Regular exercise can bene-

fit the body in many ways,

helping men and women

maintain healthier weights and

lower their risks for

developing potentially

deadly diseases. Though

many people are quick to

associate exercise with

its physical benefits,

those hours spent on thetreadmill also can boost

brain power.

According to Dr. Barry

Gordon, professor of

neurology and cognitive

science at Johns Hopkins

Medical Institutions and

coauthor of Intelligent

Memory: Improve the

Memory That Makes You

Smarter, exercise has a

direct impact on thebrain. Thats because

exercise works directly on brain

tissue, improving the connections

between nerve cells, creating new

synapses, growing new neurons

and blood vessels, and improving

cell energy efficiency. So while

many people may begin an exer-

cise regimen with a goal of trim-

ming their waistlines or toning

their bodies, they might be happy

to know that those physical bene-fits are accompanied by several

cognitive benefits as well.

As the American Psych-

ological Association acknowl-

edges, the connection between

exercise and mental health is

hard to ignore, and the APA

notes that the following are just a

few of the mental benefits men

and women might reap from regu-

lar exercise.

IMPROVED MOODMany people feel great after

exercising, especially if that exer-

cise comes at the end of a partic-

ularly stressful day. However,

those extra laps on the track or

those hours spent on the tread-

mill dont just pay short-term div-

idends. In a controlled trial over-

seen by Duke University

researcher and clinical psycholo-

gist James Blumenthal, sedentary

adults with major depressive dis-order were assigned into one of

four groups: supervised exercise,

home-based exercise, antidepres-

sant therapy, or a placebo pill.

Those in the exercise and antide-

pressant groups had higher rates

of remission than those in the

placebo group, and Blumenthal

concluded that exercise was gen-

erally comparable to antidepres-

sants for men and women with

major depressive disorder. Inaddition, in following up with

patients a year later, Blumenthal

found that those who continued

to exercise had lower depression

Exercise benefits the brain, too

L

osing a spouse can be

hard enough, but losing

a spouse and not know-ing how to manage the fami-

lys finances can lead to

despair. As you gather your

tax records this year, take a

few extra steps to help your

spouse avoid added stress after

youre gone.

In many households one

spouse takes care of the

finances, such as paying bills,

filing important papers and

tracking investments. Itsessential that the other spouse

at least knows the location of

these papers and how to access

the assets. To provide struc-ture to your records, start with

a balance sheet listing of all

bank accounts, insurance poli-

cies and investment holdings,

including applicable online

passwords. Also list your phys-

ical assets and the location of

ownership titles.

Having a complete

record of assets is important,

but so is knowing how to man-

age those assets. Make a list ofthings you consider important

that your spouse might not

know about. This might

include such things as how to

manage retirement distribu-

tions and estate issues. You

might also list the names of

people who should be notified

of your passing. Simple things,

like routine chores to performat the vacation home or recre-

ational vehicle, might provide

comforting guidance.

Educating your spouse on

financial matters can also be a

satisfying social opportunity.

Join with other like-minded

couples to establish an invest-

ment club where everyone

participates in the decision

making. Such venues often

lead to important conversa-tions about managing money

scores than those participants

who were less active.

Blumenthals study was

not the only one to conclude

that exercise can have a posi-tive impact on mood. In a

review of 11 studies that

examined the effects of exer-

cise on mental health, Boston

University professor of psy-

chology Michael Otto and his

colleagues found that exercise

could be a powerful tool when

treating clinical depression,

and even recommended clini-

cians include exercise as part

of their treatment plans fordepressed patients.

ANTIDOTE TO ANXI-

ETY

Some researchers, Otto

included, have begun to

examine the effects of exercise

on treating and possibly pre-

venting anxiety. The bodys

nervous system responds

quickly when people feel

frightened or threatened,

often causing the bodys heartrate to increase and sweating

and dizziness to occur. Those

people who are especially sen-

sitive to anxiety respond to

these feelings with fear, and

that makes them more likely

to develop panic disorders.

