THEATER

'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' spook Theatre Three

By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com

“Jekyll and Hyde” opened on Broadway as a musical in 1997 and ran until 2001. The legendary Leslie Bricusse wrote the book for the musical. A current superstar, Linda Eder won the 1997 Theater World award, while the show was nominated for and won a cache of Academy Awards and other honors.

That musical was a far cry from the dark, 19th century staging of the Robert Louis Stevenson 1886 novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Theatre Three is valiantly running “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” through Sunday,

Feb. 11, and audiences are a little jumpy. Rarely has the Norma Young Theatre seen so much murder.

Since that 1997 musical production, there have been countless iterations of the classic story’s staging, presumably all very dark.

According to Kia Nicole Boyer who performs four roles in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” she feels fortunate in this production to have such a variety of tracks to run.

She says, “The relationship between Dr. Jekyll and his butler, Poole, is enjoyable to play because it’s subtle and full of care, which is something I’m usually not asked to play.” Boyer also portrays Edward Hyde #4, surgical student, and police doctor.

The actress adds, “The ‘help’ is usually tossed around as somewhat of a set piece in large productions, but Poole’s affection and concern for Jekyll are showcased very intimately in this script. The actress Poole’s a witness, much like the audience, so it’s sort of fun to

‘watch.’”

The talented triple threat says that this show is like one big work out. “I enter and exit every which way and try to do it all with grace and nuance, the key word being ‘try.’”

The original store was open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., “so it was a more of a ‘stop by after lunch’ place,” Strudwick said. At one time, the current 920-sq.ft. space was an art gallery. Now, most of the space is devoted to a conventional kitchen, with some dedicated display space as you enter the store.

Her background in nutrition has provided a commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients. A recent shortage in vanilla extract has caused other bakers to use imitation vanilla, but Strudwick won’t compromise. “We make everything from scratch.

When entering the restaurant, you focus on the bar in a big way.

Lots of white walls, white banquettes, white bar stools and warm wood punctuated with Central American animal masks in the dining room make for a dramatic yet whimsical setting that is fun and welcoming. The enclosed patio feels like a tree house surrounded by soaring live oaks generously sprinkled with twinkle lights.

Both the bar and patio are intoxicating backgrounds for enjoying a cocktail and Jalisco Norte is equally serious about its bar. The emphasis is on tequila, mezcal, sotol and bacanora, all agave spirits.

Beverage director Trevor Landry and bar manager Ravinder Singh create cocktails such as the Holy Smoke featuring Banhez mezcal, dry curacao, triple citrus, agave, liquid smoke and hickory smoked salt; and the Desert Scorpion with Banhez mezcal, Licor 43, Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao, grapefruit bitters, and Cholula hot sauce. The bar also offers Mexican and domestic beers as well as sangrita.

Jalisco Norte opens a serious world of chef-driven Mexico cuisine.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Phantom Thread’ not mainstream, just magical

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

There has not and probably will never be a Paul Thomas Anderson movie that mainstream moviegoers will embrace.

From raining frogs to pudding cups, they are loaded with oddities, eccentrics and just overall weirdness. His latest, “Phantom Thread,” is no different, but Anderson’s take on romance is easily his most accessible movie to date and, according to him, it will be (allegedly) the final movie in the acting career of Daniel Day-Lewis (see page one).

No matter what the genre description reads or what some critics may tell you, “Phantom Thread” is Anderson’s take on romantic comedy. Of course, there’s no pratfalls or cutesy, goofball best friends in Anderson’s world. This world is comprised of flawed people with loose grips on their lives who just happen to excel in passive aggressive snark.

Lewis plays Reynolds Woodcock, a dressmaker for the rich and famous in 1950s London whose

charming public persona hides his private obsessive-compulsive-like behaviors. Every step of his life, both personal and business, is seemingly managed by his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville). Initially, their relationship seems quite bizarre, but the more time spent with Reynolds lessens the weirdness of it.

