    Sendiks Food Marketswelcome

    The New Year and spr ing

    season bring a time to

    reflect on both new

    beginnings ahead and long-

    standing traditions that remain.

    As your family-owned, local

    grocery store, it is a great treat

    to hear from customers howfood from Sendiks plays a role

    in so many of their traditions.

    We are blessed to have cus-

    tomers who make scheduled

    visits to our stores a tradition.

    We see the same customer stop

    in each Sunday morning and

    make talking to their local butcher a part of

    planning their Sunday family dinner. Each

    season brings a new produce harvest, and

    weve experienced customers making a

    tradition of shopping the very day the firstshipment of the season comes in. Through

    letters and e-mails, we also hear from cus-

    tomers from around the country who have

    moved away from Milwaukee but make it

    a tradition to stop at Sendiks when they

    return home. They want to ensure we still

    have their favorite foods, and we are grate-

    ful they come back and visit.

    A new beginning for Sendiks was the

    opening of our tenth store last Novem-

    ber. Since the West Bend store opened,

    weve been graciously welcomed by thecommunity. We thank our customers and

    associates for making that location a suc-

    cess and look forward to forming tradi-

    tions with the new customers there. If

    you havent had a chance to visi t us in

    West Bend yet, wed welcome you to do

    so. We believe youll find the best grocery

    shopping experience, period.

    Its the tradition of Sendiks and its

    generous customers to support a localcharity with the sales of this magazine,

    and were happy to once again make

    ABCD (After Breast Cancer Diagnosis)

    our charity partner for this issue. The

    organizations goal is to provide per-

    sonalized support to those individuals

    affected by breast cancer. All proceeds

    from the sale of the Spring 2012 Real Food

    magazine will go directly to support this

    exceptional local charity.

    Thank you to all those customers who

    have made shopping at Sendiks a part ofyour family tradition.

    Sincerely,

    Good Things,Small PackagesTheyre small, theyre orange, theyre a aorite with healthy snackers and moms

    packing lunch boxeshooray or mandarin orange season! This citrus ruit goes

    by many names, including tangerine, satsuma, and Clementine, but all mandarin

    oranges hae a ew things in common: Theyre natie to Southeast Asia,

    prized or their easily remoed peels, and treasured or their sweet, zesty

    laor. Seeral regions produce mandarin oranges, including Caliornia

    and the southern states o America, many Mediterranean nations, and

    Mexico. Depending on the ariety, resh mandarins can be ound rom

    Noember through June, with peak season rom early winter to early

    spring. Canned mandarin oranges are aailable year-round.

    Mandarin orange varieties:

    Ceee: smallest of the group; tangy sweet

    red-orange flesh thats usually seedless

    mc e gee: somewhat seedy but juicy

    s: sweet and juicy, almost seedless; the mostcommon variety canned.

    tgee: thick, rough skin and sweet refreshing flesh

    Mandarins range from 2-4 inches in diameter

    Select fruits that are heavy for their size. Bright color is not

    necessarily an indication of quality as some naturally have

    green patches even when fully ripe.

    Mandarins may be stored in a cool, dark spot for a few days,

    but ideally should be refrigerated to extend shelf life

    up to two weeks.

    Mandarin oranges are an excellent source of vitamins A and C

    and fiber, and a good source of vitamin B6, thiamine, calcium,

    folate, magnesium, and potassium. They also contain antioxidant

    carotenoids and flavonoids. Plus, a medium (2 inch diameter)

    mandarin has just 47 calories.

    When substituting canned mandarins for fresh, you will most likely

    need to drain the juice and may even wish to gently rinse them.

    When substituting fresh mandarins for canned in some recipes,

    you may need to add water or simple syrup.

    One 11-ounce can equals 1 cups mandarin oranges.

    The word for tangerines comes from the Moroccan port city

    of Tangier. In 1710, the word tangerine entered the English

    language to describe things from that city, and the word was

    adopted for the fruit in the 1800s.

    Sendiks Food Marketscheese

    Hungry for a cheese thats creamy

    as can be and oozing with flavor?

    Try Brie. One of the worlds

    greatest cheeses, Brie has been made in

    France since the 8th century and today

    this style of cheese is popular to eat, and

    make, around the world.Named after the area near Paris in

    which it is made, Brie was said to be the

    favorite of French kings. It is made with

    cows milk, and gets its signature flavors

    of hazelnuts and mushrooms from the

    actions of molds in its signature fuzzy

    exterior, which cheese professionals call

    its bloomy rind. Bloomy rind cheeses

    are made by pouring milk into round

    molds and letting much of the milks

    natural moisture drain away. Special,

    beneficial molds now come into play,

    such as Penicillium candidum (yes, it is

    related to the penicillin we use when

    we get sick). The molds grow on the

    outside of the cheesecreating the thin

    white and velvety crust on the surface

    known as bloomand break down

    the protein and fat inside, making thecheese soft, oozy, and complex. A young

    Brie is typically aged anywhere from four

    to eight weeks, during which time the

    exterior will become softer and downier

    and the interior will evolve from a chalky

    white color to a lighter straw color.