But Otto and fellowresearcher Jasper Smits of the

Anxiety Research and

Treatment Program at

Southern Methodist Univer-

sity studied the effects that

regular workouts might have

on people prone to anxiety.

Since exercise produces many

of the same physical reactions,

such as sweating and an ele-

vated heart rate, the body pro-

duces when responding to fearor threats, Otto and Smits

wanted to determine if exer-

cise might help people prone

to anxiety become less likely

to panic when experiencing

fear or threats. In studying 60

participants with heightened

sensitivity to anxiety, Otto

and Smits found that the sub-

jects who participated in a

two-week exercise program

exhibited marked improve-ments in anxiety sensitivity

compared to those partici-

pants who did not take part in

the exercise program. Otto

and Smith concluded that this

improvement was a result of

the exercise group partici-

pants learning to associate thesymptoms common to both

fear and exercise, such as

sweating and an elevated

heart rate, with something

positive (exercise) instead of

something negative (anxiety).

Regular exercise benefits

the human body in numerous

ways, not the least of which is

its impact on the brain. More

between exercise andimproved mental health is

Tooth sensitivity can be

caused by a problem

with the tooths nerve

and blood supply (pulp), or by

exposure of dentin, resulting

in dentin hypersensitivity.

Dentin is a sponge-like,

hard layer underneath enamel

(the outer white, hardest

layer of a tooth) that contains

small channels that connectthe pulp to the outside of the

dentin. When dentin is

exposed, there can be hyper-

sensitivity.

Dentin hypersensitivity

is a short, sharp pain not

caused by tooth decay. It can

affect up to one in every two

people at sometime in their

lives. This condition is esti-

mated to affect 40 million

people in the U.S.Hypersensitivity mostly

affects people in their 20s and

30s. Age changes dentin and

decreases tooth sensitivity.

Age increases gum recession

(exposing dentin), enamel

erosion, and tooth structure

loss.

Enamels hard texture

protects the pulp and dentin.

When it is lost, hypersensitiv-

ity occurs. The most common

complaints are caused by coldand sweets.The pain from

enamel loss is caused by:

1. Acidic foods and drinks

(sodas,sports drinks,fruits,etc.)

2. Vigorous over-brushing,

removing the enamel

3. Abrasive toothpastes

4. Using a medium or hardtoothbrush (not American

Dental Association approved)

5. Gum recession

6. Use or overuse of tooth

whitening products

7. Clenching or grinding your

teeth (bruxism)

Part 2 discusses the actu-al reason hypersensivity hurts,

damaged to the pulp (nerve),

and available treatments.

While there are

many ways to help

elderly loved ones

do all they can to maintain

health, one of the best ways to

improve both the physical and

mental health of senior citizens

is meditation. We know that

meditation can reduce stress

and help us relax, but recent

studies have shown that medi-

tation can also relieve pain,

reduce the probability of heart

disease and improve creativity.

Here are some other benefits of

meditation:

1. The deep breathing exer-

cises central to any program of

meditation encourage oxygen

enrichment to the blood.

Senior citizens who suffer

from digestion problems often

see immediate relief because

the oxygenation of their

digestive functions is empow-

ered through meditation. This

extra oxygen boosts the

immune system, heals the

lungs and improves circula-

tion.

2. Meditation also causes

increased alertness and the

ability to interact with others

and surroundings. The

increased oxygen in the

bloodstream of the elderly

user of meditation will cause

brain functions to improve.

3. Because both the mind and

the body become more

relaxed, the mental and phys-

ical health of the individual is

improved drastically. Seniors

who suffer from depression

can benefit from meditation.

During meditation, feelings of

happiness are created in the

brain that increase daily hap-

piness and satisfaction.

