Taste of Schenectady SPRING 2019
Spring is a time to commemorate the many sacrifices that Americans have made... Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military... It originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. By the late 1860s, Americans started decorating graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and prayers. As people of the world seek to find new ways to guarantee sustainability, environmentalists have been looking to food sources that are universally consumed. In this issue, we focus on food and recipe solutions for Hindus—dals and subzis and vegetables—and pastured goat meat for Christian, Muslim & Jew carnivores. The “shuk/souk” in Hebrew and Arabic respectively), is a vital part of Israel’s culinary and social ecology. Today, U.S. shuks tend to be found in a city’s medina (old quarter). In February 1948, the British handed over control of Palestine to the Vatican’s “Apostolic Delegation of Jerusalem” in Lebanon and Syria, which refused to recognize the new State of Israel from May 1948 until 1993. In November 2018, Israel’s Ambassador announced to the UN that the White House would roll out its much-anticipated Middle East peace plan in 2019. The Trump administration has cast the conference as an overture to its own plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Certified Food Protection Professionals (CFPP) like myself play a vital role for all people who seek sustainable food. U.S. troops have fought to ensure that global citizens have access to energy, food, medicine, shelter, safety and transportation of railways and transit—endangered by despots, terrorists, and tyrants. Enjoy the articles and recipes in this issue. But most importantly this Memorial Day and D-Day (June 6th), let’s not forget the commitment of our USA troops, who made the ultimate sacrifice—and our veterans—who fought Communism, Fascism and Nazism.

Bear Mt. Inn & Overlook Lodge<br />
From prospective Cadet Candidates visiting the United States Military Academy to<br />
guided tours <strong>of</strong> historic West Point to top-notch shows and sporting events, there are<br />
numerous reasons to visit West Point... Stay at Bear Mountain Inn or Overlook Lodge.<br />
Want to visit West Point, or hike Bear Mountain<br />
State Park? The 24 guestrooms <strong>of</strong><br />
Overlook Lodge are a hiker’s dream or a<br />
honeymooner’s delight. Relax fireside<br />
(seasonal) in the lobby, which boasts<br />
fabulous panoramic views <strong>of</strong> the Hudson<br />
River or retreat to the peace <strong>of</strong> your<br />
guestroom that has a perfect combination<br />
<strong>of</strong> calm serenity and upscale perks.<br />
Accommodations at Overlook Lodge<br />
feature: Accommodations with either<br />
one king bed or two double beds...<br />
The spacious room make it easy to<br />
unwind—whether you want to catch up<br />
on your favorite news or sports team on<br />
the 32” television with satellite TV. And,<br />
if you have to get some last-minute work<br />
done before starting your getaway, each<br />
room’s workspace has complimentary<br />
Wi-Fi high-speed internet. Each standard<br />
guestroom has a Kitchenette with<br />
microwave, and micro-fridge. Ask<br />
about Rollaway beds, available upon<br />
request (for a small fee).<br />
I always enjoy the Lodge, because it<br />
is conveniently located to West Point,<br />
and all that Bear Mountain State Park<br />
and Harriman State Park <strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
Bear Mountain State Park is known for<br />
its picturesque hiking and biking trails,<br />
fun boat rentals, large underground<br />
pool, breathtaking views, and a gorgeous<br />
wooden carousel. The best part<br />
about the carousel, though, is that it’s<br />
only $1 per ride for kids; adults are<br />
FREE, if they’re accompanying children.<br />
Also free is Bear Mountain State Park’s<br />
Trailside Zoo. When my kids were<br />
young, I would make a day out <strong>of</strong> all<br />
these attractions alone.<br />
Pets are permitted at the Overlook<br />
Lodge with an additional charge.<br />
ABOUT THE 4 STONE COTTAGES<br />

cottages is complete with a cozy front<br />
porch and a common living area with<br />
