Serendipityin the Garden

By Adam W. LathamSometimes, neglecting your garden can lead to surprisingly good thingshappening there, things that you never would have expected. This past springI had a quail visit my garden simply because I just never got around to addingmulch in the shrub bed outside my kitchen window. Without the mulch, bareearth was exposed to the warming rays of the sun. Deciding this was theperfect spot for a dust bath, my winged visitor spent the better part of anafternoon alternating between bathing itself and ducking in and out of thenearby juniper and lilac for cover. What an amazing sight for my children,who had never seen a quail before, let alone one as up close as this.

My mini-meadow started out as an area at the edge of the lawn that I simplydidn't want to mow anymore. Backed by evergreens, I thought this would make anice spot for wildflowers, native grasses, and native grassland shrubs. Developing ameadow in this way, essentially by neglect, can be a long process. But after acouple of years, I noticed the orange flowers of the butterfly weed in the summerand the waxy covered leaves of bayberry poking up through the tall grass. Now Igather the downy-covered seeds of the butterfly weed in the fall and plant them inthe meadow in an effort to multiply them. I've also introduced complementaryshrubs such as steeplebush, cutleaf sumac, and bottlebrush buckeye, as well as theseeds of black-eyed Susan and purple coneflower.

Every winter I carefully plan the layout of my vegetable garden, selecting oldfavorites but always adding a few new varieties or fulfilling special requests frommy family. What I've grown to appreciate over the years is the welcome surprise ofself-sowing annual flowers and herbs such as bachelor buttons, sunflowers, cosmos,and dill. I initially planted them in my neat, organized rows to attract beneficialinsects, but the following year, several seedlings inevitably popped up in the pathsor rows. The first year this happened, I pulled up the seedlings in an effort toadhere to my carefully laid-out plan. Now they are a welcome accidental additionand I enjoy looking for the spouting seedlings in spring. If you still have leftoverseed packets of these annuals, you can still sow them yourself this fall before theground freezes.

Sometimes perennial self-sowers can become as unwanted in the garden as aherd of deer grazing on your hostas. Several years ago I planted fountain grass,which is a great looking grass for the late fall garden with its arching purple plumes.In our area, it's supposed to have immature seed in late fall and so far has not beenreported as a nuisance. However, in my home garden, it has escaped its plantingbed and its seed has begun to germi-nate in the lawn and in adjacentplanting beds.

Birds and animals sow a lot oftree and shrub seeds. As evidence,just look around your yard or your

local conservation area and you're bound to come across a specimen or thicket of the oh-so-ubiquitous burning bush, autumn olive, Norway maple, or Japanese multiflora rose. But asidefrom these annoyances, chance seedlings can be a blessing in your landscape too. Since they aresmall, if they aren't growing where you'd like them to be, they are easy to move to a moresuitable location. In my landscape, I've encouraged chance seedlings of bayberry, eastern redcedar, horse chestnut, and catalpa. My wife likes the catalpa tree, primarily because it blooms inlate June, around the time of her birthday. When we first moved into our home, I told her I'dtry to find a place for one in our yard. This native tree has large, bean-like seeds inside very long

pods and doesn't mind growing in droughty soils such as ours. The nearest catalpa tree to my home is nearly half a mile away, yet onesprouted next to my deck several years ago. I've transplanted it to the outside edge of our house lot, where it will have more room to grow. Ahorse chestnut sprouted two years ago in a spot where all I have to do to make the location more ideal is to remove a few small choke cherrytrees. The young eastern red cedar was poking its top out of a low-growing Old Gold juniper. I particularly liked its plum-colored winter foliage.Now this native tree has a home among late season perennials and grasses in my front yard.

Sometimes a planting design can be viewed more as gardening by selection than gardening by design, especially when you're designing agarden in a naturalistic setting. Often when I'm working on a design at a client's home, I'll find native plants, or colonies of plants, whicharen't readily available in landscape-sized material at nurseries. Trees like sassafras, quaking aspen, pitch pine, and sweet birch, shrubs such asstaghorn sumac, silky dogwood, and steeplebush, and ground covers like lowbush blueberry, teaberry, and bunchberry are there, just waiting tobe found. Once I've identified the plants and explained their benefits, people seem to have a higher regard for these natives and value havingthem as part of their garden and not simply as part of “the woods.”

As the leaves drop this fall, make careful observations around your garden for chance seedlings poking out of the planting beds andwoodland edges. You may also notice interesting seed, fruit, and flower displays this time of year. Some of my favorite natives for the late fallgarden are winterberry holly (red berries), witch hazel (yellow flowers), and staghorn sumac (red seed heads). What pleasant surprises are in storefor you in your garden?

Editor’s Note…

November brings the chill of winter, but alsothe warmth and cheer of Thanksgiving. Inthis issue of Rhode Island Home, Living &Design, we've got something to prepare youfor both.

Dawn Keable offers some tips for boostingyour immune system with natural supple-ments that can help you stay healthy during cold season. For the gardeners among us, Adam Lathampoints out some of the plants and shrubs you can enjoy in your winter garden - winterberry hollyand witch hazel, for example - and helps to stave off the cold weather blues by reminding us of thespringtime surprises that await us.

Many of us use winter as an opportunity to hunker down inside and do some home improvement,so Cheryl Butler brings us some creative ideas for stylish dining rooms - just in time for someredecorating before you welcome friends and family for Thanksgiving.

In case you're not yet in the holiday mood, Matt Taylor takes us to Plymouth, Massachusetts,where legend says the pilgrims held the first Thanksgiving feast over 300 years ago. (As Matt remindsus, though, the feast was actually just a harvest celebration.) And in case you plan to be the guestand not the host on Turkey Day, Helen McKenna's got a slew of suggestions for thoughtful gifts thatare literally full of taste - from fresh-baked breads and pies to gourmet cheeses and wines.

Most of our attention on Thanksgiving is directed toward our plates, but in between mouthfulsof turkey and pumpkin pie, you need something interesting to talk about. As always, this issue servesup a thought-provoking mix of Rhode Island history to catch your interest.

Nancy Cifune tells the story of two Bristol families with a great impact on the town - a story thatinvolves slave-trading, bankruptcy, world-class racing yachts, and U.S. Navy torpedo boats. AndPatti Cassidy uncovers the history behind Woonsocket street names and gives us a tour of SalveRegina University and its stunning waterfront campus. (Who knew that the large urn near the mainentrance, called “The Bean Pot” by students, is actually a Roman dolium dating back to 200 BC?)

