Ice cream is synonymous with summer, when rising temperatures and vacations from school and work call for some refreshing celebration.

Those who want to experiment with homemade ice cream may want to consider the following recipe for “Dulce de Leche Ice Cream” from Lou Seibert Pappas’ “Ice Creams and Sorbets” (Chronicle Books).

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart 2 cups half-and-half or milk 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 12 ounces butterscotch chips, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Prepare a large bowl or pan of ice water.

PULSE pulsepointpress.com July 2014

In the top of a double boiler, heat the half-and-half over simmering water until steaming. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended, then whisk in the sugar. Whisk in about half of the hot half-and-half and pour the yolk mixture into the pan of half-and-half. Stir with a silicone spatula or spoon and cook over simmering water for about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the chips and continue stirring until blended in and the custard coats the back of the spatula, about 2 minutes more.

Immediately place the custard pan in the ice bath and stir the custard occasionally until it cools to room temperature. Transfer to a container and stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the remaining 1 cup chips and churn until blended in, about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. n

* Make a reservation. Outdoor seating is not always easy to get.

To ensure you will have a spot at your favorite restaurant, call ahead and reserve a table. Otherwise, you may have to wait quite a while for a table to become available or be forced to sit inside. * Scout out restaurants beforehand. If you are hoping to try a new restaurant that boasts outdoor dining, plan a visit to see the layout of the space. Many restaurants, even those without ample outdoor space, cater to the outdoor-seating crowd, even if their outdoor dining area is limited to a handful of cafe tables placed near the curb. Unless you want to spend your meal with pedestrians walking by or inhaling car exhaust fumes, visit the restaurant ahead of time to ensure that the outdoor seating is more amenable to an enjoyable meal. * Choose restaurants with overhead coverage. It is one thing to want to eat outdoors, and entirely another to be subjected

* Don’t assume an outdoor restaurant is pet-friendly. Just because there are outdoor tables does not mean you can bring your pooch along. If you will be spending the day with your dog and then want to enjoy a lunch or dinner outdoors with your pet, verify that a restaurant is pet-friendly before meal time.

Do not leave a dog unattended in a hot car and waiting for you to finish a meal should you discover the restaurant is not pet-friendly. * Expect some uninvited guests.

Dining outside means bees, flies, birds, and other animals. Those who are deathly afraid of all buzzing insects may want to eat indoors instead. * Check for a dedicated outdoor waitstaff. Unless there is a waitstaff assigned to outdoor seating, you may spend more time than you anticipated waiting for service outdoors. Waiters may not realize you are outside, and it can be easy to forget about patrons who are not seated in the heart of the restaurant. Restaurants accustomed to serving guests outdoors will have staff assigned to outdoor seating areas, particularly during busy times of the day. n

Keep pests away from entertaining areas Outdoor entertaining is one of the joys of nicer weather.

People routinely gather on the patio or around the pool when the weather warms up, and such recreational activities can foster companionship and reduce stress.

However, if nuisance animals and insects are sharing entertaining spaces, these pests can quickly put a damper on the festivities.

While it may seem impossible to keep an outdoor entertaining area completely pest-free, there are ways to keep such unwanted intrusions manageable.

Identify common pests Yard pests vary depending on geography, so the first step is to figure out which pests are native to your area. Mosquitoes can be found in many locales, but certain insects may be exclusive to specific regions. For example, palmetto bugs are native to moist, tropical areas, such as the southeastern United States.

In addition to insects, squirrels, moles, raccoons, and other rodents may also descend on a property. Neighborhoods that abut natural ecosystems or infringe on wild animals’ habitats may see a wider array of animals encroaching on entertaining spaces. Deer, bears, coyotes, and certain bird species can present their own brands of trouble.

Homeowners new to an area may have to experience a learning curve to determine which pests are common to a certain area, as well as which seasons bring which creatures.

Try natural repellents first

You Are getting

To minimize damage to the environment and to protect local wildlife, homeowners should exhaust natural ways to repel pests before resorting to less ecofriendly methods. Animals can be kept out of a yard with fences

and other barriers, such as thorny bushes. Many pests are deterred by smells or certain structures in a lawn or garden. For example, inserting chicken wire into a garden bed may be enough to repel burrowing animals. Certain insects, such as flies and mosquitoes, find the aromas of citronella grass, basil and marigold offensive. Surrounding a property with these plants can create a natural bug repellent. Lavender and rosemary are other aromatics that may deter pests. Blood meal and soap solutions can repel deer and other wildlife that may feed on garden plants.

Pests attracted to food can be kept at bay with frequent sweeping or hosing down of the patio. In addition, maintain a clean grill and store trash in tightly secured receptacles. cont. on page 6

Pests from previous

Consider more traditional alternatives If natural repellents do not work, you may need to rely on more traditional products to repel insects and other pests. Beetle traps lure beetles with an inviting scent before the beetle gets trapped in a bag and cannot exit.

Traps for wasps and flies follow a similar premise. Bug zappers are largely viewed as an inhumane option but can be highly effective.

Unfortunately, these zappers also attract and kill beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies.

Chemical repellents also are available. Stores stock pesticides

that will rid plants of damaging insects. These repellents also may be used around the patio to make the area inhospitable to insects and other pests.

Contact an exterminator If the problem is simply too difficult to manage on your own, then you might need to contact an exterminator, who can spray the perimeter of the home for bugs and can also be called in to safely trap and remove nuisance animals. An exterminator may also have detailed knowledge of protected species and which habitats can and cannot be disturbed. n

Could any food be as simplistic and delicious at the same time as a patty of beef on top of a crusty bun, served with lettuce, tomato and your choice of condiments?

Burgers are the go-to item for barbecues, campouts, fast-food meals, and late night trips to the diner. A juicy burger can satisfy so many cravings in one sitting.

If ever there was a recipe to master, it would be grilling the perfect burger. Though barbecued burgers may seem easy to make, all too often burgers are botched by a few mistakes. But don’t worry, burger mastery is within reach if you follow these simple tips.

* Begin with fresh meat. Freshly ground meat will produce the best flavor. If you are unsure when the packaged ground beef was made, ask the butcher or someone in the meat department of the supermarket to grind you up a fresh batch. Otherwise, use a food processor or an attachment on a stand mixer to grind the meat yourself. * Fat has flavor. If you’re going to indulge in a burger, make sure it has a fair amount of fat content.

Fat helps keep the burgers moist and juicy. Make sure the fat content is about 18 to 20 percent of continued on page 12

LUXURY

Weddings are typically the culmination of months of careful planning. After a couple has officially tied the knot, a celebration typically follows. Although music and mingling are integral to a wedding reception, the meal is often the central component of the party.

Couples have options when choosing dinner service for their weddings, and some need not serve dinner at all. An early wedding may consist of a brunch or some passed appetizers, while some couples opt for a cocktail party in lieu of a dinner party.

Still, some weddings feature only desserts.

But guests attending more traditional weddings expect to dine at the receptions that follow such affairs. Buffet service and a sit-down dinner are the most popular choices for wedding meals, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the dinner service that works best for yourPM wedding 12:37 Page 1may involve a care-

Sit-down dinner A sit-down dinner consists of several courses of plated food served by a waitstaff. Guests never have to leave their seats, and sit-down service is usually in line with a formal reception.

Some food offerings at sit-down dinners tend to be fancy and presented in a manner that is appealing both to the eye and the palate.

