    welcome

    With the opening of

    the newest Sendiks in

    West Bend in Novem-

    ber, we have completed a long-

    term goal of having ten stores in

    ten years! We would like to take

    this opportunity to thank our

    talented associates for all theirhard work to make our dream

    become a reality. We would also

    like to thank all the wonderful

    communities that have wel-

    comed us and supported our

    stores. We believe we have the

    greatest customers in the world

    and it is our pleasure to serve you the best

    grocery shopping experience, period.

    Although the opening of Sendiks West

    Bend marked the attainment of a long-term

    goal, our journey is not complete. We havea firm belief at Sendiks that for a business

    to stay vibrant, we must continue to grow.

    The result is that our associates and custom-

    ers can expect Sendiks to continue moving

    forward to bigger and better things.

    One thing we have been working hard

    at is stepping up our level of service and

    quality. Providing great service has always

    been a cornerstone of our business and we

    always want to make sure we are delivering

    the service our customers deserve and have

    come to expect. Training is paramount andwe have recently stepped up the level of train-

    ing to better serve you. Our hope is that you

    continue to receive the same great service

    and even better service in the future.

    Quality is another cornerstone of our

    business. Recently, with the help of our

    team members, we put in place standards

    to help ensure the product you are purchas-

    ing is always the best and freshest. Through

    enhanced training and freshness standards

    we believe you will continue to experiencethe best value in the marketplace.

    Our charity partner this issue is the

    MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against

    Childhood Cancer). All proceeds from the

    sale of this magazine will go directly to this

    very special charity. We will also be selling

    the MACC Fund Stars again in our stores.

    As always, thank you for your purchase. (See

    page 16 for more information.)

    Thank you for remaining loyal Sendiks

    customers. We are honored and humbled by

    the responsibility you have given us to bethe supplier of your familys food. We will

    not let you down.

    Sendiks Food Marketwine

    Feasts take center stage in this season

    of celebration. And if youre look-

    ing for a wine that can work with

    cranberries as well as turkey or beef as well

    as lasagna, Zinfandel is your juice. This

    food-friendly homegrown varietal works

    nicely with the medley of flavors at your

    holiday meals.

    Often called Americas heritage grape,

    Zinfandel vines have been grown in Califor-

    nia since the 1850s, and the wine quenched

    many a miners thirst during the Gold Rush.

    Zinfandels origins have been shrouded in

    mystery over the years, but DNA studies at

    the University of California at Davis show

    that the Zinfandel grape is the same as the

    Primitivo grape that is grown in southeast-

    ern Italys Puglia region. The majority of

    Zinfandel is grown in the United States,

    however, and is Californias second mostwidely planted red grape variety.

    Some of the same vines that grew from

    the land upon which pioneers built a

    new life have been tirelessly producing

    grapes for generations. The adage less

    is more applies to this sought-after old-

    vine Zin since the venerable vines yield

    smaller quantities of fruit that can produce

    more concentrated wines than fruit from

    younger vines. To be considered old ,

    vines need to be at least 40 or 50 years

    oldthough they may have been aroundfor more than a century.

    Zinfandel is, of course, also used to pro-

    duce the popular pink wine known as

    White Zinfandel, but here were talking

    about red Zinwhat many people call the

    real Zinfandel. Red Zin can range from

    light red in color to deep red, almost black.

    It can have an aroma ranging from woody

    cedar and damp earth to chocolate, and

    spicy, floral, plum, or fruity berry and cherry

    flavors. The lighter styles of Zinfandel are

    fruit-forward, crisp, and have berry andcherry flavors with a bit of oak. The late-

    harvest monster varieties of Zin, which

    have bold, ripe fruit flavors of plum, raisin,

    and licorice, have higher alcohol content

    and sugars and are best enjoyed on their

    own or after a meal, almost like port.

    Zinfandel is usually best drunk young,

    within a few years of vintage, but there are

    also a number of Zins that age well. Were

    always happy to provide recommendations

    and answer any questions on your next visit

    to our store.

    Uses

    Some cooks prefer to steamor blanch for about 3 minutes

    before sauting to removebitterness. Try sauting with

    garlic 10-15 minutes for a tastyside, or use as you would

    broccoli, it makes a nice additionto carrot sticks and celery for dip.

    Enjoy raw in salads or steamor saut both the leaves and

    stalks. Use much like spinach,except that chard has a heaviertexture, which requires longercooking. Saut in olive oil and

    serve it as a side dish.

    As a traditional favorite in thesouthern states, theyre often

    boiled with salt pork, friedwith bacon, or simmered withseasoned broth. For a lighter

    approach, you can saut in canolaoil and add red pepper or smokedturkey to replace the pork flavor.

    Its best to remove and discardtough center stalks before

    cooking. Steam, saut, or addto soup and pasta. Goes well

    with red pepper flakes, chilies,vinegar, or bacon. Use smalland tender leaves in salads.

