AROUND RIM COUNTRY

STAR AND MOON VIEWING PARTIES AT HOMOLOVI Star parties are planned at Homolovi State Park on June 24 and July 8. View the stars and skies through large telescopes at the Homolovi State Park Visitor Center-Museum on Friday, June 24 and again on Friday, July 8 starting at 6 p.m. Set your eyes on spectacular views of star clusters, the moon’s cratered landscapes and maybe even a glimpse of a nearby planet. Bring a chair, red illumination flashlight, refreshments, and bug repellent. Picnic facilities and grills are also available at the museum. Make it a weekend adventure and reserve a camping or RV spot. Locations with full hookups are still available. Admission is the $7 per vehicle park entrance fee. Homolovi State Park is located five miles northeast of the city of Winslow. Take I-40 through Winslow then drive north on Highway 87. ABOUT HOMOLOVI STATE PARK

Homolovi was a crossroads of trade during pre-Columbian times. As a result of this trading, many types of pottery are found at Homolovi. In the high grassland of 14th century northern Arizona, an ancient people found a home along the Little Colorado River. These people, the Hisat’sinom (known to archaeologists as the Anasazi), paused in their migrations to till the rich flood plain and sandy slopes before continuing north to join people already living on the mesas, people who are today known as the Hopi. The Hopi people of today still consider Homolovi, as well as other pre-Columbian sites in the Southwest, to be part of their homeland. They continue to make pilgrimages to these sites, renewing the ties of the people with the land. The years have brought many changes to Homolovi. The migrations ended when the people settled at the center of the world, the Hopi Mesas north of Homolovi. However, as new people appeared, the Hopi watched as their homeland was occupied by the new people, who began destroying their ancient homes, digging for curios and for items to sell. In an effort to protect some of these sites, the Hopi people supported the idea of Homolovi State Park. This idea resulted in the establishment of the park in 1986 and the opening of the park in 1993.

RIM COUNTRY GARDENING GUIDE

EDIBLE FLOWERS: GRAZING WITH STYLE BY CATHY HICKEN HIGH COUNTRY GARDEN CLUB

This article is a special request from the editor, whom I happened to meet at the Payson Farmers Market. Even if you don’t have a vegetable garden, you may have some salad garnishes in a flowerpot. My first encounter with edible blossoms happened several years ago while on a girls road trip with six friends. We made reservations at this wonderful restaurant and arrived starving. Our first course was a salad that looked like a work of art. It had multicolored petals in it and a big yellow and purple pansy on top. One of my friends was so hungry that she dove right in and ate the pansy without noticing it! Of course we all shrieked and the poor girl was embarrassed and we all wondered if we were supposed to eat the flowers or were they window dressing? Since that time I have been fascinated with the whole idea of edible flowers. They add such eye appeal and taste good too. I try to incorporate some in salads and pastas. The culinary tradition of using flowers goes back several thousand years to the Chinese, Greeks and Romans. Many cultures today use flowers in their traditional cooking. It’s a good way to add color, flavor and a little whimsy. The range of flavors can be amazing. They run the gamut of spicy, herbaceous, to floral and fragrant. Some flowers are high in nutrition as well. Roses, for instance, are high in vitamin C; marigolds and nasturtiums also contain vitamin C; and dandelions contain vitamins C and A. Any flower that isn’t poisonous or that doesn’t cause a negative reaction is considered edible. However, that doesn’t mean they taste good! Before you go grazing through your flower garden or window box there are a few things you might want to consider. • Be sure to positively identify a flower before eating it. A good reference book on plants is helpful. • Don’t eat flowers if you have asthma, allergies or hay fever. People with allergies may want to introduce them gradually. Composite flowers like carnations and mums are highly allergenic because of their pollen. • Only eat flowers that have been organically grown and are pesticide free. • Collect flowers in the early part of the day or late afternoon. • Choose flowers that are at their peak, avoid those that are not fully open or are starting to wilt. • Do not eat roadside flowers or any picked in public parks. • Eat only the petals, and remove pistils and stamens before eating. Some flowers to avoid are crocus, daffodils, foxglove, oleander, rhododendron, lily of the valley and wisteria. Now with those guidelines, let’s see what’s in your flower garden that might end up on your dinner table. We already know that pansies (violas) are good with their slightly minty taste, and rose petals are perfumed and the darker the color the more pronounced the flavor. All blossoms of the Allium family are edible and flavor-