Thanksgiving, of course, is primarily about expressing thanks. Here at Rhode Island Home, Living& Design we are grateful to Sam Costello for his exceptional work as our editor for almost two years.Sam is moving on to other projects, but I look forward to maintaining the same high standards heset for the magazine. Thank you, Sam. And most of all, thank you to all our readers!

As the darkness of night seems to approach earlier and earlier,Rhode Islanders are getting reacquainted with the rituals ofindoor living. Gone are the days of al fresco happy hours as we areforced to embrace cold weather habits: preparing an all-day chilito savor on Sunday afternoons while watching the games,gathering with friends and loved ones for dinner parties and gamenights, and perusing the sales at favorite shopping villages forbargains from hand-knit sweaters to original art.

Amidst all of the activity, much of the hustle and bustle culminatesin this month's favorite Thursday: Thanksgiving. Whether you spendthe holiday steeped in family tradition, gathered 'round the diningroom table adorned with various out-dated Pfaltzcraft place settings,or at a get-together at an Indian restaurant with your eccentric bestfriends from all walks of life, Thanksgiving is a celebration of thanksacross the board, and a special gift of appreciation should always begiven to your host or hostess in gratitude for the occasion.

A gift of gratitude need not be elaborate or expensive, butshould always be thoughtful and given with sincerity. Savory horsd'oeuvres, side dishes, or desserts are a sure way to please yourhostess and perhaps shave off a little stress from the preparations. Ifyou plan to bring a dish that will accompany the meal - an appleraisin stuffing or baked butternut squash, for example - be sure tolet your hostess know ahead of time to avoid potentially awkwardexchanges at the table. (“Please pass the candied sweet potatoes,Marge.” “Oh, do you mean my sweet potatoes or Peg's sweetpotatoes?” Yikes.) Many artisans, farm stands, orchards, and mom-and-pop markets throughout the Ocean State offer handmadefoodstuffs that are sure to please any palate.

Breaking BreadIt doesn't have to be the days leading up to Thanksgiving forJamestown's Village Hearth to see lines out the door as early as 7 a.m.Ocean Staters flock to this humble husband-and-wife-owned artisanbakery on Conanicut Island for their fresh, out-of-the-wood-ovenofferings, from their aromatic ciabatta bread to their mouthwateringasiago loaf. Even with the bakery's finicky hours (they're only openFriday through Sunday), loyalists make their way to the humblehearth for breads, scones, muffins, and more. Any hostess would bedelighted to serve such freshly baked local treats as a teaser for the feastthat is yet to come.

If you think you can do better and can rival “That's cooking withclass” Chef Frank Terranova, consider whipping up a homemadeappetizer to please diverse palates. Those with an affinity for Southernflavors will welcome cornbread with a jalapeño kick. For Old WorldItalian tabletops, consider a fresh, simple insalata caprese. Ripe toma-toes (preferably organic), buffalo mozzarella, and hand-picked basilleaves drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil are all it takes to create amemorable appetizer with garden-fresh flavor, leaving plenty of roomfor the barrage of dishes to follow.

vinegar - everyone seems to have their ownThanksgiving favorites. If your holiday is notcomplete without these perennial plates, askyour hostess if you can share your sentimentaldelights with the party. If taking to thekitchen isn't your forte (and guests will paythe price), plan a visit to your local market.

Glenn Place at Tom's Market Catering inCoventry starts fielding phone calls forThanksgiving favorites weeks ahead of the bigday, and he proactively sends out reminders tocustomers who have signed up for themarket's emailed newsletter. Place under-stands the chaos of today's modern lifestyleand the time it takes to prepare an entirespread. (Garlic mashed potatoes for 25 to 30?That usually translates to about 10 to 15pounds worth of whipped spuds!) He saysthat while hostesses are committed to takingresponsibility for that fresh roasted turkeyaroma to welcome guests, more and more people need to outsource the side dishes.“Everything from chicken escarole soup to sautéed broccoli rabe” can be boughtpre-prepared, Place says. “People can pop [the dish] in the oven, put it on a serving platterand go.”

For gatherings where you may not have a closerelationship with the hostess and don't feelcomfortable calling ahead to offer a side dish,Place recommends sticking with “before andafter” fare: appetizers and desserts. “Cheeses orpâté can be put out with the appetizers, and thatway you don't put the hostess in a tailspin,” saysPlace. One of the best-selling specialty cheeses atMilk and Honey Bazaar in the heart of Tiverton'sHistoric Four Corners village is their Fromaged'Affinois. Imported from France, the silkysmooth blend is a double cream that tastes like atriple cream. Pair with fresh fruit and a sparkingwine and you've got an international pre-dinnersnack that will also buy your hostess some extratime in the kitchen.

Sweet EndingsYou'll be hard-pressed to find a Thanksgivinggathering that doesn't look forward to dessert.From all-American apple pie (á la mode, ofcourse) to coconut-covered German chocolatecake (my aunt's specialty), there's nothing quitelike a buffet of decadent desserts to usher in thetryptophan or tofurkey coma. Blueberry andpumpkin pies are obvious choices, but considerintroducing family and friends to a new treat.

Ginger scones are the most popular pick at Middletown's Sweet Berry Farm, according toMichelle Eckhart, who owns the 100-plus acre farm with her husband, Jan. Homemade andwith a coveted reputation, their scones, which also come in different varieties, have a loyalfollowing, says Eckhart. Applesauce and apple cider, fresh from their pick-your-own appleorchard outside the Sweet Berry Farm Market, are consummate Thanksgiving favorites andwould be welcome at any table.

Dessert wines and après dinner cocktails often take the place of calorie-ridden puddings,pies, and the like. Newport Vineyard's award winning Riesling - “semi-dry, with floral

aromas and rich melon andmineral flavors” is howthe family-owned vineyarddescribes it - makes a greatimpression both in presenta-tion and on the palate. Orconsider bringing a variety ofcoffees from local roasters,including the fresh-roastedblends from Tiverton'sCoastal Roasters, for anafter-dinner brew of the finest,fair trade beans.

From local delights toexotic flavors, the options fortasteful gifts are endless. Beinga good guest takes nothingmore than some thoughtfulconsideration. Before the bigday, be sure to get a head-

count so you can bring enough foreveryone, and if you're known for heapingon more than your share, give Place oryour own local chef extraordinaire anexaggerated headcount so you don't gohome grumpy. While trinkets andtchotchke can be heartfelt, flavorful faremeans, quite literally, that you bringsomething to the table. �

By Patti CassidyThe huge, dark urn in front of Salve Regina University's McCauleyHall isn't flashy. It doesn't dazzle. Supported by its green brass standon a simple base with the single word “Roma” cast into it, it can beeasily overlooked by the casual campus visitor. But since I know itshistory, I hesitate to touch it for fear of profaning the historic relic.

