Dining out is big business. A 2016 Consumer Reports survey of more than 68,000 subscribers projected that Americans would spend $720 billion at restaurants in 2016 alone. That equates to nearly half of every food dollar spent in the United States.
Dining out is a great way to try new things, experience new cultures without traveling overseas and spend time with friends and family. But men and women who are dieting or trying to gain greater control over the foods they eat may be nervous about dining out. Many restaurants feature nutritious foods that won’t compromise dieters’ goals of eating healthy. Dieters concerned about veering off course when they dine out can take the following steps to stay on course.
Research menus before choosing a restaurant. Apps such as Grubhub and Seamless make it easier than ever for diners to explore menus before booking reservations. Diners can utilize such apps or their corresponding websites to peruse menus so they can rest easy knowing they will ultimately patronize restaurants that won’t compromise their commitments to eating healthy.
Order an appetizer instead of an entrée. Controlling portion sizes can help dieters lose weight and keep the weight off. But many restaurants understandably serve large portions in an effort to ensure their customers get enough to eat and don’t feel cheated when the bill is presented. Dieters worried about entrée portions and their ability to avoid the temptation to eat large portions can order exclusively from the appetizers menu. Appetizers are meant to be shared, so they should be filling when eaten by just one person. And many restaurants’ appetizers menus are just as varied as their entrée offerings.
Skip or split dessert. Few people have the time or ability to prepare restaurant-style desserts at home. That makes desserts even more special when dining out. However, dieters may want to skip dessert if the dessert offerings are limited to high-calorie, sugar-laden offerings. Dieters who simply must indulge in dessert can split desserts with fellow diners or opt for low-calorie fare such as fruit.
Dining out is incredibly popular, and dieters don’t have to avoid their favorite restaurants.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you remind your readers that Halloween can present many dangers to pets? ank you. -- Clara in Atlanta
DEAR CLARA: You’re absolutely right! While it can be lots of fun to celebrate Halloween with your pet, owners need to protect them from risks that can endanger them during the fun.
If you’re having a Halloween party, consider sending your pet to a friend or family member for the evening or give them a safe place to hang out while the guests are there -- like your bedroom or a back room. Make sure they have a comfy bed or blanket, water and toys. You can bring a pet out to meet the party guests if they are well socialized and calm in group settings. Once your dog or cat (or rabbit or bird or iguana) has said hello to everyone, take them back to their safe room.
Costumes on pets are so much fun, but be sure that the costume isn’t constrictive and that wearing it doesn’t cause them anxiety. A few minutes at a time is recommended -- enough time to get some cute photos for your Instagram.
Keep all candies, cookies and sweet treats out of reach of your pets. Chocolate is especially dangerous for dogs. Likewise, if you have party snacks out, keep them up high. Avocado, onions and grapes are also dangerous foods for dogs and cats.
If you’re trick-or-treating with your pet, keep them on a leash at all times. at includes cats! It’s dark, the streets are unfamiliar and there are lots of strange characters walking around. Your pet can get scared and run off.
With advance preparation, you can have a safe, fun and happy Halloween!

FALL LAWN CARE TIPS
Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing.

TIPS TO HELP MEN LOOK THEIR BEST: Protect your face. Skin dries with age, but men can take steps to protect their skin and keep it glowing as they grow older. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and, ideally, one that includes moisturizer as well. Exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles while increasing a man’s risk for skin cancer. Night creams that contain retinol can help smooth wrinkles and give skin a more even-toned look. Prescription night creams tend to be considerably more potent than over-the-counter alternatives.

SAFETY
IN NUMBERS:
WHY IT PAYS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS IN PAIRS
When it comes to vehicle maintenance, the rule of two has long reigned among professional automotive technicians and driving safety advocates. In accordance to this rule, drivers replacing important parts in their cars and trucks, such as tires, brakes, shocks and wiper blades, should always do so in pairs.
Replacing parts in pairs can ensure vehicles are properly balanced and functioning safely. But it’s not just tires, brakes and other big-ticket components that should be replaced in pairs. Vehicle lighting plays an integral role in keeping drivers and their passengers safe, and motorists should exercise the same caution regarding their vehicles’ headlights, taillights and turn signals that they do when maintaining the rest of their cars and trucks.

