HolidayHoliday Movies
By Miles X. Logan
The Good, The Bad, The UglyThe good news is there are some
interesting films set to be released during the holiday season. The bad news is there are very few holiday-themed movies. In other words, don’t expect Miracle On 34th Street. Hell, we’ll be lucky if we get a Bad Santa.
The Penguins Of Madagascar, due to be released this week, is an animated feature that needs no introduction. In this episode the penguins take on an evil villain hellbent on destroying the world, but then again, fans already know that. The fun is in the watching, and the kids will love it. Save if for the Saturday before Christmas when you really need them out of the house for the day.
On the other side of the spectrum we have Monsters: Dark Continent, a sequel that sends more good men into the Infected Zone to fight hideously ugly creatures.
Oh wait, here‘s a Ho Ho Ho Jolly Christmas themed movie: the tagline is
“The month of December is pretty dry until the Christmas Day flood.” Ok, we didn’t know that but the guess is we’ll find out. Don’t expect to see Wet Santa; do expect gruesome monsters in the catacombs of the pyramids hunting down the good guys – archeologists.
Pyramid is released in early December.We heard all about it at the Hamptons
International Film Festival – now see Wild for a third of the price. This is Reese Witherspoon Oscar hunting as a woman making an 1100-mile hunt to try and forget her troubled past. The director, Jean-Marc Vallée, scored with Dallas Buyers Club last year.
It’s been a long time since we had a biblical epic – well, not really (think Noah) -- but a long time between good ones. Ridley Scott brings us Exodus: Gods and Kings, and it looks to be a good one or at the very least grandiose in the style of The Ten Commandments. Christian Bale plays some important biblical figure – oh wait, he plays Moses. Did we mention the film reminded us
of The Ten Commandments? Look for it December 12.
Yes, we have a comedy sighting, and it just might be a good one. Chris Rock is back on the big screen in Top Five, which he wrote and directed. It’s about a character like, like, well, Chris Rock.
Then there is Inherent Vice, a grim drugs and vice thriller set in the early 70s with grim actors like Joaquin Phoenix, Eric Roberts and Benecio Del Toro. We could have sworn we saw Reese in there somewhere, too, but it can’t be, she’s off hiking somewhere.
The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies is due the week before Christmas, the second Peter Jackson trilogy based on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings characters. For the love of Mordor may it be the last.
And then we have our Oscar contenders: it’s fashionable to release your important film at the very end of the year so Academy voters will remember it when the ballots are filled out because after all, the typical Hollywood type has an attention span of five minutes. Clint Eastwood (Oscar winner) brings us American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper
(Oscar winner). It’s supposedly a true story about U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. Amy Adams (Oscar winner) plays the painter Margaret Keane in Big Eyes also starring Christoph Waltz (Oscar winner). Anyone see a pattern developing?
Speaking of Oscar, Meryl Streep is in . . . WAIT! Breaking news! MERYL STREEP HAS JUST WON THE 2014 OSCAR!! AGAIN! And they haven’t even voted yet. She stars in Into The Woods, from Disney, a unique take on the classic Grimm fairly tales. Streep is magnificent.
Then there is The Gambler with Mark Wahlberg (Oscar winner) and young Quvenzhané Wallis — you guessed it: she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Selma, this year’s Lincoln, looks equally boring. It stars David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr. and suffers from a heavy-handed script among other maladies.
Last but not least Seth Rogen, who probably will never win an Oscar, teams with James Russo in The Interview, set in the garden paradise of North Korea. It’s due out Christmas day and advance word is there are some good laughs.

More than half the people who purchase Tom Schlichter’s Long Island’s best Fishing Calendar are women. Why? To get their husbands out of the house and out of their hair, of course.
The author knows a thing or two about fishing – he is the longtime Outdoors columnist for Newsday.
This is truly a gift that pays for itself, and then some. It costs under $16 and there are over $30 worth of coupons inside.
Long Island is the fishing capital of the world, and though everyone knows there are abundant striped bass, fluke, bluefish and flounder, Schlichter reveals the where and whens of fishing for walleye, pickerel, carp, panfish and white perch, just to name a few.
