Chocolate Covered CherriesJan. 3 is National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day. In honor of the day, here’s a neat fact about the delicious sweet treat.

The secret of how the fruit got inside the liquid-filled, chocolate-covered cherries is almost as much of a mystery as how the ship got inside the bottle.

The process by which these unique candies are created relies on a chemical reaction that actually takes place after the candy is made. Before being dipped in chocolate, the cherries are coated with a sugary paste containing an enzyme, called invertase. The paste hardens and the cherries are dipped in chocolate. Then they are stored for one to two weeks. During this period the enzyme triggers a chemical reaction in the candy. One form of sugar, sucrose, is changed to two other more soluble forms: dextrose and fructose. In effect, the outer part of the cherry liquefies in its own syrup, leaving the cherry center swimming in liquid. This explains how these succulent candies can be made without there being a hole somewhere in the coating.

Midnight MasqueradeJoin us this month as we host a fun masquerade party. The next time you are at the store where they sell masks, try to pick one up for the party. As well, we can make our own masks as a craft. This is going to be a fun evening of music, drinks, food and dancing. We hope to see you there!

Know Your OatsEating a bowl of oatmeal can be a comforting, heart-healthy breakfast. The different processing methods for this whole-grain food create a variety of oats to choose from.

Steel-cut: Whole oat kernels, called groats, are chopped into coarse pieces to make steel-cut oatmeal, also known as Irish oatmeal. This type is the least processed, so it takes up to 30 minutes to cook and has a chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor.

Scottish: Groats are stone-ground into small, fine pieces to make Scottish oatmeal, which is thick and creamy like porridge.

Old-fashioned: Also called rolled oats, these are the most commonly used in oatmeal and are made by steaming groats and flattening them between rollers into flakes. Old-fashioned oats are often used in baked goods, such as cookies and muffins.

Quick: These are another form of rolled oats, but are steamed longer and rolled thinner. They make a fast breakfast since their smooth, thin flakes cook in just one minute.

Instant: Usually sold in single-serve packets with added flavors such as brown sugar, cinnamon and various fruits for sweetness, the oats in instant oatmeal have a soft texture. They have been fully cooked during processing and then dehydrated.

Martin Luther King Jr. DayMartin Luther King, Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.

Dear Lake Forest Friends, Family and ResidentsHappy New Year! I am so excited to spend another year with all of you. I know 2019 is going to be a wonderful year for us, and I’m really looking forward to all the exciting and memorable things that are going to take place.
