cDonald’s revealed the Frork, a quasi-utensil designed to scoop up the quality ingredients that may fall while eating a new Signature Crafted Recipes sandwich. The term Frork combines the words “fry” and “fork.” McDonald’s recently rolled out its Signature Crafted Recipes sandwiches, which feature premium ingredients and unique flavor combinations, including Pico Guacamole, Sweet BBQ Bacon and Maple Bacon Dijon. Each sandwich is served with toppings for customers to enjoy, even when they fall out. McDonald’s is tackling this so-called dilemma with the Frork, a silicone fork-shaped utensil topped with an opening where the customer can insert three to four fries. The fries become the prongs of the Frork. “We started with All Day Breakfast, updated our Chicken McNuggets, offered new Mac sandwich sizes for every occasion and now we’re introducing Signature Crafted Recipes because they are inspired by our customers,” said McDonald’s chef Michael Haracz. The Frork works with all three new Signature Crafted Recipes — premium sandwiches that

‘PRACTICAL’ POTTER CYNTHIA & ED JUSTUS SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY
F
eel like throwing something? Put it to good use and “throw” some clay! Making pottery is one of the oldest creative forms dating back 35,000 years. That means if you take up a piece of clay and form something—anything — you are carrying on what our ancestors did generations and generations ago, long before civilization ever existed! Pretty neat, yeah? And there are many talented ceramic artists right here on Kauai! (Hi, Keith!) Regardless of whether you don’t
know the first thing about creating pottery or you are already an experienced potter, “The Practical Potter: A Step-by-Step Handbook” by Josie Warshaw, is well-worth the read! With 256 full-color pages, “The Practical Potter” covers every single area of the art of turning clay into whatever your mind can imagine. Not only are we treated to a brief history of ceramics and a fascinating introduction to clay (the fundamental ingredient), there are six bountiful chapters devoted to the following: Design, Handbuilding, Making and Using Molds, Throwing, Glaze and Decoration, and Kilns and Firing. In addition, there are sections discussing chemical formulas, and even suggestions on how to sell your work! With these subjects, “The Practical Potter” gives you every lesson and tool you need to discover the artistic talents that lie within you! A vase for Valentine’s? A dining set? No problem! How ‘bout a monster drinking-mug for your honey? You got it! Or a romantic pottery-making

date? (“Ghost”, anyone?) Yeah! A multi-colored rendering of a half torso with pelican wings and frog-fingers? Hey, there is a way! The more you know, the possibilities become endless! There is perhaps nothing more rewarding than seeing your own creativity and ideas realized in a physical form. It is an experience like no other. So, pick up the book, pick up some clay, and watch what happens! ••• Ed and Cynthia Justus are owners of The Bookstore in Hanapepe.

DENNIS FUJIMOTO TGIFR!DAY
RELAY FOR LIFE
Sherry Abigania Matthews, a homegrown mother from Waimea, said fighting cancer is a celebration of life. Matthews, now stationed with the military in Montana, said the Relay for Life celebrates the triumphs of survivors, herself being tested as cancer-free in March. The American Cancer Society Relay for Life hosted hundreds of people and 41 teams to an overnight event at the Hanapepe soccer fields, adjacent to the Hanapepe Stadium. Taking on a theme of Disney, the teams coordinated displays and costuming while offering specialty items which raise funds toward the $237,000 goal. “Today is a special day because it is Robert ‘Bob’ McDermott’s birthday,” said Leona McDermott-Sa. “Robert is a two-time cancer survivor and it’s his birthday, today. The American Cancer Society celebrates birthdays.”
