Tips for Your Holiday Parties
By Ronald ScagliaJoseph Borbely, Director of Catering at
the Garden City Hotel, has been with thehotel for almost 29 years. As he preparesfor another season of holiday parties, onewould think that doing so would be rou-tine for him. However, he says quite theopposite.“The challenge is to show something
new and something different,” said Borbe-ly recently as the hotel was bustling in an-ticipation of the holiday season. “We con-stantly upgrade our menus.”Borbely said that the hotel is now serv-
ing lots of organic fruits and vegetables tomeet the desires of a more health con-scious society. However, for those whoprefer old-fashioned classics, Borbely saidthe hotel also prepares classic traditionssuch as roast goose, roast duck and stuffedsuckling pig.“We custom design every single occa-
sion for everybody’s liking,” said Borbely.Borbely said the hotel would be hosting
dozens of holiday parties again this year,some of which will even be held afterNew Year’s Day, for those who prefer atime that’s less busy and perhaps lessstressful and more enjoyable.“It’s wonderful to see the same folks,”
said Borbely.And just as he is preparing for holiday
parties, many others will be preparing tohost parties in their own homes. For thosewho will be hosting their own holiday par-ty, Borbely has some suggestions to helpmake it extra special. The first of these isto prepare what you can ahead of time.“Do as much as you can the night be-
fore so you can enjoy your company andnot be exhausted,” he said.Borbely said that it is very difficult for
hosts to keep all of the food warm whenpreparing it the day of the party while alsotrying to welcome guests and socialize.By preparing it ahead of time, the host hasthe opportunity to mingle with guests andenjoy more of the party.“You cannot carve it right and keep it
hot,” said Borbely of holiday party fare.In addition, Borbely says that warming
up the food will make it hotter, tastier andtherefore more enjoyable when served, es-pecially turkey that is reheated in its ownjuices which will be moist and tender.Furthermore, Borbely says that it can bedifficult for some to properly slice aturkey or roast right out of the oven whenall of the guests are watching and anx-iously waiting for dinner. By slicing thefood beforehand, it is more likely that thefood will be sliced properly. This will alsosave time during the party, which again al-lows more time to enjoy it.He also advises preparing a nice stuff-
ing ahead of time, which he describes as“a meal by itself.” In his stuffing, Borbelyuses pork, veal, beef, chestnuts, raisinsand giblets.A second suggestion from Borbely re-
gards the actual selection of food to beserved. He says that hosts don’t need totrouble themselves by preparing fancydishes which can be difficult to prepare asguests are much more receptive to plain,comfort foods.“I learned this from a famous restaurateur
when I did his daughter’s wedding many
years ago,” said Borbely. “I don’t want tointimidate my guests or educate them. Iwant to make them feel comfortable.He suggests going with items such as
roast beef, duck, goose, potatoes and car-rots. Additionally, he suggests stuffed redcabbage and champagne.Borbely’s third suggestion is to serve a
hot, spicy wine. He suggests a dry whitewine seasoned with cinnamon and sugar.“Good wine is a must,” said Borbely.
“Hot, spicy wine is a central European tra-dition. It’s very good this time of year.”Borbely said that another central Euro-
pean tradition is to serve guests freshroasted chestnuts and he recommends thathosts do so at their holiday parties. Borbe-ly said that in central Europe, it is just ascommon to see street vendors sellingroasted chestnuts, as it is to see vendorsselling hot dogs here in the United States.“Roasted, fresh chestnuts welcome your
guests,” said Borbely. “They warm yourguests up as they come in from the cold.”And for those who have the opportunity
to attend a party at the Garden City Hotel,Borbely says they will not be disappoint-ed. He says that the hotel offers wonderfulfood, ambience, service and music. Healso said that there are discounted ratesavailable for those who choose to attend aparty and stay overnight rather than travel-ing home after having too many cocktails.“The railroad is right across the street,”
said Borbely. “People can stay here andmake a weekend out of it. Roosevelt Fieldand Jones Beach are a few minutes away.”On New Year’s Eve, there will be a ball-
room gala featuring a ’40s style big band.Another party will be held in the Polo Din-ing Room featuring a jazz band, a five-course dinner and wine pairings. Borbelyalso advises that the nightclub is availablethroughout the holidays for private parties.