This dolium (as it is properly called) was unearthed in 1884 from arectory in Rome, near a trove of coins from Emperor Nero's reign.According to one account, it had lain there undisturbed “since the dayswhen Saint Paul himself preached the kingdom of God.” Eventually, the

dolium found its way to the Norse-inspired Vinland Estate inNewport, where its historically savvy owner treasured it. WhenSalve acquired the property in 1955, the dolium came with it.Today, in spite of the relic's venerable history, Salve studentshumorously refer to it as “The Bean Pot.”

Across the street, the low boughs of a tree shelter a bricklabyrinth next to McKillop Library. The flat, maze-like construc-tion was completed in 2006. Although the construction is new, theconcept of the labyrinth is very old, dating back to ancient Greeceand Egypt. Unlike a maze, which can confuse and confound thosewho try to navigate it, the labyrinth has only one winding paththat brings the walker to its center and back again. Walking alabyrinth can help you to center yourself since it requires mindfulawareness of all your steps. The experience can be refreshing andprovide a real break from everyday routine.

This labyrinth, which has been used for a variety of purposessince it was first installed, was part of the opening events of thisyear's class reunion. The labyrinth was decorated with candles, analumni remembrance book was set out, and alumni wereencouraged to “walk Salve Regina's labyrinth and take some quiettime to remember classmates and loved ones,” according to theschedule of events.

Honoring the PastSalve obviously honors the past. Even its name connects the schoolwith antiquity. “Salve Regina” is Latin for “Hail Queen,” referringin this case to the VirginMary. Both physicallyand philosophically,it's a unique blend ofthe historic and themodern.

“One of the greatlegacies of Salve Reginato students and gradu-ates is the wonderfularchitecture where theylive and study,” Dr. M.Therese Antone, thecurrent president, saidin a statement on Salve'swebsite. “Our campus is a living museum, a learning laboratory ofAmerican architectural styles, technical accomplishments, socialpatterns and economic history.” Many students agree. One

nursing program graduate who now works atnearby Newport Hospital said that she couldnever quite believe that she was going to classes insuch beautiful buildings.

This distinctive campus began in 1947 whenthe Goelet family of New York donated theirsummer “cottage,” Ochre Court, to the Dioceseof Providence, which offered it to the Sisters ofMercy. Getting the stunning late Gothic Frenchmansion as a home for their long-anticipatedSalve Regina College was like a dream come truefor the nuns. They had originally received theircharter in 1934, and now they were more thanready to accept the generous offer. They openedtheir doors almost immediately. In the beginning,

all 58 students lived on the third floor and attended classes onthe second floor of the mansion, while the nuns who taughtthem lived in the servant's quarters.

Though it wasn't originally planned that way, the schoolgrew increasingly beautiful as the years went by and they addedmore Gilded Age properties to their campus. Today, the schoolowns 75 acres and 44 buildings, almost half of which arehistoric properties, including mansions formerly owned by theNewport elite. In 1999, Salve won the National PreservationAward Honor for preserving 18 of Newport's 19th centurycottages. Even the trees are protected on this campus; theschool's policy is to never disturb or trim any tree unless it isdiseased or dead.

Salve sponsors annual conferences on cultural and historicpreservation covering topics from “The Arts and CraftsMovement” to “Leisure, Tourism and the 19th Century Resort.”

Its Cultural and Historic Preservation School also offers such courses as “American Interiors” and“World Heritage Management.” By taking on valuable projects, such as documenting historicalresources in some of Newport's neighborhoods, including the Southern Thames Neighborhoodand the Kay/Catherine District, students of the program contribute to the city of Newport.

Preparing for the FutureBut as much as it honors the past, Salve Regina is also vitally involved in the 21st century,preparing its graduates to excel in nursing, education, administration, and international studies.They aim for leadership, and successful alumni such as the President and CEO of the New YorkTimes Company, Janet L. Robinson, are a tribute to the school's achievements.

Salve's Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy, a multi-disciplinary programestablished in 1996, strives to promote peace through increasing international dialogue. It offerspublic lectures and conferences, a yearly high school essay contest, and an honors program forhigh school students.

As Salve looks to the future, one of the goals of its five-year strategic plan is to “establish acommunications, teaching and learning center to support the ongoing development of theacademic community.” This is being effectively carried out in part by e-Salve, the University'sonline learning option, which at this point primarily features graduate courses taught by its ownprofessors. With an eye to the future, however, e-Salve is beginning to offer more and moreundergraduate courses online as well. According to Dr. Thomas Sabbagh, the Dean ofContinuing Studies and Graduate Education, online courses are growing phenomenally. Suchcourses aren't watered-down versions of the real thing, but innovative integrations of technologyand content that involve lots of traditional reading as well as required participation in online“discussion rooms,” mirroring classroom interaction.

Salve University is proud of its Catholic heritage and vision. In its Mission IntegrationStatement, it has called for its students and faculty to contribute to the school's Catholicidentity and to practice its core virtue of mercy. It's an unusual call for a modern university, yetone that focuses on what make Salve unique. �

By Patti CassidySome things need no explanation. There is, for example, no doubtabout how Railroad Street in Woonsocket came by its name. It bordersthe railroad and even the street sign on its east end stands against abackground of railroad trestle and the city's magnificent 1882 railroadstation. Even the graphic on the sign's left end - the city's shield withan 1888 founding date - anchors you into place. But some street namesonly hint at their fascinating origins.

Early Entrepreneurs Carve out a NeighborhoodTake Cato Street. Beginning at Main Street, it rises up the hill to theCato Hill Historical District, which extends as far north as RailroadStreet. It's named for Cato Willard, a black resident of the town wholaid out housing plots for working class people on land his wife Lydiainherited from her family. When he died in the early 1830s (somerecords say 1830, others 1834), he left his estate, valued at $355, to hiswife. A savvy businesswoman, she laid out more plots throughout thewhole area. By the time she died in 1860, her estate was valued atalmost $7000 - a hefty sum for anyone in those days, especially a hard-working widow.

One afternoon, I walked down the hill from Cato Street to theMuseum of Work and Culture on South Main Street. Itself a convert-ed textile mill, the inviting old building houses a unique collection thattells the story of Woonsocket's French-Canadian millworkers. As Italked with Ray Bacon, the museum's co-manager, we discussed someof the colorful personalities of the town, including Canadian-bornAram Pothier. Once a grocery store clerk, he was eventually responsi-ble for bringing over $6 million of investments into the city in the late19th century. Eventually he became governor of the state and served atotal of seven terms before dying in office in 1928. I was surprised tofind that there was no street named after him.

