Village Cup Regatta raises more than $100,000 during annual race BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The 12th annual Village Cup Regatta, a friendly competition between Mather Hospital and the Village of Port Jefferson, set sail Saturday on the Long Island Sound all for a good cause.

Presented by the Port Jefferson Yacht Club, the Regatta raised funds for Mather’s Palliative Medicine Program and the Lustgarten Foundation, which funds pancreatic cancer research. During the event, held on Sept. 11, the Regatta honored all those who perished in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the first responders

who answered the call, while members of the hospital and village helped crew boats. The race had three classes based on boat size, and this year, the village won. $104,000 was raised and divided between both the Palliative Medicine Program and the Lustgarten Foundation. Actor, director and local resident Ralph Macchio was again community ambassador

for the event. Macchio has helped to publicize the important work of the two programs funded by the Regatta for the last nine years. Macchio’s wife, Phyllis, is a nurse practitioner in Mather’s Palliative Medicine Program.

Port Jeff Fire Department hosts 9/11 memorial

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Dozens of people came together to remember September 11, 2001 last week during the Port Jefferson Fire Department’s annual 9/11 memorial early Saturday morning. Port Jefferson firefighters, EMS and juniors lined up to salute three wreaths placed at the

foot of the monument, while the names of Town of Brookhaven first responders who perished during the attacks were read. A bell rang every time a name was said. Port Jefferson School District music teacher Christian Neubert and students Kasumi Layne-Stasik and Andrew Patterson paid tribute to those who lost their lives with several moving musical performances.

Hometown History

From Sound to Bay: Port Jefferson and the Cross Island Trolley BY KENNETH BRADY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson was not immune to the trolley fever that swept the United States during the late 19th century. Orange T. Fanning, Thomas O’Donnell, Charles E. Tooker and other prominent village businessmen met in 1895 and called for the construction of an electric trolley line that would cross Long Island from Port Jefferson on the Sound to Patchogue on the Great South Bay. According to its supporters, the proposed trolley would provide a connection with the Port Jefferson ferry that sailed to Bridgeport, Connecticut; increase tourism among daytrippers; and carry passengers from the Sound to the Bay in less than one hour. The project’s cheerleaders also claimed the trolley would enrich property owners along the line and improve transportation by intersecting with the LIRR’s stations at Patchogue, Waverly (Holtsville) and Port Jefferson. Seeing enormous profits in the trolley venture, parties from Long Island, New York City and Bridgeport organized the Patchogue and Port Jefferson Traction Company on Jan. 29, 1896. Port Jefferson Traction announced that its 14-mile trolley road would be finished and in operation by April 1, 1903, but several factors kept the project from moving ahead. Confronted by the high costs of equipment and materials, the corporation delayed work waiting for prices to fall. Word that New Haven, Connecticut, might run a steamboat to Port Jefferson and link with the trolley worried investors in Bridgeport who had backed Port Jefferson Traction’s scheme.

Arguments also arose over the trolley’s hours of operation, rate of speed, type of roadbed and method of power. The streetcar’s proponents quarreled over whether the line should be built from Patchogue to Port Jefferson or vice versa. Mired in endless trolley talk, Port Jefferson Traction was acquired by the Central Long Island Electric Light and Railroad Company. Chartered on Dec. 17, 1903, the new corporation amended the proposed Patchogue-Port Jefferson route to include a Setauket-Stony Brook branch line. The organization also sought to build a power plant in Port Jefferson and develop land in an envisioned “Jefferson Manor” section of Echo. Notwithstanding its glowing prospectus, Central Long Island never ran a streetcar in Port Jefferson, opening the door for the Suffolk Traction Company and its plans for a Cross Island trolley road. Incorporated on June 27, 1906, Suffolk Traction soon became embroiled in legal disputes with its competitors over franchises, the LIRR over grade crossings and property owners over condemnation proceedings. When the court battles finally ended and construction actually began, Suffolk Traction diverted resources that had been earmarked for Port Jefferson to expanding service on the South Shore. As a result, track was not laid along Port Jefferson’s Main Street (Route 25A) until 190913, but by then it was too late. Even discounting the years lost to inactivity and sporadic work, the trolley plan was already doomed in the village. Automobiles were revolutionizing travel, giving Long Islanders the freedom to explore the open road and making them less dependent on public transit. In addition, Suffolk Traction was facing competition from faster buses that carried passengers between Port Jefferson and