When visiting his countryside manor, Reynolds meets a waitress named Alma (Vicky Krieps) and the two are immediately smitten. For a confirmed bachelor who may be an expert womanizer, Reynolds treats their growing relationship with such high levels of respect and care that it continually raises the romantic tension to almost unbearable levels.

“Phantom Thread” becomes a sneaky, darkly funny power struggle between Reynolds and Alma about who has the upper hand in their relationship with Cyril as the referee.

There are some scenes so brilliantly written and acted that one can only imagine Anderson sitting off camera barely able to contain his laughter. Now, it’s not exactly laugh out

loud-type stuff here, but it’s funny nonetheless.

There’s never a scene without Lewis, Manville or Krieps and each of them are absolutely perfect in their roles. Manville may be having the most fun as she’s the only character allowed to snipe back at Reynolds from the very first scene. She plays Cyril as someone who knows she’s in charge, meticulously handling every business detail for her brother while also maintaining a constant air of calm.

Krieps is a relative unknown and she goes toeto-toe with Lewis in several scenes, which she handles as if she’s been asked to do so for years. There’s a load of shocking manipulation built into her character, but since it’s all due to love, that makes it seem okay.

“Phantom Thread” has the rare performance from Daniel Day-Lewis where he is completely vulnerable. His cockiness hides an extremely insecure and unsure person screaming out for help. The normally bombastic Lewis is very reserved and even his insults seem politely doled out. If this is his last performance,

it’s pleasantly subtle and he never goes full “drink your milkshake.”

One could argue that the main character in “Phantom Thread” is Jonny Greenwood’s gorgeous score. It’s an omnipresent score that only stops during key moments that require silence. At times, the music so matches the moment that only the most downtrodden people won’t feel their heart racing.

“Phantom Thread” may not be Paul Thomas Anderson’s best movie, but it is definitely his most comforting. If you removed all of the brilliant quirks and out of left field plot developments, it would be a typical romantic period piece.

Anderson has flipped this normally boring genre by crafting characters with depth and using plot devices that would never be on the radar for many filmmakers.

Unlike the squirm-worthy, ugly worlds on display in some of Anderson’s previous work, “Phantom Thread” will undoubtedly age well and only get better with each viewing.

UPTOWN GIRL

Bar crawling in comfortable clothing

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com Do you ever wish you could go out, but really just can’t find the energy to change into those uncomfortable going out clothes, the ankle-breaking heels, all-tootight pants and jackets that never provide you with the warmth you really want? Well, don’t worry, because it’s finally here — a bar crawl that everyone can enjoy.

This Saturday, Jan. 27 from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Stoli will present their monthly bar crawl in a whole new fashion, and you can prepare to go out on the town in your most comfortable attire yet: the onesie! Deep Ellum is hosting a one-of-a-kind event that will allow you to literally jump out of bed and head to the bars. The 2018 Dallas Onesie Bar Crawl will take over multiple venues this Saturday night, where comfy party-goes will be bouncing from bar to venue and back again without a worry in the world of rubbing blisters on their feet along the way.

The bars crawls will last through the night at five of Deep Ellum’s hotstpots. Start your night at The Nines or the Armoury, and make sure to hit The Green Room before you wander over to Backyard and prepare to end your night at Bottled Blonde, where Saturday nights are already known to blow the roof off.

Along with drinks, dancing and music galore, there will also be a onesie contest where winners will have the opportunity to win amazing cash prizes! Beware though, in the past there have been some pretty creative winners — ­ unicorns, bananas, Chewbacca onesies and more. All participants will also have access to drink specials brought to you by Stoli, receive free cover at all participating bars and a free drink or shot at the check-in locations.

Interested guests can purchase presale tickets online through their Facebook page for $20-25, but if those run out (which they will!), you can also find tickets on eventbrite.com for $40.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Short ribs big on flavor

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Braised short ribs aren’t often found on a typical Mexican restaurant menu. Jalisco Norte isn’t typical. The new Turtle Creek Village restaurant is a finely tuned mashup of Mexico cuisine and chef Jose Meza Arróyave’s imagination with a nod to locals’ congenital demands for Tex-Mex conventions such as chips and salsa.

