The holidays are here... let the festivities (and madness) begin! By aMy daViS HERALD-CITIZEN Staff
COOKEVILLE — Every year we feel it — that “I can’t believe the holidays are already here!” feeling. And that can be a good thing —or a stressful thing — depending on what all we have planned over the next month or so. While Santa is emersed with his big list at the North Pole, the rest of us may be overwhelmed with lists of our own — starting with what ingredients we need to create our favorite Thanksgiving dishes. But the to-do list madness doesn’t stop
there. With December practically here, the Christmas noose is definitely beginning to tighten, as Ralphie pointed out so well in “A Christmas Story.” Which means we are also making lists of those we still need to shop for, possible gifts to get them, where those gifts may be purchased, how much money we plan to spend and when we can squeeze in yet another shopping trip during our lunch break or that short window of time between getting off work and getting the family gathered at home, fed and cared for. But first... Thanksgiving! That wonderful, glorious day when we seem to suffer from calorie amnesia and
give in to the desire to indulge in as much of the good stuff as we want. Moist, warm turkey and ham. Creamy mashed potatoes, seasoned green beans and buttery rolls. Yummy pecan pie and every other kind of dessert you can imagine. All of it tomorrow! So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to make a mad dash to the grocery store to gather all those last-minute ingredients you need for the big meal, whether that be a small, intimate setting at home with immediate family or a grand affair at Grandma’s where the whole lot of aunts,

Rediscovering the fun in Christmas I
’ll have to admit, as I’ve gotten older, the holidays just haven’t been as fun as they were when I was a kid. Our Christmas tree for the last six years has been of the tabletop variety (that has had to have a barrier of tin foil and sticky tape erected around it to keep the cat from pulling off every single ornament.) The rich food readily available everywhere has started adding unwanted pounds now that I’m not outside playing on my swingset like I did when I was a kid, or hiking across the TTU campus when I was in college. I can’t bear to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving has passed, and roll my eyes at the previews for cheesy holiday specials on TV. It just hasn’t been the same since I’ve been a “grown-up.” When I was a kid, I adored putting up our artificial Christmas tree (I was allergic to the real stuff). My hands would be raw from fluffing up plastic tree limbs to the perfect shape after the tree had been shoved into a box for 11 months. Half the color-
coding on the branches was gone from years of love, making us have to set out the mystery branches and try to Megan figure out Trotter where they went by their size and what row was missing a branch. I’d excitedly pull out all my ornaments, hanging favorites up front and shoving the boring ones toward the back. I’d love getting together with my extended family for a big feast — even though I usually ended up just nibbling on enough dinner to please my parents before racing to the dessert table. And oh the Christmas shows! I’d plop myself down in front of the TV and watch every one I could find. My absolute favorite was the “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” cartoon. It wasn’t really Christmas until I caught that one on TV —
sometimes three or four times throughout December. For several years now I’ve muddled through the holiday “blahs,” just trying to survive the holiday more than enjoy it. (Don’t get me started on the stresses of Christmas shopping!) But this year, things are different. This year I have a little boy who by then will be eight months old. He’s never seen a Christmas tree or ripped open wrapping paper and had more fun with the box than the toy inside. He’s never tasted a cookie or heard a Christmas song. He’s never been to a Christmas eve church service. He’s never even seen the Grinch! (Not counting his sleep-deprived mom.) I can’t wait to show him all the sights and sounds and tastes of the season. I want him to enjoy the magic of the season like I did when I was a kid — and hopefully bring a little of that sparkle back to my Christmas as well.

