"Winter is a season of recovery and preparation." ~ Paul Theroux
Growing up on Long Island, I can recall the cold winters when I would long for and daydream about the first bloom of spring. I would relish the vacation my family and I would take each year during winter break to enjoy someplace warm and sunny on the beach.
Though I am still not a fan of temperatures that drop below 40 degrees, as I have matured, I have come to appreciate each of the four seasons that we are blessed to experience here on Long Island. When you lean into moments, you can make them beautiful and memorable. Activities like sledding or snowboarding with my son, sitting by a warm crackling fire with a blanket and a good book, whipping up heartier meals, making snow angels and sipping a mug of hot coca are just some of the cherished moments I now look forward to during the winter months. February is the month of fluffy pajamas and socks, warm mittens and scarfs, and taking in the splendor of a Winter Wonderland on our beautiful and magical island. This month, I will be throwing caution to the wind and going ice skating for the first time in years. Wish me luck!

Preparing for a Sledding Adventure
With so much in the way of art galleries, theatre, music venues and local museums, winter is a wonderful time to take in all of the culture that Long Island has to offer its residents.
On the cusp of winter transitioning to the first sprout of spring, Irish Long Islanders will gather with friends and family to enjoy the festivities surrounding the St. Patrick's Day holiday.
Stay warm, and stay close to the people you love . . .

inter holidays are made all the more enjoyable with the addition of some outdoor recreation. Sleighs and sleds are par for the seasonal course, especially when a bounty of snow is in the forecast.
“Family Owned & Operated Since 1953”
Sledding has been part of snowy celebrations for ages. Sledding is a fun-filled activity, but it can be made an even better time, and a little safer, if revelers learn a little more about it.

Layer up: It is best to dress in layers when going sledding Even if it seems warm at home, it may be colder and windier at the top of hills. Sweating when it’s cold out can increase a person’s risk for hypothermia. According to experts at Timberline Trails, a person who works up a sweat and comes in contact with ambient air when taking a break will feel an immediate chill. This is called evaporative
danger, and can be remedied by dressing in layers and trying to stay dry.
Invest in a helmet: Sledding requires the use of a helmet. At high speeds, a blow to the head can cause a concussion or worse. Let others go first: Wait until some sledders have already gone downhill, allowing them to compact the snow, which should make for a smooth ride.
Choose safe hills, such as those that are free of bare spots, holes, trees, and obstructions, and do not end abruptly at a road. Hills with a long, flat areas at the end make for easy, safe stopping. Safety first: Put safety first when sledding. Sled during the daytime so visibility is better. Keep arms and legs on the sled, and only sled feetfirst, advises the National Safety Council.
By keeping these guidelines in mind, sledders can make sure this popular winter activity is as safe as it is fun.
353757N0206
If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit. Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members. No appeal fees. No fine print.
Sled styles: Sleds come in many different styles, each with its own advantages. Sleds with metal blades will work like ice skates, balancing riders’ weight on two metal runners. These sleds can work well during icy conditions or with hard-packed snow. Toboggans can fit multiple people, which can increase the fun factor and downhill speeds. Saucer-style sleds are good for one or two people. Foam liners on some saucers can absorb shock for riders, making those downhill bumps a little easier on the backside. Keep in mind that sleds with steering mechanisms are easier to control, which can equate to safer sledding.

Enjoy More Stree-Free Time with the Kids
V
acations are short, and parents need to make the most of this quality time with their kids. Thankfully, the following tips and tricks can help parents cut down on their stress so they can enjoy more quality time together as a family.
Create a schedule. Jot down family activities and commitments on a large calendar and keep it on the fridge so everyone can see what’s coming up. This will help give the kids a sense of security and routine that’s missing during extended vacations, such as summer or winter breaks from school. Just be flexible, and make sure to schedule plenty of free time to relax and have quiet time with a book: Cut down on kitchen time. Don’t like having to choose between healthy and quick, easy meals? Look for simple, nutritious meal options that take much of the work out of cooking. For easy lunches and dinners you’ll feel good about serving the kids, try Mann’s Nourish Bowls. Ready in just a couple of minutes in your microwave, the meals were developed by chefs and feature superfood veggies like broccoli, sweet potato and kale. They also work as great side dishes to complete a fast and healthy meal. Plan special dates. Getting out of the house regularly doesn’t mean having to use up the family travel budget. Give the kids an

excuse to use up their energy and get some fresh air by scheduling some fun and free activities. Try going to your local skating rink or spending some time in the public library. Keep the kids on top of chores and other duties by presenting these activities as rewards for a job well done.
Did you know? Though certain elements of modern-day Valentine’s Day celebrations can be traced back to the 14th century, chocolate is not one of them.

