[Highland Park] Food traditions
by Pierina Morelli 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hello Everyone I am looking for families or groups that have food traditions usually centered around holidays or other seasonal events or celebrations. Really it could be anytime. Ideally it would be a tradition involving several generations---ie: grandparents, parents and children--- or ethnic groups that meet to make a traditional food--- it could be special bread from Syria, or ravioli from Italy or stuffed cabbage or pierogies or sausage making--- any food making with family or group , rich in tradition, history and stories. (family photos and old movies would be great!) I welcome all suggestions and any "out of the box" leads---nothing is too crazy for me. And please--though I hate to disappoint---I will not be able to do everyone's idea. This would be for WQED's Experience program that airs on Monday evening at 7:30. Scheduled to air sometime in the Spring of 2013. (30 minutes) Thank you! Pierina Morelli Feel free to share this email with others.

"When walking, walk. When eating, eat." · Zen Proverb Can you believe we are already talking turkeys?? It's been said that the older you get, the faster time goes, and we are beginning to believe it! The holiday season opens up new opportunities for us to get creative, and to share ideas with each of you. This time of year gives us the opportunity to take in and appreciate the people we love, and of course, the food we love. So, dig in! On the cheese front: <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs142/1108583401734/img/18.jpg> New from Doe Run Dairy! Some amazing Jersey cow milk cheeses, full of flavor and body. Our favorites are Barn Owl, a soft ripened, washed rind cheese that has a rich, creamy texture and nutty flavor and Seven Sisters, a hard, aged cow milk cheese that is reminiscent of an Alpine Swiss, nutty with fruity notes on the finish. The River View Tomme is a very special goat milk cheese from River View Dairy. Aged over 60 days with a natural rind, the interior paste is dense and smooth, while the flavor is mild and slightly earthy. Try pairing this cheese with apples and pears or other tart fruit. The Brebis from Highland Sheep Dairy is one of the best fresh cheeses around. This creamy, decadent, spreadable sheep milk cheese is perfect paired with beets and braised greens or just simply on toast with honey! We are bringing in new cheeses each week. Our offerings change based on availability, each unique and, let's be honest, delicious! What's HOT TURKEYS! Thanksgiving means family, friends, thanks, and.....turkey! We are taking orders for Thanksgiving birds! Organic ($5.29/lb), free range ($3.69/lb) and heritage breeds ($8.99/lb) are available.

Did you know that we make the best cheese board in the 'Burgh? It's true. We will help you to choose a spread of cheeses that will satisfy all palates and appetites. Your order includes crusty sliced baguette, seasonal fruits and pairings, as well as a Wild Purveyors cheese board! Call or stop into the store to discuss details for your next event! MEAT CSA!

Ranging in price from $25 to $95, each package contains a delicious range of different types of meat each month. Each CSA share will include a recipe and tips on how to use the products in your share. Call or stop for details!! THANKSGIVING FIXINGS! Do you serve the same pairings with your turkey every year or do you seek out new recipes and ideas?? Whatever your method, we have a great variety of fixings for your bird! Mushrooms are a great addition to your stuffing (see recipe to right), pureed into a risotto or transformed into a delightful vegetarian gravy! We have a huge variety of potatoes, perfect mashing, roasting, stuffing or smashing. Braising greens are a perfect addition to a souffle, or on their own with some olive oil, pine nuts and shredded cheese. The possibilities with winter squash are truly endless, and we have a beautiful array of these in stock. (These guys look great as part of a table centerpiece until you are ready to eat them, too!) Beets are lovely roasted with other root veggies or tossed into a salad with goat cheese, walnuts and a light vinaigrette. And, don't forget the cheese!

We had the opportunity to spend time with students at the Student Sustainability 'Show and Tell' at Carnegie Mellon, where student groups displayed and discussed the Environmental and Sustainable projects they have been working on. We were also lucky enough to attend a lecture by Melinda Hemmelgarn on food and the media, which explored the factors that affect our good food choices and food literacy. After the talk - we all ate more Wild Purveyors Cheese!! We were also thrilled to share our knowledge and passion with local University students at Pitt through tasting, talking and sharing ideas at the William Pitt Union! A big thanks to all of the students we spoke to--keep your ideas coming!!

Zineb Outnouna, CEO and Founder Atlas Dreams Languages, LLC 412-537-1525 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FRENCH IMMERSION INSTITUTE 2012 Zineb Outnouna Keynote Speaker! On October 20th, 2012 our CEO, Zineb Outnouna, was the keynote speaker at the University of Pittsburgh. Her talk was part of the FRENCH IMMERSION INSTITUTE 2012, sponsored and hosted by the European Union Center of Excellence & European Studies Center. Her lecture, about the Evolution of the Moroccan Woman, was conducted in French as it was designed for French instructors and advanced level college students. The intent was to broaden their cultural understanding of current events and international studies regarding French-speaking countries. Another goal was to strengthen their French listening and speaking skills. A third benefit was to share strategies for the teaching of French language and culture. The event was a great success. Ms. Outnouna received much praise from the participants. We are proud to share with you a few of their comments : * "I learned a lot about a Francophone country and the challenges for its underprivileged female class." * "Her presentation included many examples of how Moroccan women are being liberated. Her pictures were a great reinforcement." * "Great culture information, facts and visuals to share with my students; the presenter's real life experiences and knowledge enhanced the presentation." * "Ms. Outnouna explained issues very clearly; I'll be able to replicate the presentation for my students." >From left to right: CarolSchneider, a professor atFranklinRegionalHS.

Jean Dominique Legarrec,French Consul inPittsburgh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WE HAVE ADDED MORE LANGUAGES! Mandarin Chinese Mandarin Chinese is one of the important languages in the world. It is the standard language for a quarter of the world's population. Learning Mandarin Chinese will open doors of communication with over one billion people! If this is not a good enough reason to start learning today, consider the fact that China has the fastest growing major economy in the World. With an impressive rate, Chinese is becoming the future language for business. Just as learning English was necessary to infiltrate the American markets, Mandarin Chinese will eventually rise to that level and be the language of choice for future generations. Russian Did you know that despite the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian is still one of the most important languages culturally and in business? Russian is the primary language for over 150 million citizens and over 30 million people living in the states which were formed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Russia has the largest new sources of natural gas and petroleum and is positioned as Europe's energy leader. Learning Russian can open the door of employment in any field related to energy. Becoming fluent in Russian also creates an advantage in the growing markets of the former Soviet Union. German German has gained much power in the recent years thanks to the economic strength of German-speaking countries. It is no wonder that 68% of Japanese students study German. They understand that this economic power could only translate to more business opportunities. German firms with US operations such as BMW, Daimler, Siemens, Lufthansa, SAP, Bosch would choose someone with German literacy over an equally qualified candidate. Thus, Americans who speak German would have a greater advantage in landing a position with one these reputable companies.
