SUMMARY:Irish Brown Bread Anyone?
DESCRIPTION:Is there a better bread in the world than a loaf of Irish brown bread or soda bread? Irish brown bread is as typical as a pint of Guinness or Smithwick’s Ale. It is a close cousin or stepbrother to the Irish soda bread made with white flour. Although today both are equally popular\, brown bread was initially more common because white flour was more expensive. \nJoin us on Friday\, March 13\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, when well-known local Chef Harold Qualters will demonstrate the proper way of making delicious Irish brown bread; just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. \nThe class will take place at King Thiel Senior Community\, 17 Elks Lane\, with a $5 fee for members of THE CENTER at CSSC and $7 for not-yet-members and will include lunch. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302.

SUMMARY:Easy as Pie
DESCRIPTION:Pie is as American as the Fourth of July. Through those first lean and hungry years in New England\, daring pioneer mothers contrived “pyes” out of a few simple foods at hand often experimenting as they went. The old expression “easy as pie” is now true. Over time\, pastry chefs and cooks alike have worked out simplified methods. No guessing as to the amount of water\, no chilling of the pastry\, no long\, laborious preparations for fillings. Today\, there are pies for special occasions\, pies from famous eating locations\, and pies for special holidays. \nOn Tuesday\, January 28\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, CSSC staff will share and demonstrate how to make their favorite pie recipes. Attendees will be able to sample from a variety of different pies made. \nThe class will take place at King Thiel Senior Community\, 17 Elks Lane\, with a $5 fee for members of THE CENTER at CSSC and $7 for not-yet-members and will include a light lunch. Space is limited and prepayment for the class is required. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302. \n

SUMMARY:Sacred Space Visit: St. Basil’s Russian Orthodox Church
DESCRIPTION:The journey continues on Friday\, January 10\, as we visit another sacred space. Join Diane Conroy-LaCivita as she travels to St. Basil’s Russian Orthodox Church on Lansing Avenue in Watervliet. \nSt. Basil’s parish celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2001. The parish was formed by a group from the Sub Carpatho-Russian province of Galicia who had settled in the Maplewood area of the Town of Colonie. The church was established by nineteen men\, inspired by Father (now Saint) Alexander Hotovitsky\, who helped organize parishes all along the east coast. In January 1901\, the Brotherhood of St. Basil the Great was formed and His Grace\, Bishop Tikhon of the Aleutians and North America blessed the members of the Brotherhood to construct a church building. The congregation continued to grow and a new\, larger church became necessary and was blessed in September 1945. This church building remains to this day and has been the site of countless Sacraments and Blessings to the many generations of St. Basil’s parish. \nThe CSSC shuttle bus will leave The Beltrone Living Center at 9:30 am and return at approximately 11:30 a.m. Space is limited. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302. \n  \n

SUMMARY:What It Means to be Incarcerated?