ful. These include leeks, garlic, chives and onions. Garlic flowers add a wonderful touch to salads and pastas. Anise hyssop flowers and leaves are edible and have a mild licorice flavor. Arugula blossoms are small and have a peppery flavor much like the leaves. These flowers can be white, yellow or yellow with purple streaks. Bachelor buttons have a grassy flavor, but avoid the green calyxes behind the petals. It’s very bitter. Basil flowers come in a variety of colors. Their taste is similar to the leaves, but milder. Flowers from the Bee Balm have a minty flavor. Most herb flowers have a taste similar to their leaves only milder. Calendula/marigolds are a great one to eat. Calendula blossoms are peppery, tangy and spicy and their golden color adds a dash of color to a salad. Carnation petals are sweet once they are trimmed away from the base. Additionally they have a lovely scent. Citrus blossoms are sweet and highly fragrant. Use frugally as they can overwhelm what you are eating. Clovers have

a sweet taste with a hint of licorice. Tangy fuchsia flowers make beautiful garnishes. Gladiolas are pretty bland, but they can be stuffed with cream cheese or their petals can be removed for an interesting garnish. Nasturtiums are one of the most popular edible flowers. Their blossoms are brilliantly colored with a sweet, floral and slightly peppery finish. Their seedpods are also a delicious marvel of sweet and spicy. You can stuff the flowers, add leaves to salads and pickle the buds like capers. For a more showy presentation the blossoms of squash, pumpkins and day lilies are wonderful vehicles for stuffing, each one having a slight squash flavor. Remember to remove the stamens before using. Lightly bread them and fry them in olive oil. Another surprising flower to eat is the sunflower. The petals are bland and the buds can be steamed like an artichoke. I haven’t tried that one yet. Dried blossoms are also an excellent addition to cooking. Add a quarter cup of dried lavender flowers to a shortbread

recipe or a vanilla cake mix and it becomes something very special. You can also candy flowers for use as decorations on cakes and cupcakes. Whisk egg whites lightly and using a soft brush to paint a fine layer onto clean dry pesticide free flowers or petals. Very gently place into superfine sugar and sprinkle some of the sugar on top. Shake off the excess and lay out on wax paper to dry for at least eight hours. The flowers I have listed here are the most common ones found in home gardens, but it is in no way all of the varieties that can be eaten. If you would like to know more, Google edible flowers and a whole catalog of ideas and recipes await you. When you are considering your garden plan, why not add a few edibles just for the fun of it. Even if you don’t eat them they will be a feast for the eyes. Please join the High Country Garden Club every first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Mount Cross Lutheran Church log building.

SONG OF THE ANCIENTS BY SANDY WRIGHT REVIEWED BY ANDY MCKINNEY

Sedona, Ariz. has a reputation far and wide as a place where mysterious, otherworldly things congregate. There are spiritual vortexes scattered across the spectacular landscape. Odd folk with strange beliefs abound. Sandy Wright places her characters in this mystical place. It does make sense to do so. Her characters are witches with a couple of Native American shamans thrown in for seasoning. Newly divorced Samantha Danroe flees her broken heart, her broken marriage and her home in the Midwest and arrives in the gloriously beautiful town of Sedona where she quickly finds a vintage fashion store for sale at a price that can’t be beat. She begins

an orphanage, and her troubled life has been much publicized. Considering her struggles with depression, anxiety and addiction, it should not be surprising that Monroe’s will named the Anna Freud Center, a mental-health research, training and treatment center dedicated to helping children, as a beneficiary. • A global survey of people’s vacuuming habits finds that more than 60 percent of vacuumers in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Chile listen to music while performing that chore — more than anywhere else in the world. Only a third of Americans listen to music, though; according to the survey, the favorite pastime of vacuumers in the United States is just to think about vacuuming.

