Chocolate and cranberries - a holiday gift of taste! Black and White Holiday Bark with Cranberries Yield: 25 pieces Recipe from America’s Test Kitchen Holiday Cookies 2010 Special Issue Use good quality bittersweet and white chocolate in bar form. Chocolate chips contain less cocoa butter so that they can better hold their shape when baked in cookies, but this makes them harder to melt. Using bar chocolate will give you a much better texture in this bark. Scorched chocolate is a very sad thing, so keep a close eye on your chocolate as you melt it. You can also melt your chocolate in a double boiler instead of the microwave if you want. Ingredients 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped, divided 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal 3/4 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries, chopped, divided 1 pound white chocolate, chopped Instructions Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing at least a two-inch overhang on all sides. Measure out and set aside 2 tablespoons of bittersweet chocolate for the topping. Microwave the remaining bittersweet chocolate in
a bowl at 50% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and stir. Continue to microwave the chocolate for 15 second intervals at 50% power, stirring between intervals, until just small lumps remain. Stir until smooth and pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes. Combine the Rice Krispies and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries and mix them together. Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the bittersweet chocolate, keeping in mind that white chocolate melts at a lower temperature than bittersweet chocolate. Gently fold the cereal mixture into the white chocolate until evenly incorporated. Spread over the bittersweet chocolate and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining dried cranberries and return to the refrigerator to chill for another 30 minutes. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of bittersweet chocolate and pour into a small plastic bag. Cut a small hole in the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the bark. Allow the bark to warm up slightly, about 10 minutes, and pull it out of the pan using the aluminum board. Carefully peel away the foil in an airtight container in the fridge for foil overhang and transfer to a cutting and cut bark into small squares with a up to 2 weeks. sharp chef’s knife. The bark will keep

How to Care for Your Poinsettia After Christmas By Deborah Anderson Now that Christmas is over, and the New Year has arrived, some people are facing the question of what to do with that Poinsettia they enjoyed during the holidays. With the proper care, enjoying these beautiful plants for many years is possible. Poinsettias seem to follow the seasons when it comes to caring for them. During the late winter or early spring, in February or early March, these plants will need the old flowering stems cut back to 4-6 inches in height to promote new growth. During this period, the plants will also need fertilizing monthly; they will need 6 hours of light, they will need to be kept away from heat sources and the moisture must be checked daily. Water when the soil is dry. In late spring or into the summer, repot the plant using a pot 2-3 inch larger in diameter than the one the previous one. Moisten the soil, and then set the plant in a sunny window. When all threat of frost has passed and the night temperatures are above 60 degrees, move the plant outside. The poinsettia will need to be set in a shady spot for a couple of weeks so it can acclimate to the outdoors. After the acclimation, the plant, still
in its pot, is ready to place into a sunny, protected flowerbed. Turn the pot regularly to keep the plant from rooting through the hole in the bottom of the pot; a quarter of a turn weekly should be enough to prevent the rooting. The turning will also help the plant grow evenly. Shaping the plant also takes place during this season. If you desire a short plant with many flowers, pinch the growing shoots off to produce a bushy plant with more flowers. Pinching will only need to occur every 3-4 weeks, according to how fast the plant grows. Be sure to leave 2-3 large fully expanded leaves below the pinched area for a guide to tell when the shoots are ready for pinching. Continue the pinching until midAugust. The poinsettia plant should be kept growing actively throughout the summer by watering regularly and feeding every two weeks with a complete 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer. In the fall, before night temperatures drop below 55 degrees, check the poinsettia for pests and diseases, then brought indoors and placed in a sunny location, preferably in a south window. Reduce fertilization because the plant will begin growing slower and the plant will begin its flower-

ing process. Poinsettia flowering is photoperiodically induced, meaning that the flowers will begin forming when the days are short and the nights are long. With this in mind, the poinsettia must not receive any light at night or the flowering will not occur. If the plant is in a location with light, cover it with a heavy paper bag, or place it in a dark closet at dusk every day, beginning in late September or early October. Because the flower set depends on dark periods longer than 12 hours, keeping the plant completely dark from 5p.m. to 8 a.m. from the end of September to at least December 15 is very important. The dark period should continue until the floral bracts show definite color and are almost fully expanded. Temperatures should
not fall below 55 degrees or go above 70 degrees and the poinsettia will need as much sunlight as possible. If you are having trouble with your poinsettia, look at the temperatures, light intensity, nutrition, and moisture in the soil or the photoperiod method. All these can cause delayed maturity in a poinsettia.

