mad mac / The Chocolate Lounge hosts ‘sweet success’ grand opening event BY BARI AUERBACH

“W

elcome to the ultimate world of chocolate and pastries!” was the greeting extended to members of the Aventura Marketing Council and Greater North Miami Chamber of Commerce when mad mac / The Chocolate Lounge hosted a “sweet success” grand opening-networking reception at Biscayne Commons shopping plaza. Pascal Cohen, owner of mad mac / The Chocolate Lounge, welcomed business and community leaders to the gala event featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony with city officials including Aventura Mayor Susan Gottlieb and North Miami Mayor Andre Pierre, applauding the recipe for “sweet success”: high-quality chocolates and truffles, combined with a flavorful line of macarons, homemade pastries, imaginative ice cream creations, premium cakes and desserts – swirled with delicious appetizers and enticing entrees for lunch or dinner. While the record turnout of guests enjoyed socializing and networking to the

tunes of a live cellist, it was “music to everyone’s ears” to hear mad mac’s internationally-recognized chefs Florian Bellanger and Ludovic Augendre create high-quality, exclusive recipes that are not only delicious - but healthy using fresh, pure ingredients. Those who believe eating chocolate can release “fountain of youth” endorphins were especially impressed by the famous fourfoot tall Chocolate Fountain, mouthwatering masterpieces of pastries and chocolates and an amazing Chocolate Museum where families can discover the history of cocoa from the Aztec era to present-day. Proving “quality and taste are a simple matter of who’s wearing the apron,” mad mac also received word-of-mouth rave reviews for appetizers, lunch and dinner specialties including smoked salmon, crab cakes, gourmet salads and sandwiches, focaccia, pasta dishes, pot pies and fantastic fondues.

Around Town in Aventura Aventura City of Excellence School, (ACES) seventh annual Career Day, huge success ACES seventh annual Career Day was a huge success bringing special guest speakers from throughout the Aventura business community to share with students the remarkable and unique recipes that have provided these individuals with success in their professional lives. Throughout the day, ACES students had the good fortune to learn about an array of career opportunities spanning from party planning, public relations, marketing and real estate to medicine, dentistry, law, financial planning, computer technology and business management. Guest speakers familiarized students with a glimpse of the education required to attain their success along with the daily activities involved in their practice combined with the simple message that commitment and determination combined with a good education produces great rewards. “We were so pleasantly surprised to arrive to the school and find the students dressed in their own favorite career garb and acting the part of their chosen career path,” said Jeff Levinson, Sabadell United Bank. “As they say, possession is nine tenths of the law and it’s certainly evident that these students are excited and motivated to own their future careers!”

M.A.D. Mobile Assistant Direct helps with computer problems “Get M.A.D. and get even” with your pesky computer problems and frustrations with designing the ‘right’ Excel spreadsheet for your upcoming work or home project. M.A.D., the acronym for Mobile Assistant Direct, a new start-up business owned and operated by Madelyn Fradkin of Aventura, is an off-site business assistance service offering any secretarial services that you may need. M.A.D. works on an hourly basis without having to pay a full-time employee (imagine the savings in benefits alone). You’d have to wonder if Madelyn’s “gone mad” or if it might be her abbreviated nickname… but whatever the case, there’s no one better to solve your document dilemma or teach you how to do it yourself. Here’s how it works: You know you have been operating inefficiently and you’ve decided you want to save time and save money.

Best part is, if you forget a step or need more help, she’s just a phone call away and always answers the phone herself without an ounce of stress in her voice! Most recently, the Aventura Marketing Council had a computer glitch with an outdated mail-merge system. One call to M.A.D. Madelyn, “I’ll be there in 30 minutes,” and she was! Now AMC Executive Assistant Jessica Bert is hooked. “Madelyn was absolutely terrific,” said Jessica. “I knew there was a better way to organize these lists I had been compiling and when I explained to Madelyn exactly what I was trying to accomplish, she not only showed me how to accomplish that task, but showed me an even better way to do what I was trying to accomplish – and it was fun working with her.” For information, call Madelyn Fradkin, Mobile Assistant Direct, at 786-489-4916.