After all, she is divorced, not dead. But she might well achieve that second state. Samantha finds herself caught up in things beyond her knowledge, indeed beyond her imagination. In a whirlwind of a tale, Sam and her friends struggle to find a way to keep some idiot magic mis-users from bringing an actual Demon to the human plane — a world-devouring event. Wright tells her paranormal suspense story with vigor and craft. Samantha and the other characters are strongly and realistically drawn. We can understand and relate to them. We care when they get tangled in events and emotions that seem too powerful to cope with. We like them.

needed sleep. “... I turned off the lights and headed to Bella’s bedroom, shining the flashlight on the stairs for the cats to chase on the way up.” Can’t you just see Samantha and the cats? I call that good writing. I missed a favorite TV show to finish reading the last 50 pages. I had to see how it turned out. We readers learn a lot about Indian mythology and the practice of the Wiccan religion while enjoying the story. Wright has won several awards for this book. In her non-writing life author Wright serves her Wiccan congregation as High Priestess, which gives her tale a certain authenticity. Wright will be attending the Payson Book Festival. Her work can be found on Amazon. BURNING SKY BY R.S. SCOTT REVIEWED BY ANDY MCKINNEY

R. S. Scott, himself a Navajo, born and raised on the huge Navajo Reservation, brings an authentic voice to his story of a tribal policeman serving his people. He also brings an authentic voice to Navajo mysticism and dark magic. Readers feel an authentic thrill of real fear as we ask ourselves, “Can this be true. Can this be real?” Jeepers — this is scary stuff! Scott takes his time, too. He introduces his leading characters first as young teenagers on the Rez. By the time the kids have grown up, we know enough about them to sympathize with them and to care enough about them to have a concern for their lives and their souls. We need to be concerned. The Navajo Nation spreads its wings over a wide swath of territory in parts of four states around the Four Corners area. It holds some 60,000 people. It also holds plenty of different clans, something outsiders do not have an appreciation of. In the story, some of these clans have used dark magic for hundreds or even thousands of years. Young policeman Steve Keller tries to sort through the people and clans who may have a hand in the mysterious deaths of tribal elders. But soon the pace of death and the scope of the slain picks up. Scott has no literary parallel in his depiction of little known lore of the deepest Navajo magic, myth and religion. Readers from the larger American tradition find a window into a culture of such strangeness that it might well exist in another country entirely. Wait, the Navajo Nation actually is, in some legal sense, another country entirely — and also in America at the same time.

Scott writes with a vigor and power that readers will find admirable and enjoyable. He has a strong story to tell. He tells that story without frills to interfere with the tale. Each chapter seems to lead us pell-mell into the next at break-neck speed. “Burning Sky” is more than a page-turner; it is a page burner; a page eater. I read the last 100 pages of the goodsized, 359-page novel at a single sitting. I and his other readers want more of Scott’s work. Please. Scott lives in Phoenix, but he will be attending the Payson Book Festival in July. We can buy his book on Amazon.com. FALLEN EAGLE: ALASKA FRONT BY JOHN J. RUST REVIEWED BY ANDY MCKINNEY

I hold myself among fans of military fiction and techno-thrillers. “Fallen Eagle: Alaska Front” rests solidly in the military fiction zone with enough techno to leaven the rest of the story. In this near future fantasy a charismatic United Nations secretary general has mobilized forces under U.N. control and world opinion to finally, from his viewpoint, neutralize U.S. imperialism once and for all. He seems to have the resources to do it, too. He controls the Directorate of Peace Enforcement, his own U.N. armed forces. When combined with the Friends of Peace, fanatic and misguided fellow travelers in the U.S., he has the force to take the U.S.A. down for good and all. Lt. Col. Ruud and his squad take leave in Alaska just before the balloon goes up. The president, an Alaskan, also takes her vacation in Alaska at her cabin on the banks of the salmon-filled Keani River. Describing combat situations rates among the more difficult tasks for an author. The events are fast moving and very complicated. Most authors have great difficulty in bringing a coherent and understandable picture of the action to the reader. Not so Rust. His combat scenes between the patriots and the invaders and their Quisling lackeys comes into bright, clear focus. We can tell which actors do what and where. He puts a lot of that in the book. He also puts a lot of motivational information for the contending forces. The rhetoric from the U.N. secretary general will sound familiar to anyone who listens to the spokesmen for Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street or similar outfits. This sort of demagoguery works to convince large numbers of people. On the other side, he supplies his patriots not with high-minded quotes from Tom Jefferson or Tom Paine, but the visceral vocab-

