FEAST OF THE PIRATES
A Pirate invasion on the Riverwalk - Belville
Each year Wilmington Harbor Enhancement Trust (WHET) holds an event coinciding with Riverfest called the Invasion of the Pirates. In 2015, they mixed things up a bit and changed the event name to Feast of the Pirates in honor of the festivals that took place in the late 1920’s of the same name. This year the Feast takes place at Belville Riverwalk on September 15th, from 9 AM to 6 PM.
Watch for details on the Feast of the Pirates webpage at: http://feastofthepirates. com There will be pirate re-enactments, food vendors and plenty of fun for the whole family to enjoy.
The original Feast of the Pirates history
For three short years in the 1920s, Wilmington hosted a Feast of Pirates, which the organizers advertised as full of “fun, frolic and friendship.” On August 10, 11th and 12th, 1927, the first Feast of Pirates took place. “Pirates” sailed up the Cape Fear River, and took over the town. Each year during the festivities, there were a slew of events: pageants, parades, songs, dancing, boat races, baby parades, illuminated boat parades, and a bathing beauty contest. Local lore claims the festival was bawdy and raucous fun and that after three years of drunken street revelry, town elders squashed the event. For more information, visit: www.feastofthe pirates.com.

House of Pickleball is open for biz & fun STORY BY AMI BROWN
I
f you have not heard of Pickleball, then you are out of the trendy loop! This fun new game is sweeping the nation and world, and now Brunswick Forest. This already active community has even more to offer the residents of Leland and surrounding area - a dedicated state of the art facility, House of Pickleball. This 12,000 SF, six-court indoor arena has been a dream and two-year project for Pickleball player and one of the owners, Richard Holloman.
“We said, ‘We are gonna build a worldclass indoor pickleball facility,’” Holloman said. “It’s been a two-year dream that’s now a reality.” Leland and Brunswick County are really growing with more people moving into the area. This facility in Brunswick Forest offers a great alternative to the hard outdoor asphalt courts in some neighborhoods. The HOP has a Sports Master rubberized cushioned surface, which is easier on the knees
and joints. This is the perfect solution for retirees, or people with mobility issues. The HOP has seen an influx of younger players, of all ages. “Pickleball is a multi-generational sport, meant for all ages,” says Glenda Pfister one of the owners. It’s a cross between tennis, badminton and ping pong and young people do not have an advantage or disadvantage when it comes to playing.
The HOP also offers training, so if you are a newbie, there wil be an instructor that will be more than happy to show you how to play. You can come play seven days a week, and you don’t need a special membership, you just pay a minimal day rate. Later in the year (November) they will be offering memberships for 2019 - so keep an eye out on their facebook page or website for more information.
The HOP also hosts tournaments and events. The Lump for Laughter Breast Cancer Tournament is scheduled for September 19-23. You can still register at www. pickleballtournaments.com.
The HOP is open seven days a week, 7:30am - 9:30pm. Located at 115 Kay Todd Rd SE, Leland. Visit www.houseofpickleball.com or on facebook and instagram.

Lindsay’s legacy lives on through family, friends and community giving back. STORY BY AMI BROWN
T
he Lindsay M Benton Foundation was set up in honor of an extraordinary teenager. Linsday had plans to be a surgeon, to save lives one day. She was a rising senior at the Wilmington Christian Academy, and a cheerleader. She was also passionate about giving back, with Beyond the Pink and the Special Olympics. She loved her art, her photography and of course her pet guinea pigs.
In 2016, At the age of 17, Lindsay was involved in a fatal car accident. An excerpt from the website: Lindsay had always wanted to be in the medical field, but could never pinpoint what she wanted to concentrate on. After attending the National Youth Leadership Forum for Medicine the summer of 2016, she had made up her mind. I remember like it was yesterday, “I want to be a trauma surgeon and save lives,” she said. It was Lind-

say’s wish to be an organ donor. Carolina Donor Services played a big part in making sure that her legacy lives on through her gift of life. The foundation is run by her parents, step-parents and brother. They are dedicated to spreading the word about organ donation and about how Lindsay made a difference. The fundraiser day is on her birthday, Sept 29th. And this year a Corn Hole tournament has been added after the vollyball tournament. Last year the tournament raised almost $9000 and this year they hope to raise over $10,000. The Lindsay M Benton Volleyball and Corn Hole Tournament is scheduled for 9/29/18! Join us for a FUN, Family Friendly day at Capt’n Bills Backyard Grill in Wilmington, NC. Volleyball Tourney begins at 12:00 and the Corn Hole Tourney begins at 5:00!

