Letter From the Developer

While it’s taken longer than expected, our residents are thrilled to be able to use their brand new state-of-the-art clubhouse, and we are equally excited about that! We’re hopeful that COVID is finally winding down, and we have been fortunate to have strong sales all through the fall as we continue to bring new neighbors into this wonderful community. Demand for our new models has been strong and sales have been brisk, and we’re anticipating our biggest and best year ever in 2022.

The community social committee has been busy planning events for the coming year, too. Be sure to call our sales manager, Anne Marie Burgo, for your private tour of the new clubhouse and professionally decorated models. We’d love to see you!

YOUR SEASONAL HOME MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

Home chores may not be your first choice for how to spend a Saturday, but regular preventive maintenance can keep small problems from becoming big headaches, saving you time and money in the long run. The following seasonal approach to caring for your home will help you tackle tasks at the right time without feeling overwhelmed.

Adjust ceiling fans to spin clockwise (to distribute the warmer air near the ceiling).
Clean the refrigerator and freezer; vacuum the coils on the back of the unit.
Check seals on doors and windows and replace weather stripping where necessary.
Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter.
Clean and organize the basement, garage and other storage areas.
Check ventilation and the seals on ducts in the attic to prevent ice dams in cold winter climates.

The Best Beef Stew

This stew has tons of flavor thanks to the herbs, red wine and balsamic vinegar.
Cozy winter comfort food can warm up even the coldest nights!
Total Time: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 2 hours

Serves 6

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups beef broth
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, divided
2 bay leaves
3 cups cubed peeled potatoes
3 cups coarsely chopped onions (about 2 large)
2 cups sliced carrots
2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
Additional fresh rosemary, optional

Directions

1. In a small bowl, toss beef and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a large bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour and paprika. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and toss to coat.
2. In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste, Herbes de Provence and garlic; cook until fragrant and color starts to darken slightly. Add wine; cook until mixture just comes to a boil. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, 1 teaspoon rosemary and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is almost tender, about 1-1/2 hours.
3. Add potatoes, onions and carrots. Cover; simmer until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.
4. Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 tablespoon flour. Add cold water and vinegar; stir until smooth. Stir into stew. Bring to a boil; add peas. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. If desired, top with additional fresh rosemary.
