The type of nuts varies by culture. Although customarily filled with walnuts or pistachios, some regions use hazelnuts or almonds. In Greece, traditional baklava contains 33 layers of dough, symbolic of the number of years of the life of Jesus Christ. Cinnamon and cloves are added in Armenia. Some soak the pastry with rosewater or orange flower water.

• Cream puffs are also known as profiteroles and choux a la crème. The pastry dough is piped through a pastry bag, then baked, forming a hollow puff. The puffs are then injected with whipped cream or custard before being decorated with chocolate sauce or powdered sugar. • The Austrians have also brought us Punschkrapfen, a pastry of cake crumbs, nougat chocolate, and apricot jam, which is then soaked in rum before baking. A rum sugar glaze tops it off drizzled with chocolate. This tasty delicacy dates back to its introduction in Vienna during the Middle Ages.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

More Great Reader Tips!

By Samantha Weaver

● It was noted German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who made the following sage observation: “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”

Sharing their super cool tips and tricks for how to save money on herbs, keep produce fresher longer, make buttermilk last longer, keep toys under control and more, my readers are the best! Finding your clever ways to save time and ® money makes opening my mail a treat! Keep ‘em coming, hear?

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* You might be surprised to learn that David Duchovny, best known for his role as Agent Fox Mulder in “The X-Files,” was just a dissertation away from being awarded a doctorate in English literature.

by Mary Hunt

ALIVE, GROWING AND CHEAPER, TOO! I went to the supermarket to pick up what I needed for a cocktail to bring to a BYOB pool party. One ingredient on my list was fresh mint. In the produce department, I noticed live plants in small starter pots for $2.50, including mint and basil. The plant was cheaper than the mint that was packaged and ready-to-use. I purchased the plant, which stayed perky and fresh for my cocktails at the party, and then brought it home to plant in a pot on my patio. I had fresh mint all summer long! I have done this before with basil, too, when I needed it for a recipe. -- Monica

* Did you know that the world’s most popular fruit is the banana? It’s true: In the United States, people consume more bananas than apples and oranges put together. * In 2009, a Saudi couple who had spent their honeymoon in Malaysia encountered difficulty on the return flight home. It seems that the groom felt the bride was taking too long in the airport restroom, so he boarded the flight back to Saudi Arabia before she did. When he allowed the plane to leave without her, she insisted on an immediate divorce.

STAINLESS STEEL, SILVER & FRESH PRODUCE I have found that keeping produce fresh long enough for it to be consumed can be quite a challenge. A large slice of fresh ginger (cut from the larger piece so that at least one surface is fresh-cut, but not peeled) in a bag of potatoes, oranges or apples slows spoilage. Stainless steel bowls have kept my veggies fresh for weeks. I keep romaine lettuce fresh for up to six

* Removing one’s wedding ring is considered to be a no-no by many. However, one superstition holds that doing so is perfectly acceptable -- as long as the ring is being used to ward off a witch.

weeks in stainless steel. I keep melons in the rind because the rind is a life-providing, life-extending protection to the inside. We are organic food eaters, so the produce we buy does not come coated with preservatives, making it twice as difficult to keep produce fresh for an extended period. Stainless steel naturally inhibits bacteria growth, as does silver. Early settlers put silver dollars in the bottom of their water barrels to kill life-threatening bacteria. It works the same in the bottom of a food storage bowl. These tips reallly do work! -- Deb DABS OF BUTTERMILK From time to time, I’ll use a recipe that calls for small amounts of buttermilk. I now buy a quart at a time, freeze it into ice cubes and keep them frozen until I need some. In my ice cube trays, eight ice cubes equal one cup, although yours might be different. -- Naomi QUICK TOY CLEANUP My son has lots of Legos. I love the creativity this kind of play encourages in him, but not the headache of picking all those toys up! Here is a simple solution that everyone should know about. I store a large tablecloth in the bin on top of the Legos. Lay down the tablecloth and dump the bin. My son understands he can spread out as far as the tablecloth. (Make it a sheet if you need more space.) When it’s time to pick up, grab the four corners of the cloth, dump the Legos in the bin and there you go -- all picked up! Thanks for all the great tips you and your readers share with us! -- Heidi * * * Mary invites questions, comments and tips at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.

