I want to again recognize the important contributions that our local businesses make to the high quality of life we enjoy here in Redwood Shores. Redwood City has for many years worked hard to create a great business climate, and we are fortunate to have many great business neighbors here in the Shores. We have large companies like EA and Oracle and satellite offices of several multi-nationals, but we also have many smaller businesses which provide important services to our local community. Many of these smaller businesses, with their advertising sponsorship, support RSCAs communications outreach to the Shores. This includes the (significant) cost of printing & mailing these issues of The PILOT every month to every household and most businesses in the Shores all at no cost to you. Please look carefully through each issue and take special note of those businesses which support RSCA in The PILOT. Make an effort to patronize these local businesses whenever possible.
Anyone who is thinking of an addition to their home and has questions, please check your local HOA and either RSOA or RSCA websites for information. Changing paint colors or landscaping requires checking with your local CCRs. Every home in the Shores has CCRs of some type. Commercial vehicles should not be parked on Redwood Shores streets overnight. Be aware that the police have been enforcing this law, and Boats and Trailers are not allowed to be parked in driveways.

Support Our Shores BUSINESS Neighbors

Its not too early to be thinking about this years general election on November 5th. This year we will be electing three members of the Redwood City Council and three members of the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees. Shores residents are among the most civic-minded people in this local area. Being a voter is one of the most basic ways each of us exercise our most fundamental right to express our opinions about the politics of our nation, our state, and especially our local governance. Being a voter also increases the importance of the Shores with local government officials. They look closely at how many of those eligible actually vote, and the higher that percentage the more influence we can have as a community. If you at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen, please make sure that you are registered to vote! If you havent yet registered or need more information, go to www.shapethefuture.org where you can register on-line and find information about the candidates and issues that will be on the November ballot. Also make the decision now whether you plan to vote by mail or go to the polls on election day, November 5th. If you are not already signed up for Vote by Mail, you can do that at the same web site, too. Whatever your politics, this promises to be an important local election, and you want to be part of it. So, BE A VOTER !

SUMMER SERIES 2013!

The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District announced today the appointment of Dr. Michael P. Milliken as Superintendent. The Districts Board of Trustees voted to approve Dr. Milliken, who currently serves as Director of Secondary Education in the Palo Alto Unified School District, at its meeting on June 6, 2013. Dr. Milliken will join the District formally beginning on July 1, 2013.

Belmont/RWS District Appoints Superintendent

The Board conducted a thorough search based on extensive advice and input from our community, said Robert L. Tashjian, President of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Milliken rose to the top of an impressive field.

Dr. Milliken said, I am grateful for the opportunity to be appointed Superintendent in Belmont-Redwood Shores. I hope to build upon the Districts strong history of excellent schools and help prepare its students for the challenges of the future.

Dr. Milliken began his career in public education as an elementary school teacher in San Diego in 1996. He subsequently served as an elementary teacher and then middle school math teacher in Maryland and was appointed as an elementary principal in Newark, California, in 2005. Dr. Milliken joined the Palo Alto Unified School District as the principal at Jordan Middle School in 2008. He served as principal for three years and is credited with creating a collaborative environment and positive school culture.

In 2011, Dr. Milliken was elevated to Director of Secondary Education in the Palo Alto Unified School District and has been responsible for supervising Palo Altos two high schools, as well as three middle schools and adult school. In his current position, Dr. Milliken built consensus around a variety of issues to support student achievement, addressing concerns of teachers, parents, and staff. I have learned that its important to listen to diverse perspectives and identify common interests when addressing difficult issues in education. We all want the best for our students, he said.

Dr. Milliken received a BA in Political Science, and an MA and Ph.D. in Educational Administration, all from Stanford University. For two years after college, he taught English in Indonesia to students preparing to become teachers. Dr. Milliken, who is married with two daughters, has coached youth softball and soccer, and has served on the board of the educational foundation for his daughters school district. I would like to thank all those in our community who participated in assisting with the search, said Mr. Tashjian. The Board is excited to begin a new chapter for our schools and is looking forward to Dr. Millikens leadership.