    Brie should be perfectly ripe for the

    best flavor so its important to select it

    at just the right point. Look for cheese

    that is plump and resilient to the touch,

    not bulgy like a water balloon (overripe)

    or shriveled and hard like a rock (past

    prime.) If its brownish, gummy, and

    smells l ike ammonia, the cheese iscertainly past prime.

    Br ie i s mos t de l i c ious a t room

    temperature or warm. Simply let your

    cheese rest on the counter for thirty

    to sixty minutes or warm in the oven

    (at 350F for about 10 minutes) to

    further bring out its flavor. The cheese

    spreads wonderfully. It pairs well with

    fruit such as green apples, strawberries,

    melon, pears, and grapes and nuts. For a

    spectacular party centerpiece, top it with

    jam and bake in the oven. Toss chunkswith the rind removedwith cooked

    pasta for an instant upscale macaroni

    and cheese. Its also a classic match with

    wine, especially reds such as Beaujolais,

    Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir, and

    whites such as Chardonnay, dry Ries ling,

    and Champagne.

    Looking for something a little dif-

    ferent than the usual Chardonnay?

    Fragrant, crisp Viognier may be

    just what youre looking for. Viognier

    (pronounced vee-oh-NYAY) may be the

    worlds least widely planted premium

    grape, but currently it is one of the most

    prized. People love it for its exquisite,

    exotic bouquet, often described as having

    notes of apricots, pears, and tropical fruits,

    with floral overtones.Viognier doesnt require aging to devel-

    op complexity and aromatics, since its

    fresh and striking aroma is its big appeal,

    theres no need to seek out older bottles.

    Some of the most esteemed wines made

    with Viognier come from the northern

    Rhnes Condr ieu and Chteau-Grillet

    appellations. In the United States, some

    California winemakers g row Viognier.

    There is even a nonprofit educational

    organization called the Rhone Rangers

    that is dedicated to promoting AmericanRhne varietal wines, including Viognier.

    Of the Rhne white varieties, Viognier is

    the most widely planted here. Its popu-

    larity exploded in the 1990s, and in the

    last decade or so plantings have increased.

    Luckily for Viognier fans, there is more

    planted in California than France, as pro-

    duction there is small. In 1996 there were

    645 acres of Viognier planted in California,

    but by 2004 there were more than 2,000

    acres planted from Mendocino County in

    the north to Temecula in the south and a

    total acreage of 3,000 by 2009. There are

    also a smattering of Viognier plantings in

    Oregon, Arizona, New York, North Caro-

    lina, and Texas.

    Viognier is great on its own as well as

    at the dinner table. It pairs well with fruit

    and cheese plates, as well as spicy Asian

    stir-fry dishes, curries, or Thai or Indian

    dishes made with coconut milk. Try this

    fragrant wine with cream-based sauces

    and chicken, especially roasted or with a

    cream sauce. It also complements seafood,

    pairing prettily with everything from crab

    and lobster to salmon, sea bass, and shrimp.

    One thing is for sure, if youre in the mood

    for a glass of something white as fragrant

    as a flower garden but crisp and zesty too,

    Viognier fits the bill.

    Sce 1999, ABCD has had one clear mission: provide free,

    personalized information and one-to-one support for people

    affected by breast cancerpatients, family, and friends. This

    distinct compassionate response to breast cancer has always reso-

    nated with the owners of Balistreri-Owned-and-Operated Sendiks

    Food Markets and their community of customers.

    dug the pt twelve ye, ABCDs primary service has

    grown from metro Milwaukee to all of eastern Wisconsin, from

    Kenosha to Brown/Door Counties. That growth has picked up

    speed in recent years as ABCDs reputation has spread and as a

    growing body of research indicates that compassionate support

    complementing the professional care provided at the hospital

    directly impacts patient well-being.

    Ty, after lots of behind the scenes preparation in 2011, ABCD

    is poised to expand its services throughout Wisconsin and the

    greater Midwest. Through a multi-year effort, ABCD is bringingthe power of one-to-one support, whether it is from a volunteer

    mentor who has been custom matched with a breast cancer patient

    or the personalized service of ABCDs committed staff, to anyone

    who doesnt want to face breast cancer alone.