But he was certainly not forgotten, Bacon assured me. When the RhodeIsland State Senate passed a resolution recognizing the dedication of hismonument in front of the museum in 1999, they wrote that AramPothier was “single-handedly responsible for the super-economic power ofWoonsocket for more than 50 years” and “has touched almost 90% ofWoonsocket families.” The plaza where the museum is located is, in fact,named Place Pothier, though its official address is Main Street.

In another part of town, Edward Harris, the mill owner who intro-duced lucrative woolen mills to the city, established his house and gar-dens. He sold off the periphery of his land for genteel development asearly as the 1850s, and this was the beginning of the city's residentialNorth End. After his wife died in the 1890s, the family opened up thewhole property for more homes. Today, all of the tree-lined thorough-fares are named roads, in contrast to the more urban “streets” thatdominate the rest of the city.

Six Villages Make One CityWoonsocket was originally made up of six mill villages (Bernon,Hamlet, Globe, Jencksville, Social and Woonsocket Falls) dividedbetween the larger townships of Cumberland and Smithfield. When


the residents finally won their inde-pendence - first from Cumberland in1867, then from Smithfield in 1871 -they unified into the Town ofWoonsocket, eventually becoming acity in 1888. But the villages didn'tlose their identities. Although the millsthat dominated them gradually closed,

the street names still reflect the original areas. Hamlet Avenue (also known as Rt. 122) runs across a bridge from

downtown Woonsocket to Cumberland Hill Road, where the mills oper-ated and workers lived. Though the area has changed and the mills aresilent, some of the old buildings survive.

Though you might guess otherwise from its name, Social Street, whichruns up the west side of the river, isn't a road used for social gatherings orpromenades. At one time the street was dominated by three mills, includ-ing the thread-producing Social Manufacturing Company founded in1810, Nourse textile mill, and the American Wringer Company. In the1930s, the Woonsocket Rayon Company joined them. These mills andthe buildings and employee housing that surrounded them made up thearea known as the Social Mill Village. Today, Social Street has been called“Woonsocket's New Downtown” and includes the Harris Library, theWorld War II Veterans Memorial Park, and several major office buildings.

At least one of Woonsocket's streets hides a fascinating part of the city'sindustrial past. Allen Street, on the west side of the river between Bernonand Court Streets, is actually the route of the historic Blackstone Canal.When this part of the canal eventually closed down, it was filled in andthe pathway that took barges from the Blackstone River to Market Squarebecame an ordinary road.

Of course, the center of the city has traditionally been Main Street. Itwas the stem that connected the mill villages, and in the 19th century,hotels and commercial buildings lined the lively street. Many of them stillstand, providing a most interesting walk through time. The 19th centurybank buildings, in particular, still sport their ornamental trim, theirarched windows, and detailed carving and lettering. From several pointson Main Street you can see the east bank of the river, where some stonemill buildings still stand, and imagine what this city was like at the heightof its power.

With all of the city'shistorically named streets,though, there is one glaringomission. Napoleon Lajoieremains unhonored in hisown hometown. This leg-endary baseball player fromWoonsocket hit the recordsout of the park in the early20th century, made it into theBaseball Hall of fame, and in1901 had a .426 battering

average for the Philadelphia Athletics. At one time, a baseball team wasnamed for him. I was eager to find Woonsocket's tribute to this hero.“There is no street named after him,” Ray Bacon told me sadly.“No Plazas?” I asked.“No.”“No Parks?” “Nope.”“Not even a rotary?”“Afraid not.”I leave Lajoie's history in your hands, Woonsocket. �

Define Before You DineJudy Rignanese of J Interiors in Cumberland says the mostimportant factor to consider when designing your dining roomis its function. “Will it only be used for special occasions or willyou be using it as an extension of your kitchen and on a dailybasis?” she asks. Barbara Elleman of Essential Ellemants in NorthKingstown adds: “Do you entertain frequently and, if so, is aformal sit-down dinner or a casual buffet-style gathering yourdesire?” Once you've determined what type of role you want thedining room to play in your home, you can begin to produce awinning recipe that will serve your family well.

Choosing FormalFormal dining rooms are currently making a big comeback,according to designer Kristen Martone of Graceke Design inNarragansett. “People are looking to welcome their friends,family, and business associates into their homes as an alternativeto having functions held at restaurants or halls,” she says. “Ahome dining room is a much more intimate setting and sends

your guests the important message that you care.”Martone identifies several key elements for creating a formal setting, starting

with the room's foundation: the furniture. “A formal dining room should be keptin sync with the rest of the home's style and décor,” she says. “If you havetraditional furnishings in your living room, you will want to consider choices likemahogany or cherry as opposed to glass and stone.”

Other formal touches include combining wainscoting with an elegantwallpaper or regal paint color, adding architectural moldings along the ceiling,hanging an exquisite crystal chandelier, and displaying your favorite dishware andsilver pieces in a stately china hutch.

Mix, Match, and be ComfyIf a formal setting cramps your style, you can opt for a more casual look. “Whenit comes to furniture, people have moved away from traditional matched sets andare using a mix of styles, finishes, and materials for their rooms,” Elleman explains.“Stone and metal are popping up more and more. Wood has taken on a morenatural look, and plain glass has been updated with new colors and texture.”

Kate Dickerson of Kate Dickerson Design, Inc. in Hingham, Massachusetts, enjoysseeing an eclectic assortment of chairs around a table, which reinforces her take on a nicedining room - fresh and relaxing. “Don't be afraid to have a mixture of wooden chairs,

painted or natural, alongside upholsteredpieces, and banquette seating can also bepart of the mix,” she says. “Today's coloroptions and fabric choices are so inspiringand you can have all your fabrics treatedwith Fiber Shield, a toxic-free protectivecoating that keeps your furniture kid andhusband friendly.” The experts agree to putcomfort first. Sit in the chairs you arechoosing to make sure they feel good.Otherwise, what's the point?

Size MattersWhether you've inherited an heirloomdining set from your grandmother or arein the market to purchase somethingnew, the room's size and shape shoulddictate the scale and placement of thepieces themselves.

“Many rooms are square or rectangular and lend themselves to a varietyof shapes when it comes to choosing a table,” Elleman notes. “Scale is key.”For a square room, a round table can be a great pick. “It really encouragesbanter and makes people feel connected,” she says. “Rectangular roomshandle longer tables well. They can accommodate large groups for holidaydinners or offer an instant buffet for casual entertaining.”