    Makes an attractive garnish ortray liner because it doesnt wilt.

    The young leaves can add zip

    to salads, while mature leavescan be added to soups, stews,and sauts. Steam, saut, orsimmer for a side dish with

    walnuts or onion, garlic, ham,salt pork, or bacon. Their

    flavor mellows when cooked.

    Ahomemade edible gift is a deli-

    cious treat for the holidays. Not

    only does the recipient enjoy a

    special surprise, but it also comes with

    the knowledge that you took time and

    effort to make something. We came across

    a great new book thats filled with a rangeof recipes from sweet to savory, along with

    tips for artfully packaging your creations

    Delicious Gifts: Edible Creations to Make and

    Give, by Jess McCloskey. Here we share a

    recipe for a sweet treat that is bound to be

    one of the recipients favorite gifts.

    Its hard to beat the classic combinationof chocolate and peanut butter. The slight

    saltiness of the peanut butter perfectly offsets

    the sweet creaminess of the chocolate. This

    version makes a light and fluffy peanut but-

    ter ganache, which elevates the traditional

    peanut butter cup into something recipients

    will remember long after they have fin-

    ished off the last delicious piece.

    1. Place peanut butter, softened butter, and

    vanilla into a bowl. Stir briskly until all the ingre-

    dients are incorporated.

    2. Stir in the confectioners sugar 1 cup at a

    time. Depending on the consistency of thepeanut butter, the humidity in your kitchen,

    and your own personal tastes, it is possible to

    reduce the amount of sugar, so adding it slowly,

    stirring to form a stiff dough, is recommended.

    The dough should not be crumbly, but it will

    be stiff and dry to the touch. You should be

    able to hold it in your hands without it sticking

    to your skin.

    3. Allow the peanut butter ganache to cool in

    the refrigerator until it fully stiffensusually

    about 4 hours or, if desired, overnight. Then,

    use a teaspoon to scoop out dough and rollinto balls of desired size.

    4. Dip balls partially in the melted chocolate

    to make buckeye-style candies or cover com-

    pletely in chocolate to make truffles.

    5. Allow to cool until the chocolate has firmed.

    This step can be sped up in the refrigerator.

    If desired, drizzle with melted white or dark

    chocolate. When firm, pack into gift boxes.

    Store in an airtight container in a cool location

    for up to 2 weeks.

    tp: If you work so slowly that the ganachebegins to warm to room temperature and

    becomes sticky, simply rechill the ganache and

    melt the chocolate just before rolling.

    ne: This recipe makes quite a bit of peanut

    butter ganache, but if covered with foil it will

    keep in the freezer for months.

    Sendiks Food Marketcommunity support

    The MACC Fund, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood

    Cancer, Inc., started 35 years ago when a two-year-old

    boy named Brett was diagnosed with leukemia. Brett

    Doucette, the son of Karen and the colorful Milwaukee Bucks

    broadcaster Eddie, is now married and living in Arizona. His

    illness served as the impetus for the MACC Fund to help chil-

    dren with cancer and blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and

    aplastic anemia.The MACC Fund began on the Milwaukee Arena floor on

    December 10, 1976 during the retirement ceremony for Jon

    McGlocklins number 14 jersey. Since that humble beginning dur-

    ing a basketball game, thanks to

    the generosity of thousands

    of people, the MACC

    Fund is celebrating

    its 35th year. It

    has contributed

    $41 million to

    research, playing

    an importantrole in helping

    the overall cure

    rate for child-

    hood cancer to

    rise from 20 per-

    cent to 80 percent.

    These are impressive

    statistics that represent the

    lives of children.

    The MACC Fund supports research at the Medical College

    of Wisconsin in the six-story MACC Fund Research Center, at

    the University of Wisconsins Carbone Cancer Center, in theMACC Fund Pediatric Cancer Research Wing of the Wiscon-

    sin Interdisciplinary Medical Research (WIMR) Center, and

    in the MACC Fund Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at

    Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin.

    Research provides hope to a child who is fighting cancer or a

    blood disorder. That hope is reflected in simple things that many

    people take for granted. A child battling cancer or a blood disorder

    doesnt take anything for granted. A trip to the zoo or attending

    a homecoming dance, prom, and graduations are all sources of

    celebration but none can compare to birthdays! The people who

    have supported the MACC Fund throughout the past 35 years

    have all played a role in these celebrations.

    It is easy to help the MACC Fund. You can r ide a bike, hit a golf

    ball, attend a fashion show, watch a basketball game or a televised

    auction, volunteer, purchase special grocery items at your favorite

    Balistrer i Sendiks store, buy a TODAYS TMJ4 MACC*Star, spon-

    sor an event, participate in an event, or simply make a donation.

    Special events of every size and description have provided a good

    time for a good cause for 35 years. Regardless of the occasion, the

    MACC Fund affords people of all ages a chance to provide a life-saving gift of hope to children with cancer and blood disorders.