There are several advantages to sit-down meals. Guests can focus entirely on enjoying themselves and conversing with fellow guests rather than getting up to seek out food, and those with mobility issues do not have to worry about maneuvering to a buffet station or trying to balance food. Guests get top-notch treatment and will have a waitstaff on call to fill their every need, which can make an affair more memorable for all in attendance.

But sit-down dinners are typically more expensive as well.

Guests are generally given several choices for the main course, and that could mean ordering extra food and preparing it to be ready for guests’ selections. Serving meals may take longer, and sometimes meals may not arrive hot to the table. Guests may be limited to certain food choices, and portion sizes may not be what guests were hoping for. Sitting idle for a while can affect the mood of the reception and lead to boredom.

Buffet service A buffet-style dinner is served from a long dais table that holds several chafing dishes full of food.

Wedding guests will rise from their seats and make their way to the buffet stations, where they’ll be able to serve themselves or be served by staff manning the stations.

Buffets present an array of foods that cater to the various dietary needs of guests. Those at the reception can sample several different foods rather than be restricted to one main course.

Guests can limit portion sizes or sometimes return for second helpings. Buffets are generally less formal and allow guests to mingle more readily.

But buffet-style meals may produce long lines as guests pick and choose their meals. While experienced catering managers and reception site staff should have plans in place to create a free-flow of guests to the buffet stations, there will be a first and a last table called to eat, and guests on the tail end of the service may be stuck with whatever is left over if food is not adequately restocked. In an effort to accommodate everyone, extra food may be cooked for buffet-style dinners, which can be costly and wasteful. In addition, guests are asked to do more work, as they need to get up and retrieve their own food.

A catering company or the banquet manager at a reception site can work with couples as they decide if a buffet or sit-down dinner is the best option for their wedding receptions.n

When was tea first served cold?

The origins of iced tea are still in question. Various sources state that iced tea emerged in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair. However, records indicate that iced tea may have been served even earlier than 1904.

Iced tea is a popular beverage served in restaurants across the country, and people at home mix up instant versions of iced tea once the warm weather hits.

In 1839, a cookbook titled “The Kentucky Housewife” featured a recipe for a chilled Tea Punch.

In 1879, another cookbook, “Housekeeping in Old Virginia,” included a recipe for sweet tea,

a popular, sweeter version of iced tea. It is widely believed that tea was served cold in areas of the southern United States before iced tea became a novelty elsewhere.

Many historical accounts credit the 1904 World’s Fair with introducing iced tea to the masses.

Particularly warm June weather at the fair led British tea vendor Richard Blechynden to rethink his idea for a tea party to promote Ceylon and Indian Tea at his vendor pavillion. While the public lined up for a nearby ice cream vendor in an effort to escape the heat, few people were in line to perfect burger from page 8

the mix. This helps to guarantee flavorful burgers. * Don’t overhandle the meat.

Compressing the meat and handling it too much can lead to dry, dense burgers. Avoid tough meat by handling it as little as possible.

Keep your hands wet while shaping the patties so they’ll come together easily. * Oil up the grill. A clean, welloiled grill prevents burgers from sticking during cooking.

* Make sure the grill is superhot. The goal is to cook burgers over high heat and fast. This is achieved with a very hot grill. It may only take three to five minutes per side to cook the burgers, depending on the thickness of the patty. * Flip only once. Wait until the burgers have been grilling for a

sample a cup of hot tea.

Blechynden adapted to the situation and noticed an ice delivery at a nearby food stand. He purchased blocks of ice and began picking away to chip ice into glasses. He poured the brewed tea over the ice and began offering it to the crowd. The iced tea was a success and helped to solidify a beverage that residents of the southern United States had long been enjoying. According to the company Teas Etc., 85 percent of the tea consumed in the United States today is served over ice. Iced tea is also enjoyed all over the world. n

few minutes and release easily from the grill grate. Flip them over and allow them to cook a few minutes more. This helps keep the juices inside the meat and prevents your burgers from turning into burnt hockey pucks. * Resist the urge to squash the burgers. Pushing down on the burgers with the spatula will only force the juices out. If you want dry burgers, press them down. If you want nice, juicy burgers, step away from the spatula. * Allow the burgers to rest.

Take the burgers off the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes so that all of their juice redistributes through the patty. Toast your hamburger buns and then serve the burgers with your favorite toppings.

Adjusting golf swing gets easier Golfers rejoice! Those dreaded slices or hooks could become a thing of the distant past thanks to adjustable clubs and drivers. In addition to helping improve accuracy, adjustable clubs also lighten the load in your golf bag.

reduced the spin on golf balls to help the balls travel farther.To do so, golf experts advise that the ball needs to be hit higher into the air.

Adjustable drivers can give players the edge they need to produce the right height and trajectory.

With a few twists of a wrench or even turning the shaft of the driver itself, golfers can adjust the face angle, loft and lie angle of the driver to hit the ball farther and straighter.

Golfers can make small adjustments to create the right loft and improve distance without having to purchase a new club or visit a club fitter.

According to data from golf club manufacturer TaylorMade, 70 percent of consumers who use the company’s adjustable drivers adjust their club at least once to get the desired shot. Afterward, 10 to 15 percent of adjustable driver users report further adjustments as they become comfortable with the features.

Many club manufacturers now offer adjustable drivers and other clubs. According to an informal poll on Golf.com, 34 percent of the 2,337 respondents owned an adjustable driver by the end of 2011.

The ability to upgrade shafts has also become popular as golfers respond to what the pros are doing.

Adjustable golf clubs enable golfers to walk out onto the course with one driver and a few different shafts. With a couple of clicks from a wrench, a person can have an entirely new driver.That cuts down on the equipment that needs to be carried and can fine tune a golfer’s accuracy.These high-tech clubs are corresponding to changes being made to golf balls. Engineers have

Although golfers can now put adjustments into their own hands, it is still adviseable to get a professional fitting regardless of which clubs are chosen. A certified club fitter can help a person sort through the myriad options available and make recommendations based on various factors, including the golf ball used.

Those who are not fans of adjustable drivers say that the adjustment mechanisms add weight to the drivers, which can compromise efficiency. However, that isn’t stopping larger numbers of golf fans from taking adjustable drivers for a trial run in an effort to improve their game. n

How to keep things light when dining out this summer Dining out is a great way to experience new cuisine and enjoy a meal with family and friends. But dining out often leads to overeating, a problem that’s unhealthy year-round but especially inconvenient when warm air makes it more uncomfortable to deal with the side effects of overeating.

Though some restaurants offer large portions that can make it difficult to lighten things up when dining out in the summer, the following are a handful of ways diners can keep things light but still enjoy their favorite restaurants even when the mercury has risen. * Don’t be bashful. Some restaurants alter their menus in warmer weather to accommodate those customers who prefer lighter fare on hot nights. But even those that don’t make such alterations might be amenable to customers who request certain changes when dining out. For example, ask your waiter if you can

substitute vegetables in lieu of a side of potatoes or french fries, which tend to be heavier and harder to digest. Don’t be afraid to ask for such substitutions or even ask that vegetable servings be doubled. * Don’t mistake “low-carb” for “low-calorie.” Just because a dish is heralded as “low-carb” does not necessarily mean it’s low in calories. A low-carb dish might seem like the perfect option on a warm summer night, but not if it’s laden with calories.

Before ordering a low-carb dish, confirm if it’s also low in calories and low in fat. If not, look for a lighter option to avoid feeling too full after dinner. * Think inside the box. When ordering a large entree, you can be creative by asking your waiter to box half of your meal before it even reaches the table. This prevents you from overeating and makes it more likely that you will eat a meal that’s more in tune with a healthy serving size. * Don’t pile on your salad.