Patchogue on the “Auto Trolley Line.” While managing to run a battery-powered streetcar between Patchogue and Holtsville, a bankrupt Suffolk Traction ceased operations in 1919. Although the trolley never ran in Port Jefferson, the existing tracks were supplemented by temporary rails and used during World War I to move a self-propelled crane downhill from Port Jefferson’s LIRR station to Bayles Shipyard on the village’s waterfront. The rusting trolley tracks, viewed as a

nuisance by Port Jefferson’s motorists and pedestrians, were torn up as improvements were made along Route 25A, although rails were still visible at the foot of the village’s Main Street as late as September 1956. Kenneth Brady has served as the Port Jefferson Village Historian and president of the Port Jefferson Conservancy, as well as on the boards of the Suffolk County Historical Society, Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council and Port Jefferson Historical Society. He is a longtime resident of Port Jefferson.

Volunteers strive to keep habitats lush for pollinators BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Butterflies, bees and little birds. Those are the creatures that have been living throughout some of Port Jefferson village’s pollinator gardens and helping out the local environment. Earlier this summer, the village began receiving some complaints that certain gardens were overgrown — the most common one was a small garden outside of the Port Jefferson Village Center that is home to a pollinator and butterfly garden, with a large anchor front and center. Village gardener, Caran Markson, said she was injured and unfortunately was put on a medical leave. That’s when the village parks department decided to step in and help clean up the garden that some residents were saying was “getting out of hand.” When Markson found out, she was devastated. “I take it very personal,” she said. “We should be educating anyone who lives in the village or who visits the village about what the gardens can do.” A pollinator garden is a garden that is planted predominately with flowers that provide nectar or pollen for a range of pollinating insects. A pollinator garden can be any size and the village is home to many different ones. These gardens are full of plants that naturally

attract, feed and provide habitat for different wildlife, and help the local ecosystem — and ultimately the environment. “I had it on a national list through the Pollinator Partnership,” Markson said. “I leave signs about what they do.” Pollinator Partnership’s is a national nonprofit with the mission to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education and research. While Markson was gone, many of the plants were torn out. “I’m blown away,” she added. “I’m so upset.” When trustee Rebecca Kassay heard that the garden was cleaned up, she decided to create a task force of volunteers to take care of the pollinator gardens while Markson was away. An environmentalist herself, Kassay knows the importance of the flowers that line the roads of Port Jefferson. On Friday, Sept. 10, she and several other volunteers gathered behind the anchor garden at Harborfront Park to clean up the weeds but keep the specific flowers that are home to monarch butterflies and bees. “That’s part of the reason why it’s here, but it’s also here because it’s beautiful,” she said. “With our village gardener out on medical leave, she specializes in the maintenance of these types of gardens on our park staff. So, as someone who worked with these types of gardens for a decade

in my career, I’m very happy to step up and lead local enthusiasts.” Part of the volunteer program is to not only clean things up, but to also educate people who are interested in learning about the benefits of these plants. “This is a great opportunity for them to come down and learn about pollinator gardens, while making their village more beautiful at the same time,” Kassay said. The trustee added that the next several volunteer meetups will continue to “edit” other gardens. “The plants sort of grow as they want to, and our goal and responsibility as gardeners of a pollinator garden is to edit and make sure it’s aesthetically pleasing for folks who may or may not know the ecological value of the garden,” she said. While Markson appreciates the help while she’s absent, she’s still upset that the anchor garden at the center of the roundabout has been changed. “It was a wonderful garden,” she said. “It’s a little too late.” Trustee Kathianne Snaden, who spearheads the village’s beautification efforts, said there will be other initiatives to spruce up the village. “Our end goal is to clean up and plant more colorful flowers, especially uptown,” she said. Snaden added that Upper Port has been neglected “for too long,” and “a lot can be done in the short term.” As development begins with the new apartments

there, she decided to add stone or cement planters to overfill with flowers. During the holidays, they will add more Christmas decorations as well. “There’s no better way to help businesses and have developers come in than to make it look more beautiful now with color,” she said. Snaden added another initiative is to create a children’s garden soon, filled with flowers that were purchased this week from the elementary school PTA’s flower bulb sale. Both the children’s garden and uptown planters are expected to start up soon. Interested pollinator gardeners can email Kassay at trustee-kassay@portjeff.com to RSVP for the next cleanup opportunities on Sunday, Sept. 26, at Harborfront Park from 2-5 p.m., and on Oct. 17 at the triangle garden at High Street and Spring Street.

