THE EAST HAMPTON STAR, EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., JANUARY 4, 1979 II—THREE In Season Easy As Pie Until the lighter eating habits of the 20th century began to take over, people ate pie when the weather turned cold. Pie is a British tradition, the pastry crust covering or enclosing everyday food, unlike the French habit of making something “en croute” a wondrous culinary creation. The early colonists had neither the time, ingredients, equipment or even the taste for fancy “en croutes” but pies could satisfy. Not only did pie permit otherwise messy food to be held in the hand (pie was a common breakfast on the run) but in case the pork sausage or apples and molasses or stew wasn’t heavy and filling enough, turning it into pie added the necessary substance. Samp Time A typical supper on eastern Long Island was a bowl of samp (dried corn or hominy, cooked until tender and thick, sometimes with meat and salt pork) and wedges of pie. That, of course, was after you spent the day chopping wood or boiling the laundry.

CHARLES T. ANDERSON Town Clerk Dated: January 2,1979. 18-1 By Florence Fabricant Now that we heat our cars and houses ( even if it’s only to 65 degrees), have the wood delivered, and turn laundries into art galleries, pie is no longer required for insulation. In fact, to a determined calorie counter, it represents a definite surplus. Nevertheless, a main dish pie still makes a delicious supper. It is not a complicated undertaking and, served with a green salad and a fruit dessert, need not constitute a heavy meal. Serve it cold and a meat pie made with ground meat can run a close second to pate en croute after all. Savory Meat Pie 1 pound ground pork shoulder 'A lb. ground veal shoulder V 2 cup finely chopped onion 2 large cloves garlic, chopped % teaspoon salt (approx.) ‘A teaspoon freshly ground black pepper V 2 teaspoon ground allspice *A teaspoon ground cumin V 1 teaspoon ground thyme 'A cup dry white wine 3 tablespoons cognac 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon white vinegar 2 tablespoons minced parsley IV 2 to 2 teaspoons flour Pastry for a two-crust nine-inch pie (preferably made with lard) 1 egg, beaten Combine pork, veal, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, allspice, cumin, thyme, wine and cognac in a saucepan. Cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring frequently to mix and break up the ingredients, for 30 minutes. Add one and a half tablespoons of the butter, the vinegar, and stir until the butter melts. Add the parsley. Sprinkle with IV 2 teaspoons flour and mix well. The mixture should be fairly moist but not soupy and any liquid in the pan should have the consistency of cream. If it is very thin, add a little more flour. Taste and reseason if necessary. If you’re planning to serve it cold, the mixture should be overseasoned some what. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a nine-inch pie pan or quiche pan with pastry. Spoon in the meat mixture. Dot with remaining half teaspoon of butter. Cover with top crust, brushing with egg along the edges and sealing the pastry well. Brush top of pastry with more of the egg and cut several slashes in top to allow steam to escape. Bake for ten minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake about 45 minutes longer, until the pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving warm or refrigerate overnight, allow to come to room temperature and serve. Any relishes, chutneys, or spiced fruits that you put up over the summer (or received as gifts this Christmas) would make a marvelous accompaniment for the pie. Serves six. Red Cedar Alexander Goldowsky All Around Us Alexander Goldowsky Through time, leaves have devel oped an incredible assortment of sizes, shapes and specialties. In the summer, this diversity makes identifying trees, and other plants, relatively easy. In winter, though, identifying trees be comes much harder, with, of course, the exception of the evergreens. The last column described some of the relations between the special adaptations of pines and the charac teristic pine needle. For one thing, the shape of the pine needle reduces the surface area of the leaf, and what surface there is, is covered by a thick, waxy cuticle. The stromata of the leaf are sunken below the surface, and the needle is surrounded by thick epidermal and hypodermal cell layers. All of these NOTICE OF HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Town Board of the Town of East Hampton will hold a public hearing at the Town Hall, Court Room, 159 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, N.Y. on January 19, 1979 at 10:30 A.M. or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard, on proposed grants of scenic easements pursuant to the provisions of Section 247 of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York.