Rice is in Our Future! The Rice Festival is on the way to Leland BY AMI BROWN
I
t’s no secret to people who have lived in Brunswick Co for any length of time the area has a thriving arts scene. Live music, art galleries, community theatre, studios, art centers, you name it, there is no shortage of variety and no lack of enthusiastic supporters.
The Leland Tourism Development Authority recently purchased the name, logo, and intellectual property of the North Carolina Rice Festival from the estate of WC Lanier, the former festival owner and promoter who in 2014 had a vision for a rice festival in this area of North Carolina. When offered the NC Rice Festival by the Lanier estate, the Leland TDA Board

recognized an opportunity to bring what Mr. Lanier started to a broad audience and expand the event to celebrate local history and culture. In order to establish the NC Rice Festival as an independent entity, a non-profit organization will be formed to operate and manage the festival, with initial financial support provided by the Leland TDA. “Our goal is to host a festival that is fun, with great food and entertainment, while also providing a historical and cultural experience,” said Jackie Harlow, Tourism & Marketing Coordinator for the Town of Leland/Leland TDA. “We would like to educate attendees about the history of rice cultivation in the region and the story of the people, including the Gullah Geechee, who grew the rice and developed a unique, vibrant culture which we hope to celebrate together.” The festival’s new direction will expand events from one day to three, change venues, and move to a new date. The NC Rice Festival will now take place the first weekend in March, beginning in 2019. Festivities will begin with an opening reception
on Friday, March 1, 2019 at the Leland Cultural Arts Center, continue with day-long festival activities in Leland Municipal Park and Town Hall on Saturday, March 2, 2019 and will conclude with area community events on Sunday, March 3, 2019. “The North Carolina Rice Festival is the type of destination event the Leland TDA has been looking for,” said Michael Callahan, Leland TDA Board Chair. “It’s an opportunity to draw tourists, build community relations, and explore the history of Leland and the surrounding area, with the potential to grow into a large-scale event in the future.

MOLASSES CREEK
Sept 21, at 7pm Molasses Creek lives on the remote island of Ocracoke off the coast of North Carolina. Ocracoke is only accessible by ferry (40 minutes from Hatteras to the north or 2.5 hours from the mainland). This small sandbar is 17 miles long with a two-mile square village at the southern end. Most of Ocracoke is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, boasting some of the most beautiful beaches in the US. The 900 residents of Ocracoke Village have always exhibited an aire of self-suf-
ficiency, and cast a perpetual eye towards the Atlantic seas watching for storms and hurricanes. A community steeped in fishing and maritime history, Ocracoke has long been home to pilots and a stopover for pirates (Blackbeard fought his final battle and lost his head right offshore!). Today this coastal community attracts artists, craftsfolk, musicians, and a large number of tourists May-November. Molasses Creek performs frequently throughout the eastern seaboard and New England, and as far west as Oklahoma and New Mexico. They own and op-

Cheers Summery Shandies Juicy beers that hit the spot in the sun STORY AND PHOTO BY JEFF STITES
I
had the idea to send the last days of summer off with a Cheers column about shandys, summery mixture of beer and, traditionally, lemonade. It seemed to me that last year they were all the rage with seemingly every little brewery making some variation on the beer and fruit juice thing. But as I went looking for samples to try I found precious few.
