Hanuka or Hanukkah or

Chanukah (spell it any-

way youd like there

is no one right way to spell a

Hebrew word that contains a

sound not found in English) isthe Jewish Festival of Lights.

Many mistakenly think that it is

the Jewish Christmas, but that is

not the case; other than occur-

ring at the same time of the year

and involving gift-giving, these

two holidays have nothing to do

with each other.

So what is Hanukah? The

word Hanukah actually trans-

lates to dedication and it

recalls the miraculous militaryvictory of the pious Macabees

over the Hellenists who were

restricting Jewish life in ancient

Israel. When the Macabees won,

they rededicated the temple in

Jerusalem to the service of God,

hence the name of the holiday.

There is a legend that as the

Macabees prepared the temple,

they found only one cruise of oil

fit to be used to light the

Menorah for one day, but that

they lit it anyway and it miracu-

lously burned for eight days until

more oil was available for the

Menorah. This is why Hanukah

is known as the Festival of

Lights and is commemorated

with the lighting of a

Hanukiyah, a nine-branched

candelabra to commemorate the

eight-day holiday.

The annual observance of

Hanukah reminds us to remain

dedicated and true to God. The

light of the Hanukah candles

reminds us that miracles can

happen. Recalling the Macabees

reminds us of the importance of

fighting for what we believe in,

for religious freedom. As

Americans, we have much to be

grateful for we live in a free

nation that promotes religious

tolerance, but with freedom

comes responsibility. We need to

support our troops that defend

these freedoms around the

globe. We need to help those

who live in other parts of theworld that do not have these

freedoms, most notably many

African nations. And we need to

share the bounty that is ours

with those less fortunate here in

our own communities.

Hanukah is a home-based

holiday that gives us the oppor-

tunity to gather with family and

friends to celebrate, to remem-

ber and like the Macabees

to try to make a difference, eventhough the odds are overwhelm-

ingly against us. May the light of

the Hanukah candles motivate

you to make a difference and

may 2013 be a year of health,

happiness and peace for one

and all.

People engage the advice

and expertise of a retire-

ment and estate plan-

ning specialist to better serve

themselves, their spouses and

their families financially. It is

my goal in this column to help

the readers of Life and

Leisure circumvent the pot-

holes that line the financial

road by answering the ques-

tions that you or your neigh-

bors have about the task of per-

sonal financial management.

When weve used up the allot-

ment of days given to us by

God, most people would

choose to endow their loved

ones with as much wealth as

possible to lessen the financial

burden of their journey

through life. For me as a father

of four, this component of

proper retirement and estate

planning is the most urgent

matter.

My children were born

into a much different America

than I was one with fewer

opportunities for success and

with a greater cost to prosper

and survive. I find it impera-

tive to do my best to provide

for my kids future to the best

of my ability. In addition, the

challenge to provide for ones

own financial future, resulting

in a golden retirement, has

become a struggle for more and

more people approaching 65

today. The fastest growing seg-

ment of our population is peo-

ple over 90! There are tens of

thousands of people exceeding

age 100 and the insurance

industry mortality table nowextends to age 121 imagine

that! A great deal of people

will outlive their money, but

not if they own longevity

insurance! Ever heard of it?

Education pertaining to

profitable retirement planning

never materialized in the pub-

lic school system, probably

because they couldnt find

qualified people to teach the

classes. But, they can teachstudents how to conjugate a

verb in four languages and

make at least two years of for-

eign language studies a require-

ment, when the only foreign

language that is necessary to

master is spelled M-O-N-E-Y!

Money management must be a

mandatory course in high

school. The fact that it isnt in

the majority of school systems

amazes me! Therefore, everyhigh school graduate must get

the necessary financial educa-

tion somehow and somewhere

else in order to survive!

