When it comes to colon cancer detection,

45 is the new 50.

If you’re in your mid-40s and haven’t had your colon checked, it might be time. Screening guidelines have changed. The American Cancer Society’s guidelines for colon cancer screening now recommend that adults at average risk get screened starting at age 45 instead of 50. Getting screened is the first step in prevention. Talk to your doctor about which screening option is best for you. Methodist Dallas Medical Center providers offer personalized healthcare services for every stage of life and every state of health. Trust. Methodist.

M A RCUS M A RT How a new food pantry helps students make the grade

YOU’RE NOT YOU WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY , and that can affect your ability to learn. That’s why students at The Hockaday School converted a portable classroom into a food pantry at Herbert Marcus Elementary. The Marcus Mart opened this summer and provides nonperishable food items to students and families battling food insecurity. It’s located at the school on Northaven Road but is open to anyone in the community who is hungry. “Our campus is truly a neighborhood campus,” assistant principal Ruth Torres says. “Our students live in the surrounding apartments, and their siblings go to Marsh or W.T. White. The goal is not to turn anybody away.”

Hockaday students started working on the pantry in April, when they heard that food insecurity was an acute problem at Marcus. About 90% of Dallas ISD students are considered food insecure, according to the district. “You see children here who are frustrated because they’re hungry,” Torres says. “I get hangry, and our students are the same. It’s a big factor on their learning ability.” Children need nutrients so they can concentrate on learning, not on where they’re going to get their next meal. Food-insecure students are more likely to have lower test scores and may have to repeat a grade, according to the nonprofit Feeding America.

AUGUST 2021

Hockaday students stocked the pantry with items collected at school events. The Upper School amassed more than 1,000 items that were provided as admission to fine arts performances at the end of the year. The Middle School also pitched in by donating $7,000 in proceeds from its spring bazaar. The private school is collaborating with community partners like United to Learn to obtain continuous donations so the pantr y remains full throughout the year. It is primarily a source of food, but it may also have clothing, children’s books, personal hygiene products and school supplies in the future. T h e go a l i s t o u s e Ma r cus Mart as a prototype and replicate the project at other schools that need help. “ The students love it and keep asking to do more,” says Laura Day, executive director of the Institute for Social Impact at Hockaday. “The faculty loved it because it was so tangible and close. It was such a fun and enjoyable project.” About 30 Hockaday classmates and five faculty members spent nights and weekends outfitting the portable with shelves and cabinets. Ar t teachers and their s tudents brightened the space with warm, colorful lettering to make guests feel welcome. The pantry is open Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is staffed by Hockaday students who volunteer during their lunch period. “They’re very creative,” Marcus Elementary principal Jonatan Romero says. “I’m very g r a t e f u l f o r T h e Ho c k a d ay School and the support and love they’re bringing to our community.”

IF “SUMMER” ISN’T A VERB FOR YOU, and you’re in Dallas this season, no worries. Just chill out, and create some fun in the sun in your own backyard. Dining al fresco with a super simple menu and a few summer tips creates a laid-back vibe for easy entertaining. Everything you need for the quintessential relaxed summer shindig can be sourced here in the neighborhood at Preston Royal Shopping Center. “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen,” and grill some chicken and veggie kabobs on the deck instead. Serve room temp or cold with a refreshing Greek salad, hummus and fresh pita bread. Easier yet, pick up a family pack at Zoës Kitchen. Or keep it simple, and choose from the “ready to go” appetizers from Eatzi’s. How about their charcuterie board with salami, soppressata, provolone, Greek olives and marinated mozzarella balls? Moving forward, self-serve is the ticket, so plate everything on easy-care

Melamine serviceware from Ballard Designs. Tubs of iced craft beer and Topo Chicos from Tom Thumb keep guests cool, along with a cold pitcher of refreshing white sangria. My favorite pick-up dessert this season is Central Market’s lemon tart. Add fresh berries on top — and I dare you to eat only one sliver. It has just the right combination of sweet and tart and cold. I am obsessed. This is what summer tastes like. Keep decor simple with summer blooms and greenery from the yard and a pretty pop of color with Sur La Table napkins. Now for the fun part. Pop into Toy Maven and pick up some Super Soakers and a set of lawn darts. You’re never too old for the classic Slip and Slide. Well, maybe you are, but the concept is really cool, and they actually carr y the game. Pesky mosquitoes aren’t on the guest list, so don’t forget citronella candles and bug spray. A lively summer playlist and sunglasses are all you need now.

