DIVAS ON A DIME

From veggie haters to flavor celebrators: The secret to loving vegetables

BY PATTI DIAMOND n the realm of family meals, convincing everyone to enjoy their veggies can be a challenge. We all know that incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables into your diet is crucial for optimal nutrition, providing essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support overall health and well-being. They’re the champions in the fight against chronic diseases and are known to boost energy levels, making us feel fabulous from the inside out. Even if you think you’re not on speaking terms with veggies, it’s time to make peace. Several factors can contribute to reluctance, especially among kids, when it comes to eating vegetables: Texture Aversion: Some individuals, especially children, may be sensitive to the textures of certain vegetables, finding them off-putting. Bitterness Perception: Children may have heightened sensitivity to bitterness, which is common in certain vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Familiarity and Exposure: Lack of exposure and familiarity with a variety of vegetables can lead to resistance. Familiarity often breeds acceptance. Influence of Peer Preferences: Children can be influenced by the preferences of their peers, and if their friends aren’t

enthusiastic about veggies, it might impact their own attitude. Parental Role-Modeling: If parents aren’t regularly incorporating vegetables into their meals, children may be less inclined to embrace them. Negative Associations: If veggies are often presented as a punishment or something unpleasant, it can create negative associations. Addressing these factors through creative and positive approaches, like introducing veggies in various dishes and involving kids in meal preparation, can contribute to a more veggie-friendly attitude. But what if there’s a hidden reason behind the reluctance? Enter “super tasters,” individuals with ultra-sensitive taste buds. Yes, being a super taster is indeed a scientifically recognized phenomenon. Super tasting is associated with having a higher density of taste buds, specifically fungiform papillae on the tongue. These individuals are more sensitive to various tastes, especially bitterness, which can impact their food preferences. Understanding this can be crucial when encouraging super tasters to embrace a wider variety of flavors. Elevate veggie appeal for super tasters by pairing veggies with bold flavors like garlic, herbs or spices, adding dips and sauces; also, through techniques like blanching, sauteing or grilling, culminating in my favorite

method: roasting. Roasting caramelizes natural sugars enhancing sweetness, exemplified in recipes like Charred Broccoli with Almonds and Cranberries.

CHARRED BROCCOLI WITH ALMONDS AND CRANBERRIES Yield: 5 servings

Total Time: 20 minutes 10 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds) 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/3 cup skin-on sliced almonds 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 172 teaspoon granulated garlic) 2/3 cup whole-milk plain yogurt 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins Position an oven rack in second to lowest position; preheat broiler to high. In a large serving bowl, toss broccoli with 2 tablespoon olive oil and salt. Spread evenly onto a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast the broccoli until it reaches a delightful tenderness, with a touch of char in spots, for 10 to 20 minutes, adjusting based on your broiler’s intensity. Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet, over medium-low heat, toast the almonds until fragrant. To the same skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and garlic. Stir frequently until the mixture gently browns, approximately 5 minutes.

For the butter topping: 1/4 Cup unsalted butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon dried thyme 1/2 Cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for greasing baking dish 1/2 Cup (60g) all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Prepare the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent and softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the butter, stirring constantly to melt. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it has adhered to the mixture and no clumps remain, about 2 minutes.

3 Cups chicken broth 1 Cup heavy cream

Make the gravy and add the vegetables and chicken:

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 (15-ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 8 Cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken (about 2 pounds)

Gradually add the broth, about 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly until thickened and smooth, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper until incorporated. Stir in the mixed vegetables and chicken. Remove from the heat. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Set aside. repare the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Toss in the cold butter pieces and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly and the butter pieces are pea-sized.

For the biscuit topping: 2 Cups (255g) all-purpose flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Stir in the buttermilk and cheddar cheese until no pockets of dry flour remain, using your hands if needed. Drop 12 (1/4-cupfuls) of dough evenly on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 Cup whole buttermilk, chilled, plus more if needed 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 Cup)

Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, a toothpick inserted in biscuit centers comes out clean, and the cobbler is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pan from front to back halfway through the bake time. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. While cobbler bakes, stir together the melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush the warm biscuit topping with the butter mixture and serve hot.