December begins the gift-

giving season. I would like to

suggest the perfect universal

gift that no one I know has

ever been unhappy with or

returned. The perfect gift

wouldnt break the budget, yet

it would offer a level of securi-

ty and peace of mind that has

no equal. What Im describing

is financial security through

the purchase of, or upgrade to,

your current life insurance pol-icy. A properly designed policy

can offer many benefits to both

the owner and the beneficiar-

ies, today and in the future. It

can be designed with one sin-

gle premium or funded annual-

ly over a period of years. The

policy would offer tax-free

accumulation of cash, access to

the cash in the event of an

emergency, a tax-advantaged

retirement income for theowner and ultimately, a tax-

free death benefit for the bene-

ficiaries. It truly is the gift that

keeps on giving and has some

amazing unparalleled opportu-

nities.

My advice is to take a

moment to call and ask me

how the magic of life insur-

ance can benefit all of the

people on your gift-giving list.

Destruction and loss

does not have tocome twice Azrak

& Associates can help protect

you

Hurricane Sandy came

upon us like a thief in the

night, robbing us of power,

light, heat, electricity and all

those precious things we take

for granted. For many of us,

the storm broke into our

homes, wrecked them and

destroyed valuable contents,just like a brutal and deter-

mined thief.

Hurricane Sandy has

escaped, but coming behind

her destruction is the certain-

ty that others lie in wait to

pounce upon and further hurt

the victims of Sandy. These

are thieves of another sort:

people who seek to prey uponthe weak and weary, victims of

the storm who are in desper-

ate need of repair services as

they try to get their lives and

property back to normal.

For those needing con-

struction services, here is

some advice: although many

contractors are reputable,

when there is a disaster there

are simply not enough compa-

nies to service the consumers.This is the time that unethical

contractors will solicit you.

We at Azrak &

Associates can help you if you

are considering doing business

with a known or unknown

contractor with an offer of

materials or services for home

and property repair, recon-

struction and restoration

work. Do not proceed or pay

any money in advance with-

out a written contract, andhave that contract reviewed

by our office. At the same

time we have the ability to

research suits against contrac-

tors for fraud or failure to per-

form the promised work.

It is times like these

when people are most vulner-

able and desperate to get their

lives and homes and property

back to normal. They are most

likely to be victimized by

unscrupulous contractors

tempted to take advantage ofthe situation by charging too

much, promising too much,

and delivering too little or

nothing at all.

In addition, you can be

in need of our services to work

through the complex issues of

your insurance coverage. We

expect arguments by insur-

ance companies and their

attempt to exclude damages

including property damage

and vehicle damage. To pre-

serve their cash reserves, yourhomeowners insurance or

flood insurance company may

attempt to claim that cover-

age is denied and force you to

deal with federal agencies

when, in fact, it should pay

the claim.

We can help to make sure

that your storm losses are not

added to by either unethical

contractors or complex exclu-

sions of insurance policies that

may not be applicable to you.

Call 973-839-9062 for a freeconsultation and to discuss

your situation. It might be all

you need to avoid confronting

another thief in the night.

Tooth sensitivity affects

most of us during our

lifetime. It can be a

temporary, intermittent symp-

tom indicating dentin hyper-sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity

can also be a prolonged, chron-

ic problem indicating perma-

nent nerve (pulp) damage to

the tooth.

A reversible pulpit, as

described in part three, is a

short, temporary, sharp pain

that stops when cold or heat is

removed from the tooth. Manypatients have felt similar sensi-

tivity when theyve had a

deep filling or crown (cap)

placed on or in the live tooth.

This temporary inflammation

can last a few weeks, and in

many cases, Advil, ibuprofen,

Aspirin, or other over-the-counter anti-inflammatories

relieve the pain quickly. When

medication does not help, or

there is irreversible pulpitis

with serious, permanent dam-

age to the pulp, the best treat-

ment is to remove the nerve

during a root canal treatment.

This treatment may save the

tooth indefinitely whenrestored with a crown.

Unfortunately, the only other

way to treat a tooth that has

abscessed is to remove it.

Nowadays, the constant

use of teeth whitening products

may be dangerous to the health

and sensitivity of a tooth in thefuture. Whitening products,

whether-over-the-counter or

given by a dental professional,

end up dehydrating the water

in the dentinal tubules. This is

a side effect of whitening.