Joseph Borbely, director of catering at the Garden City Hotel, shared a number of tips for enter-taining at home over the holidays. Traditional comfort food and good wines are high on the list.

Precious Metals: Becoming a Popular, Sensible GiftBy Ronald Scaglia
“Silver and gold, silver and gold, every-one wishes for silver and gold.” If youhave ever seen the classic holiday special,Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, then youare probably familiar with this verse,which is part of a song that is sung by BurlIves. And while everyone was wishing forsilver and gold when Rudolph first aired in1964, the explosion in metal prices overthe past few years has made both silverand gold much-desired gifts today.As well as giving gold and silver jewel-
ry, another possible gift idea is to givegold and silver coins and bars. MichaelAlster, managing director of Eastern Nu-mismatics of Garden City, says that goldand silver can be a very sensible gift. Al-ster says that gold and silver coins helpthe recipient build savings and are morepractical than other traditional gifts.“It’s something of lasting value,” said
Alster. “After you use a gift card, it’sgone. When buying a piece of jewelry, themarkup is 200 percent on most jewelrypieces. The usual markup on a one-ouncegold coin is about 5 percent. It’s a way ofhelping young kids start to build wealth.”“It’s real substance,” said Ira Einhorn,
president of Coin Galleries of Oyster Bay.“You give money, it gets spent. It’s basi-cally worth nothing the second they spendthe money.”Both Alster and Einhorn said that gold
and silver coins are popular with grandpar-ents as gifts. Giving coins serves a dualpurpose. It allows grandparents to helptheir grandkids prepare for the future whilealso giving them a nice, shiny present.“We have people who did this 30 years
ago and today the kids have 30 to 40 goldpieces worth about $50,000,” said Ein-horn. “It was a great thing to do and
something that continues to happen.”“Every year we have grandparents who
buy their grandkids a one ounce piece ofgold in the hopes of putting away for theireducation,” said Alster. “We put it in a giftbox so it makes a nice presentation.”The value of gold and silver tends to in-
crease during weak economies, so thosewho invested in the metals during the pastdecade have realized huge gains. In No-vember of 1995, an ounce of gold costaround $388. As the economy was quitestrong in the late ’90s; it’s value decreasedto around $275 per ounce in November of2001. However, as the economy weak-ened, gold prices have soared with anounce of gold being worth about $625 in
2006 and almost $1,700 per ounce thisNovember. An ounce of silver currentlycosts about $39, a huge increase from itsprice of about $4.30 per ounce in Novem-ber 2001 and $12.80 per ounce in Novem-ber 2006. With the economy continuing tostruggle, Einhorn says that gold and silvercan be a way of preserving wealth if theeconomy falters again.“There’s so much negativity in terms of
the world’s financial situation,” said Einhorn.“China is stockpiling gold. Everyone is wor-ried about a coming depression and runawayinflation and gold is a hedge against this. Asthe economy weakens, gold prices soar.”When buying gold, Alster recommends
buying one-ounce coins if possible. He
says that the markup on an ounce of goldis less than it is on smaller quantities. Al-ster also said there is no sales tax on bul-lion coins that cost over $1,000 each. Forthose who do not want to spend that much,he said that American Gold Eagle Coinsare available in smaller denominations ofone-tenth of an ounce which currentlycosts about $200, one-quarter of an ouncewhich currently costs about $480, and onehalf of an ounce which currently costsabout $890. For those who prefer silver,Alster said the American Silver Eagle bul-lion coin is currently selling for about $39.Einhorn added the silver can also be pur-chased in bars with sizes of one ounce, tenounces and one hundred ounces available.