To order in time for Christmas visit www.outdoortom.com or drop the author a line at PO Box 462 Southold NY 11971.

HolidayThink Local For Holiday Fare
By Rick Murphy
There is nothing like local Bay Scallops. But for Thanksgiving or even Christmas dinner? Why not?
It seems like this season has yielded a vintage crop in terms of numbers and sweetness – in fact, I think the sweetest in memory. (They are plump little devils this year, too!)
I’ve been eating Bay Scallops since I was a little kid. My grandfather and uncle used to get them, and poppa would pull out his trusty folding knife and open a few right then and there. Yes, they are edible raw, and as sweet as can be.
Granted, scallops aren’t considered holiday season fare, but they were in our house. They were free, which always came in handy when feeding a big family. They were abundant during the holiday season, and we tried to have them two or three times a week before the freeze set in.
One thing our family always adhered to -- don’t get crazy in the kitchen: serve them as simply as you can and let the natural flavor come through.
I keep with the local theme, dicing up a yellow squash and a zucchini and some parsley and basil. Hopefully you still have some veggies and herbs in your garden, especially if you have a cold frame.
Add maybe a few mushrooms for color and flavor. I’ll cook up a cup of tri-color rotini and a couple strips of bacon and put aside.
In frying pan sauté a couple shallots and chopped garlic cloves in the bacon fat and a little olive oil until translucent. Dice up mushrooms and veggies and sauté for a couple minutes. Add two-thirds cup white wine, one-half cup sherry, the herbs, and lemon juice.
Rinse the scallops, pat dry, and mix
them in to the pan. Sprinkle pepper on top.
When the liquid is almost boiling add a little water, sprinkle a little paprika on top (for color) and place under the broiler, stirring after 30 or 40 seconds. When the liquid starts to boil take the dish out. Place a couple tablespoons of pasta to the bottom of each plate and pour in the scallops and other ingredients.
Sprinkle crumbled bacon bits. Serve at once with garlic bread. (See left). One pound of scallops yields three servings.
Get a good, fresh loaf of semolina Italian bread, cut in half the long way.
Sauté a generous amount of chopped garlic
in olive oil until clear but not brown. Pour it over the bread equally. Sprinkle ground salt and pepper and diced parsley liberally. Partially cover bread with tin foil, leaving top mostly exposed. Bake in a 350 degrees oven until bread begins to brown. Cut into individual pieces and serve a piece or two with each bowl of scallops.

HolidayHealthy Holiday Tips from Fitness
Expert Andrea Fornarola Hunsberger 1. Don’t Deny Yourself at a Holiday
Party! Small tastes of everything at the holiday table will be better for your waist-line rather than denying yourself all night, then bingeing on the sweetest treat you can find at the end of the night.
2. Stick to the sparkly seltzer with a lemon, lime or an orange in it. Stay away from sugary punch bowls and the holiday cocktails.
3. If you are going to toast to the holiday season, remember moderation is key. Stick to a two glass minimum, and keep classy with a glass of Champs or Pro-secco rather than the extra sugary holiday specialty cocktail or spiked holiday punch
4. Stay away from the Gingerbread Peppermint Mocha Spiced Salted 500 calorie drinks at the Coffee Shop. In-stead, try sugar free or ditch the latte all together. Try a skim misto with your fa-vorite signature blend and a pump of your favorite syrup. You will cut the calories in half and still enjoy the coffee house staple of the season.
5. Make your work-out part of your holiday routine. Time your lunch dates and shopping trips after your workout so that you are sure to get it in. Even more fun, buy a friend a class at your favorite barre studio and enjoy fitness together.
6. When shopping for that sexy holi-day dress, pick up some sassy new work out gear as well. If you buy a fun new workout outfit that you are excited to sport in class or at the gym you will look forward to your fitness routine.
7. Don’t stress, and if you do hit the gym! Stress reactions in the body wreak havoc on your waistline. If you are feeling the pressure of the season do some cardio! Get your heart rate going, release those good endorphins and enjoy the challenges of the season!
8. Vitamins! Please consult your doctor before taking any vitamin supplements, however once you get the clearance, B vitamins help the body metabolize and burn calories more efficiently. Try add-ing a B Complex to your routine to add an extra boost of energy during the busy holiday season.