Heat 1 tablespoon of a cooking oil of your choice in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Lay the flesh side of the trout into the cooking oil. Cook for one to two minutes or until a dark crust forms. Use a spatula to turn the trout to the skin side and cook for two to three more minutes until the skin is crisp. Lower the heat if necessary. Turn the heat off, and transfer the trout onto a paper towel to rest. Put 3 ounces of TJ’s Creole sauce into the pan where you cooked the trout, and use the residual heat to warm the sauce until it simmers. You may have to turn the skillet to low heat. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve with your choice of sides. TJ’s serves theirs with green beans and mashed potatoes.

the brunch bunch WHERE TO EAT THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE WEEKEND

Story by RENEE UMSTED | Photography by KATHY TRAN

oo d la n d s A m e r i can Grill has been called the Cheers of Preston Hollow. For 13 years, it’s been a gathering place for locals, who often see someone they know there. And its standing as a neighborhood spot that serves weekend brunch has existed for almost as long. The current menu has undergone no substantial changes since it was created a decade ago. John Nickolas, the managing partner, says people love the crab cake eggs benedict. That’s ser ved with citrus hollandaise, ranchero, avocado cream and a side of Parmesan-truffle potatoes. Another favorite is the AUGUST 2021

French toast, stuffed with strawberry mascarpone and topped with honey berries and maple syrup. “We’ve just made minor changes because our guests like what we have, so it’s just not necessary to change on a regular basis,” Nickolas says. Many of the brunch offerings incorporate the restaurant’s spins on the classics. And some items available at the Preston Forest eatery, like the Hillcrest pita and the Preston Hollow plate, are named to reflect our neighborhood. All of that food needs to be washed down somehow. Adults have found the Bloody Mary and mimosas do just the trick. prestonhollow.advocatemag.com

The crab cake eggs benedict is a popular brunch option at Woodlands. It comes with Parmesan-truffle potatoes.

Woodlands will have daily features throughout the summer to keep the menu as fresh as its fruit skewered on kabobs. In the past, those specials have included options such as a jalapeño barbecue-brisket eggs benedict and a breakfast burger. If it’s a nice day, neighbors might opt for a wicker chair on the patio. But if it’s one of those hot and humid days that will inevitably occur in the coming months, guests can eat inside. The dining room is blanketed in inviting, warm tones and earthy materials like wood planks and stacked stones. A brunch at Woodlands is sure to offer neighbors the relaxed experience they crave on an easy weekend morning. In the words of Nickolas, it’s “a fun, light, casual atmosphere.” Woodlands American Grill, 6073 Forest Lane, 972-239-2024, woodlands-grill.com

y early afternoon one Monday in June, 80% of all credit cards swiped at Maple Leaf Diner that day had been used at the restaurant in the past. Only 20% were swiped for the first time to buy a bloody Caesar, nanaimo bar or poutine from the restaurant. Maple Leaf is a place where locals eat. There’s one man who visits four or five times a week. Another group of men orders meat for breakfast every day. People expect “not to go away hungry, that’s for sure,” says Canadian-born Michael Delaurier, who opened the restaurant near Preston Road and LBJ in 2015. Sometimes the appearance of a restaurant on a TV show will lead to an influx in customers, causing regulars to avoid the place and crowds. That hasn’t been the case with Maple Leaf. It’s been featured on programs including Incredible Edible America and Food Paradise. Locals just keep coming. Savvy neighbors will join the waitlist online, especially on the weekend, as Delaurier recommends. The most popular breakfast order by far is the chicken, bacon and waffles, which includes fried chicken, bacon and a waffle, topped with strawberries, whipped cream and cream puffs. It can be ordered in the morning or evening. The same goes with the rest of the menu. Delaurier’s favorite item is the Canadian eggs benedict, which comes with peameal bacon — the real Canadian bacon. Originally, pork loins were cured with salt and coated with ground peas, which would absorb moisture. Now, producers use cornmeal instead of peas. Maple Leaf had to make peameal bacon in house for a while, due to a lack of suppliers. But Delaurier eventually found a smokehouse in the Northeast that made it “almost identical” to the stuff he used to eat at home. Food offerings stay the same, though there’s a special poutine each month. “We always crazy pride ourselves on just making everything great,” Delaurier says. “Like crazy customer service all the time, and great food.”

So you’re hungry for brunch, eh?