Taking Preventative Measures Against Sun Exposure Is Essential
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question about suntanning. First off, I want to say that I get yearly skin cancer checks, love the sun, and hardly ever use suntan lotion. I monitor my time outside, so as not to get a sunburn. I see warnings about certain days being high ultraviolet (UV) days. Are they talking about UVA or UVB, and which one gives you a tan? -- S.K.
ANSWER: You’re not going to like my answer, because all types of UV light exposure, whether they lead to a sunburn or suntan, cause damage to the skin and lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. A tan from sunlight leads to a small degree of protection against further UV light damage, but there is still ongoing skin damage with UV light exposure. Even people with very dark skin are susceptible to skin cancer, although their risk is a lot less than others. UVA light is more constant throughout the year and penetrates deeper into the skin. UVB light is stronger near the equator, at higher altitudes, and closer to the summer solstice. The UV index reported by the National Weather Service considers both UVA and UVB light in its calculations, as well as the time of year, altitude, and cloud cover.
Both UVA and UVB light cause the skin to tan, but tanning from UVA light alone (for example, in a tanning machine) doesn’t provide any protection from the sun. So, while I am at least glad that you aren’t exposing yourself enough to get burned, I don’t agree with being out in the sun to get tanned. I do recommend the liberal use of a sunscreen with protection against both UVA and UVB. It needs to be used in a large-enough quantity to provide protection -- approximately an ounce for an average-sized body, plus another teaspoon for the face and neck. I recommend a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or more). I buy mineral sunscreens such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for myself and my family. Finally, sunscreen needs to be reapplied regularly, especially when exercising or swimming.
Staying out of the sun, wearing sun-protective clothing, and wearing sunscreen will not only help you avoid cancer, but also help you avoid problems that I see in my older patients, who did what you did when they were young. Now they have thinned skin that bleeds easily, as well as “age spots” and other signs of skin damage from the sun, including wrinkles.

Chicken BBQ
Dog clean up
Our little hamlet is such a special place to live. Our volunteer firemen and women recently got up very early to make HUNDREDS of chicken for the annual chicken BBQ. What a wonderful meal it was and we so appreciated and enjoyed the work these people did.
Church Sale
Please, it is not that hard to pick up after your dog goes potty! So many people just leave it. Children play in parks, people walk on trails and paths and other dogs should have the right to enjoy the outdoors as well. Don’t leave your dog’s mess for someone else to clean up or for it to cause issues. Be respectful and responsible. You chose to get a dog and cleaning up after them goes right along with having them; it’s not that hard.
Inexperienced or rushed construction worker
I saw the [local church] ad in your Penny Saver and was glad they put it in there because I went to it and let me tell you, the sale was the best The ladies had everything so well organized and each item was priced and so very neat and they only had clean, workable items and clothes. And the price for the items were a steal!! I can't thank the ladies enough for the time and effort they all did to make this sale so enjoyable and just so perfect. I can't wait for next year's sale!
Saw construction ahead so took an alternative route through a nearby neighborhood to stay out of the construction workers’ way and avoid delays. Came up to a large loader which was fine because he was in his own lane, with no other cars or obstacles on that stretch of road. Stayed in my lane, even hugging the right side to give plenty of room. As we passed each other going opposite directions towards each other, a golf cart ATV behind him came whipping out in reverse, almost all the way over into my lane just to turn the thing around. I made sure to stay in my lane the whole time (about 25 mph, not 50) and we might have come within a few feet of each other as he popped out because he was whipping almost all the way over into my lane with little warning/reason though there were no cones or flagman or anything like that so he should have looked first before whipping out so fast and so far or turn tighter because those things have a tighter turning radius than that or do a 3pt turn. But he yelled at me.

1 pound turkey meat from turkey breast and/or thigh meat, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 eggs
1⁄2 cup chicken stock
1⁄4 cup Marsala
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for the pastry
1⁄2 cup celery sliced on diagonal
1⁄2 cup sliced button mushrooms
1⁄2 cup Cranberry Chutney, plus more for serving Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish
1. Following the instructions on the package, thaw the puff pastry. This will take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of pastry. You should be able to unfold it without it breaking. Set aside.
2. Pulse the turkey in a food processor until it is the consistency of ground beef. Add 2 of the eggs, the chicken stock, the Marsala, and the butter. Pulse again briefly, until just combined.
3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is a 12- or 13-inch square. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pastry on top.
4. Form the minced turkey mixture into a log and position it down the center of the prepared puff pastry. Make an indentation down the length of the turkey and place the celery, mushrooms, and cranberry chutney along the indentation. Cover the indentation with the meat, forming a log once again.
Fair Housing Statement
5. Wrap the puff pastry around the turkey, neatly folding the ends and top together, rolling or tucking the edges together, and pinching to seal any gaps. Make the pastrycovered log as round as possible, like a Yule log — try to avoid a flattened version, like a strudel.
6. Preheat the oven to 450 F.

7. Combine the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl or cup. Stir well until completely mixed. Brush the roulade with the egg wash, being careful to brush every bit of the exposed pastry.
8. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 F, then reduce the heat to 375 F. Continue to bake for 30 to 45 minutes longer, until the pastry has risen and is a toasty, golden color and the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 165 F. Generally speaking, once the pastry has cooked, the meat will be cooked, too. Remove the roulade from the oven. Transfer it to a serving platter, using the parchment paper to help you. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
9. Slice and serve, garnishing with theparsleyandservedwithabowl of extra cranberry chutney.

