About the cover Artist: Mya Louw ARTWORK TITLE: Rolling Hills Oil on canvas
51 Escape Lake Tahoe
Painter Mya Louw has lived, studied, and worked in South Africa, Europe and the U.S. Louw is an honors graduate in fine art from Rhodes University, South Africa, and further studied at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. The award-winning artist’s earlier work was largely influenced by the Dutch School and later, the wide-open spaces and bright colors of the African landscape. The vast, beautiful plains and hills of California have proven a new challenge since settling here 19 years ago. Her work may be found in private and corporate collections locally and abroad. Louw paints full-time and welcomes the public to her studio in Granite Bay, especially during the 19th Annual Autumn Art Studios Tour on November 9-11.

“H
ave you started your holiday shopping yet?” Someone asked me the other day in the checkout line at Target. I had to apologize for the look on my face, but I thought to myself, “Is she serious? She must be kidding.” My reply (with a smile) to Chatty Cathy was, “It’s not December yet is it?” I giggled. She looked confused, but then managed to politely wish me good luck. She’s probably right; I’m going to need divine intervention this year if I wait until the 11th hour to get the good stuff, similar to how I’ve done every year. I’m not a big fan of shopping during the holiday season (with a bah-zillion other people doing the same thing, it can get annoying), but I do love thinking of and giving gifts to my friends and family. But, the best part about this time of year is the massive amount of (delicious) food I will consume. I’m a sucker for potlucks. With airline ticket sales and time-off requests on the upswing, it’s safe to say the holiday season has already started. The next three months will feature numerous opportunities to celebrate and catch up with loved ones, out-of-town family members, friends and coworkers. Along with all the merriment and festivities that will fill our dockets, there is much behind-the-scenes work necessary to make the magic happen. Thankfully, this month we can help with quick and easy recipes for just about any get-together. Don’t know what to bring to a holiday lunch or office party or family gathering? Tired of the usual? Save the stress for when you exceed your holiday budget and impress friends with a recipe from Style’s “2nd Annual Recipes Remembered” featuring a menu of time-tested and easyto-prepare party and potluck eats (plus one killer cocktail!). Style readers not only share their crowd-pleasing recipes, but they also remind us of the reason for the season with Thanksgiving sentiments and photos. During this season of celebrations, party planners and hosts who want to have the most should not miss Darren Elms’ tips for holiday entertaining in Home Design. And for what to do after the meal, there’s plenty to plan in this month’s Calendar (filled with a plethora of special events) and in The Arts, featuring a “Holiday Performance Roundup.” From symphony seats to craft fairs, there’s something for everyone. Need some fresh air? I can’t think of a better breathe-easy spot than Lake Tahoe. Find the “Best of North & South Lake Tahoe” in Escape, in which Barbara L. Steinberg takes nearly-local leisure to new heights. If skiing or snowboarding is not a passion of yours, don’t worry, there’s mountains more to see and do. Moonlight snowmobiling anyone? Wherever your travels take you this month, enjoy the time spent with those most precious in your life…and be thankful you can. — Desiree

Skatestrong held its first competition last August, raising more than $3,000 dollars to send kids to Camp Kesem, a camp for children with a parent who has, or has had, cancer. And the boys have no plans to stop anytime soon. “Next year, we’re hoping to get a bigger sponsor, so we can do a series of contests in a bunch of different places,” Zach says. Their father, Chet Cook, has helped and supported them all along the way, and he is understandably thrilled with the boys’ success. “I’m extremely proud,” he says. “They have huge hearts – they’ve always been givers.” — Amber Foster

evi and Zach Cook, 10 and 12 years old, respectively, aren’t your typical skater kids. They are the founders of Skatestrong, a group that hosts skateboarding events in order to raise funds to support children of parents with cancer. Skatestrong is part of the Livestrong Foundation, a cancer awareness and advocacy group started by their role model, Lance Armstrong. “Our dad’s a huge fan,” Levi explains. The boys were particularly inspired by the way Armstrong battled cancer. As a result, they decided to start an organization of their own, one which would allow them to turn their favorite sport into a way to help others.

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market The calendar may say fall, but winter squash – which is actually a summer-growing annual vegetable available in the late summer, fall and winter seasons – is here. The vegetable comes in many shapes and sizes, but all varieties have hard outer rinds that surround sweet, oftenorange flesh. Unlike summer squash, winter squash must be cooked. Thankfully, it’s relatively easy to prepare and can be enjoyed with cinnamon and maple syrup (for those with a sweet tooth) or, for a savory treat, steamed and dressed with olive oil, soy sauce, ginger and pumpkin seeds.
DID YOU KNOW? Every part of the squash plant can be eaten, including the leaves and shoots, which are often used in omelets and soups. Even the seeds from winter squash are edible; they make a great snack and are similar in taste to pumpkin seeds. In Placer County, winter squash can be purchased at farmers’ markets 14 stylemg.com - November 2012
the level of comfort you experience. Saltwater is softer than traditionally chlorinated water; you’ll avoid red eyes, itchy skin and discolored hair. The chlorine generator converts salt to chlorine, so water sanitation remains constant, inhibiting algae growth. A saltwater system does not require you to buy, store or handle toxic chlorine. Although installation of a saltwater system is more expensive up front, they can pay for themselves after a few years. If you’re thinking about installing a pool, you should consider getting a saltwater system, and if you’re a current pool owner, you can easily convert your pool to saltwater. The additional equipment requires some maintenance, but the advantages far outweigh the drawbacks. — Donna L.