Open Ended Toys: The Holiday Gift That Keeps on GivingBy Colleen D. Multari, LMSW
When selecting toys as holiday gifts,consumers often consider the price, safetyand the child’s age. Another importantand often overlooked consideration relatesto the kind of play that can result from thetoy. Give children a toy and they will play.The quality of the play is what truly mat-ters and this is most directly correlated tohow simple or complex the toy is.Complex toys result in play that re-
quires a specific task to make it work. Forexample, pushing a button on a toy willmake it play a song for you. The play ismore straightforward and simple with playdirected by the toy. While the toy will befun and enjoyable for a period of time, thetoy rather than the child’s creativity willlimit the play. The learning that resultsfrom the toy relates only to cause and ef-fect. Closed-ended, toy-directed play doesnot allow for creative exploration or imag-inative play and it also limits a child’sability to problem solve.Surprisingly, simple toys offer more
play opportunities to children than com-plex toys. Simple, basic toys such asblocks, dollhouses and craft supplies havemultiple purposes. Children’s play is up totheir moods and creative interpretation.For example, give a child wooden blocksand they can use them as a musical instru-ment or they can use them to build a toweror a road. Simple toys with multiple usesallow children to be in charge of the re-sulting play. Children can create a purposefor the toy and use it as they wish. Open-ended toys result in open-ended play. Thistype of play can continue and grow overtime while also encouraging children to becreative, imaginative problem solverswhile exploring the world around them.Open-ended play with peers encourages
social development and social interactionwhile also developing cognitive skills.The social and developmental gains madeby open-ended play far exceed those madeby directed play.Another advantage to open-ended toys: in
the long run, they are cost effective. Al-though this may impress the giver ratherthan the receiver, it’s an important consider-ation. Open-ended toys such as a set ofblocks, a doll or a toy truck will accompanyyour child over the years as they learn, growand play. When children dictate play, it canconstantly be reinvented and the play canbecome more creative and complex. In turn,the learning also becomes more complex.Building and knocking down a small blocktower at age two can teach a child shapeswhile helping them develop fine motor
skills and dexterity. Building and knockingdown a large block tower at age 4 teaches achild math and science skills, persistence,hand-eye coordination and encourages themto work cooperatively while problem solv-ing. Investing in a sturdy, high quality,open-ended toy may cost a bit more initiallybut it will last longer and grow as your childgrows. The fun of open-ended toys does notdiminish over the years; the play is simplyreinvented by children.It’s important to note that some of the
best open-ended toys are recycled itemsfrom the home such as paper towel rolls,toilet paper tubes, cardboard boxes,beans, fabric scraps and other day-to-dayhousehold items. Give your child a treas-ure chest of items and pair it with the bestgift of all: time spent together. Build a
castle, make instruments and start a fami-ly band or make binoculars out of papertubes and go on a nature walk. Your chil-dren will use their imaginations, work co-operatively with you and most of all, en-joy your time together.When searching for the perfect holiday
gift in your price range, ensure that the toyis safe and age appropriate. Once that isestablished, evaluate the potential playand remember that the more ways a childcan play with a toy, the more they willlearn. Allow children to learn throughplay. Open-ended toys encourage learningover the years; they truly are the gifts thatkeep on giving!Colleen Multari is the Director of Early
Learning at The Early Years Institute inPlainview. Their website is www.eyi.org.
Simple, basic toys such as blocks, dollhouses and craft supplies have multiple purposes and are adaptable to childrens’ interpretation.

Miniature Meatball PaniniLucinda’s Rustic Italian KitchenMakes 8 to 10 appetizer servings (56
pieces)My non-Italian mom made these for us
every Christmas, so I think of them asRose’s sandwiches. She served them asappetizers and we used to eat them likepeanuts. When I referred to them asRose’s Mini Meatball Sandwiches on tele-vision, my Italian father phoned to say,rather indignantly, “Those are your grand-mother’s sandwiches.” But, it was momwho made them a family staple for ourgeneration. Bake the crust-off crusts sepa-rately for delicious chef’s treat. You canprepare, bake, cool, freeze and then storethem in an airtight plastic bag. Just thawand reheat at 325 degrees for 12 minutes.1 loaf thin-sliced white bread, such as
Pepperidge Farm2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil1 pound ground pork, or a combination
beef and pork1 large egg1/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf
parsley
1 clove garlic1/2 teaspoon dried oregano1/2 teaspoon dried thyme1/4 teaspoon coarse saltFreshly ground black pepper8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,
softened to room temperature• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.• In a food processor or blender, process
the ends of the loaf of bread to finecrumbs, about 1/2 cup. Set the remainingbread aside.• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil,
meat, egg, cheese, parsley, garlic, oregano,thyme, salt, pepper, and breads crumbs.Mix with your hands to combine well.• Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch balls
and reserve on a baking sheet. Lay 2 slicesof bread on work surface. Butter one side ofeach piece. Place 4 meatballs on the but-tered surface of the slice of bread. Top witha second slice of bread, buttered side down,and press firmly to adhere. Use a serratedknife to cut the crusts from the bread. Bakethe crusts separately for a “chef’s treat.” Cutthe sandwich into 4 equal squares. Transferto a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet.Repeat with the remaining meatballs andbread. This process can be assembly-linestyle, lining up slices of buttered bread andassembling a number at a time. Prepare 2baking sheets at a time if possible.• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until
golden brown. Repeat, if necessary, untilall sandwiches are cooked. Remove fromthe pan and cool. Serve slightly warm.