Mexican-inspired morning munches

brunch at José is just as colorful and vibrant as the golden booth cushions lining the restaurant’s interior. In the huevos rancheros, sunny side up eggs are topped with chorizo, black beans and fresh avocado. Steak and eggs could be heavy, but José freshens up the dish with bell peppers, kale and tomatillo sauce. It’s not just the food that makes a brunch at the restaurant on Lovers Lane and upbeat. It’s the loud music, too. Sometimes it’s Luis Miguel. Sometimes it’s Latin indie. And it’s the guests. They often come in larger groups, looking to reunite after a year of lockdowns, looking to celebrate postponed remembrances of birthdays and anniversaries. “We’re pretty lively and loud and fun all the time,” says chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman. When she became the chef almost three years ago, Quinones-Pittman wanted to bring back the classics, like French toast. But José’s is not the average French toast. It’s Mexican French toast. Instead of brioche, José uses a Mexican sweet bread called

concha. Instead of a berry sauce, José hits the egg-soaked bread with cajeta, a Mexican caramel sauce. Instead of maple syrup, José tops the dish with piloncillo syrup, made with Mexican brown sugar. There’s also the Mexican eggs benedict. A sope, which is like a thick tortilla, replaces the traditional English muffin as the foundation for a pile of black beans, avocado, poached eggs and chile de arbol hollandaise. The Mexican influence on José’s brunch menu is strong. Many of the offerings — like chilaquiles and huevos rancheros — and the ingredients that form them are common in Mexican households. Quinones-Pittman expects the menu to stay basically the same throughout the summer. The most recent addition to the menu is the watermelon frosé, which became permanent after being a popular special feature for Mother’s Day. But if that doesn’t strike a fancy, Quinones-Pittman can vouch for the mimosas, too. José, 4931 W. Lovers Lane, 214.891.5673, info@jose.mx, jose.mx

WORSHIP

By MATTHEW RUFFNER

Healing our world I t a l ways ta kes l o n ge r to re pa i r t h a n i t d o es to tea r d ow n

was surprised at how good it felt to stand in line at the newly re-opened Central Market. As I stood in line with my bounty of Pam’s Pimento Cheese, a memory came rushing back of standing in that same checkout line a few years ago, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. My daughter, Olivia, who was four at the time, and I had made our extravagant final selections. We were ready to justify our splurges in the name of thankfulness when the cashier asked, “Would you like to feed a hungry family in Dallas and ensure they have a Thanksgiving meal by making a $1, $5, or $10 donation?” Olivia replied immediately, “Yes, we would!” And the cashier asked, “Would you like to give “1, 5, or 10?” Olivia, without missing a beat, said, “10!” The cashier looked at me, and I confirmed with a nod of the head and a brief verbal confirmation, “ Yes, 10.” I figured it would be the cheapest thing in the cart! As we drove home, I asked Olivia why she was so quick to reply to the cashier and donate. She replied, “Because the cashier said, ‘There is a family that is hungry in Dallas and wouldn’t have a Thanksgiving meal.’ Daddy, we have to do our part to repair the world.” She took a long pause and then said, “Isn’t

that right, daddy?” “That’s right, sweetheart.” We drove a bit more, and I had to ask her. “Olivia, where did you learn that we are to repair the world?” “Don’t you remember daddy? That’s my classroom name at Temple Emanu-El! Remember, dad; we are the Tikkun-Olam class,” she said “That’s right. You are the Tikkun-Olam class,” the Hebrew phrase meaning to repair/heal the world. I paid for my Pam’s Pimento Cheese and walked to my car. The memory lingered and settled just on top of my heart. As I put the car in reverse, I had a sense of gratefulness for the memory that revealed what was true about the renewed building I had just exited. It always takes longer to repair and heal than it does to tear down. So, my friends, may we be a people and a community that seeks to repair and heal our world. With great hope, Matthew Rev.

Don’t think of clean eating as just a trendy diet. The places you eat should prepare food correctly — with washed hands on clean surfaces.

The good news is that there are plenty of nearby neighborhood resources to help ease into that transition. Here are a few tips from neighborhood senior resources to consider if you’re evaluating options for a senior you love. TAC K L E T R A N S P O RTAT I O N . Everyone’s on the go, but for seniors getting around can be tricky.

Check out the property’s vibe, the community feeling and then decide.” REFRAME THE OUTLOOK. When considering a move to a senior living community, “potential residents often think in terms of loss,” says Jennifer Griffin, VP of engagement with CC Young Senior Living. “Really, the focus should be on the gains - with a new community, new friends, new experiences, new hobbies — and so much more,” Griffin says. “With all the positive benefits gained, we often hear new residents wonder ‘why did I wait so long?’”