held year-round in Auburn and Roseville; also, it’s available at Pilz Produce in Auburn, Willow Creek Ranch in Penryn, Otow Orchard in Granite Bay, and at Natural Trading Company and Newcastle Produce in Newcastle.
SELECTION AND STORAGE: The best winter squash are firm and heavy for their size with a dull rind. It’s ideal to store winter squash at temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Once you cut the squash, it should be covered in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator where it can be kept for one to two days. If you plan to display the beauties in your home, they can usually be kept for up to six weeks. — Susan Belknap For the recipe to make Butternut Squash and Mushroom Casserole, visit stylemg.com.

Turkey Trivia America’s favorite bird, the turkey, has a lot more to it than just being the main course at Thanksgiving dinner. When you get together with your family and friends this year to give thanks, test your knowledge of this beloved (and tasty) bird. 1. What is the Native American name for the turkey? 2. How many turkeys are cooked every Thanksgiving in the U.S.? 3. How fast can a turkey run?

Sweet Stuff Cakery
upcakes and cake pops seem to be all the rage these days, and I for one have zero complaints about the trend. While driving through East Roseville on a recent sunny Saturday afternoon, I stopped by the equally cheery Sweet Stuff Cakery to satisfy my insatiable need for all things sugary. The glass case glowed with gorgeous homemade offerings. The Salty Pretzel, Island Kiss, Red Velvet and Apricot Delight (filled with cream cheese and apricot preserves) cupcakes all looked temptingly delicious – it was hard to settle on just one, so I compromised. I pointed to the Lemon Drop Cupcake and a Vegan German Chocolate Cake Pop, encased in

a delicate white chocolate shell. I was not disappointed with my choices. The citrusy lemon cupcake was stuffed with lemon curd and generously topped with a light lemon buttercream frosting; it was as bright as the day outside. The cake pop was dense but not overly rich, and I was pleased to learn that several of their vegan confections have won awards at the Sacramento Vegan Challenge. In fact, many of their items can be made either vegan or gluten free, which should leave no excuse not to pop by and pick up a treat. Sweet Stuff Cakery, 3031 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 110, Roseville. 916-773-1989, sweetstuffcakery.com. — Kelly Soderlund
6. How are turkey hearts and human hearts similar? 7. Do we eat wild turkeys or domestic turkeys during Thanksgiving? Why? 8. How are peacocks and turkeys similar? 9. What are baby turkeys known as? 10. Approximately how many pounds of turkey meat are consumed each year by the 95 percent of Americans who follow this holiday tradition? — Paris Ryan

arks are commonly thought of as a venue for fun and games, but that’s only one role they play in an urban environment. Municipal parks, which broadly include parkland, plazas, landscaped boulevards, promenades and public gardens, significantly define the layout, real estate value, traffic flow, public events and civic culture of a community. Thanks to the bounty of parks, open spaces and streetscapes in Rocklin, the city and neighborhoods take on structure, beauty, breathing room and value, which results in less crime, more social interaction, enhanced quality of life, and improved property values. The onset of autumn is a great time to visit your neighborhood parks – engage in the myriad of recreational offerings, have fun and play games. With 31 parks, hundreds of acres of open space and trail systems that seem endless, come see why people are looking at Rocklin to live, play and create business opportunities. — Leslie Woodman

Livin’ Lovin’ Losin’ – Songs of the Louvin Brothers From 1940 through the early ’60s, the Louvin Brothers produced some of the most beautiful harmonies ever heard. The inspiration for many country legends, including Johnny Cash, it’s only fitting that some of country’s greatest superstars assembled to pay tribute to the duo’s timeless songs. Featuring artists like Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Cash and many more.
Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis De Berniéres Eccentric, moving and entirely engrossing, Corelli’s Mandolin captivated readers in 1994, even sparking a movie. But the true delight of Corelli is in Berniéres’ words: the joyful sidetracks, the impish humor, and the delight he takes in the Taming of the Shrew-esque romance between his two main characters, as well as the heartwrenching truth of its historic WWII setting. A must read, re-read, and re-read again!
Mystery Men Not a hit at the time, but a cult favorite now, Mystery Men gives you not-so-super heroes and the also-rans – guys like the Shoveler (William H. Macy), Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller) and the Bowler (Janeane Garofalo). The mundane and awkward humor Mystery Men takes can be seen in today’s hits like Iron Man and The Avengers, and with comedy from co-stars like Paul Reubens and Hank Azaria, Mystery Men pleases.

Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran – Jamey Johnson Country legend-in-the-making Jamey Johnson has gathered prodigies like Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and George Strait to pay tribute to Hank Cochran, one of country music’s great songwriters. Cochran wrote numerous country hits, including Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces” and George Strait’s “The Chair,” and mentored many artists, including Haggard and Johnson. This album is a heartfelt tribute to a deserving legend.
NOW: In Sunlight and in Shadow by Mark Helprin Fans of Mark Helprin’s previous works, such as Winter’s Tale and A Soldier of the Great War, will know that few authors write love stories like Helprin. Set in 1946 in the fairy tale kingdom of New York City, In Sunlight and in Shadow sweeps you up in the world of Harry and Catherine, and their struggles to be together in love. At once human yet altogether magical, Helprin does not disappoint.
The Amazing Spider-Man Much like The Incredible Hulk, there are many ways to tell Spider-Man’s original story. Not replacing the Raimi trilogy, but rather complementing it, The Amazing Spider-Man brings a deeper, slightly different origin story, and a captivating tale of teenage love – thanks to leads James Garfield (The Social Network) and Emma Stone (Crazy Stupid Love). Think of it as a few more layers of the Spidey we all know and love.

forever young Part Three: The Mood Impact by Jenn Thornton
SIGNS OF STRESS Lifestyle, heredity and diet all affect how we age. So does a healthy mental and emotional state. “Stressors of any kind can use up nutrients and hormones in an attempt to balance physiological processes like blood pressure,” Dr. Raithel explains. “These nutrients and antioxidants are then less available for other processes like repairing damage to skin and joints, and scavenging free radicals.” In other words, you look as good as
Use your vacation time. Many of us do not take the time to relax. you feel – news that, for those chronically at their wit’s end, isn’t exactly winning the lotto. Externally, stress manifests itself in under-eye circles, weight gain and 24 stylemg.com - November 2012
diminished skin elasticity, among other unsightly cues. Those in this category lose the ability to concentrate clearly, report high blood pressure levels, suffer mood instability and look like they haven’t slept in weeks. Trying to right a ship so clearly off course seems insurmountable, but it’s manageable – and for less then a facial.
AGING GRACEFULLY The key to aging gracefully, explains Dr. Raithel, is to “identify your stress zones, and focus your energies there first.” Traffic making you crazy? Switch on calming tunes. Can’t find your desk amidst all your piles? Simplify spaces for performance rather than for piecing together missing components of a project. Clarity brings calm, and with it, an even mood and more youthful appearance. Equally important is making time to recharge. “Overworking fatigues the brain and decreases productivity,” Dr. Raithel explains. “Use your vacation time. Many of us do not take the time to relax. Eventually your body will force you to relax by developing a chronic disease.” (Crow’s feet, gray hairs and extra weight from sugary cocktails you use to, ahem, “calm your nerves” are also common forms of payback.) To revitalize, add mood stabilizers like restorative sleep, small doses of sunlight (a lack of which is linked to neu-
rochemical brain changes) and mini meals eaten throughout the day. Dr. Raithel also touts mindful breathing and meditating in 30 second spurts from sunup to sundown, which for most people is more doable than seeking clarity in 20-minute stretches. It’s also effective, “having a massive impact on the body’s ability to cope with stress,” the good doctor adds. Forsaking quick fixes for long-term lifestyle cures like these supplement antiaging mainstays like exercise, hydration, a nutrient-rich diet and, oh yeah, sex. Not only does a roll in the hay do wonders for you psychologically, it’s scientifically proven to take years off your life. So put down the latest beauty elixir and get in the mood.

et’s face it: Germs are everywhere – on doorknobs, tables and chairs, in the mall, on planes and buses…the list goes on and on. While adults may do their best to keep contact with germs to a minimum, youngsters are an entirely different story. Between school, the playground and friends’ houses, kids are everywhere and touch everything.
NATURE’S PLAN
GOOD GERMS? Not all germs are the same. In fact, some can even be good for you. For example, Dr. Washburn says probiotics are bacteria thought to be beneficial, especially to digestion. In fact, the human intestinal tract is full

dirty little secret The Truth About Germs and Children’s Health by Corrie Pelc of bacteria, both good and bad. “Most bacteria are just fellow travelers with us, a few can make us sick, and some are seen as beneficial because they help aid digestion,” he explains. When you ingest an antibiotic medicine, it kills all forms of bacteria, including the good. For this reason, Dr. Washburn says taking a probiotic product afterward can help reestablish beneficial bacteria in the stomach. He says one such bacteria commonly used is lactobacillus acidophilus. However, he cautions this can be problematic for children with an immune deficiency and advises parents to consult their child’s doctor first.
A LITTLE SOAP AND WATER Dr. Washburn says standard hand washing before meals and after going to the bathroom is all that’s necessary to help fight off unwanted germs. But what is the proper way to wash your hands? Dr. Washburn says it’s “nothing special” – just a good scrub with soap and water. “Fear of germs and trying to be hyperclean is very unlikely to be helpful; germs are everywhere, and we live with them without harm most of the time,” Dr. Washburn assures. “Normal cleanliness, such as what your mother or grandmother would have encouraged, makes sense.”

Should parents be chasing their children and hosing them down with hand sanitizer every chance they get? Not necessarily, says Dr. Earl Washburn, a pediatrician with Marshall Pediatrics in Placerville. “Germs are a part of our bodies and a part of our world,” he explains. “In the past several years many people have used antibacterial soaps and hand gels in the hope of reducing exposure to illness. Many experts now question whether all these antibacterial products do any good.” Plus, some research is now finding that having an environment be too clean may lead to increased allergies in kids. A study released in June 2012 found exposure to antibacterial chemicals and preservatives in personal care products, like soap and toothpaste, could make kids more prone to a wide range of allergies.

