Gifts for your holiday host or hostess E
ntertaining is part of the holiday season when hosts and hostesses open their homes to many friends and family to celebrate a time of giving and togetherness. Gifts for the host and/or hostess can show appreciation to the men and women who go above and beyond. A hostess gift can be as simple or as extravagant as your budget allows. Many people tend to gravitate toward food-related gifts because of their simplicity and the idea that they can be served at the gathering of friends and family. But conventional etiquette suggests that hosts and hostesses are not obligated to serve the beverages or foods guests bring and should not feel ashamed to reserve them for their own private use. So guests may want to think outside the box when gifting holiday hosts this season. Here are some ideas to consider. • Flavored dipping oils: Herb-infused oils lend a different taste to prepared foods and also can be used as a bread garnish in lieu of butter. Pair a flavored oil with a loaf of gourmet bread and include a decorative, shallow bowl that can be used for the oil. • Wine caddy: The number of restaurants that enable you to bring your own beverages has multiplied. This means that diners can benefit from practical ways to transport their favorite vintage from home to the table. Wine caddies and holders come in many different designs, from some that resemble a woman's clutch to suitcase-inspired designs. • After-dinner treat: Put together a basket of foods that can be served after dinner. A citrusy palate cleanser, like lemon-infused butter cookies, fresh fruit and a sparkling beverage may fit the bill perfectly. Specialty stores often sell gift "towers" this time of year that package together delicious treats.
• Scented sugars: Oil isn't the only condiment that can be infused with aroma and additional flavor. Purchase canning jars and fill them with your favorite brand of granulated sugar. Add flavorings, such as cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, mint leaves, or hazelnuts, to give foods a subtle essence of flavor. Tie a bow around the jar and present it as a thoughtful gift. • Garden gift basket: Although the cold weather is here, a garden gift basket can still make a welcome gift. Include flower seeds, fertilizer sticks, a garden trowel, a pair of gardening gloves and any other essentials you can think of. • Spa gift certificate: Entertaining is hard work and a hostess may enjoy some time to recuperate once the holidays have come and gone. A gift certificate for a facial or massage will provide at least an hour of pampering. • Homemade treats: Much in the way a hand-written thankyou note can convey how much you appreciate a gift, a handmade gift can tell a host that you were thankful to be invited to an event. If you prepare a signature dish, whip it up and bring it along. It's also easy to create some simple garnishes and package them in a decorative tin or jar. Think homemade salsa or a homemade chocolate ganache sauce. • Breakfast in bed: Enable the host and hostess to sleep in the next day by having breakfast all ready to go. Put together a basket or tray with individual bottles of juice, packets of tea or instant coffee and some gourmet muffins or scones. Add a jar of jam and some small spreading knives so breakfast can be served with minimal hassle. There are many gifts that can treat a host or hostess to something special as a token of appreciation for opening up his or her home during the holiday season.

Cook ahead of the holidays to save time • Defrost foods in the refrigerator the night before the holiday meal will be served. Heating foods that aren't still frozen considerably cuts down on cook times.
H
oliday hosts and hostesses may want to put a storage freezer on their wish list this year. Having the ability to prepare meals in advance and store them easily for later use could prove invaluable -- especially for those who are opening their homes for the holidays. Food and celebrations are unequivocally intertwined. While presents and decorations may be important parts of holiday festivities, food is just as important for hosts who want to throw a successful holiday party. Those who are welcoming guests to their homes for the holidays may fret over what to serve and how long preparation will take, especially when they're busy with other tasks. However, stretching out food shopping, preparation and cooking over a few weeks can make the process much more manageable. A freezer can be a party host's best friend come the holiday season. Many foods can be prepared in advance and then frozen until the celebration. Also, having small portions of pre-made foods can be helpful when visitors pop in unexpectedly and may be hungry for a meal. Just take something out of the freezer and heat it.
• If food cannot be defrosted before cooking, keep in mind that you may have to cook foods longer than normal.
Certain tips can ensure foods made in advance are stored properly and heat up quickly. • Casseroles, baked pasta dishes and vegetables can be prepared in advance and frozen. Be sure to consult with any recipes to see if items can indeed be frozen if you are unsure how they will fare in the freezer. • Instead of preparing food and storing it in one large container, separate it into two smaller containers so dishes defrost quickly and dinner time isn't delayed. • Use packaging specifically designed for use in the freezer. These products will offer extra insulation against freezer burn, which dehydrates food. Keeping air out of the packaging will help to alleviate cases of freezer burn and potential waste of good food. • Mark packages with the date the foods were packaged as well as what is inside. This makes it easy to keep inventory of what is in the freezer.
• Many desserts also can be frozen. Freeze pies before they are cooked. Cakes can be frozen if you freeze the layers separately. Then assemble and frost the cakes before serving. Cream pies cannot be frozen, but you can use pudding in place of cream in many recipes and be able to freeze them. Brownies and other "bar" recipes will freeze and carry well. • If you don't want to have everything prepped in advance and enjoy the taste of a freshly cooked meal, consider preparing side dishes in advance and then leave the roast or turkey to cook. Any steps you can take ahead of time will dramatically cut out the time you have to spend in the kitchen while guests are around. • Don't feel shy about cutting corners when possible. If you're cooking the entire meal, invest in pre-made frozen appetizers to save time.