Salads are a summertime staple for many people, who prefer salads because they’re delicious but not likely to produce any symptoms of overeating. But salads are only as light as their ingredients allow them to be.

If you want to keep things light and healthy, avoid adding too many ingredients to your salad.

Creamy dressings are often heavy, especially when paired

with ingredients like bacon and cheese. When adding ingredients to your salad, opt for lighter and healthier items like raw vegetables or even some fresh fruit. * Forgo the freebies. While many people consider complementary bread baskets one of the joys of dining out, such freebies also make meals more filling. If you anticipate your meal taking a long time to make it to your table, ask the waiter to bring a plate of fresh fruit or vegetables in lieu of a bread basket or a bowl of chips or nachos. This way you won’t starve while waiting for your meal, but also you won’t be filling up on heavy foods you might regret eating when you head back into the warm summer air. * Split dessert. Dessert might seem like the ideal way to cap off a delicious meal, but a decadent slice of chocolate cake or creamy helping of creme brulee only makes a meal more filling.

If you must indulge in dessert, split your dessert with a fellow diner so your last few bites of the night don’t make you feel uncomfortable when it’s time to leave the restaurant.

Many people prefer to eat less when temperatures rise. And while restaurants tend to offer larger portions than you might eat at home, there are ways to enjoy a night out on the town without overdoing it at the dinner table. n

Warm weather provides a great opportunity to slow down and savor time spent having fun in the great outdoors. But time spent away from home often leads to meals made on the fly or last-minute jaunts to a nearby fast-food restaurant. Though last-minute meals or trips to the local burger joint might be convenient, they are not always healthy. Fortunately, there are other ways to eat well even when you’re pressed for time. * Choose fast-cooking foods.

Stock the pantry with items that will cook quickly. Fresh produce can be steamed or grilled in only a few minutes and served alone as a vegetarian meal or mixed with other foods for a quick entree.

Seafood tends to cook quite fast, and many seafood dishes make for a low-fat source of healthy protein and essential fatty acids. Seafood also is lighter on the stomach, which fits well with the smaller meals people tend to enjoy during warm weather. Even foods that

take a long time to cook can be prepared quickly. Thick cuts of meat or poultry can be fileted or sliced to allow them to cook faster. * Cook with high heat. Instead of slow-roasting or plugging in the slow cooker for hours on end, instant meal gratification often means cranking up the heat. That is why grilling is such a popular cooking method this time of year. Grilling will sear meats and vegetables over high heat, sometimes as much as 400 to 500 F, cooking foods rapidly as a result. Select meats that do well over high heat, such as those that are tender, because they will not require long cooking periods to break down the fibers in the meat. If grilling is not an option, then stir-frying is another way to cook fast over high heat. Invest in a wok or another deep frying pan for such meals.

* Have prepared items on standby. Keep the refrigerator stocked with already-washed vegetables and lettuce. Parboiled potatoes or pasta can be mixed in with a number of different ingredients to create a filling meal. When free time allows, develop a plan so meals take less time to prepare. If frozen items must be defrosted, make sure to put them in the refrigerator the day before they will be cooked to begin the thawing period. Otherwise, use a microwave to safely defrost foods rather than leaving them out on the counter where bacteria can grow. * Don’t fret a no-fuss night.

Not every meal has to be a three-course delight. A fast dinner could equate to a sandwich or salad. Breakfast foods for dinner are also quite popular and can cook up quickly. n

When the mercury rises, the search is on for ways to escape the heat. One way to cool off is to flock to the coast and wade through the incoming surf. Others prefer the calmer waters of a backyard pool. On days when it may be too oppressive to spend even mere minutes outdoors, it’s time to go inside. A fun way to stay cool is to head to a nearby movie theater to catch one of summer’s predicted blockbuster hits.

“Iron Man 3” and “The Lego Movie” are two of the top-grossing films of the last year. But there are many summer movies predicted to take the top spots. Those ready to grab their large popcorn and soft drink combos and sit down for two hours of cool air and entertainment may want to check out these planned releases.

How to Train Your Dragon 2: Keeping the kids amused during summer vacation may be as simple as taking them to this animated sequel. The first “Dragon” movie explored the war between Vikings and fire-breathing dragons. The next installment finds the dragons and Vikings working together to maintain the peace.

Maleficent: Moviegoers who don’t always want to root for the good guy of the fairy tale classics are probably anxious for this Disney release. Based on the villainous titular character, and starring Angelina Jolie in the lead, “Maleficent” should be a summer blockbuster contender.

Master Your Backyard Barbecue

APPETIZERS Coaxing layers of mouthwatering savory, smoky flavor out of grilled meat instantly transforms your backyard barbecue from hohum to heavenly. As the temperatures rise this grilling season, focus on flavor to take your backyard barbecue to a whole new level.

The distinct flavors of grilled foods come from three sources, according to Ardie Davis, renowned judge on the barbecue circuit and founder of the American Royal International BBQ Sauce, Rub & Baste Contest.

These include seasonings and marinades used to flavor food before grilling; smoky flavors that emerge during grilling itself (from wood chips, planks or sauces or seasonings applied while cooking); and finishing sauces applied after the food is removed from the heat.

To create dishes full of flavor this grilling season, follow these easy tips from Davis: * Tenderize with marinades.

Marinades transform tougher cuts of meat into flavorful and tender options. KC Masterpiece marinades will penetrate meat in 30 minutes, adding flavor and increasing tenderness. * Enhance with wood chips or planks. Build on the grill’s natural smoky flavor with wood chips or planks that infuse subtle layers of new tastes, such as hickory or apple. Scatter dry chips directly on the coals and watch for them

to begin to smoke before placing meat on the grill. Keep the lid closed in between turning the meat to create a stronger smoky flavor. * Keep meat moist. Use a spatula or tongs for flipping. Piercing meats can release flavorful juices and moistness, resulting in dry meat and diminished taste. * Top with Blue Ribbon flavor.

Add smoky and sweet flavor to every bite with KC Masterpiece sauces, which can be used for broiling, baking and grilling, and as an ingredient in many recipes.

The sauce company celebrates the classic Blue Ribbon recipe that won “Best Sauce” at the first American Royal Barbecue sauce competition in 1978 and is made with real sugar and rich dark molasses.

Try Davis’ recipe for Kansas City Classic Ribs to bring authentic flavor to your favorite ‘cue. Visit www.kcmasterpiece.com for additional tips and flavorful grilling recipes.

There are many scrumptious reasons for including shrimp into your family’s diet. In fact, the American Heart Association and other experts recommend eating seafood at least twice a week, and the FDA just announced this year that pregnant women should consume between 8-12 ounces of seafood a week. It’s easy to work towards this dietary goal by introducing Gulf shrimp into your diet. This versatile protein is easy to prepare; has a wonderfully salty and fresh flavor from the nutrient-rich environment in which it is caught; and is also widely available fresh and frozen at your local grocery.

Unexpected Summertime Toppings for Your Oatmeal If you think of oatmeal as old fashioned, it’s time to think again.

Whole grain oats are one of the most versatile breakfast staples and provide a perfect blank slate for this summer’s seasonal ingredients. Most produce is at its best during the summer months; fruits like cherries, raspberries and nectarines or vegetables like corn, tomatoes and zucchini are great additions to turn oatmeal from a typical winter dish into a fresh, summer treat.

As Creative Oatmeal Officer, Stephens has partnered with Quaker to help nourish families in New York City and across the country with creative tips and innovative recipes filled with delicious flavors. She discovered her love for all things oatmeal in college and since then has devoted her life to sharing her passion, creativity and appreciation of oatmeal with everyone. Two of her favorite summer recipes can

be found below.