This is an adaptation of his signature recipe for braised beef short ribs. Allow about 1 1/2 servings per pound of bone-in short ribs.

JALISCO NORTE BIRRIA DES RES 4 pounds short ribs Salt and pepper to taste 1 pound tomatoes, cut into quarters 1 large onion, cut into quarters 5 cloves garlic, peeled Olive or other vegetable oil 3 guajillo chiles, rinsed and seeded 2 pasilla chiles, rinsed and seeded 2 ancho chiles, rinsed and seeded 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon ground cumin or to taste 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste 2 to 3 cups beef broth, or as needed Heat oven to 400 F. Rinse short ribs and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Line a sheet pan with foil.

Lightly coat with vegetable spray.

Arrange tomatoes, onion and garlic cloves in a single layer on baking sheet. Sprinkle vegetables lightly with olive oil. Roast vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove from oven and cool.

Heat oven broiler.

Rinse the dried chiles and pat dry. Slit each with a knife and scrape out seeds. Arrange chiles in a single layer in a large, heavy skillet or roasting pan. Place under broiler and toast until skins are brown. Turn to brown on all sides.

Remove from oven and cool.

In a large deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add just enough oil to cover the bottom.

When pan is hot and oil swirls, add short ribs and brown on all sides, cooking 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Brown in batches if necessary.

Return all short ribs to the pot.

Add roasted vegetables, toasted chiles, bay leaves, cumin and pepper. Pour over enough broth to cover.

Heat oven to 220 F. Cover the pot tightly with foil; place lid on top of foil. Place in oven for about 6 hours or until meat is very tender.

Using a slotted spoon, remove meat from liquid. Strain the liquid and discard solids. Serve with short ribs.

Makes 6 servings.

HAMMER AND NAILS

No heavy lifting building a home gym

By Stephan Sardone

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

By Candy Evans

candace@candysdirt.com Luxury home building is an art — especially in Dallas. We set the bar pretty darned high.

And our bar at CandysDirt.com Candace Evans is very high, so high you have to belly up your best. And no pun intended on “bar” and “Candy.” We just worship house porn every day.

So when this modern Spanish Revival at 5326 Edlen Drive popped up, I knew you’d want to see it — again. We featured it in July shortly after it was completed. But, since then there have been a few changes, not the least of which is stunning staging by Look Interiors.

This modern Spanish Revival is a spec home, finished in 2017, and the result of some of Dallas’ most creative and sought-after talents. Architect Lloyd Lumpkins, builder Randy Hughes and landscape architect Harold Leidner worked together to create 13,119 square feet of luxury living on an acre of gated land in the heart of Preston Hollow.

“I’m basically designing a house like this for me,” Lumpkins said. “Of course I’m also bearing in mind what other people would like. I wanted to do a more modern home in a classical form, so I chose a modern Spanish Revival style.”

The successful blend of classic and modern styles is apparent from the moment you drive up to the home. “My favorite thing about that house is the front elevation,” said Dave Perry-Miller listing agent Ryan Streiff. “The approach is so pretty, and the house is sited on the lot perfectly. It’s set back to where it has that estate feeling.”

“When I’m designing, I try to think through the public-to-private attitude,” Lumpkins said. “I zone the house so you can let people in just so far, or a bit further. The gallery here serves this purpose. It brings all the different zones together, yet allows you to close off the private master wing.”

Lumpkins designed all of the rooms with generous proportions, but they do not feel overly large, and the spaces are very flexible. He placed the formal living room in an unexpected spot, just beyond the long gallery hallway in the heart of the house.

The home boasts a chef ’s kitchen, a catering kitchen, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, three powder baths, five fireplaces, a library, a game room, a media room and enough garage space to suit a car

You have been thinking about it for too long. Or, at least since New Year’s Day …

10 years ago.

The biggest gift you Stephan Sardone may have gotten during the holidays is a little extra around the belt. It is not too late to fix that.