4. Meditation improves physi-

cal energy, making the senior

years just as rewarding as

other life phases. Meditation

is also easy to learn and

requires no certain religious

affiliations. The fact thatmeditation is flexible and easy

to do makes it a great choice

for everyone, quickly enrich-

ing the lives of seniors.

5. A study published in the

Journal of Brain, Behavior and

Immunity shows that eight

weeks of training in mindful-

ness meditation is linked with

decreased loneliness. Aside

from alleviating loneliness,

mindfulness meditation has

also been shown in past

research to have positive

effects on the brain linked

with brain changes that may

even have effects against

mental illness.

Though February does

not often elicit images

of youngsters building

campfires or playing games in

the pool, the month more

synonymous with the Super

Bowl and Valentines Day is a

great time for parents to start

thinking about summer camps

for their kids.

Summer camp is often

something kids look forward

to, and something they will

fondly recall long after they

reach adulthood. For many

kids, summer camp provides a

first taste of independence, as

youngsters spend significant

time away from home without

their parents for the first time

in their lives. But as great an

experience as summer camp

can be for youngsters, it can be

just as difficult an experience if

parents dont find the right fit

for their children. Thats why

it behooves parents to start

thinking about summer camps

for their kids in winter, before

camps start filling out their

rosters, which tends to happen

in early spring. The following

are a few things parents should

take into consideration when

seeking a summer camp for

their kids.

STAFF

The right summer camp

staff can make all the differ-

ence. Many children are

understandably shy when

arriving at a summer camp, as

their friends from back home

might not be joining them.That can make kids hesitant

to participate in activities or

less enthusiastic about those

activities. But a good staff will

know how to make kids feel

welcome, which should help

them come out of their shells

and make the most of their

summer camp experiences.

The quality of staffs can vary

significantly depending on

the camp, so its importantthat parents ask camp repre-

sentatives about their staffs

before making any commit-

ments. Ask how long the staff

has been together and the

types of training new and

even veteran staff members

undergo before the start of

camp season? Does the train-

ing include first aid and emer-

gency medical training and

certification?

Its also good to ask about

the vetting process the camp

employs before hiring new

staff, including the extent of

its background checks. Are

criminal background checks

conducted? How many refer-

ences must potential staff

members supply to be consid-

ered for employment? A good

camp will be forthcoming

with answers to all of your

questions, so eliminate those

that appear hesitant to share

information about their staffs.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

When vetting camps for

kids, parents should ask what

a typical day is like once the

season hits full swing. Many

parents want their youngsters

to have a well-rounded expe-

rience, while others might

want their kids to attend a

more specialized camp,

whether its a sports camp

focusing on a particular sport

or a music camp devoted to

helping kids become better

musicians. Regardless of the

type of camp parents are con-

Things to consider beforechoosing a summer camp

After a long season of

use, fireplaces need

to be cleaned. Many

homeowners think this is a job

that can be put off until the

fall, but spring is an ideal sea-

son to have the chimney and

flue cleaned and inspected.

One reason to include scrub-

bing the chimney as part of

spring cleaning is to cut down

on odor. After using a fire-

place, a buildup of creosote

forms in the chimney. As the

weather gets warmer, creosote

deposits can start to smell sour

and that odor will seep into

the home. In addition, mois-

ture can mix with the creosote

and start to degrade the flue

liner, necessitating costly

repairs. The sooner a chimney

and flue are cleaned the bet-

ter. A chimney sweep can do a

thorough job of scrubbing

down the chimney and fire-

place and ensuring that every-

thing will be in working order

come next season.

sidering for their kids, they

should ask about what daily

life at the camp is like. Ask to

see schedules and how strictly

camps adhere to those sched-

ules. When considering spe-

cialized camps, ask the staff

representative if kids will

have the chance to simply

have a little fun and which

types of recreational activities

are planned to give kids a

break from what are often rig-

orous schedules.