ulary of the locker room and the squad bay. The soldiers and patriots in Rust’s story are regular people, not political philosophers. They simply want to protect their homes, loved ones and their country. I read “Fallen Eagle: Alaska Front” in a single day. I couldn’t put it down. If military fiction has a place in your reading list, read this one. Rust plans a series to continue the battle between the U.N. general secretary and the damaged U.S. forces. He will attend the upcoming Payson Book Festival. His several books are for sale on Amazon.com. EYE OF THE VIPER BY PETER ALESHIRE REVIEWED BY ANDY MCKINNEY

When we have a compelling subject — the training of the top onetenth of 1 percent of Americans to be fighter pilots — and combine it with sparkling writing by an enthusiastic and gifted author we can expect exceptional results. This time we get just what we expect. U.S. Air Force pilots have been sorted and sifted through a series of screening processes long before they arrive at Luke Air Force base for fighter training. Only some of the people who apply to join the Air Force make it. Of those who pass muster, only some will move on to pilot training. Many who survive the cuts there become something other than a fighter pilot. They drive transports or tankers or helicopters. So by the time the candidates arrive at Luke they have been folded, spindled and mutilated to a fare thee well. Those who are not razor sharp and lightning quick mentally do not arrive at Luke. Those who do not have the physical strength

and stamina to withstand mighty g-forces in tight turns have long since fallen away. Those who remain are absolutely worthy of having $2 million of taxpayers’ money spent to transform them from pilots to fighter pilots. By the end of the book we have a strong sense of just how brave, brilliant, decent and dedicated the pilots are. They can keep track of 16 different firing choices on the stick that they use to control the aircraft, while traveling at more than 600 mph, while keeping in their brain a clear picture of every other aircraft — friend or foe — in nearby air space, and the pilot must do this upside down and fighting g-forces that make a 200pound pilot weigh 1,800 pounds. Folks, not every Tom, Dick or Jane can do this. The pilots that train at Luke to fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon are some of the most exceptional people on the planet. Those who instruct them are even more so. Many of the pilots have degrees in engineering, not a simple or an easy subject. All of them have at least a bachelor’s degree. They have plenty of raw brainpower and the training helps them to focus on the quite literally thousands of tiny details that mean life or death in combat. Or for us, the difference between speaking English or the tongue of some foreign conqueror. The pilots have a bedrock decency that author Peter Aleshire highlights often. One instructor pilot returns to the Combat Search and Rescue unit that heroically saved him while under fire in the Balkans every year, to throw them a party, on the anniversary of the day that they saved his life. Who but a grateful Viper driver would do that? Another pilot Aleshire

describes as “... square-jawed and clear-eyed, ruggedly handsome, with light, twinkling, penetrating eyes ... He’s like Dudley Do Right ... a charming, funny, patriotic, idealistic, bomb-dropping Good Guy.” And he plays the viola. Aleshire gives us a very strong sense of just how special these pilots actually are, these pilots who fly the Viper and do our nation’s bidding — at the risk of their lives. More than 90 F-16 pilots, these exceptional people, have died in training or by accident, giving their lives for the rest of us, we normal, regular people who depend upon these brave, outstanding people to keep us from harm. We respect fighter pilots and hold them in awe with good reason. Aleshire’s prose flows in a colloquial way that entertains while he instructs the readers. In describing the social environment of the U.S. Air Force Academy Aleshire says, “Moreover, the Academy stinks of testosterone — it’s a fraternity of Type As, aggressive, driven, macho guys so eager to prove themselves that they’ve signed up to be underpaid warriors in the richest society in the history of the world.” That’s quite a sting of words, but exemplifies his style here. His muscular, vivid prose barrels the reader through the six-month long training cycle. Once upon a time Aleshire taught at the university level. He gives no hint of the dense, impenetrable prose so typical of many academic writers. The 312-page long “Eye of the Viper” helps the non-specialist reader to understand the difficult and complex skill set of the best pilots in the world. It opens one’s eyes. It should engender a sense of gratitude in our hearts for the men and women who stand between the rest of us and the enemy who always lurks just beyond the campfire light, in some guise or another. This work and eight of Aleshire’s other books may be bought on Amazon.com. He has written about mountain climbing, extensively on Arizona history and the Apache Wars and also my personal favorite, a slender volume for young folk on bats. Meet him in person at the Payson Book Festival.