Wildcats blow out Royals in season opener BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Shoreham-Wading River running back Max Barone was a one-man wrecking crew as the senior powered his way in to the endzone five times in the Wildcats season opener 42-7 victory at Port Jefferson in a league IV matchup Sept 11. The Royals struggled to find traction until late in the 3rd quarter when senior line-backer John Sheils recovered a Wildcat fumble and punched in for the Royals’ lone touchdown on the day. Port Jeff senior Kyle Yannucci’s kick

was good to trail 35-7. Will Hart, the freshman running-back for the Wildcats, found the end-zone midway through the 4th quarter and Ryan Farron’s foot drilled the uprights for the final score. Farron was perfect on the day nailing all six extra points. The Royals look to regroup when they retake the field in a road game against Greenport/ Southold/Mattituck Sept 17. Kick is at 6 p.m. The Wildcats are back in action at home to take on Miller Place Sept 18 with a 1 p.m. start. — Photos by Bill Landon

Laura (2020), Dorian (2019), Florence (2018), Harvey (2017) and Matthew (2016) seem to happen so much more frequently. Scientists are continuing to try to “quantify the impact” of how the characteristics of an event might have changed because of a warmer climate, Reed said. Research has been evolving to address society’s most pressing and urgent questions. Indeed, climate change can and likely has contributed to heavier snowfall events, despite the broader trend towards warmer temperatures. Some scientists have linked the melting of Arctic ice to the weakening of the polar vortex, enabling colder air to come south toward the continental United States and, in particular, the Eastern Seaboard. The impacts from climate change are “going to get larger and more significant,” Reed said. “We have an opportunity to mitigate that. If we reduce our emissions the world will warm by half a degree to a degree. That still is offsetting potentially disastrous impacts of going beyond that.” Recognizing the impact of climate change is a necessary step in reducing the likelihood of future extreme and variable weather events. The kind of changes necessary for a sustainable future “takes leadership at the national and international level,” Reed said.

JOHN GRIFFIN

With Hurricane Ida taking lives and causing destruction from Louisiana to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, some scientists see longer term patterns reflected in the power and destruction of this storm. Kevin Reed, associate professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University, said a group of experts on the topic are working on research related to the climate impacts on Ida. No specific timeline is set for such an analysis, which would be similar to what the World Weather Attribution initiative is doing. “It’s more and more clear that there’s some connection” between a warmer climate and more severe storms,” Reed said. The sooner scientists can make that link, the “more impactful and useful” any such statements or determinations could be. While Reed hasn’t done any formal research yet on Ida, he has considered some of the specific aspects of this storm. Rainfall rates of over 3 inches per hour, which set a record in Central Park, are “what you would expect in terms of climate impact.” Previous modeling work indicates that increasing global temperatures raise the likelihood of extreme rainfall. Reed hopes researchers can build methodologies and refine their approaches to apply what they know about climate to severe weather events like Ida, which command attention as they approach, once they make landfall and, in their aftermath, as cities and states rebuild. What’s clear from some of the work he’s done is that “climate change is not a longoff problem, it’s already changing storms” in terms of the amount and intensity of rainfall. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report emphasized that climate change is increasing the rainfall from storms. Reed suggested it would help in terms of prevention and planning to develop ways to refine the understanding of the link between climate change and storms. Researchers should “produce this type of information, almost at the same frequency as weather forecasts.” Larger storms have become a topic on people’s minds in part because disruptive weather events like hurricanes Ida (2021),

Holly Signoretti picks out a book at the Book Revue in Huntington village. Photo by Kimberly Brown