CAMP GOALS

Another thing parents

must consider before choosing

a summer camp for their kids

is the goals of each individual

camp. A camp should be ded-

icated to ensuring kids have

fun, even when kids are

attending more specialized

camps that tend to be more

strict. In addition, parents

should look for a camp that

wants its attendees to foster

relationships with their fellow

campers. Camp can be lonely

for some youngsters, especially

those attending summer camp

for the first time, but a sum-

mer camp that strives to pro-

mote friendship among its

campers can reduce, if not

eliminate, any feelings of

homesickness.

Late winter is when par-

ents should start looking at

summer camps for their kids,

and there are a host of factors

moms and dads should take

into consideration during the

vetting process to ensure their

youngsters have as much fun

as possible.

Romantic nights out on

the town are how many

couples celebrate

Valentine's Day. Restaurants

and resorts book quickly come

Valentine's Day, while movie

theaters tend to be packed as

well. Even babysitters cash in

come February 14, as parents

look to enjoy a romantic night

away from the kids.

Parents who do not secure

a babysitter well in advance of

the holiday will have to spend

Valentine's Day with kids in

tow. Many parents actually pre-

fer to spend Valentine's Day

with their children, and there

are plenty of family-friendly

Valentine's Day activities to

keep everyone occupied.

DESSERT SPREE

Valentine's Day is the one

day of the year to fully engage

your sweet tooth. And what

child doesn't enjoy sampling

plenty of sweet treats? Create a

sundae station after dinner,

complete with different flavors

of ice cream and various top-

pings. Include mix-ins, like

brownie bits or small chunks of

pound cake. Everyone can cre-

ate their own sundae, topped

off with whipped cream and a

cherry.

This is also a time to

experiment with different

dessert recipes. Encourage kids

to come into the kitchen and

dabble in pastry arts. Bake and

decorate heart-shaped cakes

and cookies. Whip up healthy,

pink-tinged strawberry-banana

smoothies. Create edible

candy-and-chocolate bouquets

to use as the centerpiece on a

dining table. The opportunities

for fun with sweets are endless.

GET CRAFTY

Families also can use this

Valentine's Day as a chance

turn off their electronic devices

and have fun with crafts and

hobbies. While heart-shaped

paper crafts are requisite for the

day, that doesn't mean you

need to be limited to all frilly

creations. Boys can construct

their own Cupid bows from

twigs and some yarn. Everyone

can whip up a batch of fizzing,

scented bath salts. Homemade

craft dough also makes for a fun

project, and the dough can be

turned into all different shapes,

including hearts and bows.

FANCY DINNER AT

HOME

Who says you have to

venture out for fine dining?

Plan an intimate dinner right

in your own dining room. Have

the entire family dress up in

semi-formal clothing and enjoy

a candle-lit meal on fine china.

The meal need not be fancy, as

long as everyone enjoys what

they are eating. Plan for dessert

afterward.

MOVIE NIGHT

Rather than facing the

crowds at area theaters, you can

visit your nearest movie quick-

serve kiosk or purchase a movie

through your cable service

provider. Find family-friendly

films with love and together-

ness as the center theme. Then

whip up a large bowl of pop-

corn, snuggle under the blan-

kets and enjoy a movie

marathon.

MEMORY BOX

Purchase or find a wood-

en, plastic or metal box that

will last for several years. Have

all members of the family gath-

er their favorite items or things

that are sentimental to them

and place them in the box.

These can be ticket stubs, pho-

tographs, jewelry, or other trin-

kets. Place them in the box and

seal it. Agree not to open the

box until next Valentine's Day

to see how the family has

grown and evolved.

Valentines Day is upon

us. This is a day to

celebrate our loved

ones and show them we care.

We also have to take care of

our four-legged loved ones, as

some Valentines Day gifts and

ideas may be hazardous to our

pets.