THE PERFORMANCES

Victoria Banks – 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 29, plus a student outreach Banks’ list of accolades as an artist is long. Her self-produced, self-penned records “When You Can Fly” and “Never be the Same” made her 2009’s most nominated female artist in Canadian Country Music, earned her the 2010 CCMA Female Artist of the Year award, and sent her out on tour with superstars Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd, Lonestar, Randy Travis and Johnny Reid. Songwriting is her first love. She has earned a place as one of the most respected artists in the Canadian Music Industry, the admiration of Nashville’s music elite, and the label of “one of the best songwriters in the business” by Nashville’s Music Row Magazine. In a world where authenticity often takes a backseat to marketability, her music is a unique breath of fresh air. Portraits of America with George Bugatti – 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 16 Bugatti started studying music at the age of 5 and attended the prestigious High School of the Performing Arts in New York, followed by the highly competitive Julliard College, where he honed his skills as a classical pianist, for a short time, before tragedy befell the budding classical pianist. In an accident, the median nerve of his right hand was severed causing the almost complete loss of all movement and sensitivity in his right hand. He was told he would

never play again. It was then, that he discovered his voice. In addition to singing jazz and Broadway standards, Bugatti also performs great standards from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s and writes his own material. Next Generation Leahy – 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 9, plus a student outreach Building on more than three generations of Leahy musicianship, Doug Leahy, together with his wife Jennifer and their children, are keeping traditions alive through music,

song and dance. Still all in elementary school, the children are accomplished multi-instrumentalists. Led by Doug, live performances are filled with the high-energy, infectious Celtic-based music people associate with the Leahy heritage. Fiddle, cello, French accordion, singing, piano, and FrenchCanadian step-dancing all find a voice on stage. Tenoré – 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 29 The group Tenoré is poised to deliver a CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