I picked up a variety of beers with fruit in them, but only one real shandy. Well, actually it was a radler, but we’ll get into that later. Then I went about researching shandys and was struck with a wonderful (I think) idea. As it turns out, shandys and radlers are the same thing in all real aspects. Both are mixed drinks made with half beer and half fruit juice, and sometimes with something a little extra tossed in for fun. Shandys came from England and radlers from Germany. Radler is the term for a bicyclist in German and they came up with the idea to give cyclists something to drink that wouldn’t get them too tipsy. Because God forbid a German drink, you know, water. They are quite the civilized bunch. Anyhow, I was reminded of my exploration of sangria last month. Shandys are the beer version of sangria so why not do the same thing and try to make a couple shandys of my own? I’m going to use Mexican lagers (because they say summer to me and also, why not?) and try a traditional lemonade version with a twist and also play to the Mexican angle and make a shandy with lime-ade as well. We’ll see how it goes. But first, let’s see how the professionals do it.
OWL’S BREW RADLER WICKED WATERMELON
3.8% ABV 10 IBU The Label Says: When we first batched up our refreshing double brew we were amazed by its robust and eminently quaffable flavor. We imagined people imbibing our summer breeze of a beverage. We thought of outdoor concerts…days on boats…and those wintry hours when all you want is to sip some sunshine. Then we remembered the Radler, a beer style invented in 1922 for cyclists: a bold flavor but easy enough that following a tipple, the bikers didn’t topple. Our premi-
um blend is an homage to inventor Franz Kugler’s flavorful and sessionable vision. My Take: Wow. Someone’s can blurb writer is paid by the word, don’t you think? And I promise you all right now, you will never read the words “quaffable” or “sessionable” in this column unless I’m quoting someone else. This stuff is strange. After pouring it, I wondered if I shouldn’t have shaken the can up first. The liquid has an odd color that gets deeper and darker as you reach the bottom of the can. There is a bit of sludge. I suppose that is to be expected as what we’re drinking here is beer and white tea with watermelon juice added. I figured why not test out the idea that a shandy or radler can be made with anything, right? I’ll admit I had my reservations, but honestly this brew is delicious. There is a strong aroma that comes off the glass as soon as you pour it and it pretty much matches up perfectly with the taste. So you’ll know if this is something you are likely to enjoy right off the bat. The tea and beer mix wonderfully, probably because it’s white tea and as such doesn’t over power the light beer. The watermelon provides just a bit of extra sweetness.
I could drink this stuff all day. Now that I know this sort of weirdness works, I’m going to try to mix some up myself.
DOS EQUIS SPECIAL LAGER LIME SHANDY
I figured I’d pair Dos Equis with lime because I like to put a slice of lime in it anyway. It seemed like a natural match. It was. I used pretty much exactly (though I didn’t measure) half lager and half limeade in a pint glass with a slice of lime for garnish, because I’m fancy. This wasn’t as complex as the Owl’s brew, but it was every bit as delicious. The lime-ade isn’t terribly sweet, so I think that helped make this really smooth. I could drink these one after another. That could be good or bad, now that I think about it.
shandys and sangrias. Mix and match to your hearts’ content and do so safe in the knowledge that fruit is good for you, so really you’re kind of being healthy. See? Win-win.