Mood LightingLighting is often a forgotten ingredient in good dining room design,according to Martone. “While chandeliers provide general light and visualinterest, wall sconces, cove lighting, or pretty table lamps set on a sideboardare additional ways to lend coziness, especially when installed withdimmers,” she says.

Try layering your lighting options for both function and ambience. “Ifyou have a long table, consider two light fixtures instead of one for anunexpected twist, and don't forget candles,” Elleman says. “Group them ina pattern or place in a hurricane lamp; they add instant sparkle and glow.”

Don't be Blue - Surround Yourself With Color Have you ever wondered if certain colors can affect your appetite? Well,they can. With the right shade of paint, even your ho-hum casserole canseem exciting.

“Warm, muted tones of red, yellow, and orange, such as wine, terracotta,burgundy, and dusty rose, help to stimulate the appetite, ultimatelycomplementing your food and leaving your guests wanting to linger,engage, and relax,” explains Martone of Graceke Designs. “Be bold in yourdining room,” she says. That goes beyond wall color. “Choose spicytablecloths, window treatments, or a vibrant area rug to ground your tableand chairs,” she suggests.

If a light and airy feeling is your preference, Elleman suggests creamy,lighter neutrals, such as shades of gray with blue and brown undertones,because they soften the feel of the room and play off dark wood tones well.

Dickerson cautions against choosing a loud shade of blue in your diningroom. Such hues tend to suppress the appetite, she warns. If blue is yourcolor, tone it down, accessorize with pops of blue by way of the room'sfabrics, or showcase the blue on your china or on a pretty vase.

Delicious DetailsJust as fresh herbs can complement the most delectable dish, small detailsin your dining room can make the difference between bland and delicious.Adding a buffet or sideboard to the room will not only give you extrastorage for table linens or silverware, but also provide an extra surface onwhich you can create a seasonal tablescape - a Thanksgiving cornucopiaoverflowing with fresh fruits, for example, or a winter wonderlandfeaturing miniature pine trees and whimsical snowmen.

Martone says your dining room walls can become an instant art gallery.“Group abstract photos or a favorite collection of artwork in a strikingarrangement of frames along an empty dining room wall and you'll haveimmediate conversation pieces,” she says.

Don't forget your ceiling, either. “Use a lighter shade of your wall colorin a glossy finish on your ceiling to add depth and reflect the light,”Martone recommends.

Pull up a Seat and Stay a WhileNo matter what style you choose for your dining room, our designers offerone final thought: make sure that it is comfortable and welcoming. Createan inviting space where your family and guests will want to pull up a seatand remain long after the table has been cleared. �

Beyondan Apple a Day:

Boosting your Immune SystemNaturallyBy Dawn Keable

Everyone wants a surefire way to keep the doctor away,

especially during the cold and flu season. But beyond building

a protective bubble to live in, or putting your faith entirely in

the nutritional power of red delicious apples, is there anything

you can do to stay healthy?

The Immune System: Your Body's Defense ArmyThe answer to this question lies partially within Understanding the Immune System: How it Works, a detailed 57-page report compiled by the

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. If you've always been the picture of health, you can thank your own complex network ofcells, tissues, and organs, which work together to protect your body against attacks by “foreign invaders.” Think of it as your own personaldefense army, fighting off germs to keep you well.

In order to carry out their mission, these health troops are constantly on the lookout for tiny, infection-causing organisms such as bacteria,viruses, parasites, and fungi, which are trying to break into the system and wreak havoc on it. Sort of makes you feel like sneezing already,doesn't it? Your immune system has the tough job of keeping them out, or, failing that, seeking them out and destroying them. But is there

any proven way for you to fortify the troops with nature's help? Can you fend off attacks onyour immune system by navigating through the vitamin section at your local Whole Foods?

Mission Impossible?It depends who you ask. Proponents of mainstream Western medicine often disagree withpractitioners of alternative medicine, and when it comes to this complex issue of how to boostimmunity, things are no different. Case in point: the findings of the Harvard Medical SchoolReport, The Truth about your Immune System: What you Need to Know, edited by Michael L.Starnbach, a professor of microbiology and molecular genetics.

According to the report, there is not enough hard scientific data to support the claim thatvitamins and supplements can boost your immune system. However, the report does identifyseveral lifestyle factors that appear to affect the immune system, offering the following easy andpractical guidelines for staying healthy:

• Avoid tobacco.

• Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but low in saturated fat.

• Exercise regularly.

• Maintain a healthy weight.

• Control your blood pressure.

• Drink only in moderation (if at all).

• Get adequate sleep.

• Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and preparing foods safely.

But advocates of alternative medicine like Paul Ratté, ND, a member of the AmericanAssociation of Nauropathic Physicians, take a different view of the powers of naturalsupplements. According to Ratté, vitamins and herbal supports can be an important part of acomprehensive plan for achieving optimal health, a plan that includes diet, exercise, and stress

management. In conjunction withHealthyU, the community healthand wellness program ofNorthwestern Health SciencesUniversity, Ratté has outlinedan extensive regimen for boostingyour immune system, usingthe inventory at GNC. You canlearn more about the programfrom the HealthyU website athttp://www.nwhealth.edu/healthyU.

From Vitamin C to Olive LeafExtractRatté divides his recommendationsinto two categories: nutritional andherbal supports. Some of thenutritional supports that Rattérecommends - vitamin C, vitamin

A, beta-carotene, and zinc, for example - are already familiar fixtures in the well-stocked medicinecabinet. Vitamin C, Ratté says, can help to fight infections from most pathogens and prevent andreduce the duration of the common cold. (If you do succumb to an infection, Ratté recommendshigh doses up to 5,000 mg a day while the infection runs its course.) Vitamin A and beta-carotenecan be used both preventatively and therapeutically to strengthen the immune system, while zincsupports a wide range of physiological functions. Echinacea, another familiar immune systembooster, is an herbal support with antibacterial and antiviral properties, used most effectively at thebeginning of an illness and throughout its duration.

Ratté's list of natural remedies also includes some less familiar supplements that you may needa little help spelling, let alone pronouncing. Flavonoids, including proanthocyanidins, quercetin,citrus bioflavonoids, and green tea polyphenols, are herbal supports lauded for their ability to helpthe body respond to allergens, viruses, and carcinogens. Thymus extract supports the thymusgland, “the master gland of the immune system,” according to Ratté, and beta-glucan, derived frombaker's yeast, promotes healthy immune cell activity. Some of Ratté's more exotic suggestionsinclude:

• Colostrum, a highly concentrated source of antibodies, growth factors, and enzymes producedby the mammary glands of dairy cows shortly after they have given birth

• Astragalus, a traditional Chinese herb thought to boost the body's resistance to disease and toprevent and reduce the duration of the common cold

• Goldenseal, an alkaloid with immune-stimulating and antimicrobial properties

• Olive leaf extract, an herbal supplement derived from the Mediterranean olive tree that supportsthe immune system and promotes a healthy intestinal environment, helping the body to defenditself against bacteria, fungi, and parasites

“I'm a Little Neti Pot, Short and Stout...”One final holistic weapon? The neti pot. It's a favorite in our house, sometimes only for the sheerabsurdity of it all. It looks like a child's teapot, with a really long spout used for nasal irrigation. Inlayman's terms, that means that you flush out whatever germs you've managed to inhale up yournose.