cultural wallop. Jason Catron, Mark David Williams and David Wise have it all. They have wit, talent, charm and charisma in spades. And, separate from other tenor groups, they add one additional component to their sold out energizing performances — they regularly invite audiences everywhere to sing along with them, creating a powerful concert experience. The brainchild of Jill Ann Siemens, founder of the Platinum-Selling Canadian Tenors, adoring fans can now see why Tenoré is becoming the powerful musical phenomenon that it is. Fans can expect the experience of a lifetime, where the audience irresistibly leaps to their feet, sways to the music and sings along to beloved tunes that everyone knows. This creates an instantaneous connection between artist and concertgoer. The Kat Trio – 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 16, plus a student outreach The violin-clarinet-piano ensemble from Ekaterinburg, Russia was formed in May 1998 in Ekaterinburg by three friends — Victoria Gorbich, violin; Vladislav Gorbich, clarinet; and Vasil Galiulin, piano. Today “The Kat Trio” is Victoria, Vladislav and pianist Joseph Ross. Victoria and Vlad are doctoral graduates of Arizona State University. Joseph is a graduate of Lawrence University and the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary. Kubecca – 7 p.m., Thursday, March 16 Originally from Poland, Kuba Kawnik, began his musical career at the age of 4. Although best known for his performance on vibraphone, he has also mastered some unusual and difficult instruments, including the theremin, a rare and complex contemporary invention accessible to but a very few virtuosos worldwide. On stage, Rebecca Lowe is best known for her roles in the musicals “Evita” and “Jekyll & Hyde.” Booked right out of college, and as the youngest actress to perform the role Kubecca of Eva Peron in “Evita,”  she received standing ovations and critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. Equinox Little Big Band – 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 28 Jeremy Davis, bandleader, tenor sax, vocals — “The Kingpin” Louisiana native Jeremy Davis has led various bands in more 200 shows a year on the road before forming Equinox. His groups have been featured at festivals, theaters and venues all across the country. Clay Johnson, “The Voice,” trombone – “Mr. Showtime” Raised in a family of preachers, teachers and folk/southern gospel singers, Johnson was born to inspire and entertain. His passion for music performance has developed since childhood over thousands of concerts. At the same time, his love for the gospel has taken him all around the U.S. and the world to work with churches and communities as a minister and missionary (i.e., Ukraine, India and Ethiopia). Adam Trent – 7 p.m., Thursday, April 27, plus a student outreach Broadway and TV star Adam Trent exemplifies a new generation of magician. As one of the stars of the hit Broadway show “The Illusionists,” which shattered box office records during its 2014/2015 run, as well as his appearances on “Good Morning America,” “America’s Got Talent,” Disney Channel, ABC, VH1, “Rachel Ray,” Travel Channel, SyFy and others, he is one of the most in demand illusionists working today. Described as Justin Timberlake meets David Copperfield, his audience interactive performances are part magic, part concert and part stand up comedy, with a fast-paced variety necessary for today’s theater audience. Approaching his craftiness with a tongue and cheek attitude allows him to connect with people who normally hate magic shows. He promises that audiences will leave his show feeling differently than they expected to feel after a magic show.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Family and friends rally around as you confront an unexpected challenge. Some plans will have to be changed until all the fuss and fluster settle down. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creative gifts find new outlets for expression this week. Someone (a Libra, perhaps) has ideas that you might find surprisingly appealing. Pay attention. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll soon be able to restart those delayed travel plans. A financial matter you thought was closed could suddenly reopen. Be prepared to take swift, decisive action. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A romantic relationship takes an unexpected turn. You might be confused about how to react. It’s best not to be rushed into a decision that you’re not ready to make. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Don’t let your pride stand in the way of resolving an emotionally painful situation. This is a good time to deal with it and let the healing finally begin. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A workplace problem that you’ve been handling so well suddenly spins out of control. Don’t panic. You can rely on your good sense to help you restore order. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Wearing rose-colored glasses won’t solve a thorny personal situation. You need to take a hard look at what’s happening and then act according to the facts. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Weigh all your options carefully before making any decisions you’ve been putting off. Then go ahead and plan a weekend of family fun. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While personal and financial situations continue to improve, some setbacks might occur. But they’re only temporary, so hang in there. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters dominate the week. Health problems raise concern, but soon prove to be less serious than you had feared. Things start easing up by the weekend. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Most situations are calmer now, both at home and on the job. But there’s still a chance that a co-worker will set off another round of unpleasantness. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) There’s no need to fish for compliments from an admirer who can’t say enough nice things about you. The upcoming holiday bodes well for family gatherings. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to compete, both on a personal and a sporting level, and you hate to settle for anything less than excellence.

Get fired up for the Fourth Celebrating our nation’s independence with parades, speeches and a barbecue dinner is a long-standing tradition. Citizens in every part of the country would come to town for the celebration. They would form a line and march behind their local military regiment until they reached the courthouse square or church grounds. A typical Fourth of July ceremony opened with a prayer, followed by songs and speeches from politicians before ending with a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Then everyone would join in for a community feast of barbecued meats, vegetables and desserts. So if you’re dining on barbecue on July 4, you’re continuing a long, proud American tradition. If you’re using a Weber grill, you have George Stephen to thank for this innovative device. The year was 1952. At the Weber Brothers Metal Works, employee George Stephen had a crazy idea. Using the marine buoys made by his company as a model, he concocted a funky dome-shaped grill with a lid to protect food and keep in the rich barbecue flavor. From those humble beginnings, an international grilling revolution was born. James Purviance is the author of “Weber’s New American Barbecue — A Modern Spin on the Classics.” Purviance is one of America’s top grilling experts and Weber’s master griller. Through stories and essays, hundreds of photos, crystal-clear techniques and 100 exceptional and foolproof recipes, “Weber’s New American Barbecue” celebrates