She now works for Koinonia Family Services, helping teens just like her. “I see miracles happen every day,” Ryland says. In addition to the CRC, Ryland runs Homes for Teens, a program that’s been around for more than 30 years. The teens in the program are foster kids or children mandated by the court to attend – most of them drug addicts or involved in gangs. Koinonia provides them with counseling and a high school education; as well, they learn life skills, find healing for their addictions, and learn how to be productive members of society. According to Tom McCormick, the
high school teacher on staff at Koinonia, this is the first time many of his students have had the positive school environment they need to excel. Ryland loves it when students visit him years after attending one of his programs, and he takes pride in the fact that cycles are being broken. The true measure of success,” he says, “is when a student comes back 8 to 10 years later with their spouse and baby.” If you’re interested in helping Koinonia, they’re currently in need of Christmas present donations. Many of the kids have never received a Christmas gift, and Koinonia is committed to providing their teens with the best holiday ever.

t’s amazing to see kids come into our program with little to no hope and leave with promise and expectations,” says Bill Ryland, administrator at Koinonia Homes for Teens, a division of Koinonia Family Services, and the Crisis Resolution Center. Bill and his wife, Camilla, have worked for Koinonia Family Services – a premier foster and adoption agency headquartered in Loomis – for 25 years. The couple has always had a heart for teens; prior to working for Koinonia, they were the youth pastors at Calvary Chapel in Auburn. When they started at Koinonia they worked in the group homes; then in 1999, the clinic opened and the Crisis Resolution Center (CRC) was born. The CRC is a short-term residential clinic designed to reunify families in crisis. The program is offered to minors from the ages of 12-17, and the treatment comes at no cost to families residing in Placer County. The CRC offers teen, parent and family counseling. According to statistics on their Web site, the program has an 85 percent reunification rate. There are many stories of transformation from the program, many which can be found on Koinonia’s Web site. One of Ryland’s favorite success stories is about Jenay, a young woman who came to the CRC seeking help for meth addiction. Not only did the program help her

S
tudies suggest criminal telemarketers and scammers target seniors with calls, emails and in person. It’s no wonder because, on average, nearly one in five seniors fall for scams, which nets nearly $3 billion dollars each year for the bad guys. Bernie Madoff and his infamous Ponzi scheme left thousands of people penniless. Even some savvy investors got caught up in his web of lies. There are hundreds of thousands more just like them with the same goal: Live the good life on others’ hard-earned money. Many people have worked their whole life to save enough money for a comfortable retirement, and it’s unfortunate there are so many thieves now robbing them of their futures. The number one rule for anyone is to question and refuse any unsolicited request for personal information. Most worry they are being unkind to the person on the phone, but remember the National Association of Crime Preven30 stylemg.com - November 2012
tion’s motto: “It’s not rude – it’s shrewd!” “Although seniors are better informed and savvy, they can still be vulnerable,” says Russ Heimerich, a spokesperson for the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). “Everyone needs to be very wary and take precautions of any offers by telephone, online or at the door.” Always question anyone asking for your personal information. Email is also used by criminals for scams, since many seniors are online. Following are the top five scams identified by the DCA and tips to avoid being ripped off. 1. PHONE/EMAIL PHISHERS These folks are looking to steal your identity. Sounding professional, the caller often claims to be an officer of a company or bank. They may explain that your account has been compromised and you need to provide your personal account information to catch the criminal.
3. ILLICIT TELEMARKETERS These persistent criminals call and offer goods and services you don’t need and often at the most inappropriate times. TIP: Turn them off by registering your phone on the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov. 4. CONTRACTOR CRIME Someone will knock on the door and claim to be a contractor, say they were in the neighborhood and noticed something that needs immediate repair. TIP: Don’t believe them. If you have concerns, call a licensed contractor to take a look. 5. SWEEPSTAKES SWINDLES You get a call or email claiming you have won big – even though you don’t remember entering a contest or buying into a lottery. They ask you to send money to cover a fee for collecting your mystery millions. TIP: Hang up or hit delete. Don’t be a victim – ask questions, do your research and just say no.