The cost of turkey and trimmings? Mostly unchanged By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor
Here’s another reason to be thankful this holiday season — the cost of putting Thanksgiving dinner on the table is down slightly from last year. But don’t bank on those savings for any big Black Friday
splurges. The average Turkey Day dinner will cost $49.04, or just 44 cents less this year than it did in 2012. And while every penny counts, if you need to do any traveling to belly up to the big meal, increases in airline and train tickets mean that 44 cents won’t get you very far. The good news is that after
some steep price hikes during the economic downturn about five years ago, food prices have remained mostly stable this year. It’s a welcome change from 2011, when the cost of Thanksgiving dinner jumped $5.73, up from $43.47 in 2010, according See CoSt, Page 5

HOLIDAY
Turning the Christmas tree upside down T Vaughn’s he day after Thanksgiving, you probably won’t find me putting up a festive tree and adding sparkly decorations. There is a 7-month-old crawling around my house, a 3-yearold golden retriever who has yet to outgrow the chewing “phase” and two cats who climb anything that will put them out of reach of the baby and dog. “If I were to put up a Christmas tree this year, it would be turned upside down before we got the first gift under it,” I told a friend recently. She quickly pointed out that I could, in fact, have an upside down Christmas tree. They sell them. In what looks like a weird marketing gimmick, there really are artificial Christmas trees out there that are thinner at the bottom and wide on top. You can hang your ornaments and lights on them just like any other tree, though I haven’t quite figured out where the traditional star topper fits in.
Bailey Darrow
You can also find instructions online for hanging a traditional artificial tree upside down. This involves locating studs, purchasing chains and a lot more work than I
am really up for. An upside down tree is a space saver. At least that is what the upside down Christmas tree salesmen will tell you. It also leaves more room for gifts and puts breakable ornaments out of reach of the little ones. However, it seems there is more to it than that. Some historians say that the upside down tree has roots in the Middle Ages, when Europeans commonly hung Fir trees upside down to represent the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. Hanging the tree upside down also pointed out that the tree wasn’t just everyday foliage, that it was something special. Some Christians have also argued that hanging a modern Christmas tree upside down is disrespectful, since an upright tree’s top points toward Heaven. Symbolism, space-saving and broken ornaments aside, I am sure we will have some sort of Christmas tree at our house this year. It may just be a table-top tree and it may not make its appearance until Christmas Eve eve, allowing less time for destruction. Though he won’t remember much about it, it is my son’s first Christmas, after all. Where will I hang the handprint Santa and Rudolph ornaments and finger painted snowmen without a tree? Even if it does get turned upside down.

COST: Turkey costs the same From Page 4 to the annual informal survey of consumer grocery prices performed by the American Farm Bureau Federation. The group estimates the cost by averaging non-sale food prices around the country based on feeding 10 people a meal of turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and coffee and milk. And yes, their estimates account for
the need for those all-important leftovers. The credit for this year’s slight drop in price goes to stable commodity and fuel prices, both strong drivers of the prices consumers pay at the store, says Ricky Volpe, a research economist with the USDA’s Economic Research Service. He says overall grocery prices are down about one-tenth of a percent since January. One exception — poultry. Though the Farm Bureau didn’t detect a price increase in turkey
since last year (they actually found the price for a 16-pound bird down 47 cents), Volpe says consumers shouldn’t be surprised if that component of the meal jumps as much as 5 percent over last year. Higher demand and feed prices are to blame. However, you might save a bit of cash on gas when you head to the grocer to get your turkey. At the moment, drivers are paying about 25 cents less per gallon than they were a year ago, with a national average of $3.19, according to travel tracker AAA.

hat are your favorite recollections of Christmas? Do you remember wearing your grandmother’s apron while helping her make holiday treats?