Judges know what makes a great meal BY ANGELA HOLCOMB The Hutchinson News aholcomb@hutchnews.com
T
his year's holiday magazine is filled with unique recipes from all over the state. From appetizers, breads, entrees to desert, all of the recipes are winners and irresistible. But only one recipe from each category was chosen as the best. The judges that make these decisions are ones that have expertise in food and have an eye for what makes a great meal.
The appetizer judge was Chef Jerry Taylor. A Hutchinson resident, Taylor has worked in the food industry for 35 years, working at such places as the Tiffany House and running his own catering business. Taylor previously worked as a cook for Warner Brothers and on the road with many music performers like Reba McIntire, Garth Brooks, Cher and many more. With the food service industry always being a priority of Taylor's this is his second year as a judge and he chooses his winners carefully. This year he chose the Apple and Brie Quesadillas by Janie Colle. The first thing Taylor looked for in choosing this winner was how accessible the ingredients were. "A good recipe will have ingredients that are easy to acquire. I ask myself the question, "Can a common person using a common kitchen put this dish together?" Taylor said. "I also look for a recipe that has good food service standards and once the ingredients are all put together, does it taste good?" Taylor offers many tips of expert cooking. The main tip he insists on is: "Before you start cooking any dish you should have all the needed ingredients out for so you can see them all," Taylor said. "There is nothing more frustrating than starting to cook something and then discover that you are missing one or two items." Taylor says he loves sharing his knowledge of cooking and believes that recipes should be shared and not a secret.
The healthy eats judge was Kristen Roderick. Roderick has worked at the Hutchinson News for five years and this is her first year as a Holiday Magazine Recipe judge. About two years ago she started conducting the Kristen in the Kitchen series and that is one of the reasons why she was asked to participate in this year's judging. Roderick's chose was the Honey Sunflower Seed Wheat Bread by Janie Cole. "I picked a few recipes and prepared them. My parents and I tried a few things out and my dad fell in love with the Honey Sunflower Bread," Roderick. "I also made my chose by using personal preference. I think people are trying to eat healthier now days and that is something that I am into as well." You can watch Kristen in the Kitchen online at Hutchnews.com/Kristen. A new segment is available on the last Wednesday of every month.
The Breads judge was Patsy Terrell. Terrell has been a judge for the Holiday Magazine on and off for the last 12 years and says she is always delighted to be part of the process. Terrell has been a cook her whole life and used to write a food column for the Hutchinson News and currently writes columns for the Kansas Country Living magazine. Terrell also has a website for her Kansas Country Living columns at http://www.cookslibrarywithpatsy.com, writes daily personal blogs at http://www.patsyterrell.com and can be found on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/patsy. "I started cooking when I was a little girl. While the men worked on the farm I was busy preparing dinner and would always have a full meal prepared by dinner time," Terrell said. "I'm
always encouraged when I see that people are still cooking and sharing recipes." Terrell chose the Orange Scones by Jaine Cole as the bread winner and said the reason for her chose was because for something that seems like it would be difficult to prepare it was easy and had a tasty outcome. "I looked for unique recipes and considered whether or not the ingredients were workable for the average person," Terrell said. "Personal preference was also a factor."
The Entrees and Desserts judge was Kerri Brewer. Brewer has over 20 years of food industry experience working as a waitress, bartender, cook and manager. At the age of 22 she opened her first restaurant in Pretty Prairie, was the former owner of Marcella's in Hutchinson and since the middle of May of 2012 she has been the General Manager at the Hutchinson Town Club. Brewer's choice of winner for desserts was the Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Bundt Cake by Laurie White and for Entrees the Sweet Autumn Pork Chops by Pat Habiger. "When making my decision I looked for a few things. Eye appeal, how does the dish look when completed, uniqueness not the same old pot roast, and how well the ingredients tasted once they were all put together," Brewer said. "I prepared the recipes at work and had my kitchen workers, Jorge and Matt help me taste test. We also had a few of the card ladies, members at the club, who were more than happy to try some food and give their opinions as well. But when it came down to it Rhonda, an employee, and I were the official tasters." This is Brewer's third year as a judge and she says she really enjoys participating in the judging and is glad to see the Hutchinson Town Club become involved in the community.