In fact, oatmeal shouldn’t be limited to just the breakfast table. It can be a healthy, budget-friendly option for families also looking for delicious snack, lunch or dinner options. There are numerous ways to use simple ingredients to create both savory and sweet dishes for the whole family. Visit www.oatmealchefsam.com for more inspiration.

“It’s amazing how toppings found at the grocery store or farmers market can transform a traditional bowl of oatmeal into a culinary delight,” says Sam Stephens, owner of OatMeals, the world’s first oatmeal bar, which opened its doors in New York City in 2012. “Ingredients like fresh figs and blueberries or even tomatoes and basil can help boost the dish’s flavor to the next level and change the way we typically enjoy oatmeal.”

Although the break from school makes summer mornings less hectic for many families, plans ranging from swimming lessons to a trip to the lake can still put a pinch on the start of the day.

Because those summer activities tend to involve a healthy dose of physical activity, it’s especially important to start the day with a well-balanced breakfast, even when time is tight.

Get your family off to a strong start with a wholesome breakfast each day this summer with these time-saving tips: Aim for balance. The best way to start the day is with a complete meal that covers most - if not all - of the food groups to give your body the boost it needs. Work to incorporate proteins, grains, fruits and dairy every morning.

Save time and add flavor. You can enjoy a flavorful breakfast with protein and shave minutes on preparation and clean-up with meats that just need quick heating, such as Jimmy Dean Delights Fully Cooked Chicken Sausage Links and Patties. Several flavors make it easy to change up your morning menu, and with 10 grams of protein and only 120 calories per serving, the new links and patties offer a better-for-you option that’s both

tasty and convenient. Plus, these delicious breakfast additions pair perfectly with scrambled eggs.

Carve out weekend prep time.

Dedicating a little time on the weekend can make weekday mornings run more smoothly.

Do the prep work for your family’s favorite breakfast foods, so minimal extra work is needed each day. Stem a carton of strawberries, slice a melon and pit some cherries for quick servings of fruit.

Find recipes that do extra duty.

Mini quiches, frittatas and even breakfast burrito fillings are tasty breakfast options that allow you to pack multiple food groups into a single menu. Many of these items can be prepared ahead of time and kept frozen. Pre-diced frozen veggies and fully-cooked meats, such as Jimmy Dean Delights Fully Cooked Chicken Sausage Links and Patties, can help trim your cooking time even more.

You’ve heard it said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with these shortcuts you can be sure to deliver a strong morning start for your family all summer long.

Recreate a Restaurant Classic Serve Porterhouse Pork Chops with Steakhouse Butter

Everyone loves eating out - but with grilling season in full swing, there is no better time to recreate a restaurant classic in your own backyard.

“You can ‘wow’ your guests at your next backyard gathering by making one of my favorite restaurant-worthy meals at home - like Dry-Rubbed Porterhouse Pork Chops with Steakhouse Butter,” said Ray “Dr. BBQ” Lampe, chef and author of the recently released cookbook, “Pork Chop.”

“The steakhouse butter is extra savory, and it perfectly complements the juicy, tender chops coated in a tangy, mildly-spiced dry rub.”

Serve these pork chops with traditional restaurant fare - like a baked potato and creamed spinach - and follow Lampe’s tips for pork chop perfection:

1. Preheat the grill and cooking grate completely before cooking; it will help for even browning and cooking.

2. Ask your guests if they prefer their pork chops cooked medium or medium-rare.

3. To get your pork chops to the preferred internal temperature, grill them like a steak - between 145 degree F (medium-rare) and 160 degree F (medium), followed by a three-minute res, and use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

4. For smoky flavor, add a handful of soaked wood chips to the fire right before you add the chops.

For a gas grill, place soaked wood chips in a single sheet aluminum foil packet with four to six holes on the top. Place packet, holes facing up, directly on the grate, off to one side.

Dry-Rubbed Porterhouse Pork Chops with Steakhouse Butter Yield: 6 servings

Prep time: 1 hour

Cook time: 8 to 10 minutes

6 Porterhouse Pork Chops, about 1-inch thick Steakhouse Butter: 1 stick butter at room temperature 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Pinch of thyme Wax paper

Dry Rub: 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons raw sugar 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander For butter, two hours before grilling, heat medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Add shallots, garlic and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until shallots are soft. Transfer to medium bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.

Add remaining butter, parsley, lemon juice, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Using fork, mash and mix until fully blended.

Lay out a piece of wax paper (approximately 12-by-12 inches) and form butter into an 8-inch-long log shape in center. Roll butter up in wax paper and twist ends tightly to form an even round log of butter.

Place in refrigerator for one hour or until firm. This can be made up to two days ahead of time.

For rub, combine salt, sugar, chili powder, onion, garlic, pepper and coriander in small bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle rub liberally on both sides of pork chops. Let rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare grill to cook directly over medium-high heat. Place pork chops on cooking grate and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown on bottom. Flip chops and cook another 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown on second side and cooked to internal temperature between 145 degrees F (medium rare) and 160 degrees F (medium). Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes.

Unwrap butter and cut it into 12 equal-sized medallions. Serve each pork chop with a medallion on top. n

Ideas on restoring secondhand furniture

Men and women furnish their homes and apartments in various ways. For some, home furnishings are an extension of their personalities, while others prioritize budget over style when furnishing their domiciles.

Secondhand furniture has long been used to furnish homes and apartments. While young people working with tight budgets and living in their first apartments might be the most likely to rely on secondhand furniture, such items are not exclusive to recent college graduates and young professionals. Homeowners with a love of antiques or those who simply can’t resist thrift store bargains also are likely to lean on secondhand furniture.

Used furnishings range from expensive high-end antiques to bargain bin chairs and couches found in thrift stores or purchased online. Pricey antiques

often come fully restored, but that still leaves legions of shoppers who need to bring their secondhand furnishings back to life. The following are a few ways to do just that. * Embrace your inner Picasso. A fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward stylizing secondhand furniture. Items that have been through a lot before making it to your home may benefit from some sanding before receiving a fresh coat of paint. Once items have been sanded, smoothed and cleaned, apply some primer before dusting off your paintbrush. Primer makes it easier for the fresh coat of paint to bond to the furniture, making it less likely that the new coat will chip or crack in the months to come.

After applying primer, the painting can commence. Two to three coats should be sufficient to give the item a fresh new look. Allow continued on next page

Old chairs and couches tend to have ample wear and tear. But such items are still useful as long as their bones are still sturdy, even if cushions have flattened out and fabric is suffering from tears or stains.

Reupholstering furniture can be a tedious process, and one novices might want to leave to the professionals. The cost of reupholstering secondhand furniture bought at a garage sale, thrift store or private seller online is likely still less expensive than buying a new piece, so you might still make out in the long run. * Wash away years of wear and tear. Restoring secondhand furniture can sometimes be as easy as washing away years of wear and tear. Old chests of drawers, dressers or armoires might just need a good scrubbing to look as good as new. Before cleaning

older furniture, remove the old wax with a stripper bought at a hardware store. Old coats of wax can prevent cleaners from reaching the surface of the furniture, so they must be removed for cleaning products to be effective. When cleaning old furniture, it’s a good idea to solicit advice from antique dealers, who can help you avoid damaging the piece even further. A small amount of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water can be used to gently clean old wax off of furniture. When applying such a mixture, be careful to avoid soaking the item or letting the mixture pool on its surface. Work slowly, gradually cleaning small areas one by one and wiping them down with a damp cloth to ensure wax and other residue has vanishedcompletely. Once the item has been thoroughly cleaned and been given ample time to dry, you can apply a new coat of wax.