Ode to Book Revue

People are continuously told that change is inevitable but sometimes those changes can hit a human right in the heart, especially if it involves a goodbye. Many residents along the North Shore of Suffolk County and surrounding areas were saddened to hear of the closing of Book Revue in Huntington Sept. 10. After more than 40 years of being the go-to place for book lovers, like many other businesses, the owner struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic. The store had to shut down for three months during the pandemic, and once the owner reopened the doors, the Book Revue struggled to get back on its feet. Despite talking with the building landlord to come to a compromise, in the end the back rent was impossible to pay back, and it was initially announced last month that the store would close Sept. 30. With inventory starting to thin out, the store was closed Sept. 9 for employees to organize the shelves, and on Sept. 10 people were invited to come in and take books for free. By the afternoon, the store was cleaned out and Book Revue doors were closed for business permanently. Its owner Richard Klein posted on Facebook that while the store was now closed to the public, he would be in touch soon. Customers hope so. Not only was Book Revue the place to go to pick up some literature, but it was also a social center. Many residents remember going to the store as a child or a parent to enjoy Toddler Time with stories, live music and dancing. There were groups to discuss favorite reads, and celebrity book signings with authors such as Alan Alda, Hillary Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, Clinton Kelly and more. The store also offered a diverse selection of books with extensive arts and music sections as well as a section dedicated to local subjects written by Long Island authors. More than a place to shop or socialize, the Book Revue also drew people to Huntington village. When people come to shop at an iconic store, they usually will stay a while in the area and stop by other shops or get a bite to eat. The closing of such a business could lead to a domino effect in the village. Our communities need more independent book stores like this former Huntington staple, ones that flourish and elevate the quality of life in a village. It’s a shame that the landlord and Klein couldn’t come to an agreement. However, the community will be forever grateful to Richard and his brother Bob, who retired from the business earlier last year, for their service to the community and providing years of happiness to Long Islanders.

The family unit has very successfully, for many generations, taken the lead teaching their children the importance of living a virtuous life. Moms, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles have taught the importance of eliminating unfair policies and biased practices based on race, gender, religion, ability or sexuality. Those critical “golden rule” lessons have come courtesy of real-life examples, in both words and deeds, from our family elders. They talked the talk and walked the walk. The results over the last 60 years have been remarkable. We’ve gone from a segregated Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, to Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech, to historic civil rights legislation. Some 50 years after our capital city was stained by segregation, former President Barack Obama [D] was serving the first of two terms in the White House. It’s hard to imagine that kind of dramatic, positive change could have taken place without many millions of families, over multiple generations, actively promoting a sense of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” fairness. We’ve had some of the same parental concerns regarding Three Village Central School District students essentially being unprepared to enter a multiracial world. So, I’d like to offer some suggestions that have proven very successful and, more importantly, can make material differences in the lives of minority kids. Have students of all ages sort through books that might be enjoyable reading for minority youngsters in other districts. Collect and donate them. Ask for volunteers to do tutoring. Groups focusing on reading and writing could be formed. The benchmark I used when teaching at risk, individualized education programs (IEP) kids was they

reach a functional literacy level. That basically allowed them to read interesting articles, which encouraged them to read more. Students sharp in math and science could work with out-of-district children lagging in those areas. Whether it’s reading, writing or STEM subjects I would stress not to treat pupils as victims. Barring developmental or neurological issues, hold high expectations for all. Moms and dads can set the ultimate example by registering to become foster parents. Suffolk County is starving for good homes to place boys and girls of all ages. The process, with paperwork, screening and home visits, may take up to eight months, but can be extremely rewarding. In all likelihood you’d not only be giving that child an education upgrade but introducing your kin to a whole new universe. If you’re truly looking to prepare TVSCD children for a different kind of world after graduation, give them a preview by introducing them to real life experiences in that world. They’ll also be improving the lives of those they’ve touched. It’s a win-win situation. Jim Soviero East Setauket