An Environmentally Friendly St. Patrick's Day

reen is the color most associated with St. Patrick’s Day, and green also can be the primary mindset of hosts and hostesses when planning Paddy’s Day revelry. As celebrants prepare to pay homage to Irish culture and the accomplishments of St. Patrick, they can include eco-conscious practices in the festivities.
SINCE 1982
Done By Fire Fighters That Care! STAINLESS STEEL LINERS CLEANING & REPAIR SPECIALISTS
For many people, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to let loose and have a good time. Parades are abundant, and food and drink often are enjoyed in copious amounts. While this excess can make for a fun and raucous day, those who are conscious of their carbon footprints can scale back in some clever ways.

Enjoy a Local Brew. While many may prefer a pint of Ireland-brewed Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day, imported beers have larger carbon footprints than local beers thanks to trans-Atlantic shipping and delivery to nearby retailers. Instead of Guinness, consider a locallybrewed beer. Homespun breweries are a growing niche business in communities big and small. If you’re more adventurous, invest in a home-brewing kit and try your luck with your own flavor profile.

Skip the confetti or ticker tape. Attending a parade can be the pinnacle of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. When so many people gather in one place, there’s a greater propensity for waste and litter. Although garbage cannot be avoided, towns and cities can help curtail the mess by avoiding confetti, balloon drops and ticker tape. Birds routinely get snagged by balloon strings, or they may
inadvertently swallow popped latex balloons thinking they’re food. Confetti can wash away into storm drains or clog sewers. Bubbles, laser lights and other plastic- or paperfree items can be used instead and are better for the environment.
Invest in reusable products. If your’s is the go-to house for St. Patrick’s Day revelry, purchase tablecloths, dishes and cups that can be used again and again. This cuts down on the number of disposable items that get put in the trash and eventually find their way into landfills.
Transform your leftovers. Irish soda bread, corned beef, potatoes and much more are par for the culinary course come St. Patrick’s Day. Rather than discarding leftovers, consider recipes that will put those leftovers to good use. Dice up the corned beef to add to egg dishes or quiches. Post-Paddy’s Day sandwiches also make a delicious treat. Potatoes can be mashed and transformed into croquettes. Or they can be diced to make hash browns to go with those corned beefenhanced eggs. Spread soda bread with a sweet jam and instantly turn it into a dessert. Or crumble the bread to use in a delicious bread pudding. Splurge on an experience. Rather than material goods, if you want to set your party apart, invest in an experience that produces no waste. Contract with Uilleann pipers who can add a Celtic flair to the festivities. Although bagpipes are more widely associated with the Scottish, they have become synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day as well.

Stay Safe and Warm During Winter Workouts
A
thletes devoted to outdoor workouts do not abandon their routines when winter rears its chilly head. While it can be difficult to embrace the great outdoors when temperatures hover around freezing, maintaining your motivation bodes well for your fitness goals the rest of the year. Staying warm is a top priority for athletes who exercise outdoors during winter months. While there’s no guarantee winter winds won’t test your willpower, there are ways to stay warm when working out in colder climates.
For years, many people subscribed to the conventional wisdom that suggested people lose 40 to 45 percent of their body heat through their heads. But in 2008, researchers at Indiana University debunked that myth, suggesting that if humans lost that much heat through their heads, they would be just as cold when going outside without a hat on as they would be if they left home without wearing any pants. But wearing headgear when exercising outdoors is still a good idea, as the head is more sensitive to changes
in temperature than many other areas of the body. A wool hat you can pull down over your ears can protect them from getting too cold. Athletes may also want to consider ski masks or other facial covers that can protect their faces.
Layering has long been a reliable way to beat the cold when temperatures are at their lowest. But layering must be done correctly to be effective. When choosing your workout gear, choose an inner layer that will move moisture away from your skin. Cotton retains moisture, and that means your sweat will cling to your body and make you feel cold. Once you find a shirt made with moisture-wicking material to wear against your skin, look for a second layer that also wicks moisture so you can more effectively control your body temperature. Your outer layer should be capable of handling the elements, so look for something that is waterproof and wind-resistant.
choosing workout socks, avoid cotton socks that don’t wick moisture away from your feet. Acrylic can be more effective at wicking moisture away from your feet than cotton.
Know your weather reports. While it’s admirable to stay on course with your outdoor workouts in the winter, don’t allow your devotion to overtake your common sense.
Check the forecast before beginning an outdoor exercise, paying particular attention to the wind chill. According to the Mayo Clinic, frostbite can occur when skin is exposed to wind chill levels below minus 18 F for 30 minutes. If need be, shorten outdoor workout routines and find ways to exercise indoors when wind chills get dangerously low.
Feet can easily succumb to cold temperatures when exercising outdoors, but you can employ the same strategy with your socks that you do with your layers. When

