more open-minded and obliging. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Getting out and about is the best prescription for cabin fever. A trip to the newest market or even some online shopping may satisfy your wanderlust this week. A partner will appreciate any steps you take to save money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can smile even when you are filled with grit and determination. In the week ahead you may become fixated on solving problems and fixing failures. You can easily switch gears to enjoy carefree time with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may be your specialty as this week begins. Putting your creative genius to practical use, however, may require a great deal more effort than anticipated. Ask for help and you’ll likely receive it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hang out with people who promote positivity. In the week
to come, you may meet people who inspire you to adjust your outlook on life in uplifting ways. You may feel more attractive or receive unexpected admiration. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Respect the rights of others who wish to act independently, and they will respect your rights in return. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to exchange affectionate sweet nothings with a romantic partner in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your enthusiasm, productivity and dedication to living up to your commitments could be more noticeable in the upcoming week. Keep a pen handy to jot down notes, as some of your ideas could be revolutionary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brotherly love could bubble up from your heart and overpower a tendency to be businesslike. Speaking your mind on certain issues can win you friends if you exercise diplomacy, discretion and tact as this week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a decision before your plans are hijacked by someone else. In the coming week you can be more resolute and aggressive when faced with choices. Act in your own best interest without taking advantage of others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your ability to make money may improve during the week ahead if you tap into energetic impulses. Distribute free samples of your products or show generosity toward others to win favorable attention and spread goodwill.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fortify Yourself During Winter With This Easy Garlic Soup Recipe By Wolfgang Puck We all know that there are four astronomical seasons in the year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. But, in our daily lives, we divide up the year into so many more seasons: the holidays just past, New Year’s resolutions have just begun; it’s back-to-school season, tax season, vacation season, and on and on. And many of those specialized seasons overlap each other. Right now, we’re in a real seasonal pileup, as resolutions and cold and flu season come right on top of winter. With that in mind, I’d like to share a simple recipe to help you deal with all the many demands this time of year may bring: my Cream of Garlic Soup. First, consider your resolutions. You may have sworn that you’ll save some money this year by enjoying more home-cooked meals. This recipe will help you achieve that goal by producing delicious food from inexpensive ingredients - primarily garlic cloves and potatoes - in only about half an hour. The soup may also help you reach a weight-loss goal, because it’s a dish that satisfies the appetite by being sipped slowly, spoonful by spoonful. (And you can cut the fat and calories from the relatively small amount of cream, just 3 tablespoons per serving, by substituting buttermilk.) Cold and flu season brings its own stuffy, sniffling challenges. But garlic, an abundant ingredient in this recipe, has a long anecdotal history as a popular folk remedy for such illnesses. While medical researchers are still divided on whether or not garlic actually works to fight viruses and relieve congestion, some studies have found evidence that those who eat it regularly get ill less often and suffer less severe symptoms. And while I know the old joke about how someone who eats a lot of garlic can’t get close enough to other people to pass along germs, the garlic in this soup actually turns mild and sweet tasting thanks to blanching in boiling water as the first step in the recipe. Finally, there’s winter itself. To me, few foods chase away the chill of this season more effectively than a hot bowl of soup to start a meal. To help you get the most flavorful results, I’m also happy to share my simple recipe for super-quick rich chicken stock, which takes minutes to prepare and will help make store-bought stock or broth taste surprisingly close to homemade. Start with a good-quality product that’s lower in sodium. Simmer the stock while you’re prepping other ingredients for whatever recipe in which you’ll use it. In addition to the enhancements I list, you can also include leftover chicken bones, other vegetable trimmings or other mild fresh herbs. Here’s to a happy, thrifty, healthy, warming and flavorful bowlful! CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP Serves 6 For the soup: 2 cups (500 ml) peeled garlic cloves 1 large baking potato, about 3/4 pound (375 g),
peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 2 cups (500 mL) super-quick rich chicken stock (recipe follows) or good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped chives (optional garnish) For the basil oil: 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil First, blanch the garlic: Put the garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the garlic cloves to the pan, add the potatoes and stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to piece easily with a fork or sharp knife tip, about 20 minutes. Pour in the cream. Over medium heat, bring back to a gentle boil. Meanwhile, prepare the basil oil: Put the basil, parsley, and oil in a blender and blend until smoothly pureed. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a glass bowl; set aside. Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling, transfer the soup to the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, carefully following the manufacturer’s instruction to avoid spattering. Transfer the soup to a clean saucepan and gentle rewarm over low heat, adjusting the seasonings to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Drizzle with a small spoonful of basil oil, refrigerating the remainder in an airtight container. You can also garnish with chopped chives, if you wish.
