Fall Logo 2
Greetings!

This week marks the beginning of Autumn. I hope you all enjoyed part of the summer and had a chance to taste some of Reinwald's Bakery  fresh fruit cakes. We were really lucky with only about 8 days over 90 degrees. I have a friend in  Louisiana where they had 8 days over 90 degrees in one week!
 
One of the things I like about Long Island is we have a true four seasons. Also it is rarely very hot or very cold. Minneapolis for example is very cold in winter and in the summer when warm winds sweep across the plains it can be brutally hot. We are very fortunate!
 
Embrace the change in seasons and enjoy their diversity. Fresh corn and tomatoes will be finishing up but fall brings the cauliflower, squashes and New York State apples to market. To take advantage of the last corn we have included a corn chowder recipe. It can be a robust meal on a chilly evening. Prepare it ahead and heat it up for a quick meal after soccer or after school activities. I add a touch of McHileeny's Tabasco to spice it up a bit.
 
To welcome the New York State apples we are featuring a Fresh Apple Tart. This is a perfect treat on a cool evening with your favorite coffee or tea. It will help you relax and reduce your anxiety. The beneficial effects of a dessert enjoyed slowly and in moderation far outweigh the caloric intake!
 
Best Regards,

With the after school activities, busy work schedules and everyday chores sometimes it can feel like your not spending enough time as a family. This Fall spend some time out doors with your family at one of many Long Island orchards. There is something about watching a child take a bite of a fresh picked apple that is sure to make you smile. Pick a basket full and make fresh apple sauce or marmalade. Here are our recommended orchards:

What Apple do I Use?
 
With so many variations it is hard to decide which kind to use. Here is a guide to keep in mind before you pick a basket of the wrong variety.
 
  • McIntosh - This is the most consumed apple in North America. Small, round,  and bright red in color. Like it's cousin the Cortland and Empire these apples don't get brown very fast when you cut them. This makes them great for chopping into salads or slicing up for a healthy snack.  They tend to bake very well in pies as well.
  • Golden Delicious- Not related to the Red Delicious, however still a tasty snack. Thinner softer yellow skin with a slightly sweeter taste. This variety is great for baking.
  • Granny Smith- Originating in Australia, the apple gets its name from the old woman's orchard where the breed was created by mistake. This is a mistake we can easily forgive. Its balance of sweetness and tartness make this apple perfect for every use. Cut them up for a refreshing snack, bake them or use to make apple sauce or marmalade.  Reinwald's Fresh Apple Tart is filled with Long Island Granny Smiths, the perfect fall dessert!
  • Red Delicious - The traditional American snacking apple. Its thick deep red skin and slender shape make this apple distinct. I crispy and juicy bite is what to expect, however not the best for baking.
  • Gala- Related to the Golden Delicious this variety is usually yellow and red. It has a mild sweet flavor and a soft yellow flesh. Tend to be very bland when baking.
 
 
 
FactHuntington Fact
 
Huntington High School is celebrating its 50th anniversary in it's current location. The High school and the Big H shopping center were built on the Estate of H. Bellas Hess. At one Time National Bellas Hess was one of the top five mail order companies in the country, but slipped into bankruptcy in the 70's. National Bellas Hess is still pertinent today in that in the late 60's the state of Illinois sued for state sales tax for sales in Illinois. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bellas Hiss and reaffirmed in 1992 in  Quill V. North Dakota.
Congress is discussing whether this should be legislated especially with the increasing amount of Internet sales. Of Course the state's look at all this potential revenue out there and want a part of it. If you have any opinions either way you should let your congressman know. If you don't some Lobbyist will.