Older furniture can be both practical and chic, and there are many ways to bring such items back to life without breaking the bank. n

Pizza Garden – Utica Style There are a number of foods that are unique to the area.

One of my favorites is Tomato Pie, a Utica spin on pizza. I can still remember the smell of my Mother’s marina sauce simmering on the stove made with fresh ingredients from the garden. That sauce would then be used for making tomato pie for us. You may be saying that you don’t have the space in the yard, the time to take care of a garden or it’s just a lot of work!

True, it is more work and time consuming than just running to the grocery store. But the satisfaction of growing it yourself adds a flavor to dishes that is hard to describe. The added benefit is that it is a fun activity to do with kids. It gives them a chance to be outside and understand nature and healthy eating. Plus what kid doesn’t love pizza!

Preparation First step is to prepare the garden bed. Your garden can be either round (classic pizza) or rectangle (like tomato pie). For this garden we will be working with a rectangle. Make sure that you locate the garden in spot where it will get at least 8 hours of sun a day. Mark out the area 8 feet by 6 feet for the garden and till the soil to a depth of about 12 inches. Since many parts of the region have a lot of clay in the soil you may want to add some fresh topsoil or compost to your garden while you are tilling. Once you have your garden placed and the soil prepared it’s time to plant.

plant. What makes a pizza garden a pizza garden, are the plants that you choose. One of the benefits of going to a greenhouse is that you can get suggestions on specific varieties to use to make your garden your own.

3 Tomatoes - You will want two types of tomatoes with the Roma variety definitely being one of them. Still not sure?

When you go to the greenhouse don’t be afraid to ask them for suggestions. Specifically you will want to look for tomatoes that are the plum or paste variety. Plant these about 2 feet apart 4 Onions – plant these about 4-5” apart Long Day onions work best in this area 2 Basil - plant these about 15-18” apart 1 Oregano - Plant these about 10-12” apart 2 Parsley - Plant these about 10-12” apart 1Bell Pepper - plant these about 12-15” apart 1 Cherry Peppers - plant these about 12-15” apart Feel free to add or delete plants from this list depending on what toppings you like on your pizza.

Okay the hard part is over now you just have to make sure that you keep your garden watered.

Water it once a day for the first week and then every few days after that. Now you watch your garden grow and reap its bounty.

Pick the vegetables as they ripen and use them to make your next culinary masterpiece.

How to lessen a pool’s impact on the environment Don’t Replace that Liner When You Can Fix It!

SAVE $$$ We Use Leak Trac Technology ...the latest electronic leak detection & plumbing pressure testing equipment to find the leak fast ... even in the cloudiest of water.

We find leaks others cannot!

TRENTON CORPORATION Learn About Pool Leaks and How We Fix Them: Few things bring more relief than a swim on a hot day. The cool water of a pool can revive tired muscles and make a sticky body more comfortable. Spending time poolside is one of the more popular warm-weather recreational activities.

To maintain a safe swimming environment, pool water and equipment needs to be sanitary. Pool chemicals and the natural environment are not always a good mix.

However, there are ways to reduce the chances a backyard pool will have a significant negative effect on the environment.

Maintain proper upkeep Chlorine derivatives are the primary sanitizing agent used to keep pool water sparkling clean.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chlorine is one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals in the United States. Chlorine is used

in cleaning products to kill harmful bacteria as well as in the sanitation for industrial waste and sewage. In high amounts, chlorine can be poisonous. Burning and irritation can occur when the skin is exposed to liquid chlorine.

The best way to keep chlorine use under control is to carefully stay on top of pool maintenance.

Algae blooms or dirty water will require concentrated treatment with chlorine. In contrast, pool water that is maintained will necessitate only marginal levels of chlorine to maintain cleanliness. Routinely test water levels to ensure everything is in order. It can only take a day or two for pool water condition to spiral out of control.

Reduce evaporation Depending on the size of a pool, it will require several thousands of gallons of water to fill. Water is an expensive commodity and continued on page 39

Falls cause many injuries inside a home. Seniors are especially susceptible to harmful falls in the bathroom, where slippery tiles can prove too difficult for older men and women to navigate.

in the shower may want to invest in a bench or seat to put into the shower. This enables sitting while washing.

Bathrooms can be more dangerous than other rooms of the house for a variety of reasons.

The bathroom is generally comprised of hard surfaces that can become slippery when wet or exposed to high humidity. A bathroom may become hotter than other rooms because of the steam that accompanies a hot shower. Heat may dilate peripheral veins and lower blood pressure in some people. This may lead to dizziness that can result in falls.

Installing safety features in the bathroom is a key way to reduce the risk of accidents. Many manufacturers have even designed these features so they blend with bathroom decor.

When renovating bathrooms for safety, consider the following options. * Anti-scald features: Burns can be serious business. Few people have been spared the momentary burst of hot water that occurs in the shower or at the faucet when another household member flushes a toilet or uses a large amount of cold water elsewhere in the house. Anti-scald showerheads and faucets prevent sudden bursts of hot water. Use in conjunction with turning down the temperature of the hot water heater to eliminate burns. * Nonslip mats: Bathroom injuries often occur when people are getting in and out of the shower. Having a non-slip mat on the inside of the shower or tub as well as one with a grippable surface and plush top layer on which to step after exiting the shower can reduce falls.

Don’t step out of the shower onto a flimsy towel that can slip out from underneath your feet. * Bath bench: The elderly or those prone to lightheadedness

* Safety bars: It can be tempting to grab onto towel racks or faucets to get in and out of the shower, but these items cannot provide the necessary leverage to safely move in and out of the shower or bathtub. Safety bars with a brushed surface for traction are more secure. Grab bars need to be securely attached to a wood stud in the wall and not into drywall or the tub enclosure. * Raised toilet seat: A raised toilet seat reduces the amount of squatting and the distance that has to be covered to sit on the commode. Grab bars on the raised seat itself will provide added safety. * Telephone: The bathroom may seem an odd place to install a telephone, but having one nearby in the event of injury can ensure help gets to the injured party much more quickly. * Be sure to keep clutter in the bathroom to a minimum to stop trips and falls over errant items in the area.

Bathrooms can present many dangers, but certain safety tools and renovations can help reduce the risk of injury. n

A New Way to Excel and Thrive in Life...

PULSE pulsepointpress.com July 2014

Everybody knows that Chiropractic care helps with back pain.

Hundreds of studies have been published in medical journals that support this fact. I get referrals every week from medical doctors of all types who have read them.

Chiropractic works. Did you know that Chiropractic may also help with other health problems or can even be used to enhance your performance? It is true.

More and more data is showing that in addition to the traditional back pain, neck pain, headache relief that most patients traditionally see a Chiropractor for, Chiropractic adjustments can also help with other ailments.

Asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, acid reflux, earaches, sinus trouble, irritable bowel disease, and reproductive problems all may respond favorably to Chiropractic care even when conventional methods have failed.

For example, a double-blinded medical study was just performed last year that was published in a popular peer reviewed Orthopedic journal. The study concluded that regular Chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical spine (neck) reduced the blood pressure of the patients in the study.

How cool is that? Do I have your attention now?

at detecting and removing these harmful subluxations in your spine, thus restoring your body’s natural ability to heal.