Improve Indoor Air Quality in Winter
H
Poor indoor air quality can not only be uncomfortable, causing residents to experience headaches, dry eyes and nasal congestion, but also can be unhealthy. According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases, such as asthma.

outside.
omes tend to be stuffier in autumn and winter. As temperatures outside dip, windows are closed and air quality inside homes can suffer.
Though it’s not feasible or healthy to open windows when temperatures outside dip to near or below freezing, there are steps everyone can take to improve the indoor air quality in their homes. Add to your décor with plants. Plants provide both aesthetic and practical appeal to a home’s interior. Houseplants can clean and purify the air in a home, helping to remove formaldehyde, benzene and other toxins that can make indoor air unhealthy to breathe.
Watch what you are lighting up. Many homeowners know that smoking indoors drastically reduces indoor air quality, putting even nonsmokers at heightened risk of developing various respiratory ailments. Homeowners concerned about the indoor air quality in their homes should ban smoking inside, no matter how low temperatures dip
Purchase an air purifier. Air purifiers are beneficial year-round, helping to remove allergens and particles from a home. High-efficiency particulate air filters, known as HEPA filters, are extremely effective at removing airborne particulates from the air inside your home. Pay attention to pets. Like their owners, pets tend to spend more time indoors during the winter. That means more fur and pet dander, the skin flakes in an animal’s fur or hair that can trigger allergic reactions, is likely in your home during the winter than in the summer. To combat this, bathe your pets regularly in the winter, making sure to wash the animal’s bedding in hot water on a weekly basis as well.
Open windows when possible. Winter does not typically provide many opportunities to open the windows, but you might get a few chances to let some fresh air in through the windows during winter. Make the most of these opportunities, and when possible crack the windows when you’re cleaning so dust and other particles that kick up have a path outside of your home. Did You Know?
Plants can improve indoor air quality by helping to remove harmful irritants from the air.

Protect Your Home From Winter's Freeze
F
reezing temperatures may be good for ice skating or building snowmen, but sub-freezing temperatures can be dangerous for the average person and his or her home.
Cold weather often leaves people scurrying to do whatever is necessary to safeguard themselves from the big chill. But it’s important
that homeowners also protect their homes in cold weather: Plumbing and pipes may be vulnerable to cold weather. Frozen pipes can burst and cause substantial damage to a home, potentially causing flooding and structural damage. Homeowners should disconnect and drain garden hoses. Water to outdoor hose bibs should be turned
off, though the valves on these outdoor faucets should be left open to drain. Also, outdoor faucets can be covered with insulating foam covers.
The Red Cross says pipes that freeze most frequently include pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Close vents to the outside in areas like attics and basements to limit the amount of cold air that gets indoors. Think about insulating unheated areas, as well as using pipe sleeves, heat tape or wraps on exposed pipes. By opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, homeowners can allow warm air from a home to reach pipes under the sink. During extreme freezes, keep cold water dripping from a sink to prevent pipes from freezing
hot water heaters. Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, install a clean air filter and make sure all thermostats are working properly. Homeowners who heat their homes with oil, wood or coal should make sure they have plenty of fuel on hand. Shortages can occur, and it may take some time for new fuel to arrive in the midst of a cold snap.
As a precaution, homeowners can rely on portable space heaters to fill in the heating gaps during the most freezing temperatures. Exercise extreme caution with these devices, by purchasing a portable heater that safeguards against overheating. Also be sure to read the enclosed directions, turn off the heater when leaving the room and remembering to avoid overloading outlets.
It’s important to ensure that heating systems are working properly. It may only take hours for the interior of a home to reach dangerously low temperatures without adequate heat. Homeowners should schedule annual checkups of furnaces and

