Event Recaps
Recycling Event
Huge shout out to all the Sterling on the Lake residents that participated in the recycling event this year! We had the largest turn out to date!
New Life Technology Group took in almost 10,000 pounds of e-waste that now won’t be hitting the landfills. They also took in dozens of laptops to support our Computers to Kids program!
Atlanta Paint Disposal collected over 555 gallons of paint!
Document Destruction Services shredded a truck and a half of paper!
Hall County Animal Shelter collected THREE carloads of supplies including towels, toys, sheets, blankets, food, and treats!
AMVETS collected two truckloads of supplies for the American Veterans.
Sterling on the Lake would not have been able to put on this event with Boy Scouts Troop #130. If you donated during the event, then you know how hard the boy scouts were working to make sure residents could stay in their cars as the young men unloaded them. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TROOP #130!
Cub Scouts
Be a part of Scouting! Your kids will have a blast while learning valuable life skills based on citizenship and community service, science, sports, first aid, hiking, nature, and much more! Contact Ryan Hawk, a Sterling resident, at pack151cubmaster@gmail.com for more information about our great group.
Toss some shrimp on the grill!
Cooking meals over an open flame imparts a unique flavor to various foods, and shrimp is no exception. Grilled seafood can be a perfect light alternative to grilled meats, which can be filling, something many people prefer to avoid when the weather is especially warm. The following recipe for “Grilled Garlic Shrimp with a Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce” from Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey Publishing) provides a less filling but delicious alternative to more traditional backyard barbecue fare.
For the marinated shrimp 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 garlic cloves, minced 36 large shrimp, peeled and deveined 12 6-inch wooden skewers
For the tomato sauce 3 pounds assorted large heirloom tomatoes 1 small sweet onion, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon honey, preferably sourwood honey 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips (chiffonade is the formal name for this cut), plus more for garnish Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions 1. To marinate the shrimp, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the shrimp and allow to sit, covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
2. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. 3. To make the tomato sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place one or two tomatoes at a time into the boiling water. Watch them and, as you see the skin split, remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cool water. At this point, it will be very easy to slip off the skins. 4. Cut the peeled tomatoes into a small dice. Put the cut tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Stir gently to combine. 5. Skewer the shrimp, 3 per skewer. Grill the skewered shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are pink. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and a couple grinds of fresh pepper. 6. Just before serving, add the basil leaves to the tomato sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. 7. Ladle the tomato sauce onto a serving platter and arrange the skewers on top of the sauce. Garnish with more basil leaves and enjoy!