Your New Year’s resolution is not totally shot. Now is the time to build your own home gym. It is easy, keeps you inside during bad weather and probably can play a big part in de-cluttering the house.

Chances are you have a treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical stair machine already somewhere in the house. But next to the bed or collecting dust in the garage is no place for it. Find a space that you can use that is away from typical traffic in the home and can provide you with some privacy.

Ideally you have a spare room where you can set up your gym. An unused bedroom, home office or even an area on the patio that can be enclosed makes for workable space.

If you have a large garage and only need some of it, you can designate an area that becomes a nice workout area. Wherever you decide, your first priority should be a well-ventilated area.

Make sure that you are near windows, or at the very least the area has a ceiling fan. Adding houseplants like ferns or bamboo palms brighten up the area and aid in air purification. You don’t want people walking into the house knowing that you have a home gym.

“Lysol, anyone?”

If windows are not feasible, invest in additional lighting to make the area bright, but not overbearing.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

THEATER cont'd from page 1

True crime shows are all the rage

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net Television used to pride itself — or at least pretend it did — on being an “escapist medium” where viewers could park their brains in neutral and succumb to the likes of . . .

Well, the list used to go on and on.

Ed Bark “Betwitched,” “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Gilligan’s Island,” “Dallas,” “Dynasty,” “Touched By An Angel,” “Full House,” “Happy Days,” “Three’s Company,” even “Murder, She Wrote” and the benign detective work of Angela Lansbury’s grandmotherly Jessica Fletcher.

Not that TV was “better” then. It wasn’t. But with so many choices now available, via the old-line broadcast networks, cable channels and streamers such as Netflix, today’s audiences have shown a voracious appetite for one seemingly foolproof genre — “true crime.”

In that vein, I was struck by this recent emailed publicity release from Sundance TV. You know, the once “arty” network launched by Robert Redford in 1996 before he sold his interest 12 years later. The headline for the network’s latest programming announcements goes like this: “Sundance TV Continues Its Exploration of True Crime By Partnering With Award-Winning Talent And Greenlighting Three New Docuseries.”

One of the rebranded Sundance’s new partners is Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s the principal executive producer of “The Road to Jonestown.” It’s yet another dissection of cultist James Jones and his “transformation from charismatic preacher and champion of civil rights into an egomaniacal demagogue who led the biggest mass suicide in American history.”

Sundance also announced go-aheads for “Ministry of Evil: The Twisted Cult of Tony Alamo” and “The Preppie Murder,” which will re-tell the story of how and why Jennifer Levin was killed in Central Park, circa 1986.

The network is diving into the genre because “our smart and thoughtful explorations of true crime have been enormously popular with viewers,” programming head Jan Diedrichsen says in the release. She cites “Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders” and the network’s reprise of “The Staircase” (about accused wife murderer Michael Peterson) as previous success stories.

The fledgling new Paramount network this week began its six-part “Waco,” which stars Taylor Kitsch from NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” as cult leader David Koresh. He went up in flames, along with more than 70 of his followers, after a 51-day standoff. Oily Harvey Weinstein originally bankrolled it, but his name has since been excised from the credits. In December of last year, ABC proudly presented the two-hour documentary, “Truth and Lies: Waco,” on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.

Meanwhile, FX is in the early stages of its second “American Crime Story” miniseries, which traces the killings

favorite athletes. If you have some sports memorabilia, your home gym is a perfect place to display your acquisitions.

Next, it is time to optimize the space. Everyone has a spare TV, VCR/DVD player and stereo lying around. Mount them on a wall or add to shelves and position them in a way where they can be seen from all points of stationary equipment.

Riding a bike and never getting anywhere or walking up a staircase to nowhere can get tedious.

Your workout goes so much faster watching TV or listening to music.

Also, some people still like to watch workout or yoga videos, so make sure that there is a space clear to lay down a colorful mat in front of the TV. In today’s modern world, you may just want to use a tablet for all of your multimedia needs. But some people can become lightheaded when working out and dropping one of those fragile tablets is not worth the risk.

