Featured Recipe: Fresh Mozzarella, Heirloom Tomato & Basil Pizza

June 24, 2015 posted by Sara Paxton

With summer officially upon us, slice up the first of her bounty, with garden fresh tomatoes. Pick pungent basil right off the plant and with garlic and oil make the most flavorful pesto. Our summer-inspired recipe requires only 5 ingredients and a few pantry staples giving you a fantastic summer dish without all of the fuss. From backyard gardens to our local farmer’s markets, tomatoes and these fresh ingredients are in abundance and this is a great way to create a fresh twist on a crowd favorite. Fresh Mozzarella, Heirloom Tomato & Basil Pizza

What You’ll Need

· 12 ounces refrigerated fresh pizza dough

· ½ cup fresh basil leaves

· 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

· 3 garlic cloves

· 1 tablespoon water

· 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

· 2 (6-ounce) heirloom tomatoes, cut into ¼ inch thick slices

· ½ teaspoon kosher salt

· ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature before rolling it out. If it still shrinks back when you start to work with the dough, let it rest for another 10 minutes, and then try again.

2. Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven. Preheat oven to 500° (keep pizza stone or baking sheet in oven as it preheats).

3. Place basil, 1 tablespoon oil, and garlic in a mini food processor; pulse 3 times to form a paste. Add 1 tablespoon water; pulse until smooth.

4. Roll dough into a 14-ich circle on a floured surface; pierce entire surface liberally with a fork. Carefully remove pizza stone from oven. Arrange dough on pizza stone. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon oil over dough. Top evenly with cheese and tomatoes. Bake at 500° for 11 minutes or until crust is browned and crisp. Drizzle basil mixture over pizza; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Cut into 12 slices.

For a pretty finishing touch, save a few small bail leaves to sprinkle over the top after it cooks.

Hands-on: 22 minutes Total: 55 minutes

Neighborhood Profile: Bird Island at Sunset Beach

June 18, 2015 posted by Karen Gaspar

Bird Island is the last undeveloped barrier island in Brunswick County, and one of the few remaining natural barrier islands in the mid-Atlantic region. At one time, Bird Island was separated Black Skimmer from Sunset Beach by a tidal creek (Mad Inlet) that could only be crossed at low tide. Accretion of sand from storms and conservation efforts has gradually filled in the tidal creek so that two separate islands became one.
Privately owned prior to 2002, Bird Island was a prime target for resort development.

Handwritten pleas, posted in the Kindred Spirit mailbox located on the island (and a destination site in its own right) stopped development of the island. The State of North Carolina used $4.2 million dollars of public and private funding to purchase the land and create a coastal reserve, administered by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.

Now an uninhabited 1,300 acre State Preserve comprised of salt marsh, tidal creeks, highnatural dunes, and pristine sandy white beaches, Bird Island has become a popular destination. It is one of ten sites that make up the North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve. This coastal ecosystem is an outdoor laboratory about processes, functions, and influences that shape and sustain the coastal area.

The shoreline, dunes, and marshland of Bird Island provides important habitat and nesting for species that are endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Guided educational walks to Bird Island are hosted by the Bird Island Preservation Society Stewards. Walks begin at Sunset Beach’s 40^th Street walkover and the beach at 8:30 am every Wednesday from June through August, and last about 2 ½ hours.

Kindred Spirit Mailbox – “A Message For You…”

June 2, 2015 posted by Karen Gaspar

Kindred Spirits are those who share beliefs, attitudes, feelings, similar experiences, or make a special connection. This special connection is shared by people from all over the world. A bond Kindred-Spirit-Sunset-Beach formed as a result of the Kindred Spirit mailbox. It is a story of mystery and spiritual awakening. The Kindred Spirit mailbox has become a popular destination for many visitors to Sunset Beach, NC. No one knows who first placed the mailbox there more than 30 years ago, although they left this note: “Twenty seven years ago I walked the tide line of Bird Island. In the distance – right on the low tide line – I saw the silhouette of a rural mailbox. However, I never could reach it – for it was a mirage. The very next weekend, I “planted” the original Kindred Spirit mailbox”.

On the uninhabited state preserve of Bird Island now one with Sunset Beach, the mailbox resides among the dunes more than a mile past the last public beach access on Sunset Beach. Visitors can sit on a nearby bench and write their own personal message inside the mailbox’s journal. People pen thoughts, dreams, hopes, bits of wisdom, deepest secrets, and words of grief. It has become a place of solace and introspect with entries from new and returning visitors.

Messages can also be mailed to an associated P O Box where they are held with “love, honor, and respect by Kindred Spirit”. Full journals and worldwide messages are archived in the Randall Library at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for anyone to view. The Kindred Spirit also has its own website http://kindredspiritbox.com and many of the personal thoughts and hopes left in the mailbox are now published on the site.

Plan a visit. Feel the sand under your feet, listen to the waves, browse through the journals and letters, and take time to pen your own note. The mail box is waiting for you to become a Kindred Spirit.