first sign. Even up to 2 days, if they still get the cold it is milder than usual and they feel better. Users wrote things like, “It stopped my cold right away,” and “Is it supposed to work that fast?” Pat McAllister, age 70, received one for Christmas and called it “one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works.” Now thousands of users have simply stopped getting colds. People often use CopperZap preventively. Frequent flier Karen Gauci used to get colds after crowded flights. Though skeptical, she tried it several times a day on travel days. “Sixteen flights and not a sniffle!” Businesswoman Rosaleen says when people are sick around her she uses CopperZap morning and night. “It saved me last holidays,” she said. “The kids had colds going round and round, but not me.” Some users say it also helps with sinuses. Attorney Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache. When her CopperZap arrived, she tried it. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.” Some users say copper stops (paid advertisement)

nighttime stuffiness if used just before bed. One man said, “Best sleep I’ve had in years.” Copper may even stop flu if used early and for several days. Lab technicians placed 25 million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were alive soon after. People have used it on cold sores and say it can completely prevent ugly outbreaks. You can also rub it gently on wounds, cuts, or lesions to combat infections. Copper even kills deadly germs that are resistant to antibiotics. If you’ve been near sick people, a moment using it may keep serious infection away. It may even save a life. The EPA says copper still works even when tarnished. It kills hundreds of different disease germs so it can prevent serious or even fatal illness. CopperZap is made in the U.S. of pure copper. It has a 90-day full money back guarantee when used as directed to stop a cold. It is $69.95. Get $10 off each CopperZap with code TBCA9. Go to www.CopperZap.com or 1-888-411-6114.

It’s the largest living structure on the planet, the only one which can be seen from space. The reef was discovered in 1770 by English explorer Captain James Cook when his ship ran aground and became stuck on the reef. The Great Barrier is made up of 600 types of soft and hard corals, and is home to upwards of 100 species of jellyfish, 3,000 different mollusks, 1,625 varieties of fish, and 133 types of sharks and rays.

Dog Talk with Uncle Matty By Matthew Margolis

Creators News Service

Christmas Pups Cocaine and marijuana aren’t the only things being smuggled into the States from Mexico. Monday evening, border patrol officials in San Diego County stopped Raul Jimenez Gonzalez at the Tecate Port of Entry and, while discussing a bottle of tequila, saw something move in his back seat. The agents lifted a blanket and discovered 15 mixed-breed miniature poodles. All cute as the dickens. All sick as a dog. Most of the pups have parvovirus, which can be fatal -- and could have been prevented. According to reports, Jimenez Gonzalez told officers he was taking the puppies to Los Angeles to be sold as Christmas presents. This isn’t the first time he’s played Santa Claus. He was accused of smuggling 27 Christmas puppies in 2006 and 11 in 2007. Ho, ho, ho. Yes, Virginia, ‘tis the season for puppy smugglers, puppy mills and pet stores. The enormous demand for Christmas puppies baffles me. For most households, the season is louder, busier and more stressful than any other time of year: people coming and going, travel plans to arrange and accommodate, parties to host and attend. Not to mention an abundance of poisonous plants and shiny glass objects that are largely absent from the house the rest of the year. And outside -- where you and your young pup will be spending a lot of time -- it’s cold, gray, icy and snowing. None of this is conducive to the warm, stable environment in which a new puppy thrives. But when considered against the harsh realities of puppy trafficking and puppy mills, the demand for Christmas pups is more than perplexing. It’s reckless. San Diego Department of Animal Services Director Dawn Danielson commented on the market for smuggled puppies during the holiday season, saying, “Unfortunately, most of these puppies are sick. So the buyer ends up spending a great deal of money trying to save the puppy’s life, usually without success.” This is the reality for many pet-store and puppy-mill dogs and cats. The products of careless breeding with little to no regard for genetics, they Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

Taking Your Benefits at Age 62 Q:

In a recent column you said that most people retiring today are waiting until 70 to start their Social Security. But I read an article in USA Today quoting Social Security Administration statistics stating the majority of retirees take their Social Security at 62. Where did you get your information?

Yes, you are right and so is USA Today. What I meant to say in that column is that based on the emails I get, it seems to me that most people are waiting until 70. The vast majority of people who email me are asking questions about maximizing their Social Security benefits and that usually involves waiting until age 70 to claim the extra 32 percent in “delayed retirement credits” that are added to a person’s monthly Social Security check. So based on all those emails, I assumed the majority of seniors were doing the same. Obviously, I was wrong. And I wonder why I am hearing from the age 70 start-date group and not the age 62 startdate group. I’m guessing that those large numbers of people who start their Social Security at 62 don’t have many questions because their Social Security eligibility isn’t too complicated. On the other hand, readers who are into this maximizing business have all kinds of questions because the rules (which I’ve discussed hundreds of times in this column) can get a little complicated. Having said all that, I do occasionally hear from people planning to take their benefits at age 62 and the rest of today’s column will highlight their questions.

