Prepare an authentic charcuterie party platter
(NC) The popularity of artisanal charcuterie meats has exploded in Canada recently with double-digit sales growth, so just watch as your party guests line up to get a taste of your own, chef-guided charcuterie platter. These savoury plates make a perfect appetizer, finger food dish, or even a light meal. But it is also important to combine the right accompaniments and wine with that platter. Chef D, television personality and the corporate chef for Piller’s Fine Foods (a Waterloo, Ontario company), recommends the following elements for the perfect charcuterie platter. “Aged cheddars, three to seven years old, go well with salamis,” he explains, “as do triple cream brie and raw milk goat cheese. And one of my favourites is the Piller’s Charcuterie Westphalian Ham (one of three new, hand-crafted artisanal meats offered by the company), wrapped around parmesan cheese.” In terms of breads to pair with the charcuterie meats, Chef D recommends using “whole wheat, seven-grain or sun dried tomato flat breads, or savoury crisps.” He notes that locally made wines go particularly well with the artisanal meats, and that “chardonnays pair amazingly well because they are aged in oak and this brings out the smoky flavours of the meats.” “For red wine, the light acid and peppery flavour of Pinot Noir pairs well with the savouriness of the meats, and for beer, pale ale is fantastic,” he enthuses. Chef D also suggests adding some colour and flavour to the platter with red and green grapes, walnuts, tomato-chili or roasted red pepper spreads, and honey as an innovative garnish. One final suggestion is to serve the spread on a unique platter, and that charcuterie boards made from old wine barrels are a very nice touch.

AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, no crib for his bed The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
www.kelownacapnews.com X7
Frosty the Snowman Was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal
Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying catch me if you can
Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day
He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler “Stop!” Frosty the Snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying “Don’t you cry I’ll be back again some day.”
There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around
Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow
Frosty the Snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the Snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So he said let’s run And we’ll have some fun Now before I melt away

Said the night wind to the little lamb “Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite.” Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy “Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the the sea With a voice as big as the the sea.”
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king “Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold.” Said the king to the people everywhere “Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people, everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light.”
THE HISTORY OF “Do you hear what I hear?” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” is a Christmas song written in October 1962, with lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne Baker.The pair, married at the time, wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It has sold THE
tens of millions of copies and has been covered by hundreds of artists. Regney wrote the lyrics for the song, while Shayne composed the music in October 1962. This was an unusual arrangement for the two writers. Usually it

was Shayne who wrote the lyrics for their songs while Regney composed the music, as they did when they wrote a song based on the classic children’s song “Rain Rain Go Away”. Regney was inspired to write the lyrics “Said the night wind to the little lamb, ‘Do you see what I see?’” and “Pray for peace, people everywhere” after watching babies being pushed in strollers on the sidewalks of New York City. Shayne stated in an interview years later that neither could personally perform
the entire song at the time they wrote it because of the emotions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis “Our little song broke us up. You must realize there was a threat of nuclear war at the time.” The song describes how word of the birth of the baby Jesus is relayed to higher upon ever higher authority. The message originates with the night wind, which whispers it to a small lamb. The lamb reports the message to his shepherd boy, who in turn conveys the news to the mighty king. The king eventually spreads the message to the “people everywhere”.

Our favorite peppermint candy at Christmas
CHRISTMAS COOKIES & CAROLS
Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Capital News
The Christmas Candy Cane originated in Germany about 250 years ago. They started as straight white sugar sticks. A story says that a choirmaster, in 1670, was worried about the children sitting quietly all through the long Christmas nativity service. So he gave them something to eat to keep them quiet! As he wanted to remind them of Christmas, he made them into a ‘J’ shape like a shepherds crook, to remind them of the shepherds that visited the baby Jesus at the first christmas. However, the earliest records of ‘candy canes’ comes from over 200 years later, so the story, although rather nice, probably isn’t true! Sometime around 1900 the red stripes were added and they were flavored with peppermint or wintergreen. Sometimes other Christian meanings are giving to the parts of the canes. The ‘J’ can also mean Jesus. The white of the cane can represent the purity of Jesus Christ and the red stripes are for the blood he shed when he died on the cross. The peppermint flavor can represent the hyssop plant that was used for purifying in the Bible. Around 1920, Bob McCormack, from Georgia, USA, started making canes for his friends and family. They became more and more popular and he started his own business called Bob’s Candies. Bob McCormack’s brotherin-law, Gregory Harding Keller, who was a Catholic priest, invented the Keller Machine that made turning straight candy sticks into curved candy canes automatic! In 2005, Bob’s Candies was bought by Farley and Sathers but they still make candy canes!

Westphalian ham and arugula pizza (NC) Make this perfect party pizza for your special holiday guests. INGREDIENTS: Prepare pizza dough for one 9x12-inch pizza, or use recipe below. PIZZA TOPPING Flour, for dusting 50 ml (¼ cup) extra virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 ml (½ tsp.) fresh rosemary, chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 75 ml (½ cup) part-skim ricotta cheese 250 ml (I cup) mozzarella cheese, grated 500 ml (2 cups) baby arugula 1 small shallot, thinly sliced Juice of ½ lemon 4 slices Piller’s Charcuterie Westphalian Ham, cut in half lengthwise
PIZZA DOUGH (makes three 9x12” or 11” round pizzas) 425 to 500 ml (1¾ to 2 cups) all-purpose flour 250 ml (1 cup) cake and pastry flour 11 ml (2 ¼ tsp.) instant or bread-machine dry yeast (or 1 envelope) 5 ml (1 tsp.) salt 300 ml (1¼ cups) very warm water
DIRECTIONS PIZZA DOUGH (FOR 3 PIZZAS) To make dough, stir together 1¾ cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour, cake flour, yeast and salt in a mixer fitted with a dough hook; make a well in the centre. Add water. Mix on medium speed until all flour is incorporated into dough; add remaining flour as needed to have soft, slightly sticky dough. Alternatively mix by hand. Turn out on well-floured surface. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Divide into thirds. Place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C). Gently flatten dough into a round or rectangle on a lightly floured surface, creating a rim. Transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet; slide dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl with garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove pizza from oven, brush with the olive oil mixture and top with the ricotta and mozzarella. Return the pizza to the oven; bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, toss the arugula and shallot in a large bowl with the lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizza with the arugula salad, Westphalian ham and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

(NC) Canadians are looking to cut down on their sugar intake, but it’s often difficult during the holidays. Now there is an easy way to enjoy holiday treats and also reduce your calories. By substituting new Truvia Baking Blend, a blend of sugar and a stevia-based, Truvia calorie-free sweetener for sugar, you can obtain the same sweet results and consume 75 per cent fewer calories per serving than sugar. • ¼ cup light olive oil • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp Truvía Baking Blend • 2 tsp vanilla extract • ½ tsp almond extract • 2 eggs • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour • ¼ tsp salt • 1 tsp baking powder • ½ cup dried cranberries • 1 ½ cups pistachio kernels

1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Mix the oil and Truvía Baking Blend in a large bowl. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts, and then beat in the eggs. 2. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Mix in cranberries and nuts by hand. 3. Divide dough in half.
