The Board meets the 2nd
Wednesday of the month at
4:00 PM at the Senior Center.
frs,
The holidays are here and a brand new year is only a few short weeks away. Can
you believe it? Let us be among the first to wish you and yours joy at the
holidays and peace and good health in the New Year. We at the Senior Center
look to 2021 with optimism, and we will continue to be only a phone call or
email away for assistance, reassurance, or just a heartfelt laugh. We don't know
when we'll be open to the public to enjoy all the things we had to stop last
March due to the Coronavirus, but please know how much we miss all of you
and that our 2021 wish is to be together again very soon!
Our December calendar is filled with exercise classes, a special concert of
Armenian music featuring piano and duduk, presentations on protecting
yourself from Medicare fraud, reviewing prescriptions for medication safety,
and helping you to discover new volunteer opportunities in retirement. I also
invite you to join my monthly Zoom coffee on December 15. The theme will be
"Looking Ahead," for you to share what you'd like to see more of in the new
year. I hope you'll join the conversation.
Happy Holidays from all of us to you and yours!

We all can have an active role in protecting Medicare
for ourselves and future generations. This workshop
will provide you with the tools to become a more
informed and engaged health care consumer

Memories ct Holiday parties
Christmas Dinner
CO'VID-Ig Edition! grab-n-qo!
December brings back lovely memories of our past
Holiday parties in the gym and at Hibernian Hall! What
fun we had! Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we
won't be having our parties this year, but we'd like to
have an opportunity to still be festive and see you —
from a distance.
We are offering a special boxed dinner from Maria's
Catering for $5.00. The dinner box includes Chicken
Piccata, mashed potatoes, Italian green beans with oil
& garlic, and two cannoli in a separate box for dessert.
The Council on Aging and the Friends of the Water-
town Council on Aging will be sharing the cost, to offer
this dinner to you for $5. Order by December 10 by '
calling the Senior Center at (617) 972-6490.
Then, come by the Senior Center to say hello to the
Staff and pick up your boxed dinner outside in a drive -
by fashion. Pick up date is Wednesday, December 23
from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the Senior Cente-
We're sorry we can't eat together, but we'll b
so happy to see you at this special Grab-n-Go
event! Thank you to the Friends of the Water
town Council on Aging for their support!
Happy Holidays and
{�hope

6hapama: Armenian Stuffed Pumpkin
Sweet, traditional Armenian dish is
filled with fruit, nuts, rice and honey.
Preparing the rice: Pour the boiling
water over the rice and simmer over
a low heat until nearly cooked. Keep in mind that the
rice will keep cooking whilst the pumpkin bakes.
Preparing the pumpkin: Cut out a round -shaped lid off
the top part of the pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds and
the fibrous parts of the pumpkin cavity. Use a spoon to
scrape some of the flesh off the pumpkin if the cavity is
small and the walls of the pumpkin are too thick. Coat/
massage the walls of the cavity with some butter and
honey. Set the pumpkin aside.
Preparing the fruit mixture: In a frying pan saute the
fruit, nuts and spices with the coconut oil and butter.
Add the diluted honey and heat for a further minute.
Cover the pan with a lid to keep warm.
Stuffing the pumpkin: Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
Spoon one layer of rice into the pumpkin and add a lay-
er of the fruit -and -nut mixture. Repeat until both are
used up. Warm the additional honey in the microwave
for 25 seconds and dilute it with a quarter cup of boiled
water. Pour the diluted honey into the pumpkin over
the rice mixture. Insert the cinnamon quill into the cen-
ter of the pumpkin. Place the "lid" back on the pumpkin.
Place the pumpkin on an oven -proof tray that is bigger
than the pumpkin to make it easier to plate whilst hot.
Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for about 1 hour and 30
minutes or until cooked through. Test doneness by in-
serting skewer vertically near the lid of the pumpkin so
that the liquid doesn't leak out. Before serving, allow
pumpkin to cool to a manageable temperature. You will
get the best flavor and texture if you leave it in the oven
to cool slowly for 5-6 hours.

Aghandz is made with perled wheat
and un-hulled hemp seeds. The
hemp seeds are a super food availa-
ble in health food stores. Aghandz is
a winter staple and it's served on
Christmas, New Year and at Trndez (a religious festivity)
1 cup of pearled wheat 1-2 TBSP of salt
0.5 cup of unhulled hemp seeds. 1 cup of water
Fuel Assistance Program
You may qualify for payments towards
winter heating bills, discounts on
monthly utility bills, a no -cost home en-
ergy assessment, free appliance re-
placement, and other energy -saving improvements
for your home, all at no cost to you.
LIHEAP, also known as Fuel Assistance, helps eligible
households challenged by the high cost of home
heating fuel pay a portion of their winter heating
bills. Homeowners and renters, including households
whose cost of heat is included in the rent, can apply
for LIHEAP. Households must apply each year; appli-
cations are mailed to households after the first year.
Fuel assistance payments for actual usage or fuel de-
livery are made directly to the heating vendor for pri-
mary energy needs from November 1st 2020 to APRIL
30TH 2O21 (except when cost of heating is included
in the rent).
FAMILY SIZE MAXIMUM ANNUAL
GROSS INCOME
1 $39,105
2 $51,137
3 $63,169
4 $75,201
5 $87,233
6 $99,265
Please contact our Case Worker Jenya Kruglyansky
for assistance at (617) 972-6490.
Soak the hemp in 1 cup of water adding 0.5 TBSP of
salt. Leave in water for 2 hours.
I suggest washing the pearled barley and spread on a
towel to dry.
Heat the nonstick pan adding the dried pearled barley.
Mix continuously with a wooden spoon until it is gold-
en color. Put immediately in a wooden or heat re-
sistant plate and cover with a towel to let it cool down
slowly. Strain the hemp and start toasting it in the
nonstick hot pan mixing it with a wooden spoon.
The hemp is ready when it starts to pop like a pop-
corn.
Take off the heat and add to the plate with pearled
barley. Mix it together and cover with a towel to cool
down. You can serve aghandz as is or mix with dried
fruits and nuts.