party on! 4 Tips for Holiday Entertaining Success by Darren Elms
I
love the holidays, but I love entertaining even more. If you’re anything like me, playing the host with the most doesn’t always equal an enjoyable event. Getting wrapped up in the execution of the perfect party might keep you in the kitchen and not in the mix where you belong. Check out these four holiday party planning tips; a little careful consideration will allow you to be hospitable without being held hostage.
4. FANTASTIC FONDUE If you’re not doing a sit-down dinner, consider fondue for your guests to nibble on. Yes, it may strike memories of ABBA and Nordic sweaters, but it’s actually a lot of fun and fairly simple to
1. ONLINE INVITATIONS Although I really do enjoy a nice printed invitation, in the age of instant messaging and Facebook, I’ve adapted to the virtues of the online invite. Easy to create and even easier to keep track of RSVPs, I use them for all parties that don’t necessarily warrant a written announcement. I suggest two sites for creating lovely invitations. The first, evite.com, has been around for a while. You’ll find everything you need here at no cost. If you’re looking for something a little fancier and more formal, try paperlesspost. com. Some of the options will cost you a few dollars, but for specially lined, virtual envelopes, it just might be worth it.
We all can’t be superman or superwoman – occasionally you need help. Some people like to hire an extra hand in the kitchen, which is perfectly appropriate. I prefer to hire a bartender. If there’s one job that continually pulls you away from your friends, it’s tending the bar. One party, I spent all
evening mixing gin and tonics and I barely made it out of the kitchen to greet guests. Unacceptable! Hire a friend’s college-age son or daughter, or a professional, to come and create the concoctions for you.
3. KEEP IT SIMPLE A few favorite mixers and spirits go a long way. This year, spice it up with a seasonal garnish or flavor…it’s a simple crowd pleaser. If you’re on a budget, bottles of wine go far. Just separate the whites from the reds and let your guests have at it. I even put out a punch fountain one year, much to the delight of nostalgic company. It was a hit! 34 stylemg.com - November 2012
pull off. I like to give guests a few dipping options to choose from, like two cheeses and a chocolate. Look for recipes online and make selections based on your palate and time preference. You don’t even need one of those fancy fondue pots – any standard chafing tray with a couple sternos will work. I also use long wood sticks in place of the traditional prongs (forks). Surround your melted deliciousness with breads, fresh vegetables, fruits, cookies, marshmallows… whatever tickles your fancy. It’s easy to maintain and doesn’t require much supervision. Your guests will bow to your creativity. Cheers!

Zonk Salad
Submitted by Carol Chappell
Submitted by Margaret Snider • Strawberries • Sugar • Heavy whipping cream • Bacon • Eggs • Milk • French bread, sliced 1-inch thick • Maple syrup *Measurements will vary depending on the number of people eating. A couple of hours before breakfast, slice some fresh strawberries. Sprinkle with sugar to draw out the sweetness. If necessary, use frozen sliced strawberries, but doesn’t California always have fresh strawberries? Let them sit. With an electric beater, whip heavy whipping cream to fluffy firmness; add sugar to taste by
the spoonful, before it’s quite stiff. Refrigerate. Grill the bacon. Watch out, but not too closely, for little hands (or larger ones) sneaking in to grab. Place on paper towel-covered cookie sheet in 170-degree oven to keep warm. Break some eggs into a wide, shallow bowl (around an egg per person). Mix them with just a little milk. Slice loaves of French bread about 1-inch thick. Dip the bread slices in the egg and milk mixture, brown both sides on the grill, having removed the excess bacon grease, leaving enough for taste. Serve the golden brown French toast on individual plates; pass the strawberries (and any other fresh berries desired) and whipped cream to spoon over, along with hot maple syrup on the side.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour bundt pan. Sprinkle 1/3 of the topping in the pan.

Thanksgiving Thought: “Our family has been blessed by so many gifts, too many to name. I think about those who are walking the streets without a place to call home, those who have no food to put in their stomachs, and the mothers who have no place to lay their child’s head at night because their husbands have deserted them. It’s these moments when I am most thankful that I have a family who loves me, food in my stomach and a place to lay my head; I am most thankful for every single memory and experience that the good Lord has allowed me to enjoy!” —Kevin, Sherry and Monica Meyerhoff

Famous Chocolate Refrigerator Roll Submitted by Debra Linn; recipe from NabiscoWorld.com. Visit stylemg.com for a photo of this recipe! I love this recipe because my kids aren’t really big Thanksgiving pie eaters. When they were little, they loved being able to make this dessert, since all they had to do was stick a cookie on top of whipped cream; it was an easy and fun way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. Now that they’re grown up, they still love to make it – it reminds them of when they were kids. Do not use canned whipping cream – you have to make your own. So much better! • 2 cups whipping cream • 1 tsp. vanilla • 1 pkg. (9 oz.) Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

Iron Grill Korean BBQ

Red Hot by Megan Wiskus crab. Conversation ceased as our chopsticks battled for the last bite. For the mains, we feasted on two bowls of bibimbap, which translates to “mixed rice” and was recommended by our attentive, animated server.

and a fried egg sat atop a bed of steamed rice. After pouring the kochujang (red chili paste) into the mix, I twirled the dizzying array of ingredients together and eagerly dove in. The egg yoke provided a rich creaminess, while the veggies added a fresh and crunchy counterpart to the tender meat; a dusting of sesame seeds supplied a welcoming nuttiness. Sips of soju (Korean rice liquor) offset the spiciness. Homey and hearty, the dish left us satisfied but not stuffed. Predicted by food consultants Baum + Whiteman to become one of 2012’s food trends, Korean cuisine is red-hot (and not just in taste); after a meal at Iron Grill, it’s easy to see why: the flavors are punchy and robust, and the experience is uniquely unforgettable.

