Ladies wanted for Hittle’s night out Come make a wish list at the downtown Troy jewelry store BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor TROY — It’s been called the social event of the season, and it happens tomorrow. Hittle’s Jewelry hosts its seventh annual Ladies Night Out Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. Glass cases line the walls in the downtown Troy jewelry shop, each one full of sparkling gemstones waiting to take up permanent display on a lucky neck, wrist or finger. Hittle’s owner Jenny Nimer invites any and every woman to come by on Ladies Night Out to start a wish list for the holidays or treat themselves to a shiny new bauble. “The ladies like to come and see old friends and new friends,” Nimer said. “And just to have a girls night of fun.” The purpose of Ladies Night Out is to give a chance for women to check out Hittle’s selection of jewelry. They can make a wish list of items they hope to open on Christmas day, or any holiday, and Nimer records all the information in a

computer file. Ring sizes and any other important details also are kept on file. This makes it a piece of cake for men to do their holiday shopping, with the added bonus of not having to worry if their significant other will like what’s beneath the wrapping. Nimer started Ladies Night Out so women could make their wish lists, and while that is still the main event, ladies also are buying items for themselves during the night, she said. Refreshments will be served during the event, and everyone who attends gets her name entered into a drawing for door prizes. Several of the prizes have been donated by other local businesses. “We give these away all night long,” Nimer said. After all the prizes
have been given away, each lady’s name is re-entered into a drawing for the grand prize — a Susan G. Komen Ladies Citizen Watch with diamonds. The winner is drawn Friday morning. Lisa Adkinson from Lisa Robin Jewelry will be at Hittle’s for Ladies Night Out. She is a designer from Dayton and she will have her complete jewelry line with her. Lisa Robin Jewelry is always available at Hittle’s and a special fall promotion will be going on soon on Facebook to win a piece of Lisa Robin Jewelry. Also during Ladies Night Out, customers can enjoy free chair massages from Glamour Nails and Hair Gallery, of Troy. Hittle’s Jewelry’s Ladies Night Out is free, and registration is not re-

Ladies Night Out is held every October. This was the first year Nimer started a similar event in the spring. The April Ladies Night Out was well received, and Nimer plans to do it again next year. “We just have a fun time,” she said. “We don’t pressure you to buy anything. That’s not what it’s for. It’s for the ladies to make a wish list.” Hittle’s, started by Ralph and Bobbi Hittle, has been in Troy for more than 60 years. “We take pride in our store and the work that we do on remounting dia-
monds or gemstones into new designs in a ring or pendant,” Nimer said. Hittle’s Jewelry carries bridal rings by designers, such as Reko, Artcarved, Gabriel of New York, D'oro and Vendetti; gemstones of all colors and shapes; Citizen and the Citizen Signature Watch collection; Waterford crystal; and of course, diamonds in all shapes and sizes. Layaway and free gift wrapping is always available, as well as free inspection and cleaning for any piece of jewelry a customer owns. Call Hittle’s Jewelry at (937) 339-3210.

Home and Away with Dana Wolfe The other night I was cleaning out my cabinets and found a well loved kitchen staple that I had totally forgotten about. When we moved into our new home, I put it and my black iron skillet (that’s another story on its own) clear in the back of the cabinet covered with baskets. My wok! How could I forget my wok? Many a great dinners were made with this guy. I rank him up there with my KitchenAid mixer, and you all know how much I love it. A popular all-purpose Asian pan, the wok is distinguished by its highrounded sloping sides, much like a bowl. The idea of a wok is to create

a hot spot in the bottom where the food will cook quickly and evenly. The sides (or sloped areas) are used to rest the food that is cooking at slightly cooler temperatures. Moving the food around gives you better control, while enabling you to cook each food perfectly and retain the nutrients. I have found that the best wok is a well seasoned one. Season your wok by putting 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in the wok, heat it to medium to high heat, then wipe it out with a paper towel. After it cools, wash with warm soapy water and rinse, then you are ready to cook. If you finely slice a chicken breast, it will cook up in a wok in a matter of a few minutes. Add some of your favorite vegetables and a little seasoning, and you have dinner ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish. How in the world could I forget my wok? A wok is a great tool to have when cooking for a large dinner party, and makes for a great presentation. Slice all your colorful vegetables before you start cooking and have them laying out on your cutting board with some rice, a nice salad with mixed greens, almonds, cranberries and bamboo shoots, and you’re ready to entertain. Remember to cut the vegetables into uniform-size
pieces for even cooking. I’ll give you two guesses to what I’m having for dinner tonight. Trainer Tammy’s Tip: Try adding this amazing upper body and abdominal exercise to your workout.