The process is not glamorous, by any stretch. The drill goes something like this: bend over thekitchen sink, head tilted, and then pour water and a bit of salt into one nostril, letting it runthrough your sinus system and out the side of your nose. But as reported on National Public Radioon February 22, 2007, in a small study of sinus sufferers at the University of Wisconsin, the symp-toms of congestion among the group trained to use nasal irrigation improved by about 30 to 40percent. Who's laughing now?

And that apple a day? Just go ahead and eat it. Really, it can't hurt. �

By Nancy Gabriel Cifune

Hope is Rhode Island's motto, and it was never more apparentthan in Bristol in the early 19th century. Town investors were infinancial ruin, made destitute by the infamous Triangle Trade.Yet hope came with two families, the DeWolf-Colts and theHerreshoffs, whose business dealings had such a significantimpact on the town that their influence is still felt.

General George DeWolf was a prominent slave trader who made his fortune in the Triangle Trade of molasses, rum, and slaves withthe West Indies. Recently, two descendants of the family have examined his life and legacy: Katrina Browne in her documentary film “Traces ofthe Trade: A Story from the Deep North” and Thomas Norman DeWolf in his book Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacyas the Largest Slave-Trading Dynasty in the U.S.

Bristol residents made a lot of money from DeWolf's slave-trading ventures, both as crew aboard his ships and as investors. In 1810, DeWolfshowcased his wealth by building a Federal mansion in downtown Bristol, designed by prominent Rhode Island architect Russell Warren. (Thearchitect also designed houses for three other DeWolf brothers, but General DeWolf's is the only one that remains.) Its most magnificentfeature is a four-story freestanding wooden spiral staircase, believed to be the only one in a private American home.

Life was good for DeWolf and for Bristol - until he was unable to deliver a payload of sugar for rum production. As a result, DeWolf andmost of the town went bankrupt, and the DeWolf family felt forced to flee the town in 1825.

Making AmendsThe mansion remained in the DeWolf family, aside from a decade of being leased as a hotel. In 1865 it was auctioned to Edward Colt, whotransferred the property to his sister-in-law, Theodora DeWolf Colt - General DeWolf's daughter.

“Many people don't know that the slave money disappeared within about 40 or 50 years,” said Dan Millard, curatorial director of themansion. According to Millard, Theodora's money came from her husband's textile importing business in New Jersey and from his investment

in his brother's invention, the Colt revolver. With those funds, she restored the mansion andplanted linden trees, giving the estate the name by which it is now called: Linden Place. The nextowner of the home was her son, Samuel Pomeroy Colt, known to be an intelligent, benevolentman with ethical businessdealings and a love for thepeople of Bristol. “Theodora and Samuel both

had that same vision ofrestoring the family namethat had been financiallyembarrassed in 1825, andbringing this house back tothe glory that it had onceenjoyed,” Millard said. Colthelped put Bristol back onsolid financial ground. In1886, he founded theIndustrial Trust Company(which later became FleetBank). The following year hefounded the U.S. RubberCompany. These businessventures brought many jobs to the area and allowed townspeople to safeguard their money.

Colt's great passion was breeding and showing his award-winning Jersey cows, and he ownedan over 500-acre waterfront farm. Townspeople were invited to picnic on its grounds wheneverthey liked. “This was quite unusual,” Millard said. “The park movement was just gettingstarted, and public parks were not that common in most places.” Following in that tradition,Colt stated in his will that the property should continue to be open to the public. The farmbecame part of the state's public parks system in 1965.

Colt's generosity seemingly had no bounds. In 1908, as a tribute to his deceased mother, he contributedthe then-unheard-of sum of $300,000 to build Colt Memorial High School next to Linden Place. Theschool featured marble and oak throughout, statues at the entrance, and a large Tiffany stained glasswindow at the back. One hundred years later, the school is still used as an elementary school, and hasrecently undergone a $10 million renovation project.

General DeWolf's granddaughter, Elizabeth Colt Stanfield,was the last family owner of Linden Place. In the mid 1980s,she decided to sell the home, yet locals feared the mansionwould become multiple family housing. The non-profitorganization Friends of Linden Place, founded in 1989,bought the home with a $1.5 million state bond. They nowoffer guided tours of the home and organize fundraisers for itspreservation. The beauty of the building and surroundinggardens makes it a popular site for weddings.

The Herreshoff FamilyJohn Brown Herreshoff started a successful boat buildingbusiness in Bristol in the early 1860s, but when hepartnered with his brother, Captain Nathaniel Herreshoff,in 1878, the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company reallyflourished. From their earliest years, John and NathanielHerreshoff built boats together as a hobby. After goingblind at age 15 in 1857, John depended on his brother'shelp for building boats; in exchange, Nathaniel learned theintricacies of the craft. Each had a talent for noticing thesmall design details that could make major differences inspeed and handling.

Known as Captain Nat, the younger brother was a naval architect and steam engineer whoworked the design end of the company, while John Brown, or J.B., concentrated on the businessend. The brothers designed and built some of the fastest and most technologically advanced racingyachts of the time. Between 1893 and 1914, they built five boats that won the America's Cup, oneof the world's most prestigious yachting trophies. Their 1903 contender Reliance was without doubtthe most perfect boat of their careers.

Yet they didn't do it alone. The Herreshoffs employed many talented craftsmen to execute theirdesigns, according to Jonathan Goff, program director at Herreshoff Marine Museum. “It was thesehard-working men and women that brought Reliance from the drafting table to the race course, allparts fabricated on site in less than five months, a feat that today remains a rarity,” Goff said.

Many members of the elite society of the day purchased boats from the Herreshoff ManufacturingCompany, including Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and Hearst. The company also createdmany smaller, custom-made boats and designed the first torpedo boats for the U.S. Navy.

End of an EraAccording to Christopher Pastore, author of Temple to the Wind, in 1915, as World War I was ongoing,John accepted a contract from Russia to build torpedo boats without first consulting Nathaniel. Unwillingto expand their building facilities, as the project would surely require, Nathaniel was unhappy. Thebrothers, now in their late 60s and 70s, argued. Sadly, John died a week later, before the conflict could beresolved. The business was reportedly so devastated by the loss that it could no longer be productive.