Constant use of these products

can cause permanent dentin

hypersensitivity, pulp damage,

and brittle teeth in later years.

There are very few studies that

back up this statement, but it isthe new hot topic in the dental

profession.

Treatment of dentin

hypersensitivity is done in vari-

ous ways. They all act to close

or to block the dentinal

tubules. The sensitivity tooth-

paste Sensodyne contains

potassium nitrate, which

appears to act on the nerve,

blocking its pain signal to the

brain. Other treatmentsinclude fluoride, varnish,

GLUMA, dental resins or

adhesives (bonding), lasers, fill-

ings, and calcium hydroxide.

All of the above treat-

ments are available in my office

and may be used according to

each individuals necessity.

Tooth sensitivity is a com-

mon problem when it persists.It should not be ignored. Call

us today if you are finding that

tooth sensitivity is bothering

you.

Most people who are

talking about or

inquiring about cat

urination behavior are having

some undesirable issues at

home. No one really discusses

this when his kitty is using the

litter box as it should. Its when

it starts doing its business right

outside the litter box, on the

couch, or on your laundry in

the bottom of the closet that it

becomes a concern.

Believe it or not, if you are

troubled with house-soiling,

you are certainly not alone.

This is the most common

behavioral problem that cat

owners have to deal with.

Interestingly, many people

think that its for revenge.

Well, contrary to popular

belief, its not all about you! It

could be completely coinciden-

tal that your cat urinated on

the carpet at the same time you

decided to go away for a few

days. Then again, maybe the

neighbor you had watching it

forgot to give it its treats!

In all truthfulness, experts

say that cats do not have cogni-

tive abilities to calculate such

revenge. Its also important to

understand that your cat would

have to think that relieving

itself is a negative act if revenge

was the case, when really its

only the human owners who

view this act that way.

Litter Box Issues

It is quite common for cats to

avoid their litter box for

one reason or another.

Their behavior could be the

result of:

Changing Litter. Some litter

irritates certain cats. This could

be due to texture or even going

from non-scented to scent.

Some even make an unpleasant

dust cloud that your cat may

not care for.

Dirty. Would you want to

step over your own soiled areas

to relieve yourself? Well, nei-

ther does your cat. Sometimes

even felines who were fine with

their litter box being cleaned

once a day get a little more

fussy as they age and need it

cleaned more often.

Location. Have you moved

the litter box? If not, have you

moved something close to it

like suitcases, sporting equip-

ment, etc.? Cats can be very

sensitive to changes in their

surroundings.

Medical Issues

Many people get so caught up

in thinking that their cat

is being vindictive that

they fail to realize that

there could be health

concerns. Urinary tract

infections or cystitis

(inflammation of the

bladder) are often to

blame which can cause

frequent urination. In this case,

its often hard for the cat to get

to the litter box in time.

Liver, thyroid, and kidney

diseases, intestinal tract tumors

and parasites, and rectum or

colon inflammation can be to

blame as well. Its also impor-

tant to understand that as cats

get older, age-related issues like

muscular disease, disorders of

the nervous system and arthri-

tis can all make getting in and

out of the litter box a chal-

lenge.

Additional Cat

Have you brought in another

cat or could another cat you

already have be getting old and

a little bossier? Even a sweet

feline who has always shared

her litter box may be scared to

use it if her older brother is

having some territorial issues.

Quite often, adding a second

litter box in a different location

will often help with this cat uri-

nation behavior.

As a Penn State stu-

dent preparing to

become a speech

therapist, Melanie Adelman

has learned of the direct con-

nection between how well a

person hears and their ability

to communicate.

It is my vision to edu-

cate people about the con-

nection between hearing aids

and speech, and the great

need for hearing aids, said

Adelman, who speaks to

businesses and medical

offices to spread the word.

So many are surprised to

hear how many people who

need hearing aids cannot

afford them. Plus, people

have lost their jobs and their

insurance, which makes the

problem even more wide-

spread.