The most obvious warn-

ing is: Dont let your pets eat

chocolate. Chocolate is one of

the traditional gifts on

Valentines Day but can be

very dangerous to pets, even

life threatening. The toxic

compounds in chocolate are

methylxanthines, mainly

theobromine and, less impor-

tantly, caffeine. The amounts

of theobromine and caffeine

vary with the type of choco-

late. For instance, unsweet-

ened (Bakers) chocolate con-

tains 8 to 10 times the amount

of theobromine as milk

chocolate. This is a very com-

mon toxicity in dogs and seen

less in cats just by nature of

their eating habits.

Clinical signs of choco-

late toxicity usually occur

within six to 12 hours of

ingestion. Theobromine

affects the body as a central

nervous system stimulant, car-

diovascular stimulant,

increases blood pressure and

nausea. Therefore, common

signs of chocolate toxicity are:

vomiting, diarrhea, hyperac-

tivity, tremors, seizures, fast

heart rate and, in severe cases,

death. If your pet ingests

chocolate, contact your vet-

erinarian or poison control

immediately for treatment.

Also, knowing the type and

quantity of chocolate ingested

is helpful.

Another potential hazard

for pets on this sweet holiday

is any sugar-free gum or

candy. They commonly con-

tain the sugar substitute xyli-

tol. Signs of xylitol toxicity

can be seen as quickly as 30

minutes and causes a sudden

drop in the bodys blood sugar

(hypoglycemia). This may

result in weakness, depression,

loss of coordination, seizures,

coma and even liver failure.

Treatment should be initiated

immediately if ingestion

occurs.

Some holiday flowers,

though they are romantic, can

be toxic for your pet. The

biggest culprits are lilies. They

are highly toxic to cats, so

make sure your cats cant get

near them, or choose a differ-

ent variety of flower but not

tulips (the bulbs are the most

toxic). Amaryllis, daisies,

chrysanthemums or any flow-

ers with thorns may be poten-

tially dangerous flowers.

Leftover gift-wrapping or

decorations are enticing for

curious cats. Make sure all rib-

bons, bows and other wrap-

ping are out of your pets reach

and cleaned up. Cats especial-

ly like chewing on strings or

ribbons which can cause

choking or worse, an obstruc-

tion in the intestines that

could require emergency sur-

gery.

Candles are also a nice

touch on Valentines Day but

not to paws and fur. Dont

leave candles unattended, as

pets can easily be burned or

the candles could be knocked

over, causing a fire.

One last warning is not

to give pets as gifts. Puppies

and kittens are very cute and

cuddly but owning a pet is a

big undertaking. Purchasing a

pet should be done in a

responsible way and only after

a lot of research. If youre

ready, you should consider

adopting a pet from your local

shelter. These steps can be

done together and are roman-

tic and rewarding.

Have a sweet and safe

Valentines Day!

Several Pompton Lakes

display on January 12

for a First Communion expo,

held in the upstairs banquet

room of Macks American Bar

& Grill.

This free expo featured

everything parents needed

including clothing, hair

styles and accessories,

rosaries, kits, photography

This was a wonderful

opportunity for a few business-

es to get together and reach

Winter weather can

be treacherous.

Extreme wintry

conditions can make walking

on wet or slippery surfaces

unavoidable. If you must walk

on wet or slippery surfaces,

observe the following precau-

tions:

Take smaller steps to

keep the center of balance

underneath yourself.

Walk like a penguin

sound silly? Not really. Walk

with your toes pointed out-

ward. This will provide a

wider, more stable base of

support for maintaining bal-

ance.

Turn gradually and slow-

ly. A sharp turn results in a

sideways force that can cause

loss of balance.

Keep both hands free for

balance.

Use hand railings when

walking on steps.

Take short steps and

walk at a slower pace.

When walking on snow

and ice, the following precau-

tions will help reduce the

likelihood of any injuries:

Whenever possible,

walk on surfaces that have

been cleared of snow and ice.