Locked In Ice Thus, pines can grow in arid condi tions: in winter, when most ground water is unavailable, locked in ice. They are also well adapted to life in one environment particularly common in East Hampton, this being the dry, porous, sand dune. The most common species on the dunes, and elsewhere in the town, is the pitch pine (Pinus rigida). On dunes, pitch pine often forms low, rounded stands; though when growing in sandy soiled forests it can reach sixty feet. Pitch pine cones are usually about two inches long and each scale has a sharp, backward-pointing spine. Be cause the cones remain attached to the branches for long periods, they are a good means of identification. Gnarled Branches No matter what the length of the trunk the branches, which are never numerous, seem to retain their char acteristic gnarled, irregular form. Pine trees must rank among the most unlikely medicinal herbs; never- J.. uiq o-,r bi > lu - . sfcfoit 1 theless, they have several uses. The bark of the pitch pine, for example, was used by the Indians to treat kidney ailments and rheumatism, while pine oil is officially listed as a disinfectant and insecticide. The inner bark of another species, the white pine, has been ground to make bread flour; while the needles can be brewed into a tea. White pines are usually found far ther inland, growing in less sandy soil. They are easily identified by their tall, straight trunks and smooth bark. The needles are also distinctive, for, unlike most of our other pines, they are quite soft, and unlike any other northern pines there are five needles in each needle cluster. Because of their size' and straight growth, white pines are much sought after as lumber. Cedars Where the terrain is less wooded, and especially in abandoned fields, one will almost certainly encounter cedars; or at least those trees which are normally referred to as cedars, none of which, as it happens, are true cedars. The leaves of this group of trees are scale-like, and scarcely resemble the needles of other conifers. They share, however, many of the same modifi cations and advantages of the regular pine needles. In the case of red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), these scales are arranged in two ways. On some sprays they form a close layer around the twigs; while on others they are arranged in a whorled pattern pointing sharply outward. In our other species, the much less common swamp-dwelling, Atlantic white cedar, all of the sprays are of the rounded type. Red and white cedars also differ in the shape of the cone, as well as in their preferred habitat. In-Between In fact, the cone of the red cedar (a juniper berry) does not even resemble PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Board of the Inc. Village of East Hampton will hold its regular meeting at 8:00 p.m. Thursday, Jan uary 11th, 1979 at the Village Hall, 27 Main Street, East Hampton, New York. The public is invited to attend.

It is however, not a true fruit, but rather a curious in-between stage. Whatever it may be, it serves the same functions as a fruit; helping, among other things, in the distribution of the seeds. The brown, dry seeds of most of the confiers are distributed by wind. But, since juniper berries are eaten and passed, unharmed, through the digestive systems of opossums, game birds, and a host of smaller birds which share the fields with the red cedar, the tree can take advantage of this more efficient method of seed spreading. The cones of white cedars are more conformist. Although also berry-like in shape, it is composed of dry, thin scales. Flattened Another cedar species which one often encounters is the Northern white cedar. The foliage sprays resemble those of the Atlantic cedar, except they are flattened rather than rounded. The cones are elongate, when closed, and composed of only a few woody scales.

Because of this, it is a very common ornamental. Arbor vitae also has the distinction of being the first tree to be introduced to Europe from the United States; not because of its ornamental value, but because of its medicinal uses. Arbor vitae, in fact, is derived from the French title “Tree of Life.” This name was given after it was successfully used to combat disease (most likely scurvy) in the Canadian expedition headed by Jacques Cartier, in the 16th century. A tea made from the foliage is also considered a powerful cure for rheuma tism. The taste, however, is notor iously bad. Although conifers are an evolution ary step behind flowering plants, they are obviously not outshined; several species are particularly well adapted to life in such trying environments as sand dunes; many, if not all, make beautiful ornamentals, and some are even highly valued as medicinal plants.
