Kitchens are where holiday memories are often made...

Create one that serves up joy

By KIM COOK

Associated Press

As the holidays approach, there’s one room in the home where the tantalizing aromas of good food and the chatter of good folk converge: the kitchen.

More than mere culinary spaces, kitchens tend to embody the heart of a home.

There’s the messiness and mayhem of communal meal making. Perhaps some pre-bedtime snacks. It’s a place where many holiday memories are made.

Yet if you’ve scanned the

pages of décor magazines and websites in recent years, you’ll have noted that the prime aspirational kitchen leans toward a serious and sleek vibe — pro-level equipment; a super-functional layout; lots of neutral colors and clean lines.

“We’ve officially reached peak kitchen design. We know exactly how to make a beautiful, luxurious cooking space,” Sophie Donelson writes in her new book, “Uncommon Kitchens.”

“Many of us find ourselves reminiscing about a family kitchen from growing up; not a perfect one, not a new or luxurious one, but one in which conversations happened, food was made, life unfolded,” she notes.

Donelson and other design experts say that with a measure of color, pattern and/or décor elements, we can all have a kitchen that serves up happy. A few ideas to sip and savor: All the feels Whether our ideal kitchen is kitted out like Martha Stewart’s or hasn’t much more than a humble cooktop, toaster oven and mélange of mugs, it’s a space with many functions and moods.

Be mindful of lighting and, above all, how you use your kitchen, Donelson says.

Lee Reich | In the Garden

Ethylene’s role in the garden Editor’s note: This column has been excerpted from the columnist’s recent book, “The Ever Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Much Better Garden.”

THYLENE IS SO simple. It’s a gas made up of just two atoms of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. Simple gases are generally not the kinds of molecules that make plant hormones. Plant hormones, like human hormones, are substances having dramatic effects at extremely low concentrations and generally they are complex molecules, and not gases. Nonetheless, ethylene is a plant hormone.

I think of ethylene as I sink my teeth into fresh garden tomatoes in late autumn.

Note that I wrote “fresh,” not “fresh-picked.” Those tomatoes are picked weeks prior to eating, before the last frost. I pick the pale-green, pink, or red tomatoes that are clinging to the vines, then gently lay them out in single layers on trays in my basement. Every day after picking, the pale fruits deepen in color as they ripen.

It’s ethylene that is responsible for this transformation from pale and insipid to red and flavorful. Ethylene is produced naturally in ripening fruits, and its very presence — even at concentrations as low as 0.001 percent — stimulates further ripening. The ethylene given off by ripe apples can be used to hurry along ripening of tomatoes, by placing an apple in a closed bag with the tomatoes. If the fruits are left too long in that bag, ethylene will stimulate ripening which will stimulate more ethylene which will stimulate more ripening which will stimulate more ethylene, which will stimulate still more ripening, ad infinitum, until what is left is a bag of mushy, rotten fruit.

Hence, one rotten apple really can spoil the whole barrel.

Banana, apple, tomato and avocado are among so-called climacteric fruits, which

undergo a burst of respiration and ethylene production as ripening begins. These fruits, if picked sufficiently mature, can, like my tomatoes, ripen following harvest. Soon after their climacteric, these fruits start their decline. (I question whether the color and flavor changes associated with ripening of climacteric fruits after harvest match flavor development of these fruits when allowed to fully ripen on the plants. Ripening on the plant, of course, introduces other variables, such as sunlight, which also influence flavor.)

Citrus fruits, fig, strawberry and raspberry are examples of non-climacteric fruits, whose ripening proceeds more calmly. Non-climacteric fruits will not ripen after they’ve been harvested. They might soften and sweeten as complex carbohydrates break down into simple sugars, but such changes might be more indicative of incipient rot rather than ripening or flavor enhancement.

Over the centuries, without knowing it, ethylene sometimes has been applied to growing plants or stored fruits. Fruit shippers realized decades ago that oranges could not share a ship’s hold with ripe bananas or the latter would be overripe at the banana boats’ port of arrival.

The Chinese used burning incense to hasten fruit ripening (burning gives off a small amount of ethylene).

Fig-oiling, putting a drop of oil (often olive oil) on the eye of a nearly ripe fig while it’s still on the plant, has been practiced since ancient times to speed fruit ripening. The released ethylene is what does it.

It wasn’t until 1934 that a scientist discovered that ethylene is produced in plants and stimulates ripening. These days, ethylene is applied knowingly with a chemical commonly known as Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid). When plants are sprayed with Ethrel, it changes to ethylene. In an effort to thwart ethylene production — to put the brakes on fruit ripening, to keep harvested, ripe fruit in good condition longer, or to delay fruit drop from a plant — chemical inhibitors, such as 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) have also been developed.

Ethylene has effects other than hastening fruit ripening. It also can slow rampant shoot growth, sometimes, in so doing, diverting the plant’s energy into making flowers and fruits. Puerto Rican pineapple growers used to build bonfires near their fields to get the plants to fruit. On a windowsill, a potted pineapple plant can be persuaded to flower by enclosing the whole plant in a bag with an apple for awhile.

Commercial apple trees which are growing only wood sometimes are sprayed early in the season with Ethrel to get them to settle down and start fruiting.