This undated photo provided courtesy Samantha Yanks shows Yanks, editor-in-chief of “Hamptons” magazine, at home in Bridgehampton, New York. The very social Yanks, an avid Tweeter, Facebooker and Instagrammer, says she uses them all as a tool to keep up to date with people she likes and admires, and to keep them posted on what she’s doing. Yanks is conscious of asking permission to post updates and especially photos if they involve anyone else.
Click to celebrate, but consider doing it on delay By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s so easy to share all that holiday fun in an instant: One click and you can cover Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all your other social media accounts. Two seconds later, everyone who wasn’t included will know about it, too. Or someone might notice that you’ve checked in at a store that holds the item at the top of their gift list. There goes that surprise. Surely no one wants to make hurt feelings or spilled secrets part of the holiday tradition, yet it can be as tempting to post pictures as it is to grab an extra helping of pecan pie. To avoid uncomfortable situations, take a breath, experts say, and think about how your status update will be received. What will it say about you beyond your enjoyment of some seasonal cheer? Social media will be part of the holidays this year — parties, gifts, photos, shopping — in a way it was not five years ago, notes Anthony Rotolo, who teaches social media strategy at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies. He thinks that’s mostly a good thing, since your followers or friends are there because they want to be. Be mindful of others’ feelings,
however, and try to grow a tougher skin yourself, he says. Guest lists can be particularly sensitive. The very social Samantha Yanks, an avid Tweeter, Facebooker and Instagrammer and editor-in-chief of Hamptons magazine, says she uses them all to keep up to date with people she likes and admires. She reminds herself that social media is not an accurate popularity barometer. If others are out having a good time, she tries to celebrate it. And she’ll do the same. “I don’t want to feel guilty for being there,” Yanks says. Someone might very well know they’ve been left out, says party planner Kia Martinson of Storrs, Conn., so she encourages her clients to deal with it up front. Some people spell out on the invitations whether they want social media use at the event or not, she says. Most of her hosts fall into two categories: those who embrace a public-facing party, dreaming up their own hashtags and arranging shared photo sites, and those who want to do it on the downlow and don’t want any social media “coverage” at all. If someone calls you out for leaving them off the guest list, Martinson says it’s best not to dance around it. “If someone says, ‘Looks like
you had a great party,’ just say yes, you did, thanks.” If you’re feeling left out, remember that what people post is a selected window into their lives, not a panoramic view, says digital strategist Tamar Weinberg, author of “The New Community Rules: Marketing on the Social Web” (O’Reilly, 2009). “While social media is a great thing, and I love to see all the kids growing up, and the engagements and marriages, but yes, sooner or later your feelings will be hurt too,” she says. Yanks asks permission to post updates and especially photos if they involve anyone else. She doesn’t want to jeopardize someone else’s job or relationships. And, she notes, parents are sensitive about having images of their kids posted. She had an early conversation with her sister-in-law, and now there’s a blanket deal that photos of her niece and nephew are OK. Besides hurt feelings, Rotolo is concerned about the botched surprises that can come when people check in at an airport (or even an airport coffee shop), or if they claim an online shopping deal that’s visible to their network. “At this point in time, there’s not much surprise left. You have to go off the grid to keep a secret. ... If you want a holiday surprise, you need to plan a connection-less strategy.”

cocoa, milk and egg yolks; mix well. Set burner temperature to medium and with a whisk, to prevent clumping, continuously stir until filling thickens. This may take a while, so be patient. Take off burner and add in your cold butter and vanilla extract. Pour into cooked pie shells. Let cool and enjoy! Meringue: The trick to a good meringue is to have the whites at room temperature and to make sure not to get any yolk in the egg whites. For one pie, beat three egg whites, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp. of cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in 1/4 cup of sugar, one Tbsp. at a time, until stiff peaks form. Add more sugar if needed. Kayla M. Tinch

Save time and oven space by grilling your turkey By ELIZABETH KARMEL
in the cool brine. If necessary, add more water to cover turkey and top with a weight to make sure it is completely covered with the liquid. Refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
Associated Press
It all started with the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line! My love of grilled turkey, that is! Early in my career, I managed and promoted the annual Thanksgiving help line. And every fall, all of the operators would gather together for a training session that would prepare these “cooking counselors” for the nation’s upcoming turkey trauma. Everyone was assigned a different turkey cooking method and brand of turkey so we could all be familiar with the different scenarios home cooks might face. As I watched all the veteran operators lobby to get the grilled and smoked turkey assignments, I wondered why. But after my first session, I knew! The flavor, texture and aroma of the grilled and smoked turkeys were far and away tastier than any other method, even the classic open-pan roasting method. The natural convection-style heat of the outdoor grill is perfect for cooking a Thanksgiving turkey. But you must use a grill that has a lid and is configured for indirect heat. This is not a job for an open braiser! The lid down/indirect heatmethod ensures that the skin is golden brown and crisp at the same time that the bird is done. And there’s another benefit, too. All that hot air rotating around the big bird means the outdoor grill method takes less time than traditional oven roasting. Plus, moving the turkey onto the grill frees up oven space for all those wonderful sides you’re craving. In recent years, I’ve upped my game by adding a brine to the recipe to produce the juiciest, tastiest, most golden brown and picture-perfect turkey you can image. The brine seasons the turkey to the bone and ensures it will be juicy. If you are brining the bird, it is important to buy a natural turkey that has not been pre-basted (pumped full of salt water). It’s been many years since my Butterball days, yet every Thanksgiving, I am still “on call” for a select few. While I am cooking my own meal or getting