In 1924, Nathaniel and the board of directors auctioned off the company at a loss. RudolphHaffenreffer - now better known for his collection of 19th century local Native American artifacts,currently housed in Brown University's Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology - bought thecompany and offered a partnership to Nathaniel and his son Sidney. Nathaniel declined, retiring toFlorida, but Sidney accepted. Nathaniel died in his native Bristol in 1938, at the age of 90, andHerreshoff Manufacturing Company officially closed its doors after World War II, when pleasureboating was no longer thought to be profitable.

With the donation of a Herreshoff motor launch from an owner, the Herreshoff Marine Museumwas born in 1971, founded by family members on the company's site. They collected eight boats todisplay in the first year. Now the museum boasts a collection of 60 original boats.

The Herreshoffs helped to develop a long-standing tradition of boat building in Bristol, and theirinfluence on the town's commerce is still evident. Today, Bristol hosts about a dozen companiesbuilding dinghies, sailboats, powerboats, pleasure and racing yachts, and boat components. �

Going Backin Time to Celebrate

ThanksgivingBy Matt TaylorThanksgiving means many things to many people. Eating turkey, watching football,and meeting with family are just a few of the traditions we honor on this all-important holiday. There is a place a little more than 50 miles east of Providence thatholds as much significance on Thanksgiving as any place in the country. That placeis Plymouth, Massachusetts, and, specifically, Plimoth Plantation.

Since 1947, this unique museum has sought to bring to life the history of 17thcentury Plymouth, site of the Mayflower landing in 1620. (The museum's name is basedon an old-fashioned spelling of “Plymouth” and is used to distinguish it from the town.)With interactive exhibits staffed by Natives from the Wampanoag community andcostumed role players representing the English colonists, or pilgrims, as we often callthem, Plimoth Plantation aims to provide visitors with a better understanding of historyand a chance to reflect on modern perceptions - and misperceptions - of the period.

Wampanoag HomesiteA dirt path winding through a peaceful, natural setting permeated with the smell of firewood takes you to the Wampanoag Homesite, therecreated home of Hobbamock, a Pokanoket warrior who worked with the English colonists at Plymouth as a guide, interpreter, and advisor onhow to deal with the Native people. Here you will encounter Native interpreters who provide a modern perspective on the history and culture ofthe Wampanoag people who lived in the region for over 12,000 years.

Dressed in clothing of the period, they demonstrate traditional crafts and activities, offering a glimpse into what ordinary life was like for anIndigenous family in the 1600s. For example, you can watch staffmembers build a mishoon, or dugout canoe, cook a traditional meal, orconstruct a wetu, or house. Interestingly, they explain that Wampanoagsociety in the 17th century was matrilineal, with land plots passing frommothers to their female descendants, regardless of marital status.

But unlike the costumed role players representing the Englishcolonists, the Native staff at the Wampanoag Homesite are not playing arole or character. Their goal is to educate visitors about Wampanoaghistory and culture from a perspective that also incorporates the issuesthat concern Native communities today. For example, they challengemany of the misconceptions and stereotypes about Native peoples stilltaught in schools, including the notion that Natives welcomed theEnglish colonists with open arms, wearing full-feathered headdresses.Two of the staff members I spoke with noted that although many schoolsstill observe the ritual of making “Indian” costumes for Thanksgivingdemonstrations, these costumes do not accurately represent Nativecultures or properly reflect the significance of traditional Native dress.

1627 English VillageExit the Wampanoag Homesite, following the trail of the Eel RiverNature Walk, and you'll come to the 1627 English Village, a livingreplica of the farming town founded by the English after their arrival onthe Mayflower in 1620. The land on which the Plymouth colonists builttheir original village had been the site of a Wampanoag town calledPatuxet until its occupants were wiped out by disease.

Even though the inhabitants of the 1627 English Village are roleplayers, the trip back in time is no less authentic. The “villagers” speak ona variety of topics, including the Church of England and the relationshipbetween the English and the Natives, and they reenact the daily routinesof colonial life - from tending fields to mending clothes and grindingcorn. Should you feel industrious, you can even join in on the chores. 22 Rhode Island Home, Living & Design Magazine

The Wampanoag Homesite lets you explore the historyof the Native people of Plymouth.



After leaving the English Village, you have theopportunity to visit the Crafts Center, where youcan watch skilled artisans use traditional 17thcentury techniques to make furniture, pottery,baskets, and other crafts. And you won't want tomiss Nye Barn, which showcases indigenousbreeds of animals common during the 17thcentury, but rare today.

Thanksgiving: Memory, Myth, and MeaningInside the Visitor's Center is a must-see exhibit on“Thanksgiving: Memory, Myth, and Meaning,”which dispels many of the myths surrounding theholiday, from the popular image of pilgrims inbuckled hats to the idea that the feast they shared

with the Wampanoag community in 1621 was the “First Thanksgiving.” In1621, the holiday we now call Thanksgiving would have been known simply asa harvest celebration, and the only confirmed items on the menu of thisthree-day celebration were venison and wild fowl. The nation's real firstThanksgiving was celebrated in 1863, when Lincoln instituted the holiday.

A quote from the exhibit sums up its mission: “Our intention is to engageyou, to get you to think, even to question what you know about history.”

Perhaps one of the most commonmisconceptions that the exhibit forcesus to question is that the Natives andEnglish colonists cohabitated withoutincident. The truth is that bothgroups were wary of each other. Thiswas particularly true of the Natives,given their experience with earlierEuropean explorers who, prior to1620, had kidnapped and sold themas slaves.

Mayflower IIJust over 50 years ago, English journalist Warwick Charlton sought to create atangible symbol of the bond between the British and Americans duringWorld War II. This is where Project Mayflower was born. In 1951, PlimothPlantation commissioned plans for the Mayflower II from MIT naval architectWilliam Baker. After the collaboration between Baker and Charlton, the17th century replica was completed in September 1956, using traditionaltechniques and incorporating Baker's thorough research. It was the first full-scale model of a 17th century ship built in over 300 years and was designedto mirror the solitary journey of the original Mayflower to Plymouth Rockin 1620. Staff members describe the dangers of the transatlantic journey,which took place with 102 passengers cramped in the 106-foot ship formonths on end. The modern journey took 55 days from Plymouth, Englandto Plymouth, Massachusetts, and was not without incident, as the ship sur-vived a violent storm off the coast of Bermuda.