If there is no nervous system interference in your body, your body can function optimally. This means no sickness, no disease, and surely no pain. Patients under regular Chiropractic care frequently report more energy, less sickness, and are generally happier and more focused. This goes for children too. If you have a spine, it should be checked regularly for subluxated vertebrae by a Doctor of Chiropractic. It makes sense to take care of it because it controls your entire body and ensures that you continue to live, breathe, heal, and thrive.

The reason behind this is simple: Chiropractic adjustments affect your nervous system that runs every cell, tissue and organ in your body. By delivering an impulse to your spine, a well-trained Chiropractor can remove the interference that may be blocking precious nerve flow to an organ or system. These “roadblocks” are called vertebral subluxations and they can be detrimental to your body and your overall health. Chiropractors are skilled

Did you know?

According to the International Telecommunication Union, there are nearly as many cell phone subscriptions as there are people on the planet. The ITU, which is the telecommunications agency of the United Nations, states there are 6.8 billion cell phone subscriptions across the planet, which is home to seven billion people. If those figures seem staggering, note that the world became so cell phonedependent in a little more than 20 years.

The figures are even more eyeopening in the world’s wealthiest countries, where the penetration rates exceeded 100 percent thanks to individuals with

more than one subscription. But penetration rates are similarly impressive in poor countries, where there are roughly 89 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. As cellular phones continue to rise in popularity, land-line telephone subscriptions continue to dwindle and the penetration rates in certain areas of the world are even laughably low compared with the penetration rates of cellular phones.For example, Africa has a land-line penetration rate of just 1.4 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, a figure that is dwarfed by the continent’s 63.5 cellular phone penetration rate.

Cinnamon Sensation Mindy came to me feeling like she needed a change in her look. She gave me the freedom to be as creative as I wanted. This is the BEST thing you could possibly say to your stylist! After her consultation, we decided she needed a complete transformation, from her color to the cut. I started by sectioning her hair in “panels” to create solid blocks of color. We chose a dark neutral brown and a medium cinnamon red for her dimensional color. With her skin tone and eye color these two shades were sure to make her features pop. I decided put thick foils in diagonal slices through her bang area to add some flare. After her color was processed it was time to start cutting! I took a few inches off of her length to make it healthy then added layers to create movement and to lighten up the weight of it for her.

I finished the look with a side bang that blended into an angle towards her face. The entire process took about 1 1/2 hours and cost Mindy $80.00.

She was so thrilled with her new look that she brought her daughter in the following day!

How to clean your jewelry clothing detergent or dish soap.

Add a few drops to two cups of warm water and quickly dip the jewelry. Use a soft, dry cloth to dry and buff, then lay gems flat to air dry further. If stones need a little more elbow grease, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scour gently.

Properly caring for fine jewelry can help it retain its luster and beauty, as well as its value. Upon making such significant investments, it’s no surprise that couples prioritize proper care and cleaning techniques to protect their jewelry, and the following are a few ways to do just that. * First examine all the prongs on settings, clasps and other components of the rings to make sure they are secure. Otherwise, pieces or stones could come loose and be lost during the cleaning process.

If anything is loose, bring it to a jeweler for repairs. * When cleaning, try soap and water first before moving on to harsher chemicals if necessary.

Soft, porous jewelry, such as opals, pearls and turquoise, should only be cleaned in this type of solution to ensure they look their best.

Select a mild cleanser, like a gentle

* Ammonia also can clean jewelry quite effectively, but its aroma may turn people off. Diamond jewelry, in particular, can be soaked in one cup of warm water mixed with 1/4 cup ammonia for roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean any grime from the crevices of the setting and beneath the diamond. Rinse off and allow to dry before wearing. If diamonds are set in platinum, ammonia will also clean the setting effectively.

* For silver jewelry, use aluminum foil to clean tarnished silver. Line a tray with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil and place your jewelry on the foil. Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the jewelry, then pour boiling water over it.

The tarnish will transfer from the jewelry to the foil.You may need to flip or move the jewelry around so all sides come in contact with the foil. Remove and rinse with water.

Otherwise, try a specialized silver cleaning paste or solution purchased at the drug store. * Many jewelry stores will clean jewelry free of charge, especially if couples return to the store where the rings were purchased. Some use high-pressured steam to loosen dirt and debris, while others use jewelry cleaning solutions. n

Hair care made simple

A good head of hair can enhance a person’s appearance. Hair hygiene is important, but many do not know where to begin, and myths abound when it comes to hair care. It’s time to wash away the fiction from the facts.

* There is no need to shampoo every day. Some think they’ll be left with a head of dirty, smelly hair if they do not lather up every day, but this is inaccurate. Most people can go a day or more between washing their hair, and waiting between washes actually can be beneficial. “Hair is fiber, and the more you wash it, the worse it’s going to look,” says Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a dermatologist in California specializing in hair research. People with curly, dry or processed hair can probably go longer between washings than those with thin, straight hair.

This enables oils from the scalp to travel down the hair shaft and keep the cuticle healthy. * Conditioner can keep hair smooth and shiny. Some ques-

tion the necessity for conditioner while others can’t live without it.

Those with coarse or dry hair usually find that conditioning a few times a week is necessary to tame hair and keep it shiny and looking healthy. On the flip side, those with naturally moist hair may not need to use conditioner more than once per week. Overuse of conditioner can actually contribute to making hair look dull, dry and weighed down.

People with thin hair may only want to apply conditioner to the ends so as not to make hair flat and heavy. Many people need to experiment with conditioner to find a routine that works. * More lather isn’t necessarily better. Contrary to popular belief, shampoos that generate mounds of rich lather are not necessarily better for your hair. Sulfates are commonly used as lathering agents and may be the first ingredients in many commercially produced shampoos. Sulfates make water feel more wet and spread cleaning ingredients from the shampoo more readily across the hair shaft. However, these same cleansers can dehydrate the sebaceous glands and strip the scalp of essential oils and natural moisture. Many stylists recommend sulfate-free shampoos because they are more gentle on the hair. People who color their hair may find a sulfate-free shampoo helps retain their hair color longer. n

Energy Reading for July 2014 Monthly Reading with Pat Jones

This is a reading of the energy patterns that will be playing out this month, in the collective field of consciousness, using SynchroSign Tiles and Spiritual Guidance.

The energy patterns will affect your personal experiences, in varying degrees, throughout the month.

The first two tiles,The Boat and The Kite, tell you that it’s time to pause and re-evaluate your interests. What are you pursuing in your life? Are you chasing after something that is an illusion, or something that has real potential? These are the questions to ask yourself this month.

The next column of tiles tell you what is making it difficult to see your pursuits clearly, and that is The Great Eternal Return and The Elder. The GER tells you that there are larger cosmic forces at work. You could look at this as a form of karma or natural cycles. The Elder chal-

lenges you to learn from your past. Are you becoming older and wiser or simply repeating the same patterns of futility?

The third tile show the beneficial actions that you can take to address this month’s challenges, and that is The Moon. This tile is calling you to recognize and listen to your intuition – that subtle inner voice or feeling that tells you whether or not something is worth pursuing.

You may not always want to hear what it’s telling you, but this is the way through what you are questioning.

The fourth tile, which indicates an energy pattern that is influencing things but is not strongly apparent, and that is The Mask.

This is a call to recognize how your inner world and your outer actions are, or are not, in harmony. Are you being true to yourself? Are you willing to follow through on what your intuition is telling you?

The last column of tiles refer to the possible outcomes, if you follow through with the suggested actions. Here we are looking at The House and Many Hands. The House represents your integrated self, a sense of harmony within and a feeling of balance and wholeness. Many Hands represents support that is available to you in many ways, from people as well as Spirit.