Thats why Adelman started

Hear2Help, which collects

used hearing aids and deliv-

ers them to the Wayne Lions

Club, where they are refur-

bished and donated to those

in need.

Adelman reached out to

Kristin Difidi, director of

philanthropy at Cedar Crest

in Riverdale. As soon as

she heard the goals of

Hear2Help, Difidi was excit-

ed to become involved. On

Thanksgiving, Cedar Crest

began an ongoing hearing aid

collection that will last until

after Christmas. Lots of hear-

ing aids have already been

donated by the residents and

staff.

I am so grateful for the

help that Cedar Crest gave

me, said Adelman, and I

want to thank everyone who

donated.

Holiday shopping with

kids can be fun. Kids

enjoy giving gifts,

and bringing them along on

shopping excursions to offer

their input can make the sea-

son that much more special

for youngsters.

But bringing the little

ones along on a holiday shop-

ping trip can also be tricky, as

kids can easily grow tired or

bored at the mall. The follow-

ing are a few tips to ensure kids

and adults enjoy their holiday

shopping trips together.

Bring backup. Kids might

find shopping enjoyable at the

outset, but visiting store after

store can drain them of that

enthusiasm. To quell the

inevitable boredom, bring

along some backup, such as a

handheld video game or a

tablet or e-reader on which

kids can watch a favorite film

or television show.

Choose your shopping desti-

nation wisely. All malls and

retailers are certainly not

equal, especially when kids

will be accompanying you for

a day of shopping. Some malls

offer attractions for kids, such

as a merry-go-round or a live

performance with a holiday

theme. Such attractions pro-

vide some balance to a shop-

ping trip, giving kids some-

thing to look forward to

between store visits.

Dont be a Scrooge. An ice

cream cone, some holiday

cookies or a hot chocolate

might not be the healthiest

fare for youngsters, but such

items can make a shopping

excursion that much more

enjoyable. When shopping

with kids in tow, relax a

youngsters dietary restrictions

so they can enjoy some holi-

day treats while shopping till

they drop.

Give kids some spending

money. Kids are more likely to

engage themselves in a holi-

day shopping trip if they have

some spending money of their

own. Offer children some

money before leaving the

house, and tell them the

money is theirs to spend on

gifts as they see fit. Kids might

just enjoy looking for the per-

fect gift and hunting down a

holiday bargain as much as

Mom and Dad.

Entertaining is part of

the holiday season

when hosts and host-

esses open their homes to

many friends and family to

celebrate a time of giving and

togetherness. Gifts for the

host and/or hostess can show

appreciation to the men and

women who go above and

beyond.

A hostess gift can be as

simple or as extravagant as

your budget allows. Many peo-

ple tend to gravitate toward

food-related gifts because of

their simplicity and the idea

that they can be served at the

gathering of friends and fami-

ly. But conventional etiquette

suggests that hosts and host-

esses are not obligated to serve

the beverages or foods guests

bring and should not feel

ashamed to reserve them for

their own private use. So

Offer is valid for single family, owner occupied primary and secondary residences located in New Jersey. Offer is subject to credit approval. Minimum

loan amount $100,000. Maximum loan amount $729,750. Offer is subject to program availability and may be cancelled at any time. Not all applicantswill qualify and not all properties offered as collateral will be acceptable under this special program. (1) Applicants will be responsible at closing forfunding a tax and insurance escrow account, and any interim interest. If your loan application DOES NOT close, your $400 application fee WILL NOT berefunded. (2) Title and settlement services must be provided by a company from our Title Agency List.

guests may want to think out-

side the box when gifting hol-

iday hosts this season. Here

are some ideas to consider.

Flavored dipping oils: Herb-

infused oils lend a different

taste to prepared foods and

also can be used as a bread gar-

nish in lieu of butter. Pair a

flavored oil with a loaf of

gourmet bread and include a

decorative, shallow bowl that

can be used for the oil.