The ancient indigenous people of Mexico have practiced rituals celebrating the lives of past ancestors for around 3,000 years. The celebration that is now known as the Day of the Dead originally landed on the ninth month of the Aztec calendar and was observed for the entire month. In the 20th century, the month long festivities were condensed to three days called The Days of the Dead: Halloween on October 31, Day of the Innocents on November 1, and Day of the Dead on November 2.
From the UK to Webster:
Charlotte Phillips’ Journey in Dance
BY SUZIE WELLS
Charlotte Phillips’ journey from a small village in the UK to owning a thriving dance studio in Webster is as dynamic as her dance routines. Her passion for movement, shaped by early experiences in ballet and jazz, became a lifelong dedication to teaching and inspiring others.
Charlotte’s roots trace back to the village of North Duffield in York, UK. She grew up with her parents, Karen and Mel, and her younger sister, Ellie. “My parents were incredibly supportive, instilling in me values like hard work, tenacity, and loyalty,” she reflects. Dance has been a constant in her life since the age of three.
She pursued her Bachelor of Arts degree at Bird College Conservatoire of Dance and Musical eatre in London. ose six years were incredibly intense, she says, describing dancing from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., running from one studio to another, changing hairstyles between classes, “but I wouldn’t trade those years for anything.”
A er a vacation to Florida in 2014, Charlotte extended her vacation on a whim and made the bold choice to stay, moving to the US at 23 “with just a suitcase of vacation clothes.” Today, Charlotte lives in Rochester with her Scottish husband, Jaime, who is the director of the soccer club, RNYFC, and their three-year-old daughter, Isla.
Charlotte dreamed of being a ballerina, training through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and British Ballet Organization (BBO) syllabi. “To this day, I remind my teenage students to dance for that inner child, encouraging them to ‘be that sugar plum fairy’ they once imagined, even during simple exercises at the barre!”
When she realized she might not have the “required” facility to join the Royal Ballet School, Charlotte turned her attention to jazz, which opened up a new world and led her to musical theater, and she “truly found my passion. It allowed me to express myself in a way ballet didn’t, with its more dynamic and less restrictive movements.” Performing, whether through ballet or jazz, had always been her true love, but it was the freedom of jazz that sparked her creativity.
Charlotte treasures her time at Bird College, where she says, “We danced from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, constantly changing hairstyles from ballet buns to French twists in between classes,” she recalls. “It was tough, but it shaped me both professionally and personally.” ose years were some of the most challenging but rewarding of her life, and the friendships she forged during that time remain today.
Charlotte didn’t set out to become a dance teacher or studio owner. She reflects that “it’s funny how life takes you in directions you never imagined.” When she first moved to the U.S., she took a summer job at
a dance studio to save money for auditions in NYC, and she says, “I can’t pinpoint a single moment when my mindset shi ed, but I came to realize that I am my most authentic self when I’m teaching in front of a group of dance students.”
She admits she never enjoyed the auditioning “game,” and teaching offered her a way to dance every day without the “grueling rejection” of the performing industry. Over time, her desire to be on stage faded, and she found immense joy in seeing her students succeed. Watching them perform became more rewarding than performing herself, and she says, “Each time I see my students grow, gain confidence, and achieve their goals, I am reminded that my purpose lies not just in teaching dance but in inspiring and upli ing the next generation.”
Charlotte believes dance plays a crucial role in teaching discipline, patience, and perseverance – qualities she feels are increasingly rare in a world of instant gratification. “Dance teaches you to work hard over time for a long-term goal. It shapes well-rounded, hardworking individuals who know the value of dedication.”
For those aspiring to a dance career, Charlotte’s message is simple: “Be unapologetically yourself. Confidence is everything. When you believe in yourself, others will too.”
As for the future, Charlotte is focused on growth... both for herself and for Roc Dance. “I want to continue creating opportunities for my students, whether through community outreach, performances, or scholarships.” She also emphasizes the importance of balancing her passion for dance with her role as a mother. “I want my daughter to grow up knowing that no dream is too big. With hard work, she can achieve anything.”
From a young girl dreaming of being a ballerina in York to an inspiring dance educator in Rochester, Charlotte Phillips’ journey is a testament to the power of passion, hard work, and the enduring love for dance.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY
Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.
People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK
People with multiple hobbies recognize there are many great ways to spend one’s time. But even people with plenty of ways to pass their time may find themselves wasting time each day, a phenomenon that seems to be growing.
In its 2014 “Wasting Time at Work” survey, Salary.com found that 89 percent of participants acknowledged wasting time at work each day. That marked a sharp increase from a year prior, when 69 percent of workers surveyed reported wasting time at work. Thirty-one percent of workers surveyed admitted wasting roughly 30 minutes per day, while another 31 percent estimated they waste around one hour each day. Perhaps the most surprising finding from the survey was that 4 percent of participants admitted they waste four or more hours, or at least half a typically eight-hour workday, at work each day. Some people might be wasting time out of sheer boredom, but many may be able to trace all those squandered minutes and hours to inefficiency.