Don’t fail to plan — let Melnick, Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs, handle your financial future

BY LYNN CARROLL

PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS FOR PROVOCATIVE PEOPLE SC: I think one of the biggest changes for 2011 is that, for one year only, the Social Security deduction for employees was lowered by 2% of gross. So everybody’s pay check will go up 2% of their gross salary. Also, for the first time this year, we can’t file a personal or trust paper return for a client unless they specifically ask us to in writing. The IRS is trying to get to 100% electronic filing. For the same reason, businesses have to make payroll deposits online now. You can no longer walk a check to the bank.

TIPS FOR THE TAX SEASON AND BEYOND FROM PARTNERS ROBERT LILIENFELD AND SUZI CASTONGUAY

RL: Also, for 2011 they raised the estate tax limit to $5 million per person, so very few are going to have to file an estate tax return.

Costco North Miami Beach previews Glatt Kosher Department, Feb. 13 - 17 BY LYNN CARROLL

Costco Wholesale North Miami Beach, 14585 Biscayne Blvd., is previewing a new Glatt Kosher Department during a “Roadshow” from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Feb. 13th-17th. And through March, Costco is giving out $20 gift cards to those who join as Executive Members and $10 cards to those who join as Gold Star Members. As for the menu, look for such kosher staples as Cucumber Salad, Health Salad and sour pickles knish and knishettes, and –– except Feb. 17th –– Nova Lox, Whitefish Salad, Steelhead, Mahi Mahi and Peppered Salmon. Then, depending on the day, there may be samples of Natural and Kosher Mozzarella Sticks, Pierogies and Blintzes, taboule and hummus. On Feb. 14th and 15th, sample Israeli Couscous and kosher grape juice. On Feb. 13th and 16th, try the

Hamantashen and Season Sardines. Costco will be featuring a great assortment of kosher meats, too –– and on all five days, look for the Chocolate Babka, seven-layer cake and Rainbow Bars. Costco is a membership warehouse club dedicated to bringing members the best possible prices on quality brand-name merchandise. With hundreds of locations worldwide, Costco provides a wide selection of merchandise, plus the convenience of specialty departments and exclusive member services, all designed to make the shopper’s experience a pleasurable one. “And remember, there isn’t anything you can’t find at Costco that won’t help to maximize your savings and convenience,” says Lisa Scheinert, Costco North Miami Beach director of marketing.

For information, call 305-9448711.

RL: With proper planning, there are a lot of things people can do, including gift-giving to children and relatives, charitable contributions, putting money in pension plans, 401K, IRAs and even health savings accounts. I like to say that people don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan. And planning is a year-round process. There’s a lot more to it than paying taxes. L C : D o y o u h a v e a n y c a v e a t s f o r people i n t h i s f i n a n c i a l e n v i ro n m e n t ? RL: In South Florida, we still have this chaos of short sales, loan modifications and so on, and there are a lot of tax effects from these actions. For example, a short sale will not only hurt your credit, but also damage your ability to get another mortgage for anywhere from two to four years, depending on the institutions. There may also be an additional tax bill to pay. This

is something that has to be seriously considered. SC: I think one thing we’re seeing right now is that people want their accountant to be more of a consultant than just a tax preparer. This is something we at Melnick, Lilienfeld & Castonguay have always preached. I’ve been associated with the firm since 1989, and one thing I’ve always liked about it is that everyone here really wants to help clients achieve their goals or work out any tax issues. We’re large enough to provide clients with a wide range of specialized services, but small enough to know them on a personal level.