Happy 111th anniversary to the East River Tunnels

On Sept. 8, 1910, there was a celebration for the first day of direct Long Island Rail Road service to Penn Station. This was a great day for transportation history. Prior to this, LIRR riders had to transfer to ferries from Long Island City to access Manhattan. The date represents the 111th anniversary of direct LIRR service from Queens, Nassau or Suffolk County to Manhattan. Fast forward to 2021. Ongoing cancellation and combining of trains due to signal and other problems in the East River Tunnels, along with other locations on all nine branches of the LIRR system

will continue for years to come. Amtrak will not initiate decades overdue major repairs of the East River Tunnels until 2025 — two years after East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal begins. They will be 117 years old. This work on all four tunnels, including two that suffered significant damages from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, may not be completed until 2029. Amtrak has previously gone on record that these two tunnels will require a minimum of one year each for completion. It will require one of two tunnels damaged by Sandy being out of service at a time for one year to support this work. The other two tunnels will need similar work. With only three of four tunnels available, there will be a reduction in Penn Station access and capacity. To preserve existing service, many LIRR rush hour trains will be canceled or combined. Until this work is over, it will be impossible to guarantee safe and reliable on time service to Penn Station for LIRR commuters. Reduced East River Tunnels capacity may also make it very difficult to add new services previously promised by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D]. This includes East Bronx Metro-North New Haven line access to Penn Station, increased Port Washington branch service to support the LaGuardia AirTrain via MetsWillets Point Station, new Elmont Station service to support the Islanders Belmont Park arena and 50% overall increase in reverse peak service after opening of East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal. Both Amtrak and NJ Transit need access to the Queens Sunnyside Yard via the East River Tunnels to support their own respective planned service increases. Going from four to three available tunnels results in a significant capacity reduction. This translates to no increase in existing or new services until work on all four East River Tunnels is completed by 2029. Larry Penner Great Neck

Opinion On second thought, I will take that senior discount

oe, the gentleman at the supermarket register, asked me the routine questions. “Did you find everything okay?” “Do you have a rewards number?” I nodded and typed in my cell phone number. At the end of the order, I carefully watched the total, waiting for the moment he asked me whether I wanted to donate a dollar or round up my total. Instead, it looked D. None like the cost declined, even after applying all of the above the discounts. In order BY DANIEL DUNAIEF to be sure, I had to remove my glasses, which allow me to see at a distance, but not to read. Yes, the total decreased by 5%. Just as I was about to thank him, I went slack jawed

behind my mask. Staring closely at the total in the register, I realized he had given me the senior discount. I pondered what to do. I could tell him I’m not a senior. Then again, maybe anyone over 35 was a senior. Okay, fine, 40. Alright, 50. Anyway, I thanked him for ringing me up, told him to stay safe and headed to the car, where I promptly checked the age for a senior discount at my supermarket. Yup, just as I suspected. He gave me the discount well before I was eligible. As I loaded the groceries in the car, I wondered whether this was a freakout midlife crisis moment. Maybe this was the universe’s way, through Joe, of reminding me that I’m not a kid anymore. Then again, I thought, steadying myself behind the wheel, maybe Joe had just typed that senior discount button by mistake. Maybe he felt generous or, perhaps, he was giving everyone a senior discount, just to stick it to his bosses. I have an image of myself that doesn’t

align with what other people see, or even what I notice in the mirror. Somewhere along the lines, my brain imagined that the younger, fresher, more energetic version of me continued to type on my computer, yell at the TV when the Yankees lost, and maneuver through my life. My body, and the unwelcome hair that seems to wave from my ears, has offered reminders about the passage of time. Recently, my son, who is still waiting for his freshman year to start in earnest after New Orleans recovers from Hurricane Ida, asked me if I wanted to have a catch. Excited for some father-son bonding that doesn’t involve electronics, I readily agreed. Besides, it’s been a few years since he asked. I am no longer his coach and he has numerous athletic friends and former teammates who can launch balls across a field. The first few throws felt comfortable, as my fingers reached for the familiar seams and tossed the ball back at his chest. “Okay, move back,” he instructed.