SALOME’S STARS

KOVELS ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s better to get an explanation of a colleague’s behavior first, rather than trying to guess at the motive. Speculation can never replace facts. What you learn could lead you to reconsider some of your plans. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The practical Bovine wants to see some substantive changes in a situation that just doesn’t feel right. You might want to help move things along by offering up some suggestions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be of two minds about a situation that seems to fit your needs, but might make more demands than you’re ready for. Use both your head and heart to reach a decision. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t blame yourself if you can’t figure out that puzzling workplace situation. You might not have enough facts to work with yet. Do more research and ask more questions.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week to catch up on matters that couldn’t be completed during the hectic holiday season. It’s also a good week to reach out to any new friends you made over the holidays.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A negative reaction to a request could be misunderstood. Make sure that your reasons for saying “no” are clear. Also, be open to changing your mind if more facts come through.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The “security” of doing things the usual way should be balanced against the possible benefits of moving into a new direction. Also, work quickly to avoid a possible family misunderstanding.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A personal matter requires attention and might lead to a surprising revelation. Meanwhile, the new year could bring some long-anticipated changes to the workplace. Kovels.com

The art deco period began about 100 years ago and has not lost its appeal. This geometric cabinet with wood veneers is an example of the style.

Art Deco

The legal definition of an antique is that it is at least 100 years old. This means the art deco era is officially reaching antique status. The name “art deco” is believed to come from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) in Paris in 1925, but the style already existed by the time of the exhibition. World War I is generally considered the end of the art nouveau period and the beginning of art deco. People were moving into smaller homes and wanted inexpensive furniture where form followed function. The new machinery, manufacturing techniques and

materials of the time lent themselves to the sleek geometric shapes that define the era. This cabinet, made in Italy in 1934, shows characteristics of art deco style. It is constructed from smooth, simple shapes in veneers, acrylic and lacquered wood. Decorations are contained within the cabinet’s shape. Instead of ornate carvings, the cabinet has burl veneer, bands and squared spirals of dark wood. The cabinet sold for $2,322 at a Cowan’s auction.

Actor Ryan O’Neal (1941-2023)

*** Q: My son was in a book club in the late 1950s-early 1960s. They had the first editions of Dr. Seuss books. The books are in good condition. Are they worth anything? A: Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote more than 60 children’s books under the name Dr. Seuss. Some of his most famous books were written in the 1950s and ‘60s and continue to be the most popular children’s books in the world. Identifying Suess’s first edition books is a challenge. The publishers did not explicitly print “First Edition” but printed a copyright date. There are experts who can help identify books that may be valuable first editions. Recent high-priced books are “And to Think I Saw

it on Mulberry Street,” Horton Hears a Who,” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” They have recently sold from $300 to $2,400. *** TIP: Brown shoe polish is good to cover scuffs and slight damage on furniture. *** CURRENT PRICES Salt and pepper shakers, ceramic, Rockingham glaze, architectural planter form, two cones end-toend, marked “Genuine Rockingham, Cook/Serve by Tackett,” LaGardo Tackett, 1960s, 5 in. x 2 3/4 inches, diameter, $55.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new friendship seems to hold less promise than you previously thought. But make no assumptions one way or another without having an open and frank talk first.

(December CAPRICORN 22 to January 19) Your creative input could lead to changes in the workplace. Even if some colleagues disapprove of your efforts, stay the course. You’re heading in the right direction.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While this week is mostly positive, a few negative factors might arise. It’s best to deal with them before they create problems that can jeopardize some of your later efforts.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might feel like you have all the facts and support that you need to deal with a longdeferred situation. Good for you! Once the matter is finally settled, you can move on. BORN THIS WEEK: You are a sincerely generous person who never has to be asked to do something nice for others.

was the most likable and friendly guy to everyone. He passed on Aug. 26, 2023, at 99. My friendship with “All My Children’s” Nick Benedict started in 1973 and continued as he went on to star in “Days of Our Lives,” in 1993. He was such a regular guy and a blast to hang out with. He left us on July 14, 2023, at 77, due to complications from surgery. In 1971, I was assigned to accompany Chaim Topol on his Hollywood press tour for “Fiddler on the Roof.” He was a natural choice to play Tevye in “Fiddler.” It was as if Tevye was with us every step of the way; he was so much like him in real life. He left us on March 8, 2023, at 87. I became friendly with Suzanne Somers when her manager, Jay Bernstein (who also managed Farrah Fawcett), hired me to photograph her extensively. She was always pleasant, professional and a lot of laughs to be around. But she also could turn on “the business woman” side of herself when she had to and be tough! She was still as beautiful as ever when she left us on Oct. 15, 2023, at 76. Finally, I met Ryan O’Neal when I was only