Miami Gardens Florist is ready to go beyond your last “WOW!” BY LYNN CARROLL

It’s always a challenge to come up with a floral expression that will make a memorable impression –– unless you leave it up to the talented and professional designers at Miami Gardens Florist. That’s the word from Shelley Costin, MGF co-founder and coowner with husband Steve. And, she says, the word from their customers is always, “Wow!” “When you call MGF,” Shelley says, “you know you’re in good hands as soon as you hear our familiar greeting –– ‘the answer is yes; what’s your question?’” Anyone impressed with the products and services they either ordered or received quickly learns that next time around they’ll be amazed! Is amazed better than WOW? For Valentine’s Day this year, MGF has, as always, an extraordinary and exciting inventory of roses, a fine and fabulous family of orchid plants and an alluring array

of blooms from all over the world. Really, all our flowers come from around the world. “In fact,” Shelley exclaims, “the roses that are coming in are absolutely breathtaking. The reds are the biggest and juiciest I have ever seen in our 32 years in business. Peaches, pinks, yellow and white round out the choices. And there are several “mixtures”. You know the mixologists well-kept secret.” Add to that Miami Gardens striking supply of glittering glassware and you have all the makings of a floral masterpiece anyone will cherish today –– and remember for many years to come. “And our prices have remained stable over the past few years,” adds Steve, “even with the cost of everything else on the rise.” Since MGF has built so loyal a customer base in so large an area, the volume of business they do means the Costins are able to order directly from suppliers—a farm

Without a Valentine

Patricia C. Frank FRANKLY SPEAKING A Valentine is someone who loves you or someone you love romantically. A Valentine is someone with whom you share strong feelings of intimacy and passion. Ideally, it is someone who returns your feelings of love and affection. Hopefully, your valentine is also your partner in life. Not everyone has a Valentine. Some people never experience romantic love in all its glory. They never experience the ardor and intensity of a deep, mutual and emotional connection. They seem to attract and choose inappropriate and unavailable romantic partners. If you find yourself in that situation take heart you can change your situation. If you wish to have a romantic love in your life you need to change certain things. What you have been thinking, feeling and doing has not worked. When something isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working you need to tweak it and fix it. Take a look at yourself in a full-length mirror both clothed

and unclothed. How is your body? Does your weight project the image of someone who has control over their emotional issues and does not use food to avoid them? What message is your appearance sending? Are you projecting a clean, neat person who has enough self-esteem to care about themselves and how they look? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just change your external appearance listen to your thoughts and words. Are you critical, discouraged, or depressed? Do you feel inadequate or insecure? If you are worried about money you will attract poor or jobless individuals. If you are projecting a strong image you will attract weak or dependent individuals. If you are projecting a caregiver image then you will attract damaged or needy individuals. Think about some changes inside of yourself that you can make to project a different image. Then take action and work on your issues. Consider how you spend your time. It happens to be true that you will never meet someone at home. You need to be out and about. Remember, you deserve and are entitled to a heartthrob and a Valentine. Patricia Frank is a Licensed Psychotherapist. She can be reached at 305-788-4864, 212-308-0309.

‘Looking for love’

Bari Auerbach LIFE IN THE CITY It’s almost Valentine’s Day and if you don’t have a sweetheart yet, here are some tips on how you could find the love of your life - right here in Aventura: * Instead of wearing baggy sweatpants to Publix, dress a little nicer and go shopping around the time people get off work. Then when you spot someone you really want to meet, have some clever questions ready...If you’re kind of short, you can ask, “Can you reach that frozen spinach up on the top shelf for me?” And if you’re a single parent, you can ask, “Did you know which cereal has the best toy surprise inside?” * Starbucks is always great for an afternoon “pick me up”...You could go in for a tall cafe latte and wind up meeting someone tall, dark and handsome. Or you could order a passion

ice tea and start feeling very passionate about a non-fat frapp girl. * If your mandate is “must love dogs,” then Aventura’s dog park could be the perfect place to meet a new two-legged best friend who shares your animal instinct for fun and won’t personify any of your pet peeves! * Barnes & Noble bookstore is a “novel” place to meet singles you can tell a lot about just by looking at what they’re reading. For example, would you rather strike up a conversation with a guy glued to “Fortune 500” or “Playboy” – or a girl riveted to “Cosmo” or “Modern Bride”? * At Aventura gyms, you could find the right “fit” - just remember these tips: Take your headphones off so you can hear someone say hello; let all the cute ones work in with you; if you’re a girl, take a boxing class; if you’re a guy, take a yoga class...And if you make a fitness connection, just think how much fun you’ll have thinking of creative ways to burn more calories! If all else fails, you can simply pour your heart out sharing public displays of affection for loving life in the City of Aventura!