ready to enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor, I am on speed dial wherever I am. And answering their calls — having a turkey trauma moment, a laugh and ultimately assuring them that the turkey is going to be great (always grilled!) — has become as much a part of my Thanksgiving tradition as the turkey itself. Orange Turkey Brine Brining helps ensure that the turkey stays juicy while roasting. This orange brine complements the maple-Southern Comfort glaze and scents the turkey
with Thanksgiving’s favorite seasonings. Though some people use coolers or buckets to brine their turkeys, the easiest way is with a large brining or zip-close plastic bag. Most grocers sell them this time of year. Start to finish: 1 hour, plus brining time Makes enough for a 12- to 14-pound turkey 6 cups water 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 cups Kosher salt 3 cups ice 2 large navel oranges, quartered 3 tablespoons whole cloves
3 bay leaves 2 teaspoons black peppercorns In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the water, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and add the ice. Stir until melted. In a turkey brining bag or other foodsafe container large enough to hold the turkey and liquid, combine an additional 2 quarts of cool water, the oranges, cloves, bay leaves and peppercorns. Add the warm sugar-salt solution and stir. Let come to room temperature before using. To use the brine, submerge the turkey
Grilled Turkey With Maple-Southern Comfort Glaze The sweet maple syrup, sharply sweet notes of orange — and of course the Southern Comfort — combine not only to create a luscious glaze for the turkey, but also lend an amazing flavor to the pan juices, which make a wonderful gravy. Just remember to glaze only during the final 30 minutes of cooking to prevent burning. Start to finish: 2 to 3 hours (mostly inactive), depending on size of the turkey Servings: 14 1/2 cup maple syrup Juice of 1 small orange 2 tablespoons Southern Comfort 12- to 14-pound turkey, thawed and brined (neck and giblets removed) 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil Ground black pepper Prepare your grill for indirect, medium heat cooking. On a charcoal grill, this entails banking the coals to one side. On a gas grill, it means turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side. In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, orange juice and Southern Comfort. Set aside. To prepare the turkey for grilling, remove it from the brine. Set it on a large cutting board. Use kitchen twine to tie together the ends of the legs, then tuck the tips of the wings under them. Brush the olive oil over the entire turkey, then season it with black pepper. Place the turkey on a disposable foil pan before setting on the grill grates. Cover the grill and cook for 11 to 13 minutes per pound, or until an instantread thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the thigh (not touching the bone) registers 175 F and the juices run clear. Brush glaze on the turkey during the final 30 minutes of the cooking time. Transfer turkey to a platter and let stand for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Sweet and wild — stuffing that goes with the grain By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press
Stop fussing over whether to prepare your Thanksgiving stuffing inside or alongside the turkey. Your life will be so much easier if you just embrace the wonder that is casserole dish stuffing. And to help get you over that hump, we created a stuffing with big, bold flavors and plenty of texture. We kept the classic add-ins like celery, onions, thyme and sage, but sweetened them up with diced apples and golden raisins. Add a generous stick of butter and hearty wild rice, and you have a stuffing that will leave you delightfully stuffed. By the way, the easiest way to cook wild rice is to treat it like pasta. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, add about 1/3 cup of uncooked wild rice and cook for 45 to 55 minutes, then drain.

Sweet potatoes go savory with Parmesan cauliflower By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press
Sweet potatoes generally get one of three treatments at the Thanksgiving table. They are mashed like regular potatoes; they are roasted like squash, or they are saturated with sugar until they no longer resemble a vegetable. We decided there had to be an alternative. We still mashed them, but we also doctored them up with a second mash — a puree of cauliflower and Parmesan cheese. The sweet and savory of those ingredients play so wonderfully together, you’ll never go back to the three usual suspects. Matthew Mead | AP

A guide to take the pain out of Thanksgiving math By J.M. HIRSCH
the meat. Do it every 30 minutes, but no more. Opening the oven door too frequently lets heat escape and can significantly slow the cooking.
AP Food Editor
Thanksgiving is coming and you need to just relax and embrace the horror. Accept the fact that you’ll get at least something wrong. The turkey will be too big. Or too small. Or too frozen. There won’t be enough mashed potatoes, or maybe you’ll forget to salt them. Maybe you’ll have rivers of gravy, but only enough stuffing for two people. Which is just as well, because you probably won’t remember what temperature the stuffing is supposed to be cooked to anyway. We can’t solve all of those problems for you, but we can give you a cheat sheet to help you avoid at least a few blunders. We’ve done some of the most common Thanksgiving math for you. Now you can focus on more important things, such as who will sit next to your obnoxious uncle or how to deflect your mother-in-law’s unwanted housekeeping advice. Because this is Thanksgiving, all serving estimates are generous to allow for plenty of seconds and leftovers. How Big? For turkeys less than 16 pounds, estimate 1 pound per serving (this accounts for bone weight). For larger birds, a bit less is fine; they have a higher meat-to-bone ratio. But if your goal is to have very ample leftovers, aim for 1 1/2 pounds per person no matter how big the turkey is. • For 8 people, buy a 12-pound turkey • For 10 people, buy a 15pound turkey • For 12 people, buy an 18pound turkey • For 14 people, buy a 20pound turkey The Big Thaw The safest way to thaw a frozen turkey is in the refrigerator. You’ll need about 24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds of turkey. For speedier thawing, put the turkey in a sink of cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes, and plan for about 30 minutes per pound. The Brine A good brine uses kosher salt and sugar in a 1-to-1 ratio, and usually no more than 1 cup of each. Feel free to add any other seasonings. Brines typically are made by heating the salt, sugar and seasonings with a bit of water until dissolved. This mixture then is diluted with additional cold water (volume will vary depending on the size of your bird) and ice. Be certain the brine is completely cooled before adding the turkey. Turkeys should be brined for at least 8 to 10 hours, but can go as long as 72 hours. A good rule of thumb is, the longer the brine, the weaker the brine. So for a 10hour soak, use 1 cup each of salt and sugar. For a longer one, consider backing down to 3/4 cup each. Always keep the bird refrigerated during brining. If the turkey is too big, an ice-filled cooler stored outside works, too.
The Rest The turkey never should go directly from the oven to the table. Like most meat, it needs to rest before serving for the juices to redistribute. Cover the turkey with foil and a few bath towels layered over that (to keep it warm), then let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Cranberry sauce: a 12-ounce package of fresh cranberries makes about 2 1/4 cups of sauce; a 16-ounce can has 6 servings • Gravy: plan for 1/3 cup of gravy per person • Green beans: 1 1/2 pounds of beans makes 6 to 8 servings • Mashed potatoes: a 5-pound bag of potatoes makes 10 to 12 servings • Stuffing: a 14-ounce bag of stuffing makes about 11 servings
est slices will require 1 cup of heavy cream beaten with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (a splash of vanilla extract is nice, too) • Ice cream: a la mode doesn’t require much • 1 pint per pie should suffice

Others crank the heat to 400 F or 425 F Basting the bird with its juices for the first hour, then drop it helps crisp the skin and flavor down for the rest of the time. However you roast, use an instant thermometer inserted at the innermost part of the thigh (without touching bone) to determine when your turkey is done. The meat needs to hit 165 F for safe eating, though some people say thigh meat tastes better at 170 F. If the outside of the bird gets too dark before the center reaches the proper temperature, cover it with foil. The following roasting time estimates are based on a stuffed turkey cooked at 325 F. Reduce cooking time by 20 to 40 minutes for turkeys that are not stuffed (estimate total roasting times at 15 minutes per pound for unstuffed birds). And remember, a crowded oven cooks more slowly, so plan ahead if your bird needs to share the space. Using a convection oven? They are great at browning, but require heating or timing adjustments. Either cut the temperature by about 25 F from what is called for by the recipe and cook for the time directed, or roast at the suggested temperature, but reduce the cooking time by about 25 percent. The following times are for a standard oven: • 12-pound turkey: 3 to 4 hours at 325 F • 15-pound turkey: 4 to 4 1/2 hours at 325 F • 18-pound turkey: 4 1/2 to 5

Mexican Coke in U.S. will still use cane sugar By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Fans of “Mexican Coke” in the U.S. need not worry about losing the cane sugar that sweetens their favorite drink. Americans who buy the glass bottles of Coke exported from Mexico may have been dismayed by recent online reports that an independent bottler that supplies the drinks planned to switch from sugar to fructose to cut costs. In the U.S., Coke is sweetened with high-fructose syrup, which has made bottles of “Mexicoke” a sought-after beverage in some circles. Arca Continental, the Mexican bottler in question, stressed in a statement that it has no plans to
change the sweetener for the “Coca-Cola Nostalgia” bottles it exports to the U.S. Those will continue to use 100 percent cane sugar, it said. The company’s CEO said last week that the bottler could consider using more fructose, but that was only for drinks distributed in Mexico. Notably, Arca already uses both sugar and high-fructose corn syrup to sweeten its drinks in Mexico. The ratio varies depending on the commodity prices, the company said in an email. Arca isn’t the only Coke bottler in Mexico. But a representative for Coca-Cola in Atlanta said the U.S. business imports only CocaCola sweetened with cane sugar from Mexico.

When people ask me where I am from, I don’t have a good answer. I grew up in the farmlands of Western New York, but my family moved to Sparta, TN when I was 17, and my parents still reside in that community. I attended Carson Newman College then married my husband, David, a few weeks after graduation. The next four years were spent at the University of Tennessee School of Medicine, then I completed my Family Medicine residency at the University of Cincinnati. For the last eight years, I have been practicing a broad scope of family medicine in East Tennessee. I recently moved to Cookeville and joined Dr. Chet Gentry at Innovative Family Care. I initially chose Family Medicine because I enjoyed the variety and challenges that primary care offers. With experience, however, I have found that I value the relationships that family medicine fosters even more. I like caring for the entire family, from newborns to great-grandparents. My own family is important to me as well, and my experience as a mother to our four children has helped me immensely to understand and care for patients. My husband (primarily) and I homeschool our three older children, and we were very excited to finalize the adoption of our little one last month. I joined Innovative Family Care because although it is a fledgling practice, I see the potential there to be able to practice the kind of medicine I am passionate about: high quality health care with the patient at the center of all we do. Although more specialized care is sometimes necessary, most chronic conditions, urgent needs and prevention can be best managed by your family physician, in one place. Even when referral to a specialist is necessary, as your family physician, I can help coordinate the care and keep the whole person in mind when making recommendations. In order to keep moving towards better health, there needs to be a partnership between the doctor, the patient and the rest of the health care team. Occasionally this means not giving the patient what they are requesting, but working with them to find a healthier option. I am excited to be living and working in this community and I look forward to putting down some roots here. I am accepting new patients and our office accepts all insurances including Medicare. Hope to see you soon!

Classic and modern takes: Thanksgiving green beans By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press
Can we all just agree that by 2013 we should be able to do better by green beans than dumping canned soup and fried onions all over them? Surely, there is a better way. Actually, there are lots of better ways. Even if all you do is crisp some chopped bacon in a skillet, then pop fresh green beans in for a few minutes of stir-frying, the end result will still be better (and probably more welcome at the table). But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the start. To help you get your green bean creativity flowing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given you a basic recipe for cooking them, plus two ways of finishing them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one with bacon and blue cheese, the other with honeysweetened spicy coconut. But if neither of those do it for you, use