Make Managing Winter More Fashionable
N
avigating snowy landscapes and icy streets can be difficult and uncomfortable. Winter clothing is largely classified by clothes that keep you warm, and some that keep you even warmer, but winter need not be strictly about function. Although winter might not be the season of high fashion, anyone can employ strategies to include form, function and fashion into their winter ensembles.
to have a selection of matching gloves, scarves and hats to finish off the look.
Consider different types of outerwear for different days. For example, a ski-inspired short coat or even a navy-style pea coat is ideal for casual days. When the temperature hasn’t dipped too low, wear a wool poncho over a turtleneck or sweater to add movement and style. Always have a longer-length, belted coat available for formal events. And don’t forget
Designers recognize that winter footwear should be functional, but it also needs to look good. A quality pair of waterproof snow boots is a must when shoveling out the car or driveway, but your winter footwear should not stop there. Boots and booties come in all designs, and many are being fashioned with furlined (or opt for faux fur!) insoles and waterproof coverings to withstand
Sturdy outerwear is a necessity in winter. Invest in a quality coat that not only keeps you warm, but looks good, too. Opt for a burst of color rather than choosing a coat in a neutral shade. Detailing on the outerwear, such as buckles, belts and buttons, can add to the appeal.”
Staying warm is a goal each winter, but that doesn’t mean you have to banish skirts and dresses to the back of your closet. Choose materials that will keep you toasty, including wool, synthetic blends and thick, cotton corduroys. Pair skirts with opaque tights to keep legs warm, and choose stylish calf- or knee-high boots, which are trending right now. Patchwork trends can be seen all over the fall and winter runway shows, and you can experiment with this trend on dresses or skirts to bring a bohemian touch to your winter ensembles.
winter weather without sacrificing style. A big trend is boots with folddown tongues and side panels that show a hint of sweater-like material or fur.
boots on the way to work and change into more appropriate shoes later on.
If you have a pair of suede boots or shoes that you love, experiment with waterproofing sprays and waxes to see if you can make them more durable this winter. Commuters may want to invest in an additional carry tote so they can wear functional
Dreaded hat hair is a major downside to winter weather. Make sure hair is completely dry before donning a hat. Use anti-frizz serum to tame fly aways that occur when hats are removed. Choose a wellfitting hat. People with long hair can pull their hair back into a high bun before putting on a hat. This will prevent hair from flattening.

Chocolate treat for a Valentine sweet
This recipe for “Hot Cocoa Cookies,” courtesy of King Arthur’s Flour, marries the decadent taste of chocolate with the notion of a warm and soothing hot cocoa that’s ideal for a chilly February day. Even though the premium cocoa mix is baked right into the recipe, don’t hesitate to enjoy a steaming mug of cocoa on the side as the perfect complement to this rich and tasty cookie: Hot Cocoa Cookies. .
Yield: 51⁄2 dozen cookies Cookies:
8 tablespoons (1⁄2 cup) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature, 65 F to 68 F 1⁄2 cup King Arthur hot chocolate mix 1⁄3 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional, for enhanced flavor 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 11⁄4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 11⁄2 cups mini chocolate chips 1⁄2 cup cocoa nibs, optional Topping: About 51⁄2 dozen Belcolade bittersweet disks, or other high-quality chocolate wafer Marshmallow fluff, cocoa nibs, or chopped nuts, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease www.seasonsmagazineonline.com
PELCO FUEL CORP. SALES, SERVICE & INSTALLATIONS
two baking sheets, or line with parchment.
To make the cookies: Combine the butter, hot chocolate mix, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until thoroughly combined.
Weigh out your flour. Or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Add the flour to the cookie mixture, stirring to combine. Mix in the chips and cocoa nibs.
Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets — a teaspoon cookie scoop works well here. Space the cookies at least two inches apart. Bake the cookies for 8 to 9 minutes, until the surface is set, but the cookies aren't quite fully baked. Take the cookies out of the oven and press a chocolate disk into the center of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until the chocolate begins to turn shiny and softens. Remove the cookies from the oven once again, and sprinkle the melted chocolate disk with your garnish of choice.
Allow the cookies to cool right on the baking sheet until the chocolate disks are set. Store well-wrapped cookies at room temperature for a week or so; freeze for longer storage.

Whip Up Something Sweet For Your
Sweetheart
Certain times of year give everyone license to indulge in sweets. No day of the year is more sweets-friendly than Valentine’s Day!
Heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are ubiquitous come mid-February. While no chocolate devotee is liable to scoff at a box of delicious chocolates, lovers who want to hit a home run with their sweets-loving sweetheart can try their hand at crafting their own confectionary concoction this Valentine’s Day. This recipe for “Chocolate Cardamom Truffle Cake” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate” (Ryland, Peters & Small) will amaze that special someone. This recipe serves 10-12.
• Amaretti Base
• 5 ounces amaretti • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter • 5 tablespoons sugar
Cardamom Truffle Filling
• 2 1/3 cups heavy cream • 4 to 6 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised to open them 25 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), grated • 1⁄2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
Cardamom Cocoa Sugar
• 3 green cardamom pods • 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa • 1 10-inch cake pan with a removable base, base and sides lined with nonstick parchment paper
DIRECTIONS
To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes — this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.
To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.
DELISH! This recipe for “Chocolate Cardamom Truffle Cake” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate” (Ryland, Peters & Small) will amaze that special someone and make this Valentine’s Day extra special. www.seasonsmagazineonline.com