Lights, camera , holiday party With the holiday party season right around the corner, a growing camp of entertaining experts suggests approaching things a little less like Martha Stewart, and a little more like Steven Spielberg. Whether it’s a Halloween party for the kids, a Thanksgiving potluck, or an elegant Christmas dinner, entertaining pros know that “setting the scene” for a memorable event can make a significantly greater impact than debuting the next ambitious dessert recipe. “Inviting family and friends into your home is an intimate gesture,” says Ginny Bean, founder/publisher of Ginny’s catalog and Ginnys. com.”From the way the lighting is set, to the scented candles you choose and the music that’s playing, the best gift you can give your guests is to create a scene that makes them feel comfortable and welcome.” Bean offers the following checklist for transforming your home into a seamless scene for holiday entertaining, and creating a warm and inviting place for guests to interact. * Choose your space. Identify and arrange the area of your home where your scene will be set. When choosing a location, think about the season and theme of your event. If it’s a Halloween party and you’ve transformed your yard into a ghoulish garden of spooky spectacles, convene in a front room and open the curtains. On Thanksgiving, gather near the fireplace. If your home doesn’t have a fireplace, electric fireplaces provide surprisingly affordable ambiance and season-long enjoyment for your family. * Set up the room the day before the party, so you have plenty of time to make last-minute changes. Arrange furniture so guests can move around
easily, clearing out extra furniture if necessarily. A general rule of thumb for mixers and cocktail parties is to have seating for 10 to 15 percent of your guests. If the space you choose is going to be crowded, use a single, preferably round, center table for hors d’oeuvres. If your space is too big for the number of guests, use multiple small tables to create mini food stations, which will encourage guests to move throughout the room. * Dim the lights. Avoid unflattering overhead lights, and instead rely on table and floor lamps, and mood-enhancing candlelight. To get more light from candles, place them in clusters, and decorate with metallic accents that bounce light around and provide a festive holiday feel. Candles, of course, bring more to the party than a flattering light source. Seasonal scents like spiced pumpkin, cranberry clove and gingerbread maple play a dramatic sensory role in setting the scene. * Simplify the table decor. When creating centerpieces and decorative accents for your table and serving areas, less is often more. Seasonal fruit presented with nuts and berries, or evergreen branches and pinecones from your backyard, can make a lovely and elegant statement, at a fraction of the cost of fresh flowers. If you want to decorate with flowers, remember that one large arrangement makes a stronger impression than several small ones. For maximum impact, place flowers on the main food station or at the bar, where guests are guaranteed to see them. * Add thoughtful touches. Place cards casually incorporated into a nicely folded napkin, or placed between the tines of a fork, show how you have thought about each guest
and who they might enjoy meeting. * Turn on the music. Music helps your guests relax and gets them in the proper party mood. Many stereo systems now have an mp3 player dock, so you can create a playlist for the entire evening and avoid the hassle of scrambling to change CDs. Choose tunes that match the occasion, but Bean suggests mixing traditional holiday songs with favorite party tunes in a ratio of one to three. * Ready, set, relax. Set the table, dim the lights, start the music and light the candles well in advance, so you’re relaxed and ready to greet your guests the minute they walk in the door. “If you’re sometimes challenged to get everything ready in time, remember that getting 80 percent of the work finished is good enough,” says Bean, who also encourages her fellow hostesses to “stop trying to be Superwoman in an apron, and ask for help.”
Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. ~David Letterman The San Clemente News

