SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017 Shorewood Senior Living to host Grand Open House Shorewood Senior Living, 1451 Spruce St., will celebrate its Grand Open House on Thursday, Jan. 26, from 3 to 6 p.m. A special public ribbon-cut- ting ceremony will begin at 3:15 p.m., followed by hors d’oeuvres, refreshments and tours of the newly remodeled facility. “Shorewood Senior Living is out to change the miscon- ception in senior living,” said manager Belinda Shores. “Senior living communities can offer a social environment while staying independent of care as long as possible. “If or when you might need some assistance, you have a support system and team at the ready that already know you, your preferences and your per- sonality – and you know them.” The Shorewood invites the community to come see the facility’s new look, enjoy food and refreshments and learn about services and pricing. For more information, con- tact Shores at 541-997-8202.

Frey Heirloom dishes and family food traditions are rich sources of nostalgia and provide vivid ways to learn about our fami- lies’ past, yet preserving them can be problematic. Many family recipes and food traditions are never docu- mented in written or photo- graphic form, existing only as unwritten know-how and lore that vanishes when a cook dies. Even when recipes are writ- ten down, they often fail to give the tricks and tips that would allow another cook to accurate- ly replicate the dish. This book, “Preserving Family Recipes: How To Save and Celebrate Your Food Traditions” by Valerie J. Frey, is a guide for gathering, adjusting, supplementing and safely pre- serving family recipes and for interviewing relatives, collect- ing oral histories, and conduct- ing kitchen visits to document family food traditions from the everyday to the special occa- sion. It blends commonsense tips with sound archival principles, helping one achieve effective results while avoiding unneces- sary pitfalls. Whether you simply want to save a few accurate recipes, help yesterday’s food ways evolve so that they are relevant for today’s table, or create an extensive family cookbook, this guidebook will help you to savor your memories. The author Frey is a writer, archivist and education con- sultant who lives in Atlanta, Ga., but has Pacific Northwest roots. Family history isn’t just about tracing ancestors, some- times it’s about tracing food.