So to summarize, take time this month to pause and reflect upon whether or not you are pursuing things that are real and beneficial, or putting your energies into something that you are hoping will be beneficial for you, but you’re not seeing it clearly.

Can you learn from your historical patterns and follow your intuition in order to feel a sense of harmony within yourself, and to receive the authentic support that is available to you? These are big questions for the month, so take your time and know that you can always call on me for more personalized support!

She has been using the SynchroSign Tiles since they were first created by her friend, Mary McNaughton, in 1997. She offers private readings in her home office in Sauquoit, NY, as well as over the phone.

Did you know?

The hottest day in recorded history is July 10, 1913, when temperatures soared to 134 F at Furnace Creek, Calif. in the area known as Death Valley. Death Valley is situated between a collection of high and steep mountain ranges in the Mojave Desert, and that positioning, coupled with the low elevation of Death Valley, which is 282 feet below sea level in certain places, assures high temperatures throughout much of the year. In July of 1913, the area was enduring an especially scorching heat wave, as temperatures exceeded 125 F for more than a week straight. By July 10, the temperature peaked at 134 F, a temperature that was measured at a weather observation post at Greenland Ranch. Interestingly enough, the high for the day was just one degree cooler than the thermometer at Greenland Ranch was capable of measuring.

Though Death Valley still holds the distinction it earned on that especially hot day in July of 1913, for much of the 101 years since it was not officiallyrecognized as the record holder thanks to an erroneous report of a 136 F degree day in Libya in 1922. That error, which was blamed on the inexperience of the weather observer and outdated equipment, was eventually corrected by the World Meteorological Organization in 2012. n

Make Summer Sensational Go on a Park Crawl

Make a Splash

Research all of the parks in your town and visit each one. When the activity is over, have each child pick their favorite park so you can visit regularly.

Backyard water games are synonymous with smiles. Enjoy the classic warm weather activities of water balloon fights, squirt gun wars, playing on a slip and slide and, as always, swimming in an outdoor pool. Younger kids will love ice excavating, too. Simply freeze plastic toys in a large bowl and let them chip away at the ice.

Be sure to load up on sunscreen, drinking water and bug spray. Also, make sure you have a map or smartphone handy to help you navigate to the next park.

Make it memorable by taking a picture at each stop. Those treasured moments can be printed and pieced together into a summer scrapbook they’ll cherish for years.

Catch a Cool Movie

by Car Relive the nostalgia and simplicity of seeing a movie at a drive-in theater. Your kids will love the experience of catching a movie under the stars, and because many allow you

to pack your own summertime snacks and beverages, you’ll love the savings. Your family can view a movie that’s just to their liking, with many venues offering blockbuster hits, while some even bring back the big screen classics from your own youth.

Be sure to bring plenty of lawn chairs, pillows, blankets and bug repellent for the whole gang.

Make it memorable with each family member dressed in their favorite 50s or 60s drivein attire, or in a costume that represents the movie. n

How to reduce summer party waste don’t need to use the fine china, opting for plastic plates and cups instead. Such items are dishwasher-friendly, meaning the only extra work hosts have to do is load and unload the dishwasher. * Don’t go overboard with main items. Many hosts know that they are bound to have some leftover hamburgers and hot dogs after everyone goes home for the night. Those leftovers often end up going to waste. Instead of making too many items that can’t be enjoyed as leftovers, hosts can make more salad and pasta that might taste better the day after. In addition, such items can be sent home with guests, whereas guests are unlikely to take home burgers and franks.

Hosts who find themselves with a substantial amount of leftovers should call a nearby food bank or homeless shelter to see if they accept leftovers as donations.

Backyard barbecues and pool parties are staples of summer.

Such festive events with family and friends create memories that last a lifetime. But as enjoyable as such get-togethers can be, many are not terribly eco-friendly, an unfortunate reality that can take a heavy toll on the planet.

Reducing summer party waste is not very difficult.

Eco-conscious hosts can take several steps to reduce the carbon footprint of summer party season. * Serve guests using reusable kitchenware. Though a backyard barbecue may seem like the perfect time to pull out the paper plates and plastic cups, such items are wasteful. Hosts might have to do a little extra work, but serving guests using reusable kitchenware can make any pool party more eco-friendly. Such items can be reused again and again all season long. And hosts

* Organize the menu with friends. Some people feel that party etiquette dictates that guests bring something to the party. While this is a great way to relieve hosts of some of the financial burden of hosting a party, it can also produce waste if guests bring the same items. In the days before the party, hosts should contact their friends and family to make sure everyone is bringing something different.

This reduces the likelihood that food will end up going to waste. * Recycle bottles and cans.

Whether it’s beer, soda or water, beverages served at barbecues and pool parties tend to come in bottles or cans. To ensure a party is more eco-friendly, hosts should designate a garbage can for just bottles and cans, directing guests to discard these items in an eco-friendly way. n

Is a pet right for your family?

Pets often make wonderful additions to a household. Parents not only love pets because animals bring smiles to their children’s faces, but also because pets teach kids about responsibility.

But the decision of whether or not to bring a pet into a home is a complicated one that parents would be wise to give ample

Money is often overlooked when deciding whether or not to bring a pet into a home.But pets can be expensive, and the potential cost of pet ownership must be fully explored. Pet adoption fees are often negligible, but families who prefer a purebred dog can expect to spend considerably more money than they would if they were to adopt a mixed breed dog from the local shelter. In addition, a pedigreed cat is likely to cost more than a cat adopted from the shelter. But those initial fees are only a small part of the expenses associated with pet ownership. Medical costs, including routine veterinary visits and medication, pet insurance, food, and grooming costs can add up over time, so families already working on thin budgets might find it’s not financially prudent to bring a pet into their home until their finances stabilize.

Families who tend to travel a lot also must consider the cost of sheltering the animal when they are out of town, while renters should determine if bringing a pet into a home will incur a higher rental deposit or if the animal is likely to cause damage, as puppies and kittens tend to do, that will ultimately cost them money when they move out of their rental.

Time Some pets require more attention than others, so heads of a family should consider just how much time they have to devote to pet ownership. Dogs tend to need the most attention among the more popular household pets, so families whose schedules are already full may find that pets who don’t need so much attention fit their lifestyle better.

For example, cats don’t need to go for daily walks and tend to be more independent than canines, making them ideal pets for onthe-go families. When deciding if a pet is right for your family, give heavy consideration to how much time your family spends at home, and if you decide to adopt a pet, choose one that won’t be negatively affected by your schedules.

Demeanor When considering bringing a pet into a home, parents should consider both their own demeanor, their kids’ demeanors and the demeanor of the pet they are thinking of adopting. Dogs have their idiosyncrasies, but breeds tend to exhibit similar behaviors.

Labrador retrievers, for example, tend to be active and energetic, while a typical English bulldog might be more laid-back and less prone to running around. Active families who enjoy spending time outdoors might prefer a more active dog, while families who enjoy relaxing at home might want a

dog that’s equally comfortable lounging around the house.

When considering cats, families should speak with a professional, be it a veterinarian or a representative at the local animal shelter, about the demeanors of different breeds to ensure they make the best decision. Parents of young children likely want a cat that’s playful as opposed to one who is likely to be standoffish with curious kids.

Future The future is another thing parents must consider before bringing a pet into their home.