Walking on snow or ice

is especially treacherous and

wearing proper footwear is

essential. A pair of well insu-

lated boots with good rubber

treads is a must for walking

during or after a winter storm.

Keeping a pair of rubber over-

shoes with good treads which

fit over your street shoes is a

good idea during the winter

months.

When walking on an icy

or snow-covered walkway,

take short steps and walk at a

slower pace so you can react

quickly to a change in trac-

tion.

If you must walk in the

street, walk against the traffic

and as close to the curb as

you can.

Be on the lookout for

vehicles which may have lost

traction and are slipping

towards you. Be aware that

approaching vehicles may

not be able to stop at cross-

walks or traffic signals.

At night, wear bright

clothing or reflective gear, as

dark clothing will make it dif-

ficult for motorists to see you.

During the daytime,

wear sunglasses to help you

see better and avoid hazards.

Be safe during the wintry

months, stay warm and stay

upright!

Completing home im-

provement projects on

your own can be both

rewarding and financially

responsible. A growing number

of homeowners are dabbling in

do-it-yourself projects, recog-

nizing both the personal and

financial rewards of such

undertakings. As more and

more homeowners perform

their own renovations and

other improvement projects,

many are outfitting their

homes with state-of-the-art

workshops and transforming

garages into a do-it-yourselfers

paradise.

Safety is vital in any work-

shop. During a typical home

renovation, homeowners will

use all sorts of dangerous tools

and chemicals, and even the

simplest mishap can result in a

serious injury. Following safety

rules can reduce the risk of

injury.

Know your tools

Before novice do-it-your-

selfers begin working with

power tools, they should famil-

iarize themselves with their

owners manuals and the oper-

ating instructions. Some home-

improvement retailers offer

classes in various home renova-

tion projects and may be able

to teach tool usage. Do-it-your-

selfers should consult

professionals with

regard to proper tool use

and safety. Do not use

tools for purposes other

than what the tool was

intended to do. If

machine guards are pro-

vided, they should be

used and never

removed.

Wear safety gear

Eye, ear and

breathing protection

are key in any workshop

environment. Dust and

chemical gases may be

present when working

with certain products,

and debris can be

kicked up and enter the

eyes, causing irritation

or even blindness. Loud

power tools can damage

sensitive ears, especially when

used in a contained room.

Always wear goggles, sound-

muffling earphones and dust

masks when working.

Assess physical well-being

Do-it-yourselfers should never

work with machinery if they

are feeling sick or fatigued or

while taking medication that

can affect concentration or

alertness. All it takes is a

moment of distraction to cause

an injury.

Never surprise anyone

who is working with power

tools and keep unnecessary

people out of the workshop,

where they might chat and dis-

tract others from the tasks at

hand.

Factor in ergonomics

Failure to work in

comfortable conditions

can result in repetition

injuries or muscle

strain. Make the work-

shop as comfortable as

possible. Ensure the

work table is at the right

height. Use a rubber

mat on the floor to

reduce standing fatigue.

Have a stool or chair

available for taking

breaks.

Keep a clean shop

Power cords strewn

around the workshop

present a tripping haz-

ard. They also make it

possible to drag sharp or

heavy tools off of tables

and workbenches if the

cords are pulled or

tripped over. A neat workshop

is a safer workshop. Pay atten-

tion to where tools are kept and

keep cords manageable.

Dress appropriately

Loose clothing and hair

can become tangled or lodged

in equipment. Do not wear

jewelry. Dress comfortably but

appropriately for the workshop,

being sure to wear sturdy shoes.

Lock it up

Children and pets are

curious and may wander into a

workshop to explore. They can

become seriously ill or injured

by the bevy of chemicals and

tools used for common projects.

Some items are flammable and

sharp and should always be out

of reach. Locking cabinets and

drawers can keep tools inacces-

sible. Also warn youngsters

against entering the workshop

unattended.