Fruit ripening and ethylene itself are not the only stimuli to ethylene production in plants. If a leaf is damaged, or even gently rubbed, the cells start emanating ethylene. Similarly, if a branch is bent or whipped in the wind.

There may be something to the folklore of beating an apple tree to induce it to fruit.

Just as ethylene hastens ripening, then senescence, of SEE REICH, PAGE F6

A kitchen classic

A

PRACTICAL, CONvenient and attractive way to help keep produce fresh longer, this build-it-yourself storage bin unit is a true country classic. The project features wire mesh on the front of each bin, which allows air to circulate freely and creates a cool, dry environment that apples, potatoes and onions love.

Down below, two pull-out bins measuring 10 inches deep by 15 inches wide have plenty of room to hold lots of produce. Up above, a flat shelf is just right for canned goods, dish towels or other dry goods.

Easy enough for beginners, the project is built from standard lumber (pine as pictured) and features full-size traceable patterns for the curves on the bins and base. To build, trace the pieces onto the wood, cut out and assemble using glue and nails.

Next, sand and finish with stain or paint. Finally, attach the bins to the main cabinet with hinges and install the knobs.

The project measures 40 inches tall by 19 inches wide by 12 inches deep.

The Storage Bins plan, No. 797, is $9.95 and includes step-by-step instructions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams and a complete shopping list and cutting schedule. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two

usually measure nitrogen. A soil pH that is too high (basic) or too low (acidic) means nutrients aren’t available to the plants, even if they are in the soil, says Shannon Alford, the director of the Agricultural Service and Fertilizer laboratories at Clemson University.

The desired pH depends on what you’re growing and the type of soil. “Most plants grow well in a neutral pH of 6.07.0,” Alford says. Some plants, such as blueberries, azaleas and camellias, prefer more acidic soil.

Most soil tests don’t look for contaminants, such as lead, but some places, such as the lab at Rutgers, offer it as an additional service.

This test isn’t critical if you’re growing trees or shrubs, but if you’re planting fruits and vegetables, you want to know if there is lead in the soil, says Bennett. For detailed contaminant testing, including heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium or mercury, Murphy recommends going to a cer-

tified environmental testing laboratory.

Where to get testing Many state university extension offices or cooperative extension programs offer soil testing, with prices typically between $10 and $30. “It’s a very small investment for a big return,” Reeves says. To find a lab near you, search online for your state and soil testing.

Although DIY kits are easy to find at garden centers or online, experts say they aren’t necessarily less expensive than sending it to a lab, and the results aren’t as reliable. “The accuracy of the lab and the recommendations are going to be tailored to your area and what you’re growing,” Alford says.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst offers a soil testing service out of its Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment. For more information, and to place an order, visit https:// ag.umass.edu/services/ soil-plant-nutrient-testing-laboratory.

How to gather your sample Tests come with detailed instructions. Typically, a lab needs about two cups to perform the test. A sample needs to be reflective of the whole area where you plan to grow, at the root level, which varies for a vegetable garden, shrubs, flowers, trees or a lawn.

“We recommend about 15 to 20 subsamples to six-inch depth, so you don’t want to rely on just one spot in that

Reich

area,” Murphy says. “Get an average for that whole area [and] mix them together to create a composite sample — that’s what you send to us.”

If you’re growing trees, Bennett says, you’ll want to go as deep as 12 inches; for a lawn, a soil sample four inches down is ideal.

Once you have collected samples where you intend to garden, you’ll mix them together and send the composite to the lab.

When — and how often — to test Alford recommends annual testing at the end of the growing season, before fertilizer or any nutrients are added.

That timing also helps you avoid the spring rush.

Results typically take one to three weeks, but may take longer in the busy season.

That said, tests can be done any time of year as long as the soil isn’t wet or frozen.

There is plenty of interest in items like yours! If the guns you mentioned are real, not toys, check your local and state laws if you intend to sell them. The safest way to sell guns is through a reputable dealer. General antiques dealers will be interested in the rest of your collection. Antique toy and doll shows are usually the best places to sell old toys. There are many regional shows throughout the country. A collector’s club can help you find one near you.

Alexander Panchelyuga and Alisa Panchelyuga to Kay Thi Oo and Hnin Wut Yee, 61-63 High St., $536,100.

Third-straight weekly drop

By ALEX VEIGA

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The average

rate on the benchmark 30-year home loan fell for the third week in a row, welcome news for house hunters facing a market held back by persistently high prices and a near-historic low number of homes for sale.

The latest decline brought the average rate on a 30year mortgage down to 7.44% from 7.5% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.61%.

As mortgage rates rise, they can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford in a market already out of reach for many Americans. They also discourage homeowners who locked in far lower rates two years ago, when they were around 3%, from selling.

The combination of rising mortgage rates and home prices have weighed on sales of previously occupied U.S. homes, which fell in September for the fourth month in a row, grinding to their slowest pace in more than a decade.

This average rate on a 30-year mortgage is now at the lowest level it’s been in eight weeks, when it was 7.31%.

Borrowing costs on 15year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners refinancing their home loan, also declined, with the average rate falling to 6.76% from 6.81% last week. A year ago, it averaged 5.98%, Freddie Mac said.