Strength. Commitment. Expertise.

Now, smiles all around...

“

I love bringing a smile - a beautiful smile - to my patients.

But running a Dental practice? That left me frowning more than once. Until I switched my banking to TotalBank. There, my personal banker introduced me to integrated banking services and a level of knowledgeable, personal service I’d never received before. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a smile saver. Now, the business side of my practice is humming along with sophisticated banking products and services, all with the backing of the $185 billion Banco Popular in Spain. That’s strength: people, technology, and the resources to back it all up. That’s why I bank with TotalBank.

Letting food spoil like throwing away money Al Sunshine CBS MONEY WATCH You can save money simply by conserving the products you have. For example, the cost of wasted food in America totals $155 billion a year. That equates to 500 pounds of food per family that’s thrown out in the trash. Consider the fact that consumers throw out 2 billion gallons of milk every year once it goes bad. In fact, the best place to keep milk is in the back of the refrigerator. Why? Because properly stored milk can last up to a week past its sell-by date. When it comes to eggs, you also should keep those in the coldest part of your fridge. Americans throw out more than 2 billion pounds of eggs every year. You always should keep eggs in the carton they came in. Did you know that some veggies don’t mix? Apples give off gas. And broccoli spoils faster near apples. So it’s best to keep them apart. Americans also throw away 280 million tires every year. Studies show that consumers neglect the rubber that hits the road. What’s more, 55 percent of our cars have at least one tire that is underinflated. The solution is to check tire pressure monthly. Want to be a lean mean jeans-wearing machine? It turns out that keeping jeans clean is not the answer. Levis — the company that’s been making jeans for more than 150 years — says you shouldn’t wash

your new jeans for at least six months. After that, only wash them every two weeks and let them dry naturally, upside down to preserve their length, shape and color. Levis also recommends spot-cleaning your jeans if you have to, and using an odor-eliminating spray like Febreze if you’re worried that they may be a little smelly. One last hint: Your razors will last longer if you dry them off after you use them and avoid storing them in the shower. THE FORECAST FOR FORECLOSURE Foreclosure activity increased last year in 149 of the nation’s 206 metropolitan areas with a population of 200,000 or more, which suggests that the foreclosure problem has yet to peak. The year-end report from RealtyTrac, a foreclosure marketing firm, also showed the 10 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates all posted decreasing foreclosure activity since 2009. Six of the top 10 also posted decreasing foreclosure activity from 2008. Analysts say that suggests stability may be returning to the hardest-hit markets. “Foreclosure floodwaters receded somewhat in 2010 in the nation’s hardest-hit housing markets,” said James J. Saccacio, CEO of RealtyTrac. “Even so, foreclosure levels remained five to 10 times higher than historic norms in most of those hardhit markets, where deep fault lines of risk remain and could potentially trigger more waves of foreclosure activity in 2011 and beyond.

Here are a few of my favorite things I hate BY ERNIE SOCHIN

It’s great writing for a newspaper. As well as a huge paycheck ($000.00), I get to vent all my frustrations. I used to do it on the radio and, of course, everybody wanted to chime in. You can do the same thing in print so here goes my list of things that I hate. • Those stupid buttons just above the cuffs on men’s long sleeve shirts. They are almost impossible to button once the shirt is on and what purpose do they serve anyway? I estimate that I have spent a total of 20 days doing this in my lifetime. As I get older those days become even more precious. • The lady in front of me in the checkout line who wants to use up the change in her purse to give the cashier the exact amount. See how long she takes next time she is in front of you. • The driver who rushes to get into the lane in front of you and then drives 10 mph below the speed limit. • My dryer that makes single socks disappear. I did a radio show on this one time and