Its time that someone speaks up about the Redwood Shores

I purchased my home in the Shores, 17 years ago; attracted to the pristine environment including the well maintained homes, manicured landscape, clean streets and living on the water.

Once I arranged my furniture it was time to add some unique touches to my house to distinguish it from every other house in the Shores. However, much to my chagrin, I came to understand what it really means to purchase a home in a Planned Development Community.

Not only did I need to consult my Homeowners Association, but the Redwood Shores Owners Association to get approval for certain exterior modifications I wanted to make.

Serving our Clients Since 1998

Ive been pet sitting long enough to know there is no such thing as a routine day. What may seem to start out as a routine day, can change rapidly. Often the problems are not always animal related! Ive had clients forget their cell phone chargers, only to call me frantically asking me to send the missing charger to them via overnight delivery. We have also had clients call us asking us to find their passports and to find their forgotten credit cards. Yes, weve overnighted it all! Many years ago I had a client who was out of town. It seems their neighbor had called them and water was gushing from the clients yard into the neighbors yard. I drove over, not knowing what Im going to be able to do Im a pet sitter, not a plumber I kept telling myself. I arrived to find the neighbor anxiously awaiting my arrival. And, true to her report, there was water spilling onto her property. A small retaining wall covered in ivy, separated the two homes. I was a little baffled because there was no sign of water in my clients front yard, but there was definitely water spilling from somewhere. I started looking in the ivy, where the water was pouring from. I uncover a faucet that had somehow been turned on. Not only that, the faucet was on the neighbors property and not on my clients property. Many years ago, I arrived at a clients house only to hear the voice of my client on the phone. I called out to him several times, so that I would not scare him. Imagine his surprise when I walked into the living room, only to find him sitting in his briefs talking on the phone! The client was definitely more embarrassed than I was! One Christmas holiday I arrived at a clients only to hear the sound of running water. I checked all the faucets. I even checked to make sure the sprinkler system was not running. Everything was in order. Still I kept hearing the sound of running water. As I walked into the laundry room, my shoe made a squishing sound. The water heater had started leaking and there was water all over the floor of the laundry room. The client was very grateful we arrived when we did as it saved their floors from damage. You will never hear a pet sitter say they have just a routine day, because we never know what we will encounter!

A Routine DayNOT!

In a nutshell when you own a home in a planned development community you have agreed to adhere to a set of rules that dictate the process for making any exterior modifications to your home. In fact, you are liable under the law.

I think that living in a planned development community is analogous to a love - hate relationship.

Patricia Meacham, Redwood Shores resident

Visit: www.rsoa.info when you ready to make exterior home improvements.

Maybe its time for all of us to feel empowered, embrace the benefits of living in the Shores and thank the individuals who volunteer their valuable time to make Redwood Shores an ideal community for everyone. RSOA welcomes your participation.

With my new feeling of enlightenment, I am a Board member on my local HOA. More importantly, I recently joined RSOAs Board so that I can contribute to preserving the uniqueness of our community.

On the other hand, I love where I live. Redwood Shores remains a community that many people want to move to and as such we enjoy some of the highest resale values in San Mateo County. We live in a community where children feel safe, and the common areas are well maintained. We can walk, ride bikes and feel close to nature - I feel like I am on vacation when I come home, and I want to keep it that way. This feeling is due to the hard work of our HOAs and RSOA.

Its my house so I should be able to do what I want to it. I have spent an inordinate amount time thinking about how to get around the CC&Rs, and I hate the fact that I own the property but I have to ask for permission for some types of exterior improvements.

What: AT&T is pleased to announce plans to build a wireless facility right here in Redwood Shores! Our engineers have identified a significant coverage gap in your neighborhood, and Redwood Shores residents have expressed a need for enhanced wireless data and voice services. This cell site will enable residents to enjoy a more robust wireless network, one that will better connect them to the people and information they want, whenever and wherever they are. Wireless connectivity is critical to personal and professional relationships. It is also critical in emergencies: approximately 70% of 911 calls are made with wireless phones. Where: AT&T Mobility seeks to improve wireless service from Bridge Parkway on the South side of Redwood Shores, Marin Parkway on the West, Shearwater Parkway on the North, and the coastline waters on Waterside Circle. The proposed cell site will also provide enhanced indoor coverage to the Redwood Shores community.