Wedding Cakes & Cupcakes
TECATE ORIGINAL LEMON-PEACH SHANDY
Tecate is about the most affordable Mexican import out there. I’ve heard it referred to as the PBR of Mexico, in fact. That isn’t an insult, by the way. Tecate is fine beer. I just don’t like it as much as Dos Equis, so I decided to use Tecate for my more experimental shandy. For this one I went with the same half and half lager and juice mix, this time using lemonade. As a little something extra, I put in about a quarter cup of peach brandy. I thought that since adding liquor to sangria was a good idea, surely it would work with a shandy as well. It worked even better than I’d hoped! The peach flavor added a bit of depth to the lemon and this ended up being my favorite concoction of the evening. What’s the takeaway here? Go experiment yourself. Whether you prefer beer or wine, the sky is the limit with radlers,
Make your dreams come true with a custom crafted wedding cake or cupcake arrangement . You will be amazed how something that looks so beautiful can taste soooo good! 4346 Long Beach Road • 910-457-9310 Tuesday - Friday 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. - Noon Available for Catering

Savor Shuckin’ Shack
Award winning restaurant opens in Leland STORY AND PHOTOS BY KASS FINCHER
I
f you’ve ever cruised down the main drag in Carolina Beach, no doubt you’ve stopped in at the Shuckin’ Shack there, to chow down on oysters, clams and shrimp with a cold beer. About three years ago, the owners recognized the possibilities for franchising and made that leap. Today there are 13 successful franchises throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland. One of the newest opened this past March in Leland at Brunswick Forest. Owners Sarah and Mike Lookingbill signed their lease in 2016, but the building was not finished until early this year. Sarah is not a newcomer to Shuckin’ Shack. She worked at the original location in Carolina Beach for nine years before becoming the corporate trainer for the restaurant once it began franchising, traveling to each location to work with the employees. But when the couple had a baby – now ninemonth-old Alyvia – they knew Sarah could not travel as the trainer anymore, so they decided to open their own store. Sarah talks about her experience in the industry. “I’ve been in the restaurant business forever – my parents owned a restaurant in Schenectady, where I grew up,” she says. “I’ve waited tables, bartended, all of it. It’s a very competitive industry, so it helps to have that background.” She credits her experience as the “front of the house” trainer for the Shuckin’ Shack franchisees with helping her and her husband get their own store off the ground successfully. “I got to see how the new stores fared, and they’re all doing well,” she relates. “But I saw where small things can lead to mistakes. To be honest,
Owners, Sarah and Mike Lookingbill
most important is training the employees – they’re the ones doing it for you. As the owner you can’t be everywhere at all times, so you have to train the staff to provide the very best service. My training background has definitely helped us in getting this one started.” She goes on to explain how running a restaurant as a franchise can be a plus. “As a new owner, it takes a lot of the guesswork out of it – all the marketing is done for us, social media, website, menu items,” she says. “A huge advantage is the buying power we have as a multiple store group – especially with our seafood purchasing. All those things add up and make it, for me, completely beneficial.” Today the couple employs 31 people, and the restaurant can seat 72 inside and 60 people outside. The Lookingbills work hard not only to serve great food, but also to provide a family-friendly atmosphere and entertainment to keep people coming back. “Outside we have cornhole,” Sarah explains. “I do big buckets of sidewalk chalk and bubbles for the kids. Parents
love it; they can sit and have a meal while the kids run around. There’s a big grassy area that works really well. We’re here for everybody – young groups, families with kids, retired couples – we want everyone to feel welcome and have great service here. We designed the restaurant space to allow people to feel comfortable while they’re here.” The Shack offers live music every Friday and Saturday, usually duos or small bands. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. and offers a full menu until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday they will serve until at least midnight. No doubt the Shack is known for its fresh seafood, much of it locally sourced, and all available grilled, blackened or fried. The popular peel-and-eat shrimp, crab legs and steamed clams share the spotlight with oysters – available steamed, raw or chargrilled. Sarah points to the “Saul T’s Steampot” as a great value – a dozen oysters, a dozen clams, a pound of snow crab legs, a half pound of shrimp and two pieces of corn on the cob. It’s all steamed and served in a bucket with two sides of slaw. Also popular is the Low Country Boil, with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and a side of slaw, all steamed in Old Bay spices. Lobster roll and shrimp burgers are sandwich highlights. Blackened tuna and cold crab dip lead the appetizer faves. The newest items include Cape Fear Nachos, with grilled shrimp, and scallops – as Sarah describes them: “huge, beautiful scallops.” If you’re not a seafood fan, you have other options – chicken wings, chicken sandwich, game time burger sliders. The Shack aims to please, whatever your taste. Like other businesses in the area, the Shack owners have watched incredible growth and change over the past few years in the Leland area. “I’ve lived here 22 years,” says Sarah, “but when I did my
business plan in 2016, Brunswick County was number one in the state for population growth; I think it was in the top 10 in the nation!” Taking advantage of that growth curve, the Lookingbills are enjoying early success for their business. But they also recognize they need to give back to the community. “In the short time we’ve been open, we’ve done lots of community donations,” Sarah relates. “Brunswick County Literacy, Special Olympics, charity golf for Alzheimers, Brunswick Senior Resources . My husband is a huge baseball fan; he ran the baseball league at Carolina Beach. We sponsor a baseball and softball team here in Leland. Obviously the community is what’s going to support us, so we need to show that same support back to them.” The Lookingbills also feel a commitment to ocean conservation efforts – after all, the ocean is the source for their product. They’ve signed on to the “Skip the Straw” initiative as part of the Ocean Conservancy program. “We don’t do any styrofoam or plastic; we use paper, which is more expensive,” Sarah relates. “We do a lot of things to make sure that we take care of the environment, especially the ocean, because that’s where our product comes from, and unless the ocean is okay, we won’t have fresh seafood.” Strong words, but true. Seafood lovers – and all of us – should take them seriously. Check out Shuckin’ Shack and support local seafood.