As far as the walls, I like white walls that are accented with color.

An easy way to accent is to buy an affordable dumbbell set that is multicolored. Position them near a full length mirror. No need to face the TV when pumping iron. You should face the mirror and concentrate on proper technique. The dumbbells add color, as does a rolled-up yoga mat. Depending on the flooring, you will want to lay down a protective surface below stationary equipment to protect carpeting or tile which can add color as well.

Remember, you can go old school. Keep a jump rope handy.

Have some foam rollers at hand.

They are inexpensive, colorful and versatile.

Building a home gym is easy and pays dividends in the future.

And you don’t have to do much heavy lifting.

of famed designer Gianni Versace and four other victims by Andrew Cunanan (played chillingly by former “Glee” star Darren Criss). The first “ACS” entry, on the O. J. Simpson trial, was 2016’s most awarded miniseries. ESPN also received critical acclaim for its almost simultaneous documentary series on Simpson.

Last fall, NBC branched out with “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders,” which starred multi-Emmy award winner Edie Falco as their defense attorney, Leslie Abramson. ABC again struck first with its “Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers — American Sons” documentary before Lifetime hit the ground in June of last year with the scripted movie “Menendez: Blood Brothers.” Shortly after that, the Discovery Channel offered “Manhunter: Unabomber,” which co-starred Jane Lynch as former U.S. Attorney-General Janet Reno.

I’ve barely scratched the surface of a genre in which HBO scored with “The Jinx” before Netflix made an equally big splash with the docuseries “Making of a Murderer.”

Some of these productions have been riveting, others purely exploitative. But whatever the case or quality, true crime currently is the bloodstained gift that keeps on giving.

RANDOM NIBBLE The NFL’s ratings have been on a season-long decline, and it’s doubtful that the league’s climactic act, Super Bowl LII, will change that.

Still, the Peacock is getting a solid matchup in the Darth Vaders, also known as the New England Patriots, versus the Philadelphia Eagles, who have yet to win a Super Bowl.

The Patriots’ Tom Brady obviously is a Hall of Fame shoe-in while Eagles QB Nick Foles is in no danger of that honor. It made me wonder, though. When is the last time that two sure-fire or eventual HOFers started for their teams? I don’t think Russell Wilson is quite there yet. He went against Brady in 2015 and Peyton Manning in 2014. So in this view, it hasn’t been since 2011, when the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger squared off in Jerry World.

Other super-duper primo quarterback matchups: • Drew Brees vs. Peyton Manning in 2010 • John Elway vs. Brett Favre in 1998 • Troy Aikman vs. Jim Kelly in 1993, ’94 and ’96 • Joe Montana vs. Elway in 1990 • Montana vs. Dan Marino in 1985 • Roger Staubach vs. Terry Bradshaw in 1979 • Kenny Stabler vs. Fran Tarkenton in 1977 • Staubach vs. Bradshaw in 1976 • Bradshaw vs Tarkenton in 1975 • Bob Griese vs. Tarkenton in 1974 • Staubach vs. Griese in 1972 • Bart Starr vs. Lenny Dawson in 1967 • And for the all-time journeyman Super Bowl QB matchup, I’ll take Trent Dilfer vs. Kerry Collins in 2001.

Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unclebarky.com, is a past member of the national Peabody awards board.

In a diverse role, Boyer appeared in WaterTower Theatre’s “Sweet Charity” and she may have been typecast in her role of Nikki. She shook up some memorable production numbers.

Boyer said she enjoys doing serious plays as well as musical theater. “Theater, in general is whimsical and romantic and I love being a part of telling stories.”

As Edward #3, Dr. Lanyon, Police Doctor and Surgical Student, Cameron Cobb’s timing is impeccable, as is Robert Gemaehlich’ Edward Hyde #2, Sir Danvers Carew and others.

The ensemble cast works well together, and opening night’s audience embraced it. “Given, executing pirouettes is quite far from executing soliloquies, but I assure you, the amount of sweat is the same,” Boyer said.