AT&T Plans to Improve Wireless Service in Redwood Shores!

Page 11

How: The proposed cell site will resemble a pine tree, and will be designed to blend into the existing landscape of trees. It will be 70 feet tall, 22 feet wide at its widest point, and will contain 12 antennas. These antennas will provide residents with 4G LTE service, allowing faster downloads of data, more reliable voice calls and more dependable access to emergency services. Community Meeting: In order to learn more about the proposed cell site and how it will impact your life and immediate neighborhood, please attend a Community Meeting led by AT&T representatives. The meeting will be held on July 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m., at the following location: Redwood Shores Branch Library Community Room, 399 Marine Parkway , Redwood Shores, CA 94065.We encourage you to attend the meeting to learn more about this exciting innovation, and to find out how you can help make these plans a reality. Please direct questions to Shiyama Clunie, Area Manager, AT&T External Affairs, at sr2597@att.com.

by Kelly Song When teenagers in the Shores talk about summer, it has everything to do with social media, the internet, and television. Everywhere I go, students are always ranting about their favorite soap opera or the latest post on Facebook.

Summer Bummer

There are plenty of places around the neighborhood for the average teen to have fun in. I know that during the summer, I tend to exercise less than I should on a daily basis. The

For the teens listening right now, lets take a look at life beyond your computer screen for a moment. My guess is, theres a bike in the backyard that needs riding and a very lonely dog who needs walking. So why keep them waiting?

As a rising sophomore at Carlmont High School, I never hear much argument about how social media and television is taking over our lives. Yes, maybe an occasional complaint from a parent now and then, but nothing more; which is why I feel the need to voice to my fellow peers: Go outside and have some fun!

What we need to realize, though, is that the summertime is an opportunity for much more than just cyberspace.

trails by the bay are great places to go jogging or biking, or even just walking for those who enjoy a lazier summer. For the pet owners (or maybe not), there are numerous parks around the Shores community which range from wide expanses of grass to small fields with playgrounds.

- is our Citys only year round farmers market, so you can always get great, fresh produce and other products, even in the middle of winter! The Shores Farmers Market is open every Friday from 3 pm - 7 pm, in the parking lot of the Redwood Shores Branch Library, 399 Marine Parkway.

The Redwood Shores Farmers Market

Summertime is a great opportunity to enjoy some quality family and friend time as well. So if your family is heading out to a picnic or simply taking a walk, dont hesitate to join in! If your friends offer to spend the day with you, chances are theyre much more fun to be around than your computer. Try suggesting places like an outdoor concert or amusement park instead of a movie.

Finally, summer is a great time to give yourself some room for relaxing. Believe it or not, the answer to stress-free is not your phone. In fact, staring at a bright screen all day will most likely tire you out even more. Instead, try listening to music in a quiet park or in your garden.

Enjoy the sun and the blue sky, and by blue I dont mean Tumbler blue. This summer, make it a goal to be outside more often. Trust me, it will pay off!

By the way, they dont harm the grass. Canada Geese mate for life but typically dont reproduce until their 4th year. They nest on the ground, building where it will be difficult for a predator to approach without being seen. The female builds

For those who dont know a goose from a duck, the Canada Goose is a large, striking bird with a long neck, and black head with distinctive white cheeks or kerchief. The black neck fades to a light tan breast and dark brown back. Like all water birds, Canada Geese have large webbed feet and can be seen silently drifting along, usually in groups, on the main lagoon. That is, they drift along until our resident swan finds them and orders them out of his pond. Then it is back to the grass where they forage for the tender new shoots for hours at a time.

As anyone who lives or works in the Shores knows, the Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis) enjoys a much wider range than just Canada. Turns out that while they are by nature migratory, quite a few have made the Shores their permanent yearround home. No need to fly north or south when everything you need is right here, especially lots and lots of grass a favorite food. Despite the problems they create on our sidewalks, they are handsome and make quite an impressive site when lifting off in a V formation, honking as they ascend, powerful wings beating on the air.