F
or Hutchinson High School student, Toni Smith (15), daughter of Will and Kelli Smith, Christmas means more than just receiving presents. Smith says she has always associated Christmas with the birth of the baby Jesus, but since she has gotten older the holiday has taken on more meanings. "I always look forward to seeing family that we usually don't see all year," Smith said. "I also like driving around with my parents and looking at all the Christmas lights on the houses. When we lived in Wichita that was something we always did." Although Smith knows that it is better to give than to receive, she was grateful for the Wii system she received in 2009.

"The best present I've ever gotten was my Wii," Smith said. "I mean what kid wouldn't want at Wii." Smith's mother got into the holiday spirit this year and has already put up the Christmas tree, of course with the help of Toni . Harley Martin (13), eighth grader at Prairie Hills Middle School, says being around family and friends and not having to attend school are her two favorite things about Christmas. "When I was younger my favorite part of the holidays was opening gifts and meeting Santa," Harley said. “That is still what I
enjoy. When I was 11-years-old I got a cell phone and it was the best gift I had ever gotten! This year I am hoping to get an I P o d Touch." Although Harley hopes for extravagant gifts it is usually the little things that are the most t o u c h i n g . Sporting a pair of beautiful aqua earrings that her mother, Heidi, bought her last year for Christmas, Harley states that her favorite color is aqua and most everything in her room is aqua based. Her brother Braedon Martin (10), student at Prosperity Grade School, says Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and spending time with his family and friends. Braedon also expresses his love for one of the best gifts he has ever received.
Toni Smith, 15, knows that it’s a better to give than to receive and enjoys spending time with family during the holidays.
"Jackson Pixie Dust is a little elf that just showed up one day above the front door. He came to me when I was eight years old and ever since then he just shows up usually right after Thanksgiving and then Santa comes to pick him up on Christmas Eve," Braedon said. "Jackson is about a foot tall and he's made of fabric. I also have a book that tells all about him." Braedon also shows off his other two favorite Christmas presents that he received when he was three years old from his Aunt Bonnie.

"I really like my Tigger blanket and my stuffed dog, Gypsy," Braedon said. "This year I am hoping to get a Nexus Seven Google or a Telescope." Heidi and Doug Martin also have another child, Breckyn (7), who is also looking forward to a fun and exciting Christmas.
Harley and Bradeon Martin enjoy the holidays with their mom and dad, Heidi and Doug and little sister, Breckyn.

Even the youngest of children can appreciate the joys of the holidays. For Libby Lee Kitch (2), daughter of Hutchinson residents, Nikki Megyeri and Ross Kitch, she will celebrate her third Christmas this year and it is all about presents and Santa. "Na Na and Mama go with me to see Santa," Libby said. "I want a Clifford dog for Christmas." When asked if she thought a Clifford dog would fit in the house she just shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the toy car that she received on her second Christmas. "I got this from Papa," Libby said. "Keep candy in the back." As cute as any two-year-old can be, Libby drives her car around the living room with a smile on her face and pure joy in her heart. Seeing a child enjoy her presents this much can bring the spirit of the holidays to anyone. Even though Christmas is still about a month and a half away, some kids get a little preview of what is to come. Logan Nash (6) and Ameira Lynn (5) Ahrens, son and daughter of Turon residents Summer and John Ahrens, spend some time at Wal-Mart in the toy section picking out gifts that they would love for their mother to buy for them. As Logan looks at the Hulk Mask he states, "I already have the Hulk mask but I don't have the Hulk hands yet. Mommy that is what I want for Christmas, Hulk Hands!!" Ameira was a little quiet at first but after about 15 minutes in the toy section she opened right up. Pointing to the pretty pink bicycles, she yells out "Mommy what about that cool bike?!" "That's what I want." It's not so easy to get the kids out of the toy section once you get them there and to ease their minds, Logan and Ameria Ahrens give their mom, Summer some ideas for Christmas gifts in the toy aisle at Walmart.

Libby Lee Kitch loves her toy car that she received last year for Christmas.
Summer bought them each a toy for today. While Logan states that Christmas is Jesus's birthday, Ameira talks about her opinion of what she thinks. "I like Santa, but he's not real." When asked why she doesn't believe in Santa, she only stated that, "I was told he wasn't real."