A few throws later, he asked me to move back again. “Wait, what?” my arm begged, to a brain that tried to hit the mute button on muscles, tendons, bones and rotator cuffs begging me to stop engaging in such unaccustomed activity. Pretty soon, he was throwing lasers from the next county and I was trying to figure out if I could strap the ball to a nearby bird to return it to him. Instead, I ran 20 steps, rotated my hips and snapped my shoulders in an effort to minimize the strain on my arm. “Good idea,” he yelled. “You should soft toss it back to me.” Soft toss? That was one of my hardest throws! Two days later, we repeated the same routine. The second time, my arm instantly hurt. I might imagine that I’m 25 or even 35, just as I might imagine I can fly. I can enjoy some consolation: the senior discount saved me enough money to buy an ice pack for my throbbing shoulder.

Some advice on how to live a saucy life

ere are some ways to spice up our lives. I’ve done this all my adult cooking life, and I recommend the concept. I have added store-bought sauces to otherwise bland foods, like eggs, chicken and some fish. Please read on as I explain. How did I happen upon this technique, you might wonder? It was a solution born of desperation over 50 years ago. I was to be married in two weeks, and my roommate at the time asked me what I was going to cook for my new husband the first night. Cook? I only knew how to boil water. It hadn’t occurred to me, although tradition Between at the time had it, that you and me I was to be the cook in BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF this pairing. When I panicked, she calmed me down by asking what my fiancé’s

favorite meal was. “Breaded veal cutlet,” I remembered, and for the next 10 days, at dinner, she tutored me on the fine art of making that, along with a salad of greens with store-bought dressing, and spaghetti with some bottled red sauce. I then sailed into marriage prepared and duly impressed my groom with my culinary skills. Soon enough, we came to the menu for the second night. Again panic. I had to sit down and figure this one out. I was working and didn’t have time to digest the thick book, “Joy of Cooking,” that some kind soul had given us as a wedding present — at least not yet. Prepared foods for takeout were not invented. There were Swanson frozen dinners, but that suggested I was really inadequate. What to do? I thought about how I had made that first meal. I used bottled dressing to flavor the salad and also bottled sauce for the spaghetti. I wondered what other sauces might be available on the supermarket shelves. That’s when I found duck sauce. Reading the label, I saw their suggested uses; one was with chicken. Inspired, I rushed to buy a whole chicken that I brought

back to our new apartment, poured all the duck sauce over it, and popped it into the oven at 375 degrees as instructed by the amused man behind the supermarket meat counter. I kept checking it, and when it looked like it was done, I served it, along with more salad. “Wow!” my new husband exclaimed. “I didn’t know you could cook!” I was launched. I will confess to having learned a few more things about cooking since then, including how to read a recipe, but my affection for bottled sauces continues to this day. To further my repertoire, I have gleaned the following information from a consumer publication called, “Bottom Line,” that has proven its value sufficiently to earn my ongoing subscription dollars. The article, written by Jay Weinstein, a member of the Institute of Culinary Education, is headlined, “Make Mundane Meals Instantly Exotic, with these international bottled sauces,” offers nine suggestions, and pretty much all of them appeal to me. First, there are some Asian possibilities: banana sauce, “the ketchup of the Philippines, … usually sweet, with subtle tropical flavors,” good on any foods from omelets to whatever

comes off the grill. Anther is gochujang, a dark red paste made of red chili peppers, rice powder and fermented soy beans — tangy, spicy, salty & slightly fruity — good added to eggs, noodles, dumplings or ham. Then there is kecap manis, “an excellent marinade or glaze for meat, seafood or vegetables.” Oyster sauce will add “an unmistakable Asian flavor” and will transform hamburger. Ponzu is tangy and bright and offers “a lively citrus note” to dishes. Thai peanut sauce is a particular favorite of mine. It is a good marinade, and I happen to like it on noodles. Then there are what the author classifies as European Sauces: aioli, “a Mediterranean mayonnaise with garlic … drizzled over vegetables or seafood”; ajvar (pronounced “ayevar”) of “roasted sweet red peppers, eggplant and … tomato.” Use atop baked potato, meatloaf and pasta or for potato salad; and Maggi seasoning, for noodles or roast chicken “or mix a little into soup.” There are lots more, but I think I should stop. While I probably have incurred the wrath of gourmet cooks, who make everything from scratch, perhaps I have helped some new brides … or grooms.