Health & Fitness Workout Without Pain
Tips for keeping in shape and injury-free STORY BY BRIAN TULLY, MS, EP-C
A
workout should be focused on making you stronger, relieving aches and pains, and in general help you to move and feel better all day long. Many times in an effort to achieve this we find ourselves with more aches and pains than we started with…or even worse…injured.
Leaving you sidelined for the weeks or months ahead. No one ever reached their goals sitting on thesideline. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Here are the elements I recommend that you include in your programming to diminish your odds of being injured by your workout.
PROGRESSION
(or regression when needed) When starting out, begin with the easiest version of a movement and gradually progress as the challenge diminishes. At first you may progress quite quickly, but don’t rush it. Allow your body the time to adapt and get proficient at engaging the correct muscles to stabilize and generatethe appropriate amount of force required to efficiently complete the movement. Just as important as knowing when to progress an exercise, you should know it is also ok to regress the exercise if the body is not able to keep up with the demand without compensating (cheating) tocomplete the movement. Be sure to track your progress during each workout, so you don’t end up doing the same exercise, with the same number of reps, and the same amount of weight for too long. When you can repeatedly meet your goal counts with ease for a specific exercise, this is when to increase the challenge to insure you keep moving towards your goals. If you have already reached your goals, and you love the exercise you are doing, you can simply maintain your program…as long as it is meeting all the other criteria outlined below.
BALANCED TRAINING
A good workout program should address balance. While being able to stand
up without feeling unstable is important… this is not the kind of balance I am specifically referring to here. What I am talking about is balance within your body’s joints and musculature. Your workout program should work all planes of motion; front to back, side to side, and rotational. Too often this aspect is neglected, causing imbalances of the musculature around the joint, forcing the body to have to compensate to function from a bad position. This compensation will ultimately lead to injury.
IDENTIFYING & TREATING IMBALANCES
While it is important for your workout to address all aspects of movement; it is also important to understand where your current imbalances exist. By performing self assessment tests or working with a professional, you can identify the areas of your body that are weak or under-active needing engagement and strengthening…and the areas of the body that are tight or over-active needing stretching or a proper recruitment pattern. This is how you make the workout more specific to you and your individual needs. After identifying these areas, you can insure your workout will not aggravate these imbalances further, but even better can actually improve these imbalances. Removing or lessening these imbalances will allow you to move more efficiently and with greater ease.
PROPER WARM-UP & COOLDOWN
While walking on the treadmill for 5 minutes may begin to warm up your core temperature, it really doesn’t do much to warm up the joints and muscles about to be worked. You should always consider
22 Leland Magazine /SEPTEMBER 2018 / www.LelandMag.com
the workout about to happen and your personal imbalances in these areas. A good warm-up will begin to engage the muscles and mobilize the joints about to be worked. In the same fashion, your cooldown should begin to flush the blood back out of the muscles worked to allow fresh restorative blood to flow back in. With the muscles still warm from the workout, the cool-down is also a great time to work on stretching to increase range of motion in your over-active (tight) muscles.
FORM & EXECUTION OF EXERCISES
To get the most out of each exercise it is important to understand the purpose of the exercise, how is it helping your particular needs. Don’t just include an exercise you saw on YouTube or Instagram because it looked cool, or because you want to look like the person performing the exercise. To insure the proper execution, you should understand what muscles are being engaged to execute the movement; you should know where you should feel it and equally important, where you should not feel it. To fully understand the execution of the exercise; you should know the proper starting position and end position of the movement. This will insure proper muscle recruitment, stabilization, and control. It is important to listen to your body during the exercise, you want to challenge the appropriate muscles not hurt the joint. If you are feeling pain in a joint, most likely your form is off or you need to select a different exercise for your specific needs.