Wine caddy: The number of

restaurants that enable you to

bring your own beverages has

multiplied. This means that

diners can benefit from practi-

cal ways to transport their

favorite vintage from home to

the table. Wine caddies and

holders come in many differ-

ent designs, from some that

resemble a womans clutch to

suitcase-inspired designs.

After-dinner treat: Put

together a basket of foods that

can be served after dinner. A

citrusy palate cleanser, like

lemon-infused butter cookies,

fresh fruit and a sparkling bev-erage may fit the bill perfectly.

Specialty stores often sell gift

towers this time of year that

package together delicious

treats.

Scented sugars: Oil isnt theonly condiment that can be

infused with aroma and addi-

tional flavor. Purchase can-

ning jars and fill them with

your favorite brand of granu-

lated sugar. Add flavorings,such as cinnamon sticks,

vanilla beans, mint leaves, or

hazelnuts, to give foods a sub-

tle essence of flavor. Tie a bow

around the jar and present it

as a thoughtfulgift.

Garden gift

basket: Al-

though the cold

weather is here,

a garden gift

basket can still

make a wel-

come gift.

Include flower

seeds, fertilizer

sticks, a garden trowel, a pairof gardening gloves and any

other essentials you can think

of.

Spa gift certificate: Enter-

taining is hard work and a

hostess may enjoy some time

to recuperate once the holi-

days have come and gone. A

gift certificate for a facial or

massage will provide at least

an hour of pampering.

Homemade treats: Much in

the way a hand-written

thank-you note can convey

how much you appreciate a

gift; a handmade gift can tell a

host that you were thankful to

be invited to an event. If you

prepare a signature dish, whip

it up and bring it along. Its

also easy to create some sim-

ple garnishes and package

them in a decorative tin or jar.Think homemade salsa or a

homemade chocolate ganache

sauce.

Breakfast in bed: Enable the

host and hostess to sleep in

the next day by having break-

fast all ready to go. Put togeth-

er a basket or tray with indi-

vidual bottles of juice, packets

of tea or instant coffee and

some gourmet muffins or

scones. Add a jar of jam and

some small spreading knives

so breakfast can be served

with minimal hassle.

There are many gifts that

can treat a host or hostess to

something special as a token

of appreciation for opening up

his or her home during the

holiday season.

Often times, buying a

home opens up abottomless pit of

opportunities for projects and

improvements. While some

homeowners engage in differ-

ent repairs and fix-ups out of

necessity, many others like to

freshen-up their spaces out of

personal preference instead of

need. But even the most well-

intentioned projects can be

waylaid if budgets are tight.

What many homeownersmay not realize is that there

are many ways to make

updates and changes to a

home that do not require a

major overhaul or a large

price tag. The following are

seven projects that wont

break the bank.

1.Move around furniture.

You may be able to change

the look of a room without

spending any money. Interiordesigners know how to

arrange furniture for maxi-

mum appeal, but the average

homeowner can do it, too.Find a focal point in the room

and angle the furniture

toward it. Dont make the

focal point the television,

however. Try changing the

placement of chairs and sofas.

Simply moving a curio cabi-

net from one corner to anoth-

er may also make a difference.

2.Add lighting. Lighting at

different levels in the room

can create a vibrant impact.Many homeowners mistaken-

ly put in a couple of table

lamps and think that will be

adequate. However, properly

illuminating a room means

varying the lighting to create

different moods at different

times. Plus, more light can

make a room feel more wel-

coming.

3.Add new pillows or drapes.

Changing a few aspects of aroom can give it an entirely

new look. If you want to add a

splash of color, think about

incorporating some new

throw pillows or change the

curtains. An accessory hereand there in a bright color

also can incorporate a new

hue without it being over-

whelming.

4.Change knobs or small

accents. Give a room a newlook by focusing on the small

details. Switch out cabinet

knobs for something updated

and modern. Take inventoryof wall outlets and light

switches and think about

selecting new ones that coor-

dinate with your home decor.