Oh Canada! We Wish You Would take Back Your Geese

the nest. The male guards it. At about the same time that the baby goslings are born (MayJuly), the adults lose their flight feathers, known as the summer molt. Curiously, they regain flight about the same time that the goslings are able to fly.

I suspect many Shores residents dont know that Canada Geese cant fly during June-July. So, when you see geese in the road during the summer, give em a brake. They dont fly off the road because they cant. As for the mess they make on our sidewalks, well, spotting adult geese leading their goslings in a line, usually with one parent at the front, and the other at the rear, is a very pretty, and unique, sight in an urban neighborhood.

Remember: Teach your children to not touch, feed or annoy birds or other wildlife. They are a valuable asset to our community. Please pick up plastic bags and other plastic refuse. Birds can get entangled in them and starve. References: Sequoia Audubon Society, Wikipedia, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology website www.allaboutbirds.org By Ramona Ambrozic

PERIOSTAT AND GUM DISEASE Periostat: a new drug for the war against gum disease The leading treatments for gum disease are scaling and root planning (deep cleaning of the gums) and surgical gum treatment in more advanced cases. Antibiotics are sometimes used in conjunction with these other therapies, often with the goal of killing bacteria that is causing the gum disease. Recently, there is a new drug, which instead focuses on controlling our bodys reaction to these bacteria. The new drug is called Periostat. To understand how Periostat works, we need to have some understanding of how bacteria in the mouth cause the loss of gum tissue and bone around the teeth. Oral bacteria cause a chronic infection in the mouth of people with gum disease. This infection causes the body to release chemical substances called cytokines, which in turn cause a cascade of reactions within the gum and surrounding tissue. One of the substances released is a family of enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). One of the MMPs is collagenase, an enzyme that breaks down the gum and bone. Periostat is a new application of a not so new drug, doxycycline. Doxycycline is a derivative of tetracycline. Periostat is a 20 mg capsule of doxycycline that should be taken twice a day over several months. Periostat helps to inhibit the bodys production of the destructive collagenase. Unlike higher doses of doxycycline or tetracycline that can be used to prevent the multiplication of some bacteria associated with gum disease. Periostat protects our bodys over reaction to bacteria, and its lower dose has far fewer side effects. Periostat is not intended to replace the need for excellent oral hygiene or other traditional gum treatment. It is a drug that clinical research has shown that will modestly improve gum disease when taken in conjunction with professional deep cleaning of the gums and a thorough oral hygiene regimen.

I am not one to exaggerate, and like to base things on facts. Three times over the past few years, I have had to jump back to prevent myself from being hit by a speeding car after I was one-third of the way (not one step) through the intersection at Shell & Redwood Shores Parkway and Shell & Marine World Parkway. In all cases, the drivers saw me and sped up to get

Sadly those days seem to be gone, and seeing dead animals hit by cars has become common. In a recent one-week period, my neighbor and I personally witnessed four dead geese on Redwood Shores Parkway, hit by cars. When I asked a Parks & Recreation worker if he could pick up the dead goose, he told me he recently picked up a baby goose hit by a car. These incidents were in a four-block area ranging from Radio to past the Fire Station, and totaled FIVE in one week vs. one-two in one year!

I have lived in the Shores since 1990, and have seen it explode with housing, people, companies, schools, churches, shopping, dining and traffic! I drive along Redwood Shores Parkway and walk my dog daily. When I first moved here, the bird, turtle and rabbit life was even more abundant than it is now. We had diving pelicans, swimming turtles and a gazillion more rabbits. Back then it would be a very rare and disturbing sight to see a goose, rabbit or even squirrel hit by a car.

A Life and Death Matter

through the crosswalk before I did instead of waiting. I was shocked and stunned.