This brand of theater is an acquired taste. It moves slowly, but speeds up when characters dash in and out of doors and up and down the aisles.

“Jekyll and Hyde” continues through Sunday, Feb. 11 at Theatre Three. For tickets and information, visit theatre3dallas.com.

Hawaii's Big Island visit close to stars

By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com There is only one place on Earth that I know where you can have a snowball fight one minute and be snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean an hour later. Any guess where this is?

We’re at the top of Mount Mauna Kea, one of the five volcanoes that make Hawaii’s Big Island. A science city has been built on top of the mountain with some of the best telescopes in the world taking advantage of near perfect air quality and temperature levels for astronomy. Among the institutions/countries with scientists at work in observatories on top of Mauna Kea are CalTech, the Smithsonian, NASA, Canada, France, United Kingdom, University of Hawaii and Subaru.

I was disappointed recently in my attempt to see the skies through one of these telescopes.

After driving about 90 minutes from my Airbnb in the nearby city of Kona (home of Kona coffee), a guard and barrier blocked the final stretch of road due to black ice. I could have walked, but I didn’t have the right gear.

You’ll find snow here throughout the year, despite being in tropical Hawaii, and the road isn’t always open except for essential scientists. You can see the housing for scientists from the visitor center, the furthest point in the road that is not closed. And you can observe the conditions at the summit through one of the many webcams that run continuously up top. You can call ahead for road conditions to

808-935-6368. Bring a jacket. As you ascend, the temperatures plunge.

Rangers patrol 365 days a year. The visitor information center is located at 9,200 feet.

Even if the final stretch of road is closed, nice hiking is still available from this point as is the experience of fresh mountain air. Hiking boots are recommended.

Even though the road may be closed to vehicular traffic, an eight-mile trail to the summit is never closed to hikers.

Once on the mountain, cellular phone use is prohibited except for emergencies. So prepare for other communication means in emergencies. Do you know how to do smoke signals?

In addition to a beautiful place to visit, the mountain is a spiritual place of significance to native Hawaiians. Cultural alters, some in the form of man-made rock pilings, are protected by law.

Information exists that the road to the summit is only passable with a four-wheel vehicle. This is not true. An ordinary car can pass, but it may not be a good idea. Ascending isn’t the problem. You can damage your car’s brakes coming down unless you properly downshift during descent. Off-road vehicles are prohibited. An emergency road exists for trucks that lose their brakes, ascending to slow them down.

Although it’s neat to think you can experience the beach and snow so close in time, SCUBA diving within 24 hours of ascending

the mountain is dangerous. The top of the mountain is very dry requiring plenty of water to avoid dehydration. The body water replenish rate is two cups per hour.

Rangers warn against ascending if you are under 16 years old, pregnant, have any heart or respiratory condition, or are intoxicated.

Altitude sickness may occur due to the drop in atmospheric pressure and decreased oxygen at higher altitudes. Two worst case medical conditions that may result are pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. Adhere to medical advice and let your body acclimate at least 30 minutes at the visitor center before ascending.

Rangers warn that you should immediately descend if you experience thirst, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, impaired judgment, fatigue, drowsiness, loss of balance or loss of muscle coordination (such as tripping while hiking). More serious medical conditions can manifest themselves in vomiting, blue lips and/or fingernails, confusion or coma.

Remember sun screen, sunglasses and a hat. At this altitude the solar radiation is harmful.

All travel here is at your own risk; no nearby medical facilities exist.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to present many opportunities for individuals to cross the line — either for good or ill, depending on one's overall intentions. A close familiarity with the rules will figure prominently in the affairs of most. Everyone will have to negotiate with those in charge at some point, as he or she jockeys for position and attempts to reap the greatest possible gains from the prevailing circumstances.

Ultimately, the decision to do good may not lie with those taking any given action; the decision is likely to have been made already — or will be made sometime thereafter — by the individuals most deeply involved. This week, no one wants to find him or herself merely reacting to what happens; everyone wants to be taking charge in some way — and that requires a clear knowledge of what's going on.