14. He was at NBC in New York promoting his upcoming show “Empire,” starring Richard Egan. I walked him to his hotel, and he asked what I wanted to be. I said, “An actor like you.” He was encouraging. In 1967, just before he starred in the series “Peyton Place,” I ran into him at The Daisy club, and he remembered me and asked, “Did you make it yet?” I replied, “If I had, would you have to ask?” It was then that I decided to become a photojournalist! He left us on Dec. 8, 2023, at 82, but I’m still here to tell my tales!

HOLLYWOOD BY TONY RIZZO HOLLYWOOD -George Clooney will costar with Adam Sandler in an untitled Netflix film, but definitely says “no” to playing Batman ever again, despite Clooney turning up as Bruce Wayne at the end of “The Flash” (2023). He confessed that the chances of him playing Batman again are less then slim to none. “I don’t think there are enough drugs in the world for me to go back!” he remarked. *** Another who also thinks he’s done playing his superhero, Aquaman, beyond “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is Jason Momoa, who admitted that the new DC bosses are shifting their focus as they “start their new thing up.” He continued, “The truth of it is ... I mean, if the audience loves it, then there’s a possibility.” Considering the first “Aquaman” grossed $1.152 billion against its $200 million cost, DC would be crazy to replace Momoa! *** Looking back one last time at 2023 and the friends we’ve lost brings to mind Bob Barker at Depositphotos CBS, where he taped “The Price Is Right.” He

CELEBRITY EXTRA BY DANA JACKSON Q: How is Jeremy Renner doing since his terrible leg injury? Is he going to continue acting soon? -- D.N. A: Fortunately, two-time Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner will be able to work again after nearly losing his life this past year after being run over by a snowplow on his property. He suffered injuries to his chest and limbs, but has since made a substantial recovery. He recently appeared on CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” show and told hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper that he’s due back on the set of his Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown.” He said that he had a lot of loved ones to live for, including his 10-year-old daughter and the nephew he saved from being hit by the snowplow in his driveway. In addition to acting, Renner is releasing a song called “Wait” that is

dedicated to his daughter. It’s the first single from his upcoming EP, “Love and Titanium,” which will be released on Jan. 19. *** Q: When is the “Game of Thrones” spinoff about Jon Snow coming out? I read a while back that Kit Harington will once again be playing the character. Is this still happening? -- A.P. A: According to Casey Bloys, CEO and chairman of HBO, there are several “GoT” spinoff series in development, but none is “close to a green light or anything ... but we are always working on different scripts and ideas.” That doesn’t sound too promising, but an article on TVLine assures us that a series based on Jon Snow starring Kit Harington is one of those projects “in the works.” Meanwhile, “House of the Dragon,” a “GoT” prequel series, will be back on HBO for its second

season this summer. One of the characters from that show is being given his own series -- Corlys Velaryon, played by Steve Toussaint. Titled “Nine Voyages,” the series was originally going to be liveaction, but will now be animated due to the “budgetary constraints” involved in filming a show that takes place at sea with “different ports each week.” “GoT” author and “House of the Dragon” creator George R.R. Martin says that there are actually three additional animated series in the works. He added: “There’s a whole world out there. And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation.” *** Q: Why did “Jeopardy” get rid of Mayim Bialik as one of the hosts? She was my favorite. -- Y.T. A: Mayim Bialik was dealt a double blow this past year. Her latest sitcom, “Call Me Kat,” was

canceled by Fox after three seasons, and she also lost her job as co-host of the popular syndicated game show “Jeopardy.” According to TV Insider, Sony claimed that the decision to fire her was to “maintain continuity” for viewers by only having one host -- Ken Jennings. However, rumor has it that Sony wasn’t happy with her when she refused to host the show during the writers’ and actors’ strikes. Hopefully, she’ll be returning to our screens soon. She’s reportedly been working on a reboot of “Blossom,” the sitcom that launched her career in the ‘90s.
