Who likes these cold winter blasts? Finger Lakes ice wine makers, that’s who

newyorkupstate.com

By Don Cazentre | [email protected]

It takes a certain kind of person to appreciate the days when the temperature drops into the teens or below.

Count the ice wine makers in the Finger Lakes and other regions of Upstate New York among them. These are the days when hardy winery crews get out into the vineyards to pick frozen grapes right off the vine. Read more.

Winter Power Outage Tips

Winter’s not over yet and we can still expect some heavy snow and ice storms that can take down power lines and transformers. There are many things that you probably will do in advance like stock up on groceries, fill your vehicles with gas, check all the flashlights (which are infinitely safer than candles), and charge your electronic devices. When you are in the middle of the power outage, here are some things to keep in mind. Read more.

Cooking Oils

There are a number of different oils designed for cooking food. Some have different tastes and uses. One reason many people avoid cooking with oils is the fat content. While you need to follow your physicians directions, some oils contain healthy fats, which actually help your diet, if used in moderation. When an oil smokes or burns, it is using up any healthy fats and antioxidants. Each different type of oil has its own smoke point temperature. The higher the smoke point, the more chance you have of retaining those good fats. Read More.

Hearty Winter Soups

Savory soups are wonderful in the winter because they leave us warm and satisfied. They are filled with nutritious veggies to boost the immune system. There are thin soups based on a clear broth or stock and thick soups like a chowder. If you find your soup turning out thinner than you like, you can thicken it by adding a slurry of cornstarch and water or even leftover mashed potatoes. Read More.