Personal decisions of all kinds are made daily this week, but those that matter most are not likely to be made alone. Indeed, those who welcome input and assistance are almost sure to enjoy greater progress in the personal arena. However, all will want to make clear that one's autonomy is, ultimately, not for sale or trade.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Someone is likely to make a suggestion early in the week that seems to affect everything you do in ways that you may not be able to foresee.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — You can strike a bargain with someone, provided he or she understands just what your working relationship will be. Put things in black and white.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Something of which you only had a passing knowledge is likely to hit close to home this week. You'll want to make certain on-the-spot adjustments. (March 6-March 20) — You may find yourself playing a game this week that becomes much more serious as the days pass. You may struggle to understand that which is unspoken.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You must guard against falling prey to someone whose motives are not as pure as your own. A complication may actually save you in the end. (April 5-April 19) — You may suspect that the same person is responsible for more than one personal affront — but is this something you really want to deal with this week?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You don't want your own efforts to clash in any way with the efforts of someone who has more "public support." Steer clear of competition. (May 6-May 20) — You risk running out of steam if you start too quickly and fail to take certain precautions beforehand. Trust your usual approach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You and a team of equal minds can solve a tricky puzzle this week, and you're likely to benefit more than anyone else. A celebration is in order. (June 7-June 20) — You're

cookie.” She has even developed a cookie for new moms — a lactation cookie — that is high in protein and contains healthy fats.

Among the flavors that Great One Cookie Company offers everyday are chocolate chip, chocolate chip pecan, lemon drop, oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, sugar and white chocolate macadamia nut. There is a specialty cookie of the month. For January, it is strawberry champagne.

Individual cookies are $2.50 or $28 by the dozen.

Strudwick (above right) delivers to Dallas addresses and ships nationwide. They provide cookies for weddings as guest favors. In the spring and summer, they add ice cream to the retail experience and sell an ice cream cookie.

“I am always thinking about every cookie being excellent, that it is perfect. I feel we use the best ingredients,” Strudwick said. Always experimenting, Strudwick envisions developing a hangover cookie.

Based on the love of her dog, Daphne, and the store’s location close to the Katy Trail, Strudwick is considering creating a dog treat.

“We are trying to develop some cool stuff, some really unique stuff,” Strudwick said. “We just don’t want to make a typical chocolate chip cookie.”

going to want to plan for the unexpected this week in order to avoid a setback. A friend is seeking more than help, and you can offer understanding.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may be challenged by someone who is confident that he or she can beat you at your game — but you are even more confident than usual. (July 8-July 22) — You don't want to make public something that has been working for you quite well in private. That may not be possible, however, beyond this complicated week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may have to take it much slower than usual this week, thanks to a few environmental influences that are likely to be felt. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) — You're eager to see things come to fruition, and yet you're not quite sure what the next steps to take really are. It's time to follow the leader.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Success this week is going to require more than simple good wishes; it's going to require some hard work and a good deal of cooperation, too. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) — As you take over a few responsibilities from someone else, you can surely bring your style to the proceedings as you raise the bar.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You'll want to get your most

Copyright 2017 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. difficult tasks completed as soon as possible each day this week; don't let anything hang over you.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) — You're waiting for some changes to take place, but you're forgetting that you may have to be the one to determine what they are and how they happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may get to experience something quite new this week, but be prepared to be affected in ways that are wholly unfamiliar to you.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) — You may have to endure some travel slowdowns as a result of a confluence of forces that cannot be avoided. You'll reach your destination eventually!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You're ready to take a certain risk with a loved one who is eager to see if you can make a difficult proposition pay off this week. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) — You may have grown tired of the usual hype, so why not simply go about your business without plugging into your usual sources of information?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may be tempted to look back at what you did this time last year — but that would be a kind of cheating. Move steadily forward!

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) — You'll have the chance to catch up with an old friend this week — and this is something you should certainly do if you wish to get past unspoken tensions.