As more people engage in

do-it-yourself projects, home-

owners should reacquaint

themselves with safety proce-

dures.

painting does not require a lit-

Address any holes or bumps

on the wall. Holes or cracks in

the wall will need to be

patched with spackle, which

then must dry before the wall

can be given a new coat of

paint. In addition, sand down

any bumps until the walls are

smooth and free of any

unsightly abnormalities.

Wash the walls. Walls can

get dirty, and that dirt may or

may not be masked by paint.

Before adding a new coat of

paint, wash the walls and

inspect them for dust. Dust

can collect on molding, espe-

cially in rooms that get little

natural air. When dust has

collected on the molding and

around doorways and trim, use

a damp cloth to wipe it away

before adding any new paint.

Apply primer. Primer can

serve many functions, not the

least of which is its role as a

bonding agent between the

Primer can also help conceal

may not be aware of. When

opening a new can of paint,

stir the paint before using it.

In addition, even if you don't

plan to use a roller when

painting, do not paint straight

from the can, which can be

heavier to hold than a small

bowl, and a light bowl is less

likely to be spilled than a

potentially heavy can of paint.

In addition, once paint has

been removed from the can,

replace the lid so dust and

other impurities do not settle

in the can.

Purchase painter's tape.

Painter's tape can be especial-

ly valuable to novice painters.

Painter's tape makes it easier

to paint smooth and clean

paint lines, giving a room a

more professional looking coat

of paint without the cost of

hiring a professional painter.

Painting can be an inex-

pensive and fun way to

upgrade a home's interior. But

even though painting does not

require the technical know-

how of more large-scale home

improvement projects, it still

requires some prep work and

attention to detail to ensure

the job is done right

Valentines Day is

known for many

things. Youngsters

associate the day with

exchanging homemade valen-

tines with their classmates,

while couples look at the day

as an annual opportunity to

express their feelings for their

partners, often over a nice

dinner.

But no Valentines Day is

complete without sweets. On

Valentines Day, healthy eat-

ing often takes a backseat to

indulging in various confec-

tions, as seemingly everyone

finds a way to enjoy a special

treat on February 14. Those

who want to experience how

Parisians might indulge their

sweet tooths on Valentines

Day can try the following

recipe for Truffes au

Chocolat from Sarah

Woodwards The Food of

France (Kyle Books).

Truffes au Chocolat

Makes 20 to 24 truffles

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons super fine sugar

1 tablespoon Cointreau or

Armagnac (optional) good

quality cocoa powder

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Scant 1/2 pound dark choco-

late with at least 70 percent

cocoa solids

Scald the cream with the

sugar by just bringing to the

boil and then removing from

the heat immediately. Whisk

in the chocolate piece by

piece until you have a smooth

emulsion. Allow to cool

slightly then whisk in the but-

ter, again in pieces, followed

by the alcohol if you are using

it. Chill the mixture in the

freezer 20 minutes.

Now stir the mixture well

and, using either two tea-

spoons if you are dexterous or

your fingers if you dont mind

getting messy, fashion the

truffles into small balls. Place

on parchment paper or foil on

a baking sheet and put in the

refrigerator for 30 minutes or

so. Roll well in the cocoa

powder and leave in the refrig-

erator at least overnight

before serving.

No Valentines Day iscomplete without

chocolate. Men and

women alike look forward to

their sampling of sweets come

February 14, and that sam-

pling simply must include

some delectable chocolates.

Those who want to go

the extra mile this Valentines

Day can try their hands at

crafting their own confec-

tionary concoctions from thecomforts of their kitchens.

The following recipe for

Triple-Chocolate Cookies

from Michael Recchiuti and

Fran Gages Chocolate

Obsession (Stewart, Tabori

& Chang) will no doubt

please your valentine this

February.