9. Walk and carry your holiday pur-chases. While Christmas shopping, take the stairs, park further away from the store, and carry your bags rather than using a cart. Holiday shopping can and will burn calories if you make it a total body experience.
10. Take Time For You! Making time for quiet reflection, meditation or yoga can help center the mind and body so that you feel better and perform at your
best. It is a proven fact that when you are practicing good mental health exercises you are more likely to make healthier choices throughout the day.

Health Tips With Andrea Fornarola Hunsberger
HolidayThe Gingerbread Massacre of ‘91
By Kitty Merrill
Oh, you kids today with your prefab houses and instant icing/glue in a can, and gourmet gumdrops. Back in the day I had to push the baby in the jogging stroller all the way down Newtown Lane to the dreaded A&P to get the ingredients to make a gingerbread house from scratch.
The ingredients include cream of tartar, which you don’t hear about much nowadays. You can also use it as a paste to get rid of water rings in the toilet. That’s right. Even though I now consider an ancient slice of pizza from the office fridge nuked to molten yumminess a fine dinner, there was a time when I was Martha Stewart, Helpful Heloise, and Irma Bombeck all rolled into one, bub.
But I digress. I was one of those at home moms
who made everything from scratch. Organic zucchini lovingly steamed and pulverized was my baby’s food. I credit the healthy diet with a premature verbal prowess that prompted one of the kid’s first dinnertime critiques: “This is disgusting.”
Of course when the time was right and the season was bright I was going to make a homemade gingerbread house. So what if my son was only three and my nephew just 13? We were going to have family time and like it.
In the 1990s, an “instant” gingerbread house was comprised of a kit that used molds for the house’s walls. Big, heavy,
iron molds. You filled the molds with gingerbread dough made from sifting stuff together into a bowl. Or, mostly into a bowl. Sifting is not for wimps.
Liquid in the form of eggs – supposedly sans shells, but who does that? – plus molasses and water, created the dough which was pressed into the big, heavy, iron molds. That made the molds even heavier and harder to carry. So I kind of slid/dropped them into the oven to bake.
The spillover made my house smell so festive!
While the gingerbread cooked, it was time to make “Royal Icing.” Royal Icing is the glue that holds your house together, allegedly.
The boys actually enjoyed making the Royal Icing. They got to lick the spoon and the electric beater blades. (Remember to turn the mixer off first, ladies and gents.) By the time we finished making and eating all the icing, then making a second batch to actually use, we all pretty much lapsed into a sugar coma . . .
And were awakened by the smoke alarm.
The house was not “fully involved,” as firefighters say, but the gingerbread spillover was. Rescuing the million pound molds brimming with scorched gingerbread was a physical challenge. Did I mention they weigh a million pounds? Getting them all out of the smoking stove without injury was the test.
Luckily I had plenty of aloe for the burns.
The box said the gingerbread walls would simply “pop” out of the molds. The box lied. Charred at the edges, stuck to the iron, and . . . well, lumpy, the finished product resembled nothing like the walls of the house.
“Tough Tinkerbell. We’re making this goddam house anyway,” I informed the boys in my most motherly Mrs. Claus tone.
By now the baby was crying while my nephew whispered softly, “I really don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t even like gingerbread.”
“This is our new TRADITION,” I hollered, sweating.
The Royal Icing stuck to the spatula. It stuck to the bowl. It stuck to our fingers. It turned black gingerbread crumbs into black gingerbread balls. It stuck to the counters. It stuck to the cabinets. It stuck to the floor.
It did not stick to our lumpy gingerbread walls.
At all. So, in 1991 at the Merrill house,
on Christmas day we had a fragrant tree festooned with handmade lace ornaments, home-gilded greens across the mantle and on the bannisters, lace snowflakes in the windows, The Messiah on the cassette deck, eggnog served in crystal cups, the table set with my finest holiday china and Grandma Honey’s silver, a tablescape of subtly glittered pinecones that matched the hand crafted napkin rings.
And at the center of it all, boldly brown and black and stuck to a paper plate, coated in powdered sugar “snow,” the Merrill family homemade from scratch Christmas masterpiece – a gingerbread lean-to.