f variety is the spice of life, then Iron Grill is sizzling. From sushi to teriyaki bento boxes and Korean classics like bulgogi, plus noodle dishes and doit-yourself tabletop grilling – there’s something to light everyone’s fire. Chartreuse walls, pendant lighting, flat-screen TVs and decorative fish sculptures brighten the industrial-chic space, while lively background music adds an upbeat energy; the ambiance is as fun as the fare. For patrons opting to take part in the interactive barbecue experience – featuring all-you-can-eat meat, rice, salad, banchan (Korean side dishes) and sushi rolls – tables with gas grill are available. My plus one and I opted to let the kitchen do the cooking on our visit, and opened the meal with a Spicy Crispy sushi roll. Deep fried to a perfect crunch and slathered in saucy goodness, each morsel was oozing with cream cheese, spicy tuna, avocado and

Dijon mustard • 1 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning • 1/2 tsp. salt, optional
LOUIS LATOUR MÂCONVILLAGES CHAMEROY 2010 Many would call Maison Louis Latour the Kendall Jackson of France – they’ve been making wines for more than 200 years in this region and make hundreds of different varietals, ranging from $10 to $400 per bottle. Mâcon-Villages Chameroy is madeof100-percentChardonnay and represents a classic white Burgundy, which means it’s made with Chardonnay grapes from the Mâcon-Villages region in Burgundy, France. This area is known for producing grapes that impart a mineral flavor – from the 46 stylemg.com - November 2012
dinner date Food and Wine for the Season ground in which they grow – into the wine. French Chardonnays are not as fruit-forward as California Chardonnays; they’re crisper, and you can almost taste the earth where they’re grown. This wine is pale yellow in color and has a nose of white fruits. On the palate, it has a beautiful minerality and is clean and crisp; you can definitely taste the grape and terroir of Burgundy. Retailing at approximately $15 a bottle, this is a great wine to try to determine if you prefer French-style or the more fruit-forward, Californiastyle Chardonnays. The Mâcon-Villages Chameroy will pair nicely with this month’s Smoked Turkey and Apple Salad – a great combination to enjoy on a lovely autumn day! —Richard Righton Owner, Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom

snowy retreat Best of North & South Lake Tahoe by Barbara L. Steinberg

alifornians are blessed with so many winter holiday options, including Lake Tahoe’s spectacular North and South Shores. This stunning body of blue surrounded by Sierra Nevada peaks is the largest alpine lake in North America and serves as a mecca for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, foodies and lovers of mind-boggling scenic beauty. For families on the go and snow bunny beginners, Lake Tahoe resorts are waiting. Snowboarding lessons at Alpine Meadows
Downhill skiing or snowboarding may not be your obsession; thankfully, sledding, tubing, ice-skating, dog sledding, sleighing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are also offered throughout the region, not to mention helicopter tours. Or, simply kick back with a cup of hot chocolate – virgin or spiked – and breathe in the view. Many Lake Tahoe visitors come just for the scene and scenery. Adults: Leave the kids with the Lake Tahoe Sitters (laketahoesitters.com); offered in both North and South Shore, advance reservations are recommended.
UP, UP AND AWAY! Visitors soar to new heights and breathtaking vistas aboard Lake Tahoe trams, where they enjoy wintertime pleasures beneath snowcapped mountains. Squaw Valley’s Aerial Tram offers extraordinary views of Lake Tahoe. The tram carries riders 2,000 feet to High Camp, where visitors will enjoy skiing or relaxing at one of this year-round facility’s fabulous restaurants or lounges. You’ll also find the Olympic Heritage Museum and memorabilia from the 1960 Winter Olympics; admission is free with
your aerial tram ride. Ice-skating at the Olympic Ice Pavilion boasts superb views of the lake as well. The Gondola at Heavenly, located in Heavenly Village, also carries visitors 2,000 feet above Lake Tahoe year-round. But it’s not the thinner air that will take your breath away – it’s the views. Besides the spectacular panorama, amenities include restaurants, a cocktail lounge, accessory shop, skiing and an observation deck. Merely a half-block from the California-Nevada state line, the gondola is just steps from major lodging. From the California base, the Heavenly Tram is for skiers and riders only.
SNOWPLAY North or South Shore, there’s plenty of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing locales, including Hope Valley Outdoors, Tahoe Cross Country, and Royal Gorge. Rental companies can guide you to locations that aren’t organized. The Tahoe Super Pass offers one pass with accessibility to two resorts: Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley. A free shuttle lets you ski or snowboard both resorts in one day. Alpine Meadows’ latNovember 2012 - stylemg.com 51

mountain for a day on the slopes. Black Bear Hollow, the latest kids’ zone at the top of the gondola, features a meandering, low-angle skiing and riding trail with groomed whoop-de-doos, entry-level progression park features, small rails, gentle jumps and boxes designed to help youngsters improve. South Shore’s only outdoor ice-skating rink is located at Heavenly Village, and Ripperoo, Heavenly’s loveable mascot, leads a Saturday Snow Parade there through March 24. Sierra at Tahoe has fantastic familyoriented offerings: for $39, learn to ski or ride. Themed Adventure Zones are designed to educate and entertain. Blizzard Mountain – tubing and snow play – provides snow recreation for even the youngest snow lovers. The “Star Wars Experience” helps kids as young as 3 years old learn to ride; be sure to check
Lakeside Commons
est snowmaking advances deliver more snow and better surfaces. Partnering with Snow Park Technologies, Tahoe’s only mile-long terrain park opens this season, plus a beginner progression park and a new base jib arena with four new beginner boxes. Squaw Valley’s new Big Blue Express – a high-speed six-pack chairlift – gives skiers and riders access to beginner and intermediate terrain previously unreachable via the High Camp chairlift. Kids ages 6-12 will love the minisnowmobile course at the new SnoVentures Activity Zone. The Burton Learn to 52 stylemg.com - November 2012
Ride Center at both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows offers specially designed equipment for beginner snowboarders, both kids and adults. The Tahoe Value Pass offers one pass with entry to three resorts: Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood. Whether you ski or ride, it pays for itself in four days. Don’t miss the moonlight, stargazing and family snowshoe tours offered at Northstar. Heavenly Ski & Ride for kids is at the base of the gondola. Relinquish your kids at the ski school and then head up the