Triple-Chocolate Cookies

Makes about 48 cookies

1 cups unbleached all-pur-pose flour

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon

unsweetened natural cocoa

powder

teaspoon baking soda

12 tablespoons unsalted butter

at room temperature

cup sugar

cup dark brown sugar

teaspoon pure vanilla

extract

Tahitian vanilla bean, split

horizontally

teaspoon fleur de sel (sea

salt) fine grains

3 oz milk chocolate, roughly

chopped

3 oz dark chocolate, roughly

chopped

Make the dough:

Sift the flour, cocoa and

baking soda together into a

bowl. Set aside.

Put the butter in the

bowl of a stand mixer fitted

with the paddle attachment.

Beat on medium speed until

creamy. Add both sugars and

the vanilla extract. Scrape the

seeds from the vanilla bean

into the bowl. Sprinkle the

salt over the top. Beat on

medium speed just until com-

bined.

Reduce the speed to low.

Add the dry ingredients in 3

additions, pulsing the mixer to

incorporate each additionbefore adding the next one.

Pulse just until a crumbly

dough forms. Add both

chopped chocolates and mix

on low speed just until incor-

porated.

Turn the dough out onto

a lightly floured work surface.

Knead a few times to incorpo-

rate any crumbs.

Divide the dough in half.

Roll each half into a log about1 inches in diameter and 12

inches long. As you roll, gen-

tly push the ends toward the

center occasionally to prevent

air pockets from forming and

to keep the logs at an even

thickness.

Wrap the logs in plastic

wrap and refrigerate until

firm, at least 3 hours or up to 3

days.

Bake the cookies:Preheat the oven to 325

F. Line the bottoms of two 12-

by-18-inch sheet pans with

parchment paper.

Remove the logs from

the refrigerator and unwrap

them. Using a ruler to guideyou and a sharp knife, cut

each log into rounds inch

thick. If the dough crumbles

as you cut it, reshape each

slice. Place the rounds on the

prepared pans, spacing them 1

inches apart.

Bake on the middle

shelves of the oven, rotating

the pans 180 degrees halfway

through the baking time, untilset but soft enough to hold a

slight indentation when

pressed with a fingertip, about

14 minutes. Let cool com-

pletely on the pans on wire

racks.

Store in an airtight con-

tainer at room temperature for

up to 1 week.

Findingthe RightRestaurant

for YourDinnerParty

Over the last couple of years, dining out has become an even bigger luxury than itonce was. Thanks to the struggling economy, many people have decided to cutback on spending, and dining out has become casualty of such events.

While the economy is gradually rebounding, dining out is still largely reserved forspecial occasions among those whose memory of the recession is still fresh. However,dining out does remain a strong choice when hosting a special occasion such as a birthdayparty or anniversary celebration. When choosing a restaurant to have such a gathering,consider the following tips to ensure that rare restaurant night out goes off without a hitch.

NEWwhats

in dining?

Look for versatility in a menu. Whendining out, the emphasis is obviously on thefood. Couples might enjoy certainrestaurants they have previously patronized,but that does not necessarily make therestaurant ideal for a party. When shoppingfor a restaurant, look for one that boasts aversatile menu that can cater to a vast arrayof palates. Especially for larger parties, theversatility of the menu is very important.Restaurants that boast a large entreeselection that includes meat, poultry,seafood, and even vegetarian dishes ensures

each guest has options.

Examine the elbow room. Because diningout has become such a luxury, comfortshould be another key consideration. Look

for a restaurant that provides ample elbowroom so everyone can relax and wont feelcrowded.

Be sure there are places to park. Chancesare, most guests will be driving to the party.While it seems like an afterthought, therestaurant should provide ample, and ideallyfree, parking. Avoid restaurants that chargefor valet service or inquire if such servicecan be included on the tab ahead of time.

Reserve well in advance. If its a trulyspecial occasion, be sure to begin the process

of finding a restaurant as early as possibleand make a reservation the moment adecision is made. Reservations can alwaysbe cancelled should things not work out.