As we all know, geese are one of the slowest walking animals on the planet. These accidents seemed to have occurred in broad daylight by how fresh the wounds appeared and under dry weather conditions. I called the Humane Society and in a few cases no one, which includes the driver, had reported the incident or had the decency to ask for the poor animal to be picked up. My hope and plea is that we all take a deep breath, reflect and SLOW DOWN AND BE CAREFUL. Do we need to put in speed bumps and cameras to force us to slow down? Is what ever we are rushing to so life & death important that it justifies killing an innocent animal or person? This could easily be you, a child or beloved pet next. If you care, please discuss this with your friends and family, and do your part in correcting this dangerous trend. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Pain can be described as discomfort, distress or even agony that is a result of an irritation of a nerve ending. The goals of pain management are to decrease the intensity and/or frequency of pain and restore the patients physical activity and overall function. Pharmaceutical analgesic medications often mask the pain and lead to unnecessary sideeffects and complications.

Acupuncture for Pain Management

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain is defined as Qi or Blood Stagnation, or both. Effective pain relief and acupuncture treatment goals require the activation of Qi and blood, removal of the stagnation, thus resolving the cause of the pain. Identifying the type of pain (sharp, stabbing, dull, aching, fixed or migratory, sensitivity to cold, heat or pressure) helps differentiate soft tissue injuries verses structural damage.

Fine, sterile needles are placed in acupuncture points which have been mapped out by Chinese practitioners for over 2000 years. These specific points have been proven to have electrical sensitivity and effective in treating specific health problems. Each acupuncture point stimulates Qi. Qi is the basic foundation of Oriental Medicine, it is known as energy or life force. It flows through the body along channels or meridians along the arms, legs, torso and connects to all of our major organs. Once a diagnosis is made, the most appropriate acupuncture points will be chosen for the patient. Each treatment is individualized per patient. Dr. Catherine Nghiem-Shum practices in Redwood Shores.

Athletes always ask whether they should use ice or heat on an injury. Ice is great for decreasing inflammation, managing swelling, and numbing fresh injuries. When ice is applied to an injured area, it decreases then increases the blood flow, alters the nerve conduction velocity, and decreases the rate of metabolic activity associated with the inflammatory process. An injury that is warm to the touch, swollen, or red would respond better to ice than to heat. Heat is used to decrease muscle spasms and increase muscle and joint flexibility. The application of heat to a painful area increases blood flow, the rate of metabolic activity (both healing and destructive activity), and tissue mobility. Additionally, when muscles, tendons, and ligaments are heated prior to stretching, whether its through physical activity or the application of heat, the tissue length gained through stretching last longer. Ice should be applied for 15-20 minutes. Some studies show that greater benefits result from applying ice for 20 minutes, removing the ice for 10 minutes, then reapplying for 10 minutes. Heat should also be applied for 15-20 minutes and should never be used on recently injured tissue. Bottom line - use ice for fresh injuries and use heat to warm up tight muscles. Its difficult to make generalizations about the treatment of all injuries. The best advice is to seek the guidance of a medical professional to address your unique situation. If you have any questions, On the Move Physical Therapy offers complimentary injury evaluations. Written by Alyssa Herrera-Set, DPT

Invest in the convenience of private dog training in your home. Jean Cary, Dog Tutor 650-593-9622 www.service-dog-tutor.com

Grow your puppy into a wellmannered dog that doesnt pull on the leash, comes when he is called and doesnt jump on you. Teach your dog good behavior before you take him on vacation.

When you set smaller goals, you will see your dogs progress towards the ultimate goal and not get frustrated so easily.

If your dog gets excited and barks and jumps at meal time, you have the perfect opportunity to teach him to sit and stay quietly before you allow him to eat.

Use one of the dogs meals per day for training. In a rush? Just give him a handful of food for each behavior you ask him to do. On days you have more time, put the kibble in a bag and feed him a few pieces as you put him through his exercises. Just walking with kibble as a reward for loose leash walking will result in a big reduction in tugging in just two weeks. You will be amazed at how focused the dog becomes on you and your cues when his dinner is at stake!

Looking for a motivation to exercise more? Have your dog accompany you when you exercise and cue him to do behaviors such as sit and down and stay while you do leg lifts, sit ups or whatever on a par course. This is great for teaching your dog to ignore outside distractions. Ten minutes of roller blading with the dog on a chest harness will tire out most adult dogs, so they will focus on your commands.