got continuous calls for five hours from people with the same problem. • Those frozen food packages with the delicious looking photos on the outside. We all know what is actually inside. Blech! • Those things that fall out of the magazine as I am trying to read them. (Don’t mention this to my wife. She works for a company that arranges to insert them.) • Neighbors who somehow don’t hear their own dogs barking. How come I can hear them so clearly? • The tons of junk in my mailbox everyday. Frankly, if they cut delivery to once a week, I will not complain. • The emails that you must send to everyone you know as soon as possible or the earth will end or something worse. Yeah, sure! If you really want stuff to forward, I have a friend in Nigeria with millions of dollars, which he just has to send to the U.S. and needs a bank account number to send it to. • People who attend meetings just for the opportunity to speak on and on. They use words like paradigm. Partnering, weighing in on a subject, etc., they usually have nothing new to contribute but take a long time doing it. I just attended a conference full of people who speak archispeak (architects). I have never seen a bunch of people who can take so long to say so little. • People who are against just about anything

new. In politics they are called CAVE people. Citizens Against Virtually Everything, and a new one — Banana People: Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything. Every town has them. (Please readers, I’m not talking about you!) • Very rich people who tell you that they have had to cut their vacation to Capri this year to two months because of the economy. Boo hoo. • People who build gigantic homes for just the two of them. I think we should pass

a law that a sign be placed in front stating exactly how they got so rich. Some examples: Drug dealer, indicted public official, crooked banker or lawyer, Medicare cheat. You know, just so we have an idea and won’t feel so jealous. I just returned from a beautiful town where no one lives except in the summer months. The homes were beautiful and charming little cottages but empty 10 months of the year. Give me one and I’ll promise to use it all year long. What a waste! You probably can pick one up for under $2 million.

Nissan LEAF: The future is now for automobiles Ron Beasley AUTOMOTIVE EDITOR

LET’S TALK CARS The Nissan LEAF is the future for automobiles, and the future is now. I recently finished three days behind the wheel of the amazing little four-door hatchback and I am even more impressed with this car now than when I first drove it at the press preview in Tennessee last fall. It simply is astounding how good the technology is in Nissan’s initial effort at building an all-electric powered automobile. The LEAF is an amazing car to drive. Push a button on the dash and the motor starts without a sound. Only the dash lights flashing on tells you that the car is operational. An oversize toggle switch shifter on the center console allows you to put the car in drive or reverse. Once on the road, the car moves in soundless wonder. There’s no engine noise or exhaust rumble and no whine from the transmission because the LEAF doesn’t have an engine or transmis-

sion. The silence is almost eerie. At a starting price of $33,630, the LEAF is the least expensive battery-electric production car on the market today. With its 24 kilowatt-hour battery, it qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit, bringing the price down to $26,130. However, the initial 2011 model production run of 20,000 vehicles already has been sold (though delivery is still pending on most of them). Nissan promises a larger production in 2012. The LEAF essentially is a commuter vehicle. It will take you to work and back and allow you to run all of your errands, all on a single battery charge. With a fully charged battery, it has a range of 100 miles (we got 117 miles in a recent test). You can plug the LEAF into a standard 110-volt household circuit to recharge the batteries, though you have to use the charger and heavy-duty cable that comes with the car, neatly stashed in zippered canvas bag in the trunk and it’ll take about eight hours for a full recharge. Meantime, Nissan is leading the way in developing a public charging infrastructure in cities around the country and at rest stops along the interstate highway system, the lack of places to re-charge being the biggest problem for electric car owners. Obviously,

Nissan LEAF is an all-electric four-door hatchback commuter vehicle.

if trips are within 100 miles or if you can re-charge at your destination, then the absence of public charging stations is not a problem. Nissan says a network of fastcharging stations will be in place within the next year. LEAF owners can buy a Quick Charge Port for $700, which will enable the use of a direct current fast-charger to bring the LEAF batteries back to 80 percent of

capacity within 30 minutes. Nissan also offers a 220-volt home charging unit ($2,200 installed) that recharges the batteries in four hours.