RECOVERY
Last but not least, the time spent recovering from your workout is when the body adapts to the demand of the exercise program. Without the necessary recovery time to get stronger, the body will likely keep getting further broken down. To allow this recovery and strengthening to occur, you need to get quality sleep, the necessary nutritional building blocks, proper hydration, and enough recovery time before excessively challenging the same muscles again. The real progress is made between the workouts, not during. A good way to check if you are allowing for adequate recovery is to look at your workout tracking discussed earlier in the article. The next time you perform your workout, check that you are able to meet or exceed your last performance. If the answer is no, you may not have allowed your body the appropriate recovery needed. Consideration and implementation of each of the above elements will greatly reduce your chances of injury from your workout. Actually if implemented correctly and consistently, this approach will not only decrease your odds of injury during your workout, but in every day life as well.

Art Beat Growing Natives
Mari Yamashita de Moya showcases her botanical illustrations at the LCAC STORY BY AMI BROWN
I
f you have not been to the Leland Cultural Art Center, it definitely needs to be on your TO DO list. This month it’s all about botanicals, florals and gardens. Mari is not just a talented illustrator, but she’s also a quilter, potter, painter, gardener and craftsperson engaged in lifelong learning and sharing. Mari’s illustrations are colorful, full of soft colors and detail. Her art is definitely one to see this month. Her show runs through the end of September. Make sure to come to the reception on Sept. 13, 6-8pm at the Leland Cultural Art Center, 1212 Magnolia Village Way in Leland.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Mari Yamashita de Moya “Sometimes, an agitated toddler can be calmed and distracted by placing a chubby crayon in their hand and a piece of paper in front of them. Perhaps it was a trick that worked well for my parents to keep me occupied early on and has persisted. I still use the paint box and drafting table my parents gave me over fifty years ago to support my role as adolescent artist. Making a mark on paper or canvas is empowering and fascinating, and continues to be a calming and completely enveloping pursuit for me. Whether it is attempting to capture a velvety petal or a bug-eaten leaf, I find plant matter endlessly enticing to study and draw. Although my garden currently provides more than enough material to keep me busy painting year-round, every planting season I add new specimens. Would that the milkweed offer a haven for monarch butterfly eggs and the bee balm a drink of nectar for a honeybee.”
ON BOTANICAL ART AND ILLUSTRATION
Bright brush strokes marking sunlight dancing on a garden; soft watercolor washes depicting a vase of peonies- the subject matter of paintings such as these cast them in the realm of Floral Art. Artists capture high notes of seasonal plants in classical still life format, impressionist vis-
tas and layered collage. Artwork in which plants are depicted realistically, true to scale and form, but with a unique artist’s view, are categorized as Botanical Art. An artist’s accurate drawing of a plant that includes sufficient information for species identification, and that may also include cross sections and views of structure is a Botanical Illustration. Study and mastery of Botanical Illustration is enjoying a resurgence after generations of disregard. The introduction of photography for graphics in scientific journals and study guides was favored over pen-and-ink drawings and the muted chroma of antique prints. Thousands of detailed illustrations made by the artists and botanists from 17th century explorations have formed the core of Western botanical study, but plant evolution and discovery did not stop after these studies were cataloged. Horticulture continues to be a thriving field, with new species discovered and hybrids developed.
