Oranges seem to compliment any number of foods so can be used in a variety of ways for a wide range of menu choices… literally from soup to dessert… oranges provide a flavor to savor. Oranges also provide an excellent color accent to the table… in salads; as garnish to fish, chicken or pork; and, of course, desirable nutritional elements. Oranges are also easy to buy, store and use. One tip: for grated orange rind, use the new microplane or a box-style grater or shredder using only the orange part of the rind. The white...

Oral health begins before children start teething. Parents should establish positive dental habits early to ensure their children’s teeth are healthy. Paying attention to a child’s oral health early can prevent problems down the road such as chronic pain, impaired chewing and speech development and reduced concentration and self-confidence. A landmark study by the Dental Health Foundation found dental disease to be the number one children’s health problem in the state, although it is almost entirely preventable. First 5 Cal...
Why are refined carbohydrates bad for me? When carbohydrates are refined, nearly all of the vitamins, minerals and fibers are removed, leaving only calories. Certain products like flour and sugars are refined and then “enriched,” meaning that only certain nutrients removed in the refining process are added back into the product. In white flour, the kernel of the grain is processed to remove the germ portion. This removes about 33 nutrients. “Enriching” adds four to six nutrients back into the product. This creates the nut...

VISTA — Can two vastly different men share an apartment without driving each other crazy? That’s the question Neil Simon’s play answers in one of the funniest comedies of all time. It has been almost 42 years since Simon made “The Odd Couple” a hit Broadway show, and the characters of Oscar (the slovenly, amiable sportswriter) and Felix (the fussy hypochondriac) part of popular culture. Based upon the real-life experience of Simon’s older brother Danny, the premise is simple: two men - “one divorced and one estranged and...

Napa cabbage isn’t from Napa. I discovered that while dining at Carol’s Restaurant at the Baily Winery in Temecula. One of the two entrees I sampled was a delicious “Charbroiled Salmon Filet” which was listed on the menu as “A fresh Atlantic salmon filet grilled with a hint of lime and served on a Napa cabbage salad with an oriental sesame dressing.” I assumed, this being a winery restaurant, that the Napa cabbage was grown in Napa Valley. However, I was told that Napa cabbage is actually a Chinese cabbage that is known fo... Full story

“I can’t thank you enough,” Dorothy Roth said, her voice trembling. Against a mountaintop backdrop of spectacular views, she stood before a group of volunteers at her home site on February 10, five years to the day the Gavilan Fire swept through De Luz Canyon, taking with it 43 homes, including hers. All the homeowners were able to rebuild, except Roth. Around her, now swept into neat piles of rubble, lay the remains of her home. By afternoon it would be gone, the pad scraped clean by her friends, and for the Roth family, tha... Full story

Before moving to Arkansas to be near Diane’s family, the couple set up the award to recognize a member who has given outstanding service to the club during the year. The ele...