Williams Island Marina to open booth at Miami International Boat Show BY LYNN CARROLL

In addition to showcasing the latest in luxury craft, the Miami International Boat Show, held Feb. 17-21 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, will give boating enthusiasts a chance to get to know more about the Williams Island Marina and the new upgrades that have recently been finished there. “There’s no better place to preview the new boating season,” says Bill Draughon, marina manager for Williams Island Marina, “so it’s a great time to drop in and talk to us. We’ll be set up in Booth 1904 in the Dive and Travel Area.” Owners of larger vessels, he says, will be pleased to know that Williams Island recently added 600 feet of new dockage. “Vessels up to 160 feet in length are welcome,” Draughon said, “and those under 60 feet can expect reduced rates.” The upgrades, he says, also include

changes to electrical services. “We’re now providing three-phase power to 1,000 feet of the docks,” Draughon says. “Also new is a pump-out system at 22 slips in our North Marina area.” No residency requirements apply at the marina, he adds, and those who choose to dock there can enjoy many of the fabulous Williams Island amenities at no additional charge. They include club membership and access to three restaurants, the spa, the tennis courts and all swimming pools. The marina, Draughon says, is spread around the 80-acre island, which proudly sports the nickname of The Florida Riviera. Stop by for a tour any time at 7100 Island Boulevard, Williams Island.

MSMC ‘Celebrates’ Heart Month and National Wear Red Day Employees star in music video encouraging community heart health

BY JOANNA PALMER

Set to the music of Kool & The Gang’s “Celebrate”, but with heart-healthy lyrics, the employees of Mount Sinai Medical Center produced and appear in their very own music video to promote heart health during February, American Heart Month. Donning heart-shaped glasses, antennas and fans, employees from all departments within the hospital including nursing, pharmacy, engineering, food/nutrition services, resident fellow doctors, human resources, environmental, IT, rehabilitation, radiology, laboratory as well as the hospital’s top administrators and chief of cardiology all make an appearance in the video. Mount Sinai’s “Celebrate” video can be viewed on Youtube by searching for Mount Sinai Medical Center Florida or on the Mount Sinai website (www.msmc.com/press-promotion). Employees sing, dance and form a giant, beating heart to end the video. “Heart disease continues to be the number one killer of all Americans which is why we felt we had to find a way to communicate a serious message” said Mount Sinai President and CEO, Steve Sonenreich. “We had a wonderful time making this video but we hope the message of taking care of your heart will resonate with our community.” In 1963, Congress proclaimed February “American Heart Month” in an effort to urge Americans to join the battle against heart disease. In addition, the first Friday of every February was proclaimed “National Wear Red Day”. By wearing red, Americans show their support for the fight against heart disease and honor loved ones who have been claimed by the disease. Employees of

Mount Sinai wore red on Friday, February 4th to show their support in the fight against heart disease. “ W e hope that by creating this music video our community will heed the message in the clever lyrics both today, on National Wear Red Day, as well as every day of the year,” said Dr. Gervasio Lamas, Chief of the Columbia University Division of Cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center. “There’s some caring going on right here, an intervention to give you quality years, So get your lab work, and your stress test, too And we’re gonna take good care of you, come on now! Celebration! Let’s celebrate, it’s all right Celebration! Let’s celebrate, at Mount Sinai, Celebrate good health, come on!”

About Mount Sinai Medical Center Founded in 1949, Mount Sinai Medical Center is the largest independent, private, not-for-profit teaching hospital in South Florida. Mount Sinai’s Centers of Excellence combine technology, research and academics to provide innovative and comprehensive care in Cardiology, Urology, Neurology, Oncology and Orthopaedics.

Gearing Up for Great Guacamole

Shari Lynn Rothstein-Kramer

EAT THIS... DRINK THAT Guacamole is one of my favorite things to eat. I like it chunky, smooth, spicy, bland…you name it. As long as it’s green and it contains avocado, it’s on my “to eat” list. I’ve been thinking about all of the different preparations and what’s my least to most favorite ways to eat it, and where you can get the best guac when dining out. Here’s what I came up with: Let’s begin at Gulfstream Park, with Cantina Laredo. You get a lovely tableside presentation, and there are more ingredients then I personally think are necessary. However, when all is said and done, the sum of the parts is successful. There is a lovely stone mortar filled with creamy, mouth-watering guacamole, a bit of spiciness, bursts of lemon, and lots of flavor. It’s approximately $14 for a bowl that feeds two to three. Chili’s (yes, I am actually writing about a chain) recently started offering a fire grilled corn guacamole that packs a lot of heat (the chef is heavy handed on the jalapeños). I like this offering. The avocados are creamy, the texture is a mixture of smooth and chunks, and there is never a lack of flavor. Little niblets of corn explode and are a welcomed respite from the heat. (I prefer my guac to be bland so I can taste the avocado). There is no presentation, but the servings are generous. And with Chili’s $20 dinner for two, it’s a “best buy” you just can’t beat. Rosa Mexicana, down on Brickell is another “tableside guacamole” eatery.

