TOWN HALL After denying grant, STRAWBERRIES $199 council waives fees ...ITALY COMES TO BRANZINO! A ISLE FOUR ! for Terry Fox Run FRESH CALIFORNIA /TUB Our theme this week is a culinary trip to ITALY. I have had the great pleasure of doing this trip a couple of times, and I am continually impressed by their pure and simple approach to food. You can usually identify all the ingredients, and as the ingredients availability evolves through the seasons, the cuisine has as well. Please enjoy our offerings this week, they are faves of ours. FORMAGGIO! VEAL CHOPS ELEPHANT EAR We'll start with Parmigiano Reggiano, which is, simply Parmesan from the area of Reggio Emilia. There are specific rules that govern the production of this cheese, and in short, it is made during the lushest season of pasture only, from milk from a certain type of cows which graze within a certain area. Offseason, or parmesan from different areas is usually marketed as `Padano.' The minimum aging of this cheese is two years, but this is aged 48 months, which further develops its flavour. It's available either by the chunk (Reg. $5.99/100g) or grated (Reg. $6.99/100g) and it will be OFF THIS featured at WEEk Our second choice of cheese is Asiago from Italy. It as well is an aged cheese, and although for centuries was made with sheeps milk from the Asiago Plateau (North of Venice), the last century saw a change to cows milk. Its origin and a process is also protected by law, and its flavour varies somewhat dependent on the extent of aging during the making. We love Asiago as well, and in our opinion, it's as great on pasta (or nibbling) as Parmesan. Regular is $5.49/100g. And OFF featured at And as a little postscript, I will quote Mariella... "Think pears; figs and an amazing glass of Barolo or sparkling Prosecco." These are Rack Veal Chops whose bones have been `frenched', and then we flatten them much as you'd thin out a veal cutlet. You then bread these MilaneseStyle (flour, egg, breadcrumbs), brown them in your fry pan (half olive oil, half butter), and finish them in your oven. Cathy and I first had these at Giannino Restaurant, an iconic eatery in Milan. They fill the plate so bring an appetite to the table, they are phenomenal! We'll have detailed cooking instructions so you can't possibly go wrong with these.

One pound tubs, featured at By Ali Raza aliraza@yrmg.com Whitchurch-Stouffville town council passed a motion to waive fees for the Stouffville Terry Fox Run on Tuesday night. The total in-kind donation stood at $3,760 and was a combination of fees charged by the town for specific services including a downtown banner to promote the run, barricades for the route and the rental fee for Memorial Park. Stouffville Terry Fox Run committee chairperson Stacey FitzPatrick says "we're super happy about it," as the run is just over a week away. The committee first requested a grant of $2,300 from council early in February. The grant was denied on the grounds that donating to the charity was an "individual choice," Councillor Rick Upton said. "I don't know it's up to us to take the taxpayers' money and donate it to cancer," he added in February. A similar event, the Stouffville Dash for Diabetes, had its request of $1,400 to cover policing requirements approved in the same meeting in February. The Terry Fox Run, however, did receive a grant from town council in 2015, along with Dash for Diabetes. Upton told FitzPatrick at the February meeting RICK UPTON: Councillor comes through on pledge to raise money for run. he would "commit personally to raise the money." FitzPatrick confirmed that in addition to council waiving the fees, Upton also helped the committee raise money as earlier assured. "He (Upton) went out and got some donations for us," FitzPatrick said. "It's wonderful and we're happy for the support." The 36th annual Stouffville Terry Fox Run is set for Sunday, Sept. 18. The run will begin at Latcham Hall in Memorial Park. Close to 1,500 people are expected to participate. In 35 years, the Stouffville Terry Fox Run has raised $1.7 million for cancer research.