ARTIST’S INSPIRATION
Overcast skies and threat of rain sent me seeking diversion at the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill in October of 2014. A little calendar note in the newspaper listed a gallery show there titled “Following in the Bartram’s Footsteps” and I was curious to view the exhibit. This collection of botanical art and illustration was a traveling show compiled by the American Society of Botanical Artists. I was thrilled and completely surprised to see work by three artists I know;-Betsy Farr, a neighbor from decades before, Rhonda Nass, who conducted a colored pencil workshop I attended at Olbrich Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin, about 20 years ago, and Wendy Hollender. Wendy teaches botanical illustration in New York, Hawaii and Greece, and I had recently attended a lecture she gave on Kauai promoting “Foraging and Feasting,” a cookbook written by Dina Falconi and illustrated by Wendy. I was captivated by the breadth of style and design utilized by the artists in the show and seized by the desire to be able to produce intricate botanical studies of my own. I enrolled in the NCBG Certification in Botanical Art and Illustration and started class within days of viewing the show. The three year course consists of classes in basic scientific background, visual arts theory and design, and manipulation of various media, culminating with a gallery show with fellow graduates. I was awarded my certification in the summer of 2017, commuting from Leland to Chapel Hill for many months. I love to garden, and had the opportunity to design a backyard space when I
moved to Leland. Certification candidates were encouraged to select native North Carolina plants for class projects, so I planted many of these in my backyard after they had fulfilled their portrait sittings. I also selected plants that held promise for my lackadaisical habits as a gardener. My backyard provides a year ‘round supply of subject matter to observe, appreciate and reveal on paper. - Mari Y. de Moya, 2018

Kitchen Warm and Yummy
Three easy dishes, perfect for entertaining STORY AND PHOTOS BY CLAUDIA O’NEILL
W
ith autumn just around the corner it is time for us to prepare for the cooler, crisper weather, the changing of leaves, afternoon bonfires, Sunday night football, and my personal favorite, warmer weather comfort foods.
When I was growing up my mom would always make her notorious chicken chili recipe to kick off the start of the new season. The warmth of the chili would make me crave cooler weather and we would always end the night outside enjoying the heat of the fire. My parents were always great entertainers and hosting football parties was their specialty. As you may know it is difficult to cook for a large group of people, so my parents would always offer a variety of appetizers for our guests. Winter squash is taking the spotlight this season, holding the source of disease-fighting antioxidants rich in Vitamin A, B6, C, potassium, and fiber. So keep your guests happy with some healthy and delicious appetizers like the easy crispy buttercup squash poppers. And we cannot forget the desert! Blackberries are my favorite fruit and are extremely juicy and ready to be eaten in the month of September. Change things up with some blackberry cheesecake brownies to take your guests’ breath away.

40-minute preparation time. Ready in 1 hour. 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 15x10-inch baking pan with foil. Halve, seed, and peel squash. Cut half of the squash into 3-inch strips. Reserve the remaining squash for another use. 2. In one dish combine eggs and flour. In another dish stir together bread crumbs, cheese, and black pepper. Roll squash strips in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking pan. 3. Lightly coat tops of squash strips with cooking spray. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tender and golden. 4. For the sauce, remove ½ tsp. zest and squeeze 2 tsp. juice from lemon. In a small bowl combine lemon zest, 1 to 2 tsp. of the juice, and the next five ingredients (through ground chipotle pepper). If desired, sprinkle with additional chipotle pepper. 5. If desired, arrange squash poppers on a bed of arugula. Serve with sauce for dipping. BLACKBERRY CHEESECAKE BROWNIES INGREDIENTS: For the brownies
3/4 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 11 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt For the blackberry puree 6 oz. fresh or frozen blackberries 1/4 cup granulated white sugar 1/4 cup water For the cheesecake 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup greek yogurt 1 large egg (room temperature) 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Cook blackberry puree by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Use a whisk or spoon to help break down the blackberries. Once cooked, place a fine mesh strainer over a small bowl and, using a spatula, squeeze through all of the liquid and dispose of the solids. Let cool to room temperature. 2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Once combined, fold in cocoa powder and flour. Pour the brownie batter into the baking dish, spreading evenly to the edges. 3. Combine all cheesecake ingredients in a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Cream for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed. Pour over brownie batter, spreading evenly to the edges. Drizzle the blackberry puree on top of the cheesecake batter and swirl using a fork, knife, or toothpick. Try to swirl only into the cheesecake batter, not the brownie batter. 4. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake begins to turn golden and a knife inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean. Place in fridge and allow cooling for at least 2 hours but up to overnight. Cut into 9 large squares. Store brownies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