what’s happening at the grill today. From everyday backyard heroes melding flavors to chefs creating new classics and pitmasters setting new standards of excellence at competitions, this book explores the delicious evolution of our true American pastime — barbecue. Purviance’s recipe for Spicy Shrimp with Charred Poblano Romesco is the perfect Independence Day appetizer.

SPICY SHRIMP WITH CHARRED POBLANO ROMESCO The green romesco is less sweet and a bit spicier than a traditional roasted red pepper romesco. Remember that jalapeño chile peppers vary in heat from one to the next, so it’s a good idea to taste them before adding to a dish. If

1. Prepare grill for direct cooking over high heat (450 F to 550 F). 2. Grill the poblano chiles over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until blackened and blistered all over, 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to trap the steam. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the charred skin, stems and seeds, and then coarsely chop the chiles. 3. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the poblanos, jalapeno, cilantro, almonds, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, sugar and 3 tablespoons of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the salt, and process until well-blended but some texture still remains. Transfer sauce to a serving bowl. 4. In a medium bowl whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt, the paprika and cayenne. Add the shrimp and turn to coat in the mixture. Grill the shrimp over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until firm to the touch and just turning opaque in the center, 2 to 4 minutes, turning once. 5. Arrange shrimp on a platter and serve with the romesco sauce for dipping, and toasted bread and/or tortilla chips for dipping. Serves 4 to 6.

Why blood-pressure readings can vary DEAR DR. ROACH: I would like to comment on your column regarding blood-pressure differences between the arms. A difference of greater than 10 mmHg between the two arms in systolic pressure is considered abnormal. We see patients not uncommonly in consultation for this reason alone, perhaps as many as one a month. Almost always, the reason for the difference is blockage of the subclavian artery. The wrist pulse on the side with lower blood pressure may be normal, diminished or absent in those patients. From 30 years of observation, I have noticed that patients with BP differences between the arms are nearly always female smokers (or former smokers), and the left subclavian is much more likely to be affected (have a lower blood pressure) than the right. Why this sex difference should be and why the left side should predominate is not understood and, to my knowledge, has not been described in print. Additionally, the presentation is usually in a nonobese woman in her 40s or 50s who is still smoking. The significance of the finding is that it is a red flag waving for tobacco cessation and is a marker that that person’s

arteries have already been significantly altered by the habit. Fortunately, the incidence of arm symptoms associated with the lower BP on that side is quite low — perhaps 1 in 10 have any symptoms. It is important, of course, for such patients to be aware of the difference between the arms only to remember which arm (the higher arm systolic number) has the correct measurement (most often, but not always, the right). -- Jerry Svoboda, MD, FACS ANSWER: I thank Dr. Svoboda for his expertise and will add difference in arm blood pressures to my (already very long list) of reasons to quit smoking immediately. DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve heard many medical providers say that they believe they get more accurate blood pressure readings from the old-fashioned manual method, rather than the automatic cuff machines. I wonder how true this can be, though, since the former is subject to human hearing ability. My excellent hearing lets me pick up on beats far beyond what someone who has average hearing can detect, so it stands to reason that there would be a difference in the reading. -- C.B. ANSWER: The very best machines

are accurate at measuring blood pressure; however, a trained clinician remains the standard for blood pressure measurement. Fortunately, good, but not necessarily outstanding, hearing is required for accurate blood pressure measurement. Proper placement and inflation of the cuff, the correct slow deflation rate and, importantly, measuring both arms are as significant as good hearing. I was taught to take an average of three measurements. Excellent hearing helps the clinician pick up on subtle heart murmurs and other noises, normal and abnormal, that the heart makes. If you decide to become a physician, consider cardiology. We physicians should take great care to protect our ears; sadly, some of us listened to music that was too loud at some points in our lives. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu.