You aren’t due a payment for September. Here is why. Back in the 1980s, a conservative Congress was looking for ways to trim government spending. One of the ideas they came up with was a law that says you have to be 62 for an entire month before you can get your first Social Security check. Because you were not age 62 for the entire month of September, you can’t get a check for that month.

Q: I plan to start my Social Security

benefits at age 62. Will that decision affect my wife’s eventual widow’s benefit?

Yes, it will. The reduction you take in your retirement benefits will carry over to any widow’s benefits payable to your wife -- with a bit of a twist. At age 62, you are going to get 75 percent of your full Social Security benefit. Let’s say your wife is over age 66 when you die. (It’s too messy to try to explain the reduction factors for a widow who is under age 66.) There is a law that says a widow over age 66 cannot get less than 82.5 percent of your full benefit. So she’ll actually get a 7.5 percent bump in benefits when you die. If you wait until you are 66 to claim your benefits, you would get your full (100 percent) benefit

As prices for feeding and care continue to rise, humane societies and animal services are struggling more than ever to stay afloat and accommodate the influx of abandoned pets. If a dog lover has their heart set on a Christmas canine, shelters, rescues and responsible breeders should be the place where they do their shopping. But let me offer this one suggestion for those who are on the fence. The perfect Christmas gift for the person -- especially a little person who is eager to get a dog --- is a gift box filled with books about breeds, DVDs on training, and a leash, a collar, a blanket and a few toys for the pup you’ll begin looking for after the holidays.

Both heart and liver effects are very mild except in people who already have disease of these organs. The role of vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone, is complex. Initial inhibition of ADH leads to an increase in urine production, then an increased level of the hormone, which can lead to water and salt retention and swelling. M.D.

ANSWER: The physiology of alcohol is complex, with potentially adverse effects on the heart, the liver and on secretion of anti-diuretic hormone. All of these can affect swelling. However, it is entirely possible, and probably more likely, that it is a combination of travel and increased sodium intake that is responsible for your most recent swelling.

Porcelain Bowl Is a Treasured Gift Q:

This is a photo of an antique bowl that was given to me by a friend. Because I had admired it several times, my friend gave it to me. It is decorated with pastel flowers, gold trim and a white background. The flowers in the center look as though they form the letters “M” and “A.” Marked on the back is a shield with the words and letters “Bavaria -- C -- S -- A.” The bowl measures about 8 inches in diameter and is over 2 inches high. It is in excellent condition. It is a treasured gift from a good friend. I would never part with it but would like to learn more about the maker, age and value.

Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory was founded in 1881.

You have a Dresden-type porcelain re ticulated bowl. It was made by Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory in Arzberg, Bavaria, Germany. The factory was founded in 1881 and closed in 1996. The mark you described was used from 1900 to 1913. Late 19th and early 20th Dresdenstyle porcelain was inspired by porcelain made in the 1700s by Saxon Porcelain Manufactory located in Germany. Schumann produced a plethora of whitebody porcelain decorated with delicate multicolored flowers, gold trim and often with reticulated/ pierced borders.

Largest Cities (from page 3) the city’s Metro every day. Mexico City is a sinking city. Sinking about four inches every year, it has sunk as much as 32.8 feet in the last 60 years. • Delhi, India is the world’s second-largest urban area with close to 26.5 million people. It has been inhabited since at least 600 B.C. It’s estimated that 18 billionaires and 23,000 millionaires live in this city. Four years ago, the city was ranked as the most polluted in the world, with the deaths of 10,500 people every year attributed to air pollution alone. But environmental steps taken since then have improved it to sixth place. Of the world’s ten most polluted cities, nine are in India. • Tokyo, Japan is the world’s largest city, with 38.1 million people. Tokyo was first settled as a small fishing village named Edo. Around the year 1500, there were just a few thousand people, but by the early 1700s, Edo had grown to one million residents. In 1868, when the Japanese imperial family moved there, it became the capital city, and was renamed Tokyo, which translates to “Eastern Capital.” •