Parents whose careers are stable might make better pet owners than those angling for a reassignment or looking to change careers. An unfortunate side effect of the recession that began in 2008 was that many families were forced to relocate when one or both parents lost their jobs but found opportunities elsewhere. Upon moving, these families realized the family pet could not make the trip, which led to shelters being flooded with homeless pets. If your family’s future is in question, delay adopting or buying a pet until your situation is more stable. If all is well in your career and your family is firmly entrenched in your community, then now might be a great time to bring a pet into your home.n

Caring for an aging dog Caring for a dog is no small task.

Many dogs need daily exercise and interaction with their owners in order to live long and healthy lives. But as dogs age, the responsibility of caring for them can become even more demanding.

When a dog begins to exhibit signs of aging, it’s easy for dog owners to assume that the rigors of caring for the dog will lessen.

But while aging dogs may not need or want to spend as much time playing fetch or walking around the park as they used to, they often grow more dependent on their owners as they grow older. Recognizing a dog’s changing needs and how those needs relate to caring for the dog is a responsibility dog owners must take seriously. * Consider altering the dog’s diet. Many aging dogs do not need as much food to maintain a healthy weight as they did when they were puppies or in the prime of their life. Much of that is because aging dogs don’t exercise as much as they used to, meaning they won’t be burning as many calories as they once did.

So an aging dog that’s still on the same diet it had as a youngster might gain weight, which can lead to a host of uncomfortable or even painful ailments. Owners concerned about their dogs’ diets should consult a veterinarian, who may recommend a geriatric diet that will provide all of the necessary vitamins and nutrients dogs need while reducing their

risk of obesity. * Make sure water is accessible and available throughout the day.

Older dogs are at greater risk of dehydration, so owners should make sure water is readily available for the dog at all times. Aging dogs often struggle with their mobility, so place several water bowls throughout the house so dogs do not have to travel far when they need a beverage.

Keep a bowl in close proximity to where the dog sleeps as well. * Prioritize grooming. Owners of aging dogs must prioritize grooming for a variety of reasons.

Regular grooming is a great way for owners to discover any abnormalities, such as lumps or tumors, on the dog that might be indicative of a medical issue.

Any such abnormalities should immediately be brought to the attention of a veterinarian. Routine grooming also helps prevent cont. on page 50

Stay cool without air conditioning Hot, steamy weather can derail the best intentions of reducing energy consumption. As temperatures soar, few can resist the temptation to crank the air conditioning unit and relax in some frosty comfort. However, relying too heavily on air conditioning can compromise the efforts of men and women hoping to reduce their carbon footprints.

It is estimated that up to 50 percent of electricity used during the warm weather season is for air conditioning. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy says energy consumption for home air conditioning accounts for more than 8 percent of all the electricity produced in the United States, costing homeowners more than $15

billion annually. This translates to roughly 195 million tons of carbon dioxide, an average of almost two tons per year, for homes with air conditioning. Air conditioning costs and energy usage vary widely depending on the type and age of a unit, the size of a home, how well air conditioners are maintained and many other factors.

Air conditioners work similarly to refrigerators. Evaporator and condenser coils either distribute cool air into the home or release hot air outdoors. When an air conditioner is running, a great deal of heat can be expelled outdoors. Air conditioners use pumps known as compressors to transfer heat between these components. Refrigerant fluid is pumped through the tubing and fins surrounding the evaporator and condenser coils. When the fluid reaches the indoor coil, it evaporates, taking heat with it and cooling the air that will be pumped inside. The pump then moves the gaseous refrigerant over to the outdoor coil where it condenses, transferring that heat to the air that will be expelled from the building. Compressors, fans and additional components

of air conditioning systems require a lot of energy and power.

Reducing reliance on air conditioning can lower energy bills and benefit the environment. Before turning on your air conditioning unit this summer, consider these cooling tips. * Keep the blinds and shades drawn. Sunlight entering a home can quickly create a hot-house environment. To prevent such a situation from materializing, draw the curtains or blinds, particularly on windows that are south- or west-facing. This will cut down on the amount of heat that enters the home.

drying out of the coat and skin, ensuring dogs are comfortable. * Don’t overlook dental care.

Dogs are known for bad breath, so while there may not be much owners can do to make their aging dogs’ breath smell like a rose garden, that does not mean pet owners should overlook dental care. Dogs whose teeth are clean and tartar-free are less likely to develop potentially serious medical problems, including heart disease, which can be a byproduct of tooth decay. Dogs may lose some teeth as they age, but owners should still emphasize dental care for their aging best friends. * Lend a hand to dogs who are struggling with their mobility. Ag-

ing dogs suffering from arthritis may struggle to get out of bed or climb flights of stairs. When dogs start to struggle with their mobility, pick them up and carry them up the stairs or help them out of bed in the morning. Veterinarians may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication to ease soreness and pain, but owners can take additional steps to help dogs with mobility issues, such as positioning bedding and food and water bowls so that they are more accessible to dogs.

Dog owners often find it heartbreaking when the aging process starts to take its toll on man’s best friend. But there are several ways owners can make the aging process more comfortable for their dogs. n

Tips for Simple Summer Travel Savings

Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or with the entire family, there are ways to get where you're going and enjoy your time there without spending your life savings. One of the easiest ways to save on summer travel is to take advantage of free websites and mobile apps that do the deal finding for you.

Booking Airfare * Pull the trigger. If you see a great fare, book it. All airlines selling airfare in the U.S. allow you to cancel within 24 hours without any penalties as long as you purchased a ticket at least seven days before the flight. Many airlines also let you hold a fare for a short time for a small fee. * Try metasearch sites. Search for airfare on websites like Hipmunk, BookingBuddy, and SmarterTravel.com, which compare top travel sites to show the best flight or hotel at the cheapest price.

Finding the Perfect Place to Stay * Book hotels last-minute. Hotels often offer special mobile-only rates for last-minute bookers.

For example, Hipmunk's Tonight Deals saves app users up to 60 percent on hotel rates.

52

PULSE pulsepointpress.com July 2014

* Try a vacation rental. Rates can be cheaper than hotels and cooking your own meals

saves on eating out. Airbnb and HomeAway are popular vacation rental websites and you can see their listings alongside traditional hotels when you search through Hipmunk. * Look at reviews. Sentimentbased reviews like Hipmunk's make it faster and easier to see a hotel's strengths and weaknesses without having to read pages of individual reviews.

Every bride and groom will need his and her transportation from home to the wedding ceremony and reception. Although there are several options to get couples to and fro, many choose a limousine or another fancy rental car as the preferred mode of travel.

Initially, seek word-of-mouth recommendations, which can be the best way to narrow down potential limo companies. Ask others which business they used for their special events -- be it weddings, proms, Sweet 16 parties or other important events.

If you work at a company that often relies on hired cars for business meetings or transportation to the airport, you may already be familiar with a reliable service -- and they might be familiar with you.

Not all limousine services are the same. Price should not be your only method of comparison.

Much like a hotel room or a meal at a restaurant, there may be different levels of service among companies. It’s important to compare apples to apples. Figure out a package that will work for you, including size of car, duration

of time and any other special features, such as a stocked bar, and then compare this package among the different limo companies you’re considering.

The right vehicle also can make all the difference -- and may help you narrow down your choices among companies. For instance, a business might not have the model you want or that vehicle isn’t available the day of your wedding. Also, be sure there will be enough room and if there is trunk space for luggage for honeymoon essentials. Check whether there are certain add-ons, such as fuel surcharges or tolls that are not factored into the base price.

Also, some companies include a driver tip in the cost, while others will leave that to your discretion.

Here are some other things to keep in mind. * Book early. Limos, like services from other vendors, will book fast, especially during peak wedding or other seasons. * Consider a package. Most companies have put together a package for special events, like weddings. They may be the best value. n