Peas and Pearl Onions(MSL Magazine)Serves 8 to 10A handful of fresh mint brightens peas
and pearl onions, making this dish an ide-al side for a rich meal.
10 ounces red pearl onionsCoarse salt1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) unsalted butter2 tablespoons water2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen pe-
tite green peas1/2 cup small fresh mint leavesCut an X in stem end of each onion.
Cook in salted boiling water for 1 to 2minutes. Drain, and peel.Heat butter and water in a pan over
medium-high heat. Add onions, and cookfor 4 minutes. Stir in peas and 3/4 tea-spoon salt, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir inmint. Serve immediately.

Yorkshire Pudding(MSL Magazine)Serves 12A roast beef in Britain isn’t quite com-
plete unless it’s served with a golden-brown Yorkshire pudding. Something of across between a popover and a souffle(and not at all like any of the usual assort-ed foods that Americans and Britons callpudding), Yorkshire pudding is madefrom a basic batter of eggs, milk, andflour. This recipe is brought to us by chefAnne Willan, who recommends using pandrippings from the roast beef to impart anadded flavor to this airy accompaniment.2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon coarse saltFreshly ground pepper4 large eggs3 to 3 1/2 cups whole milk6 to 8 tablespoons drippings from roast-
ing pan, vegetable oil, or lardIn a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and
pepper. Make a well in the center, and addeggs and 1/4 of the milk. Using a whisk,combine eggs and milk, then incorporateflour; begin with the inner rim of the well.Continue whisking until a smooth, stiffbatter forms. Stir in half of the remainingmilk. Cover with plastic wrap and letstand at room temperature for 30 minutes.Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place 12 3/4-
cup capacity muffin tins in oven until veryhot, about 5 minutes.Stir enough of the remaining milk into
the batter until it is the consistency ofheavy cream. Transfer 1 to 2 teaspoons ofdrippings into each muffin tin. Pour batterin the muffin tins, filling them about one-third full; the batter should sizzle in thehot drippings. Return to oven and bakeuntil puffed, browned, and crisp, 25 to 30minutes. Yorkshire pudding is best servedfresh from the oven, but it can be keptwarm in a low oven for about 15 minutes.
Christmas Trifle withPeaches, Lemon Curd andRaspberry Whipped CreamIngredients:3 pints raspberries1 quart heavy cream½ cup granulated sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1 large or 2 small store bought pound
cakes, cut into 1 inch pieces2 cups lemon curd24 oz frozen sliced peaches, thawedMethod:• In a food processor, puree 1 pint of
raspberries and strain through a fine meshsieve, discarding the pulp.• Whip heavy cream and slowly add
sugar until the cream is silken. Add vanil-la extract and raspberry puree and contin-ue whipping, just until combined and softpeaks form.• Layer half of the pound cake in the
bottom of a large trifle dish. Spread halfof the lemon curd over the pound cake.• Top the lemon curd with half of the
peaches and one pint of raspberries. Dol-lop half of the whipped cream over thefruit and spread gently.• Repeat layers, reserving a few peaches
and raspberries for garnish• Chill in the refrigerator until ready to
serve.
Horseradish Cream(MSL Magazine)Makes about 1 1/4 cupsNo roast beef is complete without a
tangy, spicy horseradish sauce to cutthrough its deep flavor.1 cup sour cream (8 ounces)6 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish2 tablespoons white vinegar1 teaspoon coarse saltWhisk all the ingredients together in a
medium bowl. Cover, and refrigerate forup to one day. Stir before serving.

516-986-1422Look at your blinds…Over the years, your blinds and window treatments act like filters, absorbing dust, dirt, pollen, mold, grease, nicotine, stains and even the oil from your hands on the pull cords. Spills, splashes and water leaks are also common contributors to stained or discolored blinds. Insects sometimes crawl in and die. Dusting them by yourself just creates static electricity which attracts even more dirt. Our Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning removes it all.
