Recipe of the Month
By Jeff Vitanza

Avocado Mayonnaise

Neither mayonnaise or guacamole, but something in between.

This condiment is great with hot or cold chicken, cold shell fish, use it as a sandwich spread, a dip or add sour cream and use it as a dressing.

Ingredients
-1 or 2 Ripe Avocados, peeled & pitted
-1 Clove Garlic peeled
-2 Scallions chopped
-1 Tablespoon Corn Oil
-1/4 Cup fresh Cilantro
-1 Ripe Lime
-Salt & Pepper

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for the salt, pepper and lime in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth.
- Scrape into a bowl, add the juice from the lime and mix.
- Add the salt & pepper to taste.
- Serve or store in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

FYI - Did you know that about 50 million pounds of Avocados are consumed on Super Bowl Sundays. That's enough to cover a football field at a depth of 12 feet. 

If anyone has a question or requests a recipe feel free to call or e-mail me.

ENJOY !

Ushers for February

Music at St. Paul’s

Upcoming organ concert! On Sunday, Feb. 24th at 3 pm, St. Paul’s will host an organ recital. There will be a number of performers from the Middlesex branch of the American Guild of Organists (AGO), including Emily Sensenbach-Gopal and John Eisenhauer, who has substituted here. The theme of the concert is America.

The program, though subject to change, now includes:
Works by American composers
Works composed by their performers
An improvisation on a theme suggested by the audience
Selection of American hymns (with audience participation!)

Admission is free and a reception will follow.

Please consider inviting a friend or several. Concerts are a non-threatening way to introduce our neighbors to St. Paul’s! A poster is included in this edition of the Tidings; please hang it in your workplace or neighborhood. Volunteers are needed to host the reception and act as ushers; talk to Emily if you are available.

Other musical announcements:

Women’s Choir will sing on the first Sunday of February.

 Any women (of any age) interested in singing a simple anthem should meet at 9 am in the choir room on Sun., Feb. 3rd.

Organ crawl. As a prelude to the Feb. 24th organ concert,

there will be no Children’s Choir on Sun., Feb. 17th. Instead, at 11:30, Emily will give a tour of the organ geared toward children but interesting for adults too. If you’ve ever wanted to play the organ, know how it works, or take a peek inside, this is your chance!

Easter cantata rehearsals begin Thurs., Feb. 7th at 7:30 pm

in the choir room. The adult choir could use some extra voices!

Director of Music