Moonlight snowmobile and paddlewheel boat tours, plus lakefront cabin rentals, make Zephyr Cove Resort your all-purpose destination. Just minutes away on the California side, the new Lakeview Commons provides lake access and picnicking options even in winter.

RATIONS Hunger seems to grow at higher elevations, and luckily, there’s no shortage of provisions on either shore. Locals suggest Red Hut – a family-style favorite for more than 50 years with multiple locations – serving marvelous breakfast and lunch fare. The Ski Run Boulevard location serves dinner with an ice cream fountain and soda jerks year-round. (Ask about the breakfast “usual.”) Himmel Haus, near the California Base Lodge, serves up German dinner delights and Base Camp Pizza, located at Heavenly Village by the skating rink, opened this past spring. Historic Downtown Truckee is full of distractions, including food. Best of all, it’s pedestrian friendly. Squeeze In is as popular as they come, especially for breakfast. Best Pies Pizzeria is New Yorkstyle, has a kids’ menu and Monday night football specials. Don’t miss the framed children’s art and creative kids’ menu at Dragonfly Restaurant & Sushi Bar! A new sweet-lovers essential, Cake Tahoe, is homemade to the core: think cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes, plus it’s home to local Tahoe Creamery’s gourmet ice cream. The California Welcome Center is also there to help guide your every move, seven days a week.
HIBERNATION Major resorts, condo and vacation home rentals, brand-name chains, and casinos provide every possible slumbering option including ski-in and ski-out. At Camp Richardson Historic Resort & Marina, cozy up in cabins, the historic hotel or a beachside inn. Marina Duplex and Richardson House are perfect for

groups, offering restaurants and a sports center, plus a lakefront vista. The family-oriented Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa has a private beach and multiple lodging choices – all with a full lake view, and within walking distance to dining, shopping and paddlewheel cruises. The Cedar House Sport Hotel has a grown-up feel, but kids love its hip vibe; not to mention, it’s exceedingly dog friendly and a full breakfast is included. Ask about snowshoe tours.

introducing Answers by Kelly Rue Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Roseville Brewing Company is a humble brewery that makes good beer and enjoys people. We represent the history of Roseville with our railroad theme. For a long time, the business had been a dream of mine and our head brewer, Brett, and life put us where we could follow that dream. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I’ve found brewing beer is a community thing. Nothing brings people together more than good conversations had over a beer. I love being a part of Roseville and hope to grow our community development into a larger role. We have been involved with several fundraisers and have many ideas on how we can create our own way to give back. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Kelly Rue and Brett Ratcliff I’m very proud of our growing brewery, being a good dad, becoming a Christian, and working hard at everything I do. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? Roseville Brewing My mother and father taught me the value of hard work; also, several teachers gave me Company Inc. insight on how to get things accomplished. 501 Derek Place, Suite 140 Where do you go when the going gets tough? Roseville First to God and second to the mountains – I love the serenity of the mountains and how it 916-783-2337 allows me to put things in perspective. rosevillebrewingcompany.com What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