5.Use plants. Empty corners

or spots youre not certain

how to fill may benefit from a

plant. Plants are inexpensive

ways to add instant color and

visual appeal to a room. Plus,

having live plants can help

improve indoor air by filteringout contaminants. A home

with plants also feels cozier.

6.Hang new wall art. It may

be time to look at your photos

and artwork and make a few

adjustments. Finding new

prints to hang could instantly

change a rooms ambience.

And you neednt spend a lot

of money on professional pho-

tography, either. Grab your

camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in

landscape scenery. Many of

todays home printers can

produce professional-qualityprints in minutes.

7.Try a new coat of paint.

After youve exhausted other

avenues, choosing a new

paint color may be the new

look you desire. Painting is

one of the least expensive yet

most dramatic methods of

changing a homes interior.

With dozens of hues to choose

from, and new apps that

enable you to take snapshotsof things in nature or in your

life and match them up to a

paint color, you will have

scores of opportunities to

explore fresh new colors for

your home.

When you get inspired

to make improvements to the

home but fear how much it

may take out of your wallet,

consider inexpensive tricks

that can induce a big wowfactor.

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home now



22/32

In April 2012, a wildfire

broke out in a compostpile in an area on Staten

Island, NY, that formerly

housed the Fresh KillsLandfill. Residents across the

island worried if the billow-

ing smoke rising into the skywas toxic in nature as a result

of the years of trash that had

been buried in the soil.Though its understand-

able to worry about contami-

nants that could be polluting

outdoor air, its important

not to overlook indoor air

quality as well.

According to the

Environmental Protection

Agency, air inside peoples

homes can be two to five

times more polluted than air

outside the home. Althoughthe EPA regulates the quality

of outdoor air and monitors

potential contaminants, the

air inside ones home is his or

her own domain. Oftentimes,

people do not realize how

polluted the air in their

homes and businesses can be.

Cigarette smoke, radon, car-

bon monoxide, lead-laden

dust from old paints, dirt-

filled carpet, householdcleaners, and furniture made

with wood glue containing

formaldehyde are all sources

of indoor air pollution. Evencooking on a gas stove may

introduce high levels of

nitrogen dioxide into the air,

causing respiratory problems.

The National Safety

Council says that Americans

spend about 90 percent of

their time indoors, so poor

air quality can greatly affect

personal health.

There are several steps

that can be taken to improvethe quality of indoor air.

1.Open the windows and let

fresh air circulate. It is

important to change the air

inside of the home several

times a day to prevent the

buildup of pollutants. Even

opening windows a crack can

help.

2.Change the filters on home

heating and cooling systems

as the manufacturer suggests.3.Routinely clean the

exhaust vents in kitchens,

bathrooms and laundry

rooms.4.Consider the installation of

an air purification system in

the home. Or purchase in-

room HEPA filters.

5.Routinely clean bedding

used by pets and groom ani-

mals to remove shedded fur.

6.Avoid the use of toxic

cleaning products.

Thoroughly cleanse the air

by opening windows after

doing any cleaning.7.Use natural pest control

Ever wonder where to

get the best gnocchi?Frustrated that you

cant find pasta fagioli

the way Nona used to

make it? There is so

much Italian culture in

Northern New Jersey,

but the most authentic

of it is tucked away.

You once had to rely

on your cousins

uncles great aunt to

share the best spotswith you, but now

New Jersey has a new

online tool, making

Italian discoveries all

the more easy. Its

called eFoti Espresso

Culture, and this site is

founded on the belief

that there are a lot of

really great things happening

for Italian culture in the

Northern New Jersey ar ea and that people need to hear

about them!

The founder of eFoti

Espresso Culture, MichaelFoti, Jr., was inspired by his

girlfriends father, who is the

chef and owner of Casa

Filippo on BloomfieldAvenue in Caldwell.

Saverio cooks every

dish that comes out of the

kitchen and has an incredi-bly loyal customer base, said

Foti. The restau-

rant has been in

business almost 12years and has relied

almost exclusively

on positive word-of-mouth

advertising.Everyone knows word-

of-mouth advertis-

ing is and always has been

the most valuable and cost-effective way of getting a

message out there. But the

reach is only as

broad as the

mouths, said Foti.