The Tradition of Santa Claus Santa Claus: A Christmas Tradition that is Celebrated Throughout the Entire World By Brenda Hoffman Everyone, everywhere celebrates Christmas. Santa Claus is the number one fan and symbol of this holiday. However, since Christmas is celebrated differently throughout the world it only makes sense that Santa is also seen differently throughout the world. Let’s take a look at some of the different countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Our first stop is France. Here Christmas is known as “Noel” and the children call Santa “Pere Noel.” The French have a Christmas tree that is decorated with real candles and bright red ribbons. They also decorate the outside of their house, especially if they have evergreen trees. They put lights on these trees and they leave them on for the entire night. Our next stop is the Eastern European country of Hungary. Here Santa Claus is called “Mikulas” which means “Winter Grandfather.” On December 5 children clean their rooms and take baths in expectation of Mikulas’ arrival on December 6. For children who are good Mikulas leaves candy and toys in their clean shoes. For naughty children Mikulas leaves a golden birch. This means that these children should get a spanking. On Christmas Eve baby Jesus and His angels bring presents and the Christmas tree. In order to give baby Jesus and His angels time to set everything up families either go to the movies or to a relative’s house on Christmas Eve. Our next stop is in Germany where they truly love to decorate for the holidays. Germans really like to put up electric candles and cover their homes with all kinds of lights and colors. The one special decoration that the Germans are known for is the Adventskranz. This is a leaf wreath that has four candles in it. Germans also like to place a manger scene inside of their home. The Germans do enjoy two times of gift receiving though. The first is on December 6 when St. Nicholas brings children small gifts. Then on Christmas Eve Father Christmas brings gifts to everyone. From Germany we move on to Latvia. This is one country that all children should think about moving to for Christmas time. In Latvia there are 12 days of Christmas celebrated, starting on Christmas Eve. This is also the home of the first ever Christmas tree, which came into being in the year 1510. The traditional Christmas meal consists of brown peas with bacon sauce, sausage, cabbage, and small pies. Now we are onto New Zealand. Here Christmas arrives in the middle of summertime. The Christmas dinner consists of foods that can be barbequed. This includes ham, shrimp and fish. There are parades in most towns during the holiday season. On Christmas Eve Santa Claus brings the children presents that they get to open on Christmas Day. It is interesting though that Latvia also celebrates Christmas again around July 15. It is at this time that it is actually cold enough to enjoy the type of Christmas dinner that we enjoy here in America. Regardless of what country you go to, Christmas is celebrated in some way. So, you should not ever worry that Santa will be unable to find you because he will