Taken from the original in NYC, this restaurant is known for its Guacamole en Molcajete. They too, mix Haas avocados with lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, onion, tomato, jalapeños, and more into a lovely mortar of decadence. They ask guests what they do and do not want in their mash up and take it from there. Again, approximately $14. I still think theirs is one of the best. Naturally, as a foodie, I love to eat out but sometimes, when you want exactly what you want the way you want it, it’s best to do it yourself. I always prefer my guac on the “plain” side, so I can taste the true flavor of the avocado. It’s great to accent the deliciousness, but let’s face it – overkill is overkill. Too much is not always just enough. Sometimes it’s just too much. So, when I can’t find the place that will give it to me straight up, that’s when I break out the mortar and pestle and whip up my favorite guacamole from scratch. Here’s my recipe: Shari’s Guacamole 1 Large Florida Avocado (Skinny-Cado for calorie conscious) 1 Haas Avocado (For depth of Flavor) 1 Roma tomato (diced small) 1/2 lime Cilantro to taste salt & pepper Peel & Pit both avocados. The Florida avocado is bigger and will make more; the Haas will add depth of flavor and creaminess. Add diced tomato. Squeeze the lime juice in. Add salt and pepper and “smash” with the pestle. It is pure, simple and delicious. For variety, throw in a bit of cilantro, onion, or garlic powder. Serve with chips.

• EDUCATIONAL AND TEEN ADVICE • Toby Rose ASK TOBY A friend and I read your column the other night and she and I both want to know why is it that in High School girls are so concerned with having serious relationships with guys? The simplest answer that I can give you is hormonal, just as boys are interested in having relations with you. Whether you are heterosexual or homosexual, by the time you reach high school you start feeling the need to connect with the person of the same sex or another sex. That’s normal; how you react to the situation is what’s important and that would take me an hour. If you are interested, please call me at 305238-7737 and I will set up an appointment for you and your girlfriend. What is a CARILLON and how does it work? Many colleges use the CARILLON to announce upcoming events, to announce remembrance events, etc. The University of Florida CARILLON is able to play complex arrangements because it has dozens of bells. A CARILLON must have at least 23 bells and at UF there are hourly chimes. In the afternoon at UF there are two 15-minute mini concerts. Students belong to a 10member team who earn two college credits for being part of the Carillon Studio. One of the students said in the Miami Herald article recently: “It’s not like learning any

other instrument because you can’t take it home and practice.” Students tell me that the sounds of the bells are very calming.

My friend just had a baby and claims she didn’t know that she was pregnant. Is this possible? It is possible, but I don’t think very probable. We all have signs when we are pregnant, tender breasts, loss of period, perhaps craving foods, clothes don’t fit, etc. I saw a show on television that focuses about all of these women that have had babies and didn’t even know that they were pregnant. I personally find that hard to believe. I haven’t told my parents my SAT scores because I am utterly devastated and ashamed. My best advice would be to go to a Junior College whether it is here or elsewhere. For starters, go to Miami Dade College, which once was a junior college, and find out if you are eligible to attend school at Miami Dade. They probably will have you taking remedial courses in Math and English. You will be paying for these courses, but getting no credit. This is what is so frustrating with some of these students because they have to pay for the courses, but it is the penalty you pay for not getting a higher score. Toby Rose is president of Toby Rose’s College Prep. She is an independent college counselor, was a Dade County Outstanding Teacher and served as chairperson of the Dade County School Board Academic Advisory Committee. Rose may be contacted by calling 305-238-7737 or via the Internet at <www.tobyrose.com>.
