Recipes from the Rectory Kitchen:
Italian Cooking with Father Matthew
Saturday, June 8, 2013
Father Matthew Mauriello , pastor at St. Roch’s Church in Chickahominy, is
famous throughout the diocese for his generous, “made-from-scratch” meals. On
Saturday, June 8, 2013, Father “Matt” will lead an informal cooking
demonstration on the basics of Italian cooking. The afternoon’s menu will be
taken from his book From a Rectory Kitchen, a compilation of recipes
derived from a 20-year collaboration with his good friend and cooking companion
Franca Bosio Bertoli, a native of northern Italy (father Matt’s family hails
from the south. The result will be a delicious three-course luncheon
beginning with mouthwatering bruschetta, followed by Lasagna Bolognese and
luscious homemade tiramisu for dessert. Beverages will also be provided.
Besides learning how to prepare these authentic Italian recipes, Father Matt
will talk about their origins and how they have evolved into today’s popular
Italian-American versions. Buon appetito!

History on Wheels Bike
Tour of Greenwich Point
In partnership with the town’s Experience the Sound Festival, the
second annual History on Wheels family bike tour will take place on
Sunday, June 23, 2013, at Greenwich Point. As you pedal around the point,
you’ll find out how this idyllic 19th century island estate built by
millionaire J. Kennedy Tod on the original 1640 Greenwich founder's Elizabeth
Neck, evolved into a beloved recreational facility. Engage with local
historians and naturalists stationed throughout the park to learn about Tod’s
original beachfront golf course, about the historic "Chimes" and other
remaining buildings, how the Eagle statue came to stand guard over the estate's
pond and much more. You’ll stop along the way to hear stories and see vintage
photos taken from the Historical Society Archives that capture snapshots of
different eras. The tour is open to bike-riding singles, families and children
over seven years old who are able to ride a bike. Kids will enjoy their very
own scavenger hunt as part of the tour.
Experience the Sound is co-sponsored by the Greenwich Shellfish
Commission and To The Point, whose aim is to expand the community’s awareness
of coastal marine life, nature, outdoor recreational pursuits and the
environment by showcasing local organizations and education institutions that
care for and promote them.