Tips for getting greeting cards out on time
M
illions of greeting cards are sent out each holiday season. Estimates suggest that 85 percent of the United States population, or roughly 250 million people, mails out greeting cards. That adds up to billions of cards going through the postal system -and all in a relatively short period of time. Men and women who hope to send holiday greeting cards must purchase, prepare and mail the cards early enough so they are received prior to the holiday. It is never too early to begin greeting card preparation and assembly. The majority of cards are bought in boxed packages or groupings of photo cards. Gone are the days of hand-picking individual greeting cards for every recipient. This trend toward general-theme cards has streamlined the process and can help senders start their tasks earlier than ever before. Some people like to take advantage of post-holiday sales to stock
up on greeting cards for the following year at a deep discount. This means they can write the cards out at their leisure and then simply toss them into the mailbox at the appropriate time. Much in the way people begin their holiday shopping or decorating right after the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers have been stored away, a good majority of people also begin their greeting card writing after Thanksgiving as well. Those who want their cards to arrive first will mail them within a few days of Thanksgiving. When sent domestically, it is safe to assume that cards mailed out up to 2 weeks before Christmas will arrive on time. After that point, you may be risking lateness, particularly for rural delivery addresses unless cards are sent priority. For those who need to mail cards internationally, sticking close to the end of November will ensure they arrive in a timely manner.
People who want to make a statement and not have their greeting cards get lost in the crowd may intentionally mail them late and lean toward wishing health and prosperity for the new year, rather than sending a card tied to a specific holiday. This gives extra time for mailing and will set cards apart from the many others. Photo cards have grown in popularity, and people interested in having a professional photographer shoot their holiday card photos would be wise to make an appointment as early as possible. Popular photographers often start holiday photo shoots in October. Keep in mind that the photographs can take a while to be processed and arrive. For those who are on borrowed time, taking a photo with a personal camera and having prints made up at a pharmacy or retail store can save time. It is unlikely that professional photos taken in December can be printed and mailed and still arrive on time. Also, be sure to heed copyright laws concerning photographs. It may be illegal to scan an image from a photographer or photo studio and have prints made without written permission. Postage is another thing that will have to be considered when mailing out cards. While many cards fall under the weight and size limits of a regular first class postage stamp, unusually shaped envelopes or heavy greeting cards may cost more. Rather than have them returned, it is a good idea to have at least one card weighed at the post office to ensure the right amount of postage is affixed. Some cards will be packaged with envelopes that state "Additional postage may be required" right on the box. Greeting cards are an important component of the holiday season. Ensuring they arrive on time requires planning and sending them out with ample time to spare.

Tips when buying a natural Christmas Tree
M
any people harbor strong opinions with regard to which type of Christmas tree they want to purchase. Some cannot live without a natural, freshly-cut Christmas tree, while others prefer the convenience of artificial trees. Those who insist on a natural tree might want to consider the following tips when buying what's likely their biggest decorative item of the holiday season. • Ask when the tree was cut down. Precut trees may be cut down weeks before they're sold. So if you're buying a precut tree, chances are the tree was cut down much earlier than you think. This doesn't mean the tree won't make it through the holiday season, but a tree that was cut several weeks ago should have some of its bottom trunk removed before it's placed in the stand. This will make it easier for the tree to consume water. This step likely isn't necessary if the tree was cut down the same day you bring it home. • Have the tree shaken before taking it home. A tree should be shaken in a shaker before you put it in your car and bring it home. A shaker removes any debris or dead needles from the tree, which can save you the trouble of cleaning up all of those dead needles from your living room floor later on. • Have the tree wrapped before taking it home. A tree should also be wrapped in twine before taking it home. The twine should be tight enough to keep the tree's branches from blowing in the wind when you attach the tree to the top of your vehicle. If possible, keep the tree wrapped in twine as you place it in the stand. This makes the tree easier to control. • Choose the right location. When looking for the right place to set up your natural tree, it's best to choose a spot Continued on page 43

Tips when buying a natural Christmas Tree Continued from page41 that's cool and free of drafts. The tree should not be placed near heat sources, including appliances, fireplaces or vents, because such heat sources create a safety hazard and can make it difficult for the tree to retain moisture. There should also be ample space between the top of the tree and the ceiling. • Place some covering on the ground beneath the tree. Even a freshly cut natural tree will shed needles over the course of the holiday season. Before placing the stand in the location you've chosen, put some type of covering, such as a tree bag, beneath the stand so it's easier to gather all those needles once the holiday season has ended.
• Remember that natural trees are thirsty. Men and women who have never had a natural Christmas tree in the past might be surprised at just how thirsty natural trees get. The stand's reservoir should have lots of water, which should never dip below the stump. If the water dips below the stump, you might be forced to cut a little more off the bottom of the trunk to ensure the tree will make it through the holiday season. That can be a hassle once the tree has been decorated, so be sure to check the water in the reservoir at least once per day to maintain adequate water levels.