You will be relieved to learn that practicing in five to ten minute sessions with your dog twice a day will help him learn a behavior more quickly than longer sessions. Do his training at the same time each day and it will become a routine for both of you. If various family members are involved in the training, having a simple chart to check off practices will make sure you get back on track if you miss a day or two due to your hectic schedule. You can also use a seven day pill container and a coin as a reminder of when the dog has been trained. Just move the coin forward each day the dog is trained.

A common challenge that all dog owners share is to try to incorporate their dogs training into their busy schedules. Suddenly the whole week has passed without any opportunities for the dog to practice the skills hes learned in class. As class time approaches, you may feel guilty and skip class sessions because youre embarrassed by the lack of your dogs progress. This situation can be avoided if you concentrate on practicing two or three behaviors a week in short bursts of training which can be part of your normal daily route routine.

-You have always dressed to please your boss/spouse/mother/sister/best friend. Its definitely time to break out of default thinking by discovering your personal style and dressing in a way that makes you happy, that lets your personality shine through. Lifes too short to wear someone elses clothes - make sure youre dressing for who you are now.

-Youre dressing for a time in your life that doesnt fit you now. You used to work in an office now you work at home. You used to be a stay-athome mom now youre embarking on a new career. You used to live in an urban environment now you live by the lake. Usually these life changes automatically spark a wardrobe change-up, but sometimes people are unsure how to make that change and/or they try to make do with what theyve always worn. Its time to break out of default thinking!

-You were told as a child that you were too fat/thin/tall/short to ever wear. It might have been your parents or perhaps a friend or well-meaning teacher. Chances are it wasnt a wardrobe professional, but nonetheless that thought is stuck in your head. If youre replaying a tape of wardrobe or body image thoughts from long ago, its time to break out of default thinking!

Most of us know that our phones/iPads come with default settings those that are set by the factory and we quickly move in to customize the features to our own likes to what will serve us best. Unfortunately, when it comes to personal style, some people are stuck in their default setting. Theres no reason to be stuck customize your wardrobe to meet your personal needs. Do any of these sound familiar? If so, it may be time for you to break out of default.

The Therapists Corner

On any given day I do a lot of the following: use my iPhone, laptop and PC to check email from home and my two offices, check voice mail messages from each office, return phone calls and emails from clients and periodically check the news and sports on the internet just because I can. Of course, many people do much more than I do when it comes to electronics. Lets not forget social media sites such as facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google +, or YouTube. Have I forgotten any? Probably at least several hundred or so. And what about texting? We truly are available 24 hours a day in ways that seem to increase daily. Now, before you start thinking that Im just an out of touch aging baby boomer I do want to say that Im constantly amazed and impressed by all that computer technology allows us to do. We can now connect with others in ways that just a few years ago seemed almost unimaginable. Applications such as Skype and Face Time once seemed only possible on the Jetsons. We can now talk to and see family and friends miles away from home without paying the expense of travel and taking time off from work to do so. But, there is a time when enough is enough. Yes, we can connect with others from around the globe from the comfort of our bedrooms, and compete in video games with people well never meet in person. However, lets not forget that we have family down the hall and neighbors and friends who we can actually see in person. It is also important not to overlook potential health risks as well. It is known that too much electronic use can contribute to headaches, back and wrist pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, and sleep disturbance. Depression and anxiety can sometimes also be a consequence. Although we may be connecting with others all day long, too much social media contact can actually lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. I am not suggesting that we cut ourselves off from the use of electronics. Twenty-first century technology has become too important in our lives to suddenly turn back the clock. What I am suggesting, however, is unplugging for brief periods of time. Go for a walk or bike ride, read a book, be with family and friends in person. Try going to dinner with all smartphones off. How many times have you been to a restaurant and seen everyone at a table on their phones instead of speaking to each other? Probably plenty of times. So, take the challenge. What better time than the summer to unplug for a while? Who knows, you may actually find that youll like taking a break from being connected 24/7.