I thought, what if

there was a trusted

third-party voice of

the community

someone who loves

everything authen-

tic Italian, seeks outthe best Italian

restaurants and is

involved in various

ways within the

Italian communi-

ties? He sought to

become that voice,

and eFoti Espresso

Culture was born.

The idea was to

share all the best

finds in the areaand serve espresso-

sized bits of infor-

mation about them.

The eFoti site strives tobe the most trusted, go-to

resource for local Italian cul-

tural information. Whether

youre seeking a great new

restaurant, Italian language

courses, local specialty goods,

an Italian service organiza-

tion or something else. The

sites passion explodes in

blotches of red, white and

green, eager and excited to

share whats been uncoveredso that others might enjoy it,

too.

We hope to build a

vibrant community that

shares back with us. If were

able to put a spotlight on

local businesses and organiza-

tions that benefits them, then

weve accomplished what we

set out to do, said Foti.

espresso shot of Italian cul-ture at www.efoti.com.

Holiday hosts and

hostesses may wantto put a storage freez-

er on their wish list this year.

Having the ability to prepare

meals in advance and store

them easily for later use could

prove invaluable especially

for those who are opening

their homes for the holidays.

Food and celebrations

are unequivocally inter-

twined. While presents and

decorations may be importantparts of holiday festivities,

food is just as important for

hosts who want to throw a

successful holiday party.

Those who are welcoming

guests to their homes for the

holidays may fret over what to

serve and how long prepara-

tion will take, especially

when theyre busy with other

tasks. However, stretching out

food shopping, preparationand cooking over a few weeks

can make the process much

more manageable.

A freezer can be a partyhosts best friend come the

holiday season. Many foods

can be prepared in advance

and then frozen until the cele-

bration. Also, having small

portions of pre-made foods

can be helpful when visitors

pop in unexpectedly and may

be hungry for a meal. Just take

something out of the freezer

and heat it.Certain tips can ensure

foods made in advance are

stored properly and heat up

quickly.Casseroles, baked pasta dish-

es and vegetables can be pre-

pared in advance and frozen.

Be sure to consult with any

recipes to see if items can

indeed be frozen if you are

unsure how they will fare in

the freezer.

Instead of preparing food

and storing it in one large

container, separate it into twosmaller containers so dishes

defrost quickly and dinner

time isnt delayed.

Use packaging specificallydesigned for use in the freezer.

These products will offer extra

insulation against freezer

burn, which dehydrates food.

Keeping air out of the packag-

ing will help to alleviate cases

of freezer burn and potential

waste of good food.

Mark packages with the date

the foods were packaged as

well as what is inside. This

makes it easy to keep invento-ry of what is in the freezer.

Defrost foods in the refriger-

ator the night before the holi-

day meal will be served.

Heating foods that arent still

frozen considerably cuts down

on cook times.

If food cannot be defrosted

before cooking, keep in mind

that you may have to cook

foods longer than normal.

Many desserts also can befrozen. Freeze pies before they

are cooked. Cakes can be

frozen if you freeze the layers

separately. Then assemble andfrost the cakes before serving.

Cream pies cannot be frozen,

but you can use pudding in

place of cream in many recipes

and be able to freeze them.

Brownies and other bar

recipes will freeze and carry

well.

If you dont want to have

everything prepped in

advance and enjoy the taste of

a freshly cooked meal, consid-er preparing side dishes in

advance and then leave the

roast or turkey to cook. Any

steps you can take ahead of

time will dramatically cut out

the time you have to spend in

the kitchen while guests are

around.

Dont feel shy about cutting

corners when possible. If

youre cooking the entire

meal, invest in pre-madefrozen appetizers to save time.

Fresh seafood, the finest quality meats, seasonal ingredients and a chef

who ensures every course is prepared to perfection. Thats our recipe for success.