H o l i d a y e n t e r ta i n m e n t s u r v i v a l g u i d e The countdown to this year’s holiday season has begun. Department stores have decked the halls. Families are scheduling trips to visit far-away loved ones. And hosts everywhere are stressing about entertaining family and friends during this frantic season of peace and good will. To ease stress, the Kansas City Steak Company has put together a holiday entertainment guide to help you weather the storm and come out with host-of-the-year honors. Here are a few tips. Stock the freezer and pantry with can’t miss meals that delight every time Every host has some go-to recipes that are crowd pleasers. Be sure to stock your freezer with some family favorites leading into the holiday season. Whether you’re planning a glorious Christmas Eve feast or an impromptu holiday party, you’ll have everything you need to delight your guests. A succulent prime rib roast is always a great go-to meal. It’s easy to prepare, doesn’t require a lot of fuss and never fails to impress even the pickiest eater. A flavorful beef tenderloin roast is another easy fan favorite. You can also check out a few other special holiday meals from companies like the Kansas City Steak Company to stock your pantry with
foods your family and friends will love. Don’t forget to add in a few appetizers, side dishes and a dessert or two to your freezer stash. When time is limited, stocking the freezer with time-saving, delicious go-to items is the way to go. Add a few special items to make your holiday table sparkle From colorful holiday runners and napkins, to large platters and serving bowls, it’s a great idea to pull out your holiday items and place them in an easy-to-reach location during the holiday season. Candles add a special ambiance to holiday parties, so keep a few of your favorite scented votives and pillars on hand and you’ll have a special glow. And don’t forget to buy a few nonperishable foods that add elegance to any holiday spread: olives, crackers, holiday cookies, spiced nuts whatever your family and friends enjoy, stock up and they’ll be ready whenever you need them. Consider a potluck meal this year Potluck dinners can take a lot of stress off your plate and are a great way to create memorable meals anytime - especially during the holidays. Usually the host takes care of the meal’s entree. Guests could bring their favorite salads, breads, desserts or whatever you need to round out the meal. It’s a great way to
spread out costs, reduce stress and entertain in style. Prepping the holiday bar Impromptu and planned holiday gatherings often mean you’ll want to offer a variety of beverages. Stocking your bar with a few bottles of your favorite wine, beer, vodka, whiskey and some mixers means you don’t have to make a last-minute trip to the store when you’d rather be visiting with friends. Welcome guests with festive holiday music Few things say, “Happy Holidays,” like the tunes that define the season. Tune into one of the stations in your area that plays holiday music 24/7 from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Or download some favorites onto your iPod and let the music waft throughout your home. Stow away a few extra gifts for unexpected guests It happens every year. Someone stops by to deliver an unexpected holiday gift and you haven’t included that person on your gift list. Whether it’s a box of special chocolates, scented candles or even a box of succulent steaks, you’ll be prepared for any occasion by having extra gifts on-hand. Making your home “guest-ready” A clean home is a happy home - and a reflection on you. Take a
few moments to walk through your home before guests arrive. Check the bathrooms to make sure they’re well-stocked. Add a few extra hangers to your closet. Remove excess clutter. Taking a few minutes before guests arrive to tidy up will mean that much less you’ll have to clean after the party. Take time to savor the special moments and memories There is no perfect holiday gathering, so remember to laugh and love and move on. Advanced planning will help you survive some of the usual holiday entertaining stresses, but learning to let the little things go can go a long way to helping you see that this time together is precious.

Red Carpet and Cocktails Supports Working Wardrobes Over 100 women (and a few men!) gathered at The Pacific Club for “Red Carpet & Cocktails,” an evening of style, shopping and socializing, all in support of Smart Women, a women’s giving collaborative supporting Working Wardrobes. Working Wardrobes empowers men, women, young adults and veterans to confidently enter the workforce through a variety of career development programs and VetNet, a comprehensive employment program for veterans. The man of the hour and the evening’s guest speaker was Style Guru and renowned Hollywood Costume Designer Luke Reichle. Luke designs for ABC’s hit TV series “Castle”,” Without a Trace” and “CSI Miami”, and he is also the author of the very popular eBook “It’s Not About the Clothes” with a loyal following of actors, producers, directors and private and corporate clients, offering style secrets and A-List advice on how to bring the glamour of the red carpet to your everyday dressing. The evening started off with a dramatic entrance complete with a beautiful Christmas tree in the foyer of the ball room along with a Champagne greeting! Pre-event shopping was also on tap where folks were able to purchase some very sweet deals of Channel, Dior, BCBG and others designer items. It was a perfect time to take advantage of some early holiday shopping with these table top pop-up shops from Working Wardrobes’ very own Hanger boutiques; retails stores that house and sell designer clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories at affordable prices, with proceeds helping the clients of Working Wardrobes find jobs they love. Two donation tables were also on display with beautiful designer purses and unique pieces of costume jewelry – the tables were filled with items and for a $100 or $50 donation, you were able to choose which table and item you wanted! Luke also mingled with the crowd giving his opinions to those who asked as well as his secrets for looking fabulous. “The room was absolutely buzzing—our Smart Women are dynamic and full of energy—and our guest speaker Luke Reichle moved us, inspired us and educated us!” said Jerry Rosen, CEO and Founder of Working Wardrobes. “We are so lucky to have such incredible and dedicated supporters who believe in our mission and want to see us serve more and more clients” she concluded. Guests also enjoyed appetizers that consisted of an Artisan Cheese Board resourced from the best creameries and dairies across the globe to serve a full assortment of artisan cheeses, served with the Pacific Club’s house made chutneys, compotes, dried fruits, and gourmet crackers. There was also Charcuterie Display with cured, roasted, and smoked meats, sausages and pates, served with French pickles, mustard, garlic aioli, house made relish and rustic breads. Luke then took to the podium with everyone listening intently, bowling over with laughter, and ferociously taking notes as he shared his extraordinary story, preached the importance of style from the inside out, and rattled off tips and tricks for creating an elegant, exciting and attainable personal style. Luke was also kind enough to stay after the event ended to chat and consult with many of the guests. The event raised over $6000 and several of the attendees joined the “Smart Women Giving Collaborative”. You can see Luke in action and on a regular basis by tuning into his livestreaming web series Secrets of the Red Carpet—Style from the Inside Out, the ultimate Hollywood insider’s guide to dressing with ease, power and maximum allure. For more on Luke, check out his website at www. secretsoftheredcarpet.com. Working Wardrobes’ Smart Women is a member-based giving collaborative for Orange County’s leading ladies, with opportunities to network, shop, explore hot topics at their quarterly Smart Women events.