Summer is Finally Here ! Im longing for a good old-fashioned picnic, complete with a blanket spread out on cool grass beneath a large shade tree, and lots of open sunny spaces for family and friends to romp around with the dog and a Frisbee, or engage in a lively game of bocce ball or horseshoes or croquet. Of course, a picnic basket and cooler with plenty of tasty food and refreshing drinks is also a necessity! Heres a family recipe that our daughter first made for our granddaughters first birthday party held where else but in a lovely park near their home. Its still a favorite goto recipe for picnic fare or simply quick weekend hanging around the house fare! And it goes wonderfully with Inas potato salad. Picnic Chicken 10 to 12 pieces of bone-in skin on chicken 2 eggs, lightly beaten cup milk 1 cup unseasoned fine dry bread crumbs cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoons dried oregano kosher salt freshly ground pepper

WINE APPRECIATION
Food and wine pairing remains a lively topic. Conventional wisdom from the high priests of food and wine matrimony assert for the perfect union to occur there should be a synergistic coupling of their parallel components (acidity, sweetness, bitterness). This wedded bliss should also consider the wines age, alcohol level, oak level, tannins and other aspects, like the foods mode of preparation (roasting, braising, grilling, etc.).

Ina has an interesting way of cooking potatoes for the salad. She places them in a pot of water with 2 tablespoons of salt, and brings them to a boil. She cooks the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Then, this is the interesting part - she drains the potatoes in a colander, and then places the colander over the empty pot with a towel over the potatoes. This steams the potatoes until they are perfectly cooked. So, while the potatoes are steaming, mix the dressing. Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk/milk or white wine, mustards, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and teaspoon pepper. When the potatoes are cool enough to work with, cut them into half or quarters, depending on the size. Put the potatoes in a large bowl and mix in the dressing. Mix in the celery and onion, toss and chill for at least 2 hours to let the flavors combine. Enjoy!

Old-Fashioned Potato Salad From Barefoot Contessa at Home by Ina Garten 3 pounds small red potatoes kosher salt 1 cup mayonnaise cup buttermilk, milk, or white wine 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 Tablespoons whole-grain mustard cup chopped fresh dill Freshly ground black pepper cup medium diced celery cup small-diced red onion

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare two baking sheets by lightly greasing or spraying with cooking spray. Stir together the milk and egg in a shallow bowl or pie plate and set aside. In another shallow bowl or pie plate combine the bread crumbs, cheese, oregano and teaspoon of salt and teaspoon of pepper. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken pieces, and dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Pat the crumbs so they cling to all sides of the chicken. Place the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is lightly browned, about 45 to 50 minutes.

Each of the aboveconventional wisdom, personal preferences, ancient pontifications, or dominant flavorsoffers a suitable pathway through the food and wine pairing maze. Nevertheless, I should remind you that there is only one consistently effective ingredient in the successful pairing of food and wine. One that heightens the appreciation of the food on your plate and the wine in your glass, and the one that really brings it all together: the company of your good friends.

Take chicken for example; or veal, pork or other white-wineonly foods. Depending on how each is cooked, spiced and sauced, any number of red or white wines could be acceptable partners. If sauted in olive oil and finished with capers, green olives, artichokes, and lemon zest, the dominant flavors, and palatal effect, point to something like Sauvignon Blanc, Spains Verdejo and similar white wines with a lively profile that will stand up to those components. However, if braised with onions, garlic, mushrooms, thyme, bacon bits and a splash of broth, this rich, earthy combination virtually begs for a medium/full bodied red wine.

So, where does that leave us? With a great deal of wiggle room, really. You can even resuscitate the ancient proclamation Red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat, fish and poultry. At least as starting points, for theyre frequently reliable and safe choices for table top compatibility. Red meat, with its rich, abundant texture and customary methods of preparation, virtually always points to red wine, while fish and poultry, with their delicate flesh and smaller scaled preparations, can most always be enjoyed with most white wines. However, there are times when you can and should slip out of those gastronomic straitjackets, by being mindful of a foods most expressive flavors, which is typically determined by sauces, gravies, salsas, herbs, spices, and other flavor-determining ingredients.

However, those same gurus, when nudged, will admit there are no marble tablet dos and donts, and most importantly, no single best wine for a specific dish. Also, they will agree that ones personal preferences should override the recitations of any textbook perfect match. And finally, and most importantly, assuming any recipe, with whatever cooking method or herbs and spices utilized, they will admit that numerous wines will be compatible with it.