Describe your business. Assisted Transition is a personalized elder care referral service for seniors and their families, specializing in assisted and independent living communities, residential care homes, Alzheimer’s and dementia communities, in-home care, skilled nursing facilities, hospice care, VA benefits, estate planning and much more. Where do you go when the going gets tough? My husband – he is my rock and the reason that I can do whatever I set my mind and heart to. Also, to church – we are not thankful enough for Bayside Church and the impact it makes on our lives and kids. What’s your biggest job perk? In the corporate world, I could never wear open-toed shoes, long necklaces or dangly earrings. Now I can wear those items every day if I want. I think I went more than a month without wearing socks when I changed to my new adventure! What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? If you asked any of my family or friends, they’ll tell you I am the reason Chipotle Mexican Grill is in business. We first found it years ago when we lived in Texas, and soon after we moved here, it came to this area. And finally, customer service is…? Customer service is something that has always come easy to me; understand the customers’ needs and take care of them. People want you to listen to them and be able to help solve their needs. I always try and put myself into their shoes and ask myself, “What would I want to happen?” Everything comes down to people; we all need people and if you have a heart to take care of them and do it right, you will get more and more people.
Do you know that our editorial is not paid for, nor can it be purchased? In fact, our Introducing and Dine reviews are not paid advertisements.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Royal Carpet and Window Cleaning is a family-owned business that provides service to commercial and residential customers for carpet, tile and window cleaning. My father, who began the business in 1946, taught me the trade; growing up, I worked for him and began to get accounts of my own. Since moving here 12 years ago, my wife and I have expanded the business in the Sacramento area. For carpet service, we use a truck mount system with a ROTOVac 360 for deep cleaning. For tile service, we provide grout sealing and deep tile cleaning with our Hydra Master machine. We also provide interior and exterior window and glass partition cleaning. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? My wife and I are actively involved with the community as coaches for the youth football and cheer programs. We spend a lot of time with our children this way, as Heather and John Hernandez well as volunteer in our community. This year, we’ll be contributing 10 percent of our proceeds from the year to our children’s school. Royal Carpet and What life accomplishments are you most proud of? My family. My wife and I have both worked hard to raise our children to be honest and Window Cleaning Lincoln compassionate people. It has been great seeing them grow into the people they are. 916-343-6567 Where do you go when the going gets tough? royalcarpetwindow.com My wife and I lean on one another for support. Working together you have to be able to laugh…even when things are tough. What’s your biggest job perk? Having a flexible schedule and doing something I enjoy; in addition, building a rapport with our customers is one of the best parts of my job. And finally, customer service is…? Our number one priority. We value our customers, and satisfied customers are the key to our success. Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I found it. I previously worked in corporate America, which I loved, but I really wanted something that allowed me to be more creative. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I’m very involved in my girls’ school, Diamond Creek Elementary, and serve on the PTC Board. In addition, I donate my time and photography services to a few local non-profit organizations. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Getting my degree in business administration at Chico State University, raising two amazing daughters that I couldn’t be more proud of, and being awarded “Best of” from WeddingWire and The Knot in 2012. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? My dad – he was self-employed and taught me the value of working hard. Where do you go when the going gets tough? To my scrapbooking room – it’s my sanctuary. If you could be any other profession what would it have been? I wouldn’t pick any other profession – I love what I do. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? That’s a hard question – we are total food junkies! On a date night, my husband and I love the atmosphere at Yard House, and the food is yummy too. What’s your favorite childhood memory? Christmas with my large, loud Italian family, where there’s great food and even better people. I love my family! And finally, customer service is…?

turkey talk Thanksgiving Dinner Disgust by Tom Mailey
66 stylemg.com - November 2012
with this much fanfare should be able to hold its own for flavor, kind of like a great singer doesn’t really need augmentation in the recording studio. But turkeys? They’re the Britney Spears of the food world, and they need all the auto-tuning they can get. Granted, there are cooking methods that supposedly bring a turkey’s natural flavors out, like deep-frying. But come on. You could deep-fry a shoe and it would taste good. I know; I had one at the fair last summer…on a stick. And there have been attempts over the years to make the main course more interesting, with perhaps the most famous being the fusing of three birds into one: I speak of course, of the famous “Turducken,” a frightening combination of turkey, duck and chicken that should just be called “Frankenturkey.” What’s
next? Combining hamburger, turkey and hot dogs into hamturdogs? Or how about steak, salmon and turkey into steamonkey? See? It quickly devolves into culinary crazy talk. Finally, there’s the Thanksgiving meal after-effect, which leaves you feeling more bloated than the balloons in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but not nearly as light and airy. Perhaps to justify the fact that it takes all day to prepare, the meal is consumed like no other. Words like heap, mound and pile become verbs to describe how plates get filled. Seconds, thirds and even fourths are not uncommon. One year I watched my brother-in-law, Alan, make it all the way to eighths. Then he exploded. Bellies strain, pant buttons pop, and with football on TV, uncles doze in a tryptophanic haze. For a moment, it seems the only thin people left in America are the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Luckily though, Thanksgiving really isn’t about the meal. Honestly – and I’m sure most of you feel the same – I would enjoy the holiday just as much with some chips and salsa, as long as the most important ingredient is still there: family. I would just make sure I got to the chip bag before my brother-in-law did.

s there anything in this country that requires more effort, consumes more of our time, and gives us so little in return than…no, not the presidential election. I’m talking about Thanksgiving dinner. I know it’s heresy for me to say, but I’m just not enamored with it, beginning with the visual appeal: Turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, rolls and pumpkin pie are all browns, tans and burnt oranges. Oh sure, you could say there’s a splash of color with cranberry sauce, but can congealed blood really be considered a color? As for the rest of it, my parents had a couch with the same color scheme back in the ’70s. I mean, even before they’re cooked, sliced and set on the dinner table, turkeys don’t exactly make angels sing when you spy them in the grocery store: Big frozen bird torsos tumbled atop one another in refrigerated bins, hermetically sealed in white plastic-like evidence from a particularly gruesome episode of CSI: Plymouth Rock (…and you know John Smith would be played by David Caruso, and he would wear stylish sunglasses that went well with buckled shoes). Put less dramatically, any food you can bowl with before it’s thawed should be cause for concern. Then there are the flavors. Most of the food, on it’s own, doesn’t have any. Think about it. That’s why there’s gravy, butter and salt. Now, I’m not knocking gravy, butter and salt. I’m a big fan of all three, especially when my Thanksgiving dinner is covered in them. You would think a meal