The holiday season is quickly approaching and you may already be stressing about how to find items that everyone on your shopping list will love.

Tips for successful gift giving this holiday season This time of year, there is no shortage of holiday gift guides available to help you find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. Whether it’s your chocolateloving aunt or fashion-forward sister, there is an art to selecting just the right things to put smiles on their faces. Here are a few tips to get you through the overwhelming gift giving process this holiday season: Developing your list When you create your holiday shopping list this year, include your close friends and family - but don’t forget others who may impact your day-today life. Whether it’s your local mail carrier or your children’s school teachers, be sure to show the people who really make a difference in your life gratitude this holiday season - they’ll appreciate your acknowledgment of the impact they have on you. Deciding on gifts With so many people and preferences to consider, it’s great to have one place you can go, like See’s Candies, to purchase delicious gifts with just the right level of customization for each person on your list. The candy retailer’s Holiday Gift Centers will be in major malls across the country this holiday season, featuring candies using the finest, freshest ingredients. With delectable boxed chocolates and holiday assortments at varying price points, See’s can help you find something for everyone in your life. Don’t forget the host
Once you complete your holiday shopping and check off everyone on your list, you’re not out of the woods just yet. You may be hosting a holiday get together or, better yet, heading to a loved one’s home to celebrate. If someone else is hosting this year, be sure not to show up empty-handed. Ask the host if you can bring an appetizer or dessert and grab an extra box of See’s Candies that will positively be the perfect after-dinner treat. You can also consider bringing the sweet treats as a thankyou gift for the host and their family.
Remember to enjoy it While you’re running around decorating, purchasing gifts, and attending holiday parties, be sure to take a moment to really enjoy the time with your friends and family and remember that quality time is what makes the holidays special. While people look forward to the holidays and time off, they can often be busy and stressful. Make sure you stay in the moment and don’t miss out on the holiday fun.

Finding unique gifts for family and friends can be a daunting task. Instead of spending days scouring boutiques for that one-of-a-kind present, many smart gift-givers are turning to a new technology called 3-D printing. So, what exactly is 3-D printing? From the outside, these machines look a bit like giant refrigerators. But inside, advanced technology works to slowly layer materials - like stainless steel, porcelain, or plastic - into 3-D products. Three-dimensional printing can take anywhere from a couple hours to multiple days, depending on the complexity and size of the finished product. While this technology may seem out of reach for the average person, you may be surprised to learn that 3-D printing is now accessible to anyone with Internet access. With options to fit just about any budget, companies like Shapeways make it possible for you to find the perfect 3-D gift for anyone on your list. Here are some gift ideas to fit any personality type: Green thumbs: Add a touch of

San Clemente News Legal Notices NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-14-613603-HL Order No.: 140038494-CA-MAI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/24/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): ISABEL WOODS, A SINGLE WOMAN Recorded: 7/1/2005 as Instrument No. 2005000513670 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of ORANGE County, California; Date of Sale: 1/2/2015 at 12:00:00 PM Place of Sale: At the North front entrance to the County Courthouse, 700 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $2,224,260.55 The purported property address is: 33601 HOLTZ HILL ROAD, DANA POINT, CA 92629 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 682-221-66 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-613603HL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