Visiting PlimothThe appeal of Plimoth Plantation is its ability to recreate history as if you wereexperiencing it yourself. “People are amazed at how real it is,” says Paula Peters,Associate Marketing Director of Plimoth Plantation. “It's interactive and funfor people of any age. People really enjoy the fact that you can meet actualNatives of the Wampanoag tribe.” The museum is open from March 22through November 30, seven days a week, including Thanksgiving Day. Hoursat the Visitor's Center are 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and tickets are $28 for adultsand $16 for children ages 6 to 12. Over 70,000 visitors make thejourney to Plimoth Plantation each November to experience the true meaningof one America's favorite holidays.

rate of fermentation and is therefore closely monitored by computers in modernwineries. The higher the temperature, the faster fermentation will occur and theopposite is also true. Therefore, steel tanks are usually outfitted with coolingequipment (refrigeration blankets) that can control the speed of fermentation.

Fermentation naturally ends when all of the sugars have been consumed by theyeast. If the winery does not wish to wait for fermentation to dryness, several actionscan be taken to stop the process. Five common methods are: increasing the carbondioxide, reducing the temperature, killing the yeasts, removing the yeasts andfortifying the wine with alcohol.

Secondary fermentation is also known as malo-lactic fermentation (ML), whichshould not be confused with a faulty condition of wine fermenting in the bottle.This defect should be called re-fermentation and is only desirable in sparkling winesmade in the traditional method champenoise. During ML, the sharp malic acid(think of tart green apples) is changed into soft lactic acid (similar to yellow apples).The natural acidity of the wine decreases and a fuller, richer taste occurs as a resultof ML.

Wineries may choose to employ a technique known as sur lie, a French termmeaning “on the lees”. These are the dead yeast cells and particles of grape skinswhich fall to the bottom of the tank or barrel at the end of fermentation. Stirringthe lees creates more flavor and complexity in the wine, usually a toasty character.It is most often done with white wines.

Cold stabilization reduces tartrate crystals which look like grains of clear sand.They may appear to be sediment in the wine, but they are not. You may notice themon the bottom of a cork after opening a bottle of wine, but do not be concerned as theywill not affect the taste. During the cold stabilizing process, the temperature of thewine, after fermentation, is dropped to close to freezing for 1-2 weeks. This willcause the crystals to separate from the wine and stick to the sides of the holding

Fermentation of White Wines

By Debra & Steve KrohnWine Entertainment Resources

If you have been following the Wine Buzz, you willremember that we left off the wine making processwith the white juice being sent off to stainless steeltanks and the red 'sitting on the must.' (Mustconsist of the juice, stems and seeds.) The process offermentation is the next step. There are two parts offermentation, primary and secondary.

Primary fermentation is centered on the addition ofthe yeast to the crushed grapes. Because of naturalforces, the two grape sugars (glucose and fructose) areconverted to alcohol by the action of yeast. Yeastconverts sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Thecarbon dioxide is vented out into the air, while thealcohol is retained in the mix. This conversion to alcoholprocess is influenced by yeast strain, quantity of yeastpopulation, must temperature, and cellar conditions.

Temperature is the only means for controlling the

The Cuisine of ChinaNo people in the world maintain as high a degree of culinary consciousness as the Chinese.A vast land of great diversity, China offers an infinite variety of foods. Its gastronomic selectionis full of such curious delicacies as bear's paw, camel's hump, shark's fin, and fish lips.

To understand the diversity of Chinese cuisine, one must look at its roots, the country'sregional cooking styles. China's culinary regions fall under broad categories: Northern-Peking, Shantang and Anhui Eastern/Coastal-Chekiang, Fukien and Kiangsu, western/central-Hunan and Szechuan, and Southern-Cantonese. In Chinese cuisine differentpreparation methods range from barbecuing, braising, stewing, sautéing, stir-frying andsmoking, to steaming.

The sophisticated refinement and high aesthetic standards of Chinese cooking are an extension of Chinese cosmic theories and medicalpractices. Chinese cuisine and eating habits strictly observe seasonality and Chinese will not spare effort nor expense to find foods believedto have good medicinal qualities. Chinese cooking is the fan and tsai. Fan means grains and other starches and tsai are vegetables and meatdishes. A balanced meal must have an appropriate amount of both fan and tsai. The five flavors: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and no one accentdominating a meal. Rich food must be counterbalanced by bland foods, smooth texture by crunch, and the hot by the cold.

STEAMED SCALLOPS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

1.Scrub scallops under cold running water, then discard flat shell. Soakblack beans in hot water for 5 minutes, then drain and crush.

2.Put the scallops on large heatproof dish, place in steamer and steam for1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a small wok or saucepan.When hot, stir-fry ginger, chili, garlic, peppercorns, green onion and blackbeans for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, sherry and stock and continue tostir-fry for another 15 seconds. Sprinkle on sesame oil.

3.Transfer one scallop to each shell and sprinkle about 2 teaspoons ofsauce over each one. The diners should be able to remove the scallopsfrom their shells with a pair of chopsticks or a fork, and then drink theremaining sauce from the shells.

SALT & PEPPER SHRIMPThe impact of the heat on the salt and pepper coating on the shrimpmakes this a very aromatic dish. A very suitable dish as an horsd'oeuvre for nibbling with wine.

1.Wash and shell shrimp. Sprinkle on 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil. Cut greenonions into 1-inch sections. Thinly slice garlic. Shred chilies. Lightly poundpeppercorns and mix with salt.

2.Heat remaining oil in wok or skillet. When hot, stir-fry shrimp over highheat for 1 minute. Remove shrimp and pour away oil to use for otherpurposes, except for 1 tablespoon. Reheat oil in wok or skillet. When hot,quickly stir-fry chili, garlic and green onion. Spread out green onion andchili and add shrimp. Sprinkle on salt and pepper mixture and stir-fry foranother 45 seconds.

PEKING DICED CHICKEN STIR-FRIED IN CAPITAL SAUCE

1.Cut chicken into cubes, then toss them in salt and cornstarch and wetwith egg white. To make ginger water, boil 3 slices of fresh ginger in 6 tablespoons water until reduced by half.

2.Heat vegetable oil in wok or skillet. When hot, add chicken and separate cubes. Stir-fry over high heat for about 30 seconds, thenremove and keep warm. Pour away excess oil. Reheat wok or pan and add yellow bean paste and ginger water. Add sherry, sugar andsoy sauce, then stir in blended cornstarch over high heat. Add chicken and stir in thickened sauce. Add sesame oil and stir together.

3.Serve hot on its own to nibble while sipping wine; or eat as a dish with rice as part of a meal. �
