Book Review by Mickey Hunacek

Living the Good Long Life

By Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart puts into practice all the things she has talked about over the years…diet, exercise, relationships, attitudes.

Following her own advice has given her just that…a good long life. She is only 71—only 71, but she looks and acts younger.

Here are her “Ten Golden Rules for Aging.”

1 2 3 4 5 6

Eat well Maintain a healthy weight Stay physically active Get quality sleep Wear sunscreen Collaborate with a good primary care doctor regularly

7 Find your passion 8 Connect with others 9 Stop complaining — change what you can, and accept what you cannot 10 Stay curious

We’ve all heard this advice before. That’s what it is—advice.

How we live our lives is our choice with our own rules. Do life your own way—but in moderation. There is still time this summer to plant a few greens in your garden, or in a flower pot by your door.

Then eat or drink those fresh vegetables.

You can still have your cake, cookie or donut…just in moderation and walk to the bookstore or library to check out Martha’s advice in her book Living the Good Long Life.

Buddy Valastro

Family Features

Y

ou might have a favorite cookie or brownie recipe — but did you know you could make it even better by adding a simple, familiar ingredient? With a few expert tips from Buddy Valastro, author and star of TLC’s “Cake Boss,” you can take your sweet treats from good to great in no time. n Start

with Quality Ingredients — When you start with better ingre­dients, you end up with a better cookie or brownie. Use real butter, high-quality vanilla and great tasting chocolate.

Here, Buddy shares some of his favorite recipes that use M&M’S candies to add an extra special touch to family favorites — making them even better. n Chill the Dough — Leaving cookie dough in the refrigerator gives it more body and results in a fuller and better tasting cookie. Plan ahead so you can refrigerate your dough at least one hour — or, even better, overnight. n Keep It Uniform — Use a small ice cream scoop to keep your cookies the same size. This not only helps them look professional, but bake up evenly and consistently. n Pans Matter — Bake cookies on lightcolored, non-insulated cookie sheets without sides. Metal pans will cook brownies faster than glass pans, which means cooking times will vary. Start checking your brownies early to test if they’re ready and prevent over baking.
