TACKY TOYS• AtoycompanytryingtocompetewiththeBarbiedollcame out with the Tressy doll who had a hank of hair in the center of her head which could be hauled out and screwed back in.• In 1975Mattel introduced a new doll calledGrow-ing Up Skipper.

A man walks into a bar and orders a drink. Then he notices there are pieces of meat nailed to the ceiling of the bar so he asks the barman what they are for. The barman replies, “If you can jump up and pull one of them down you get free beer all night. If you fail, you have to pay the bar $100. Do you want to have a go?” The man thinks about it for a minute before saying, “Nah, the steaks are too high!”

Vince Lombardi on Winning

With high-school football seasons coming to an end and the college championships and NFL playoffs mere weeks away, it occurred to me that something was missing from today’s game in general: the com-pass.

For all of you coaches out there, it’s probably been a long time since you’ve heard the immortal words of Vince Lombardi. Maybe some of you never heard or read them at all. Let’s rectify that once and for all. Here’s something you can clip out and put on your bulletin boards and locker-room walls: Vince Lombardi on winning. You’re welcome.

— “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-the-time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all of the time. Win-ning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

— “There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that’s first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second-place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

— “Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he’s got to play

from the ground up — from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That’s OK. You’ve got to be smart to be No. 1 in any business. But more impor-tantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.

— “Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization — an army, a polit-ical party or a business. The princi-ples are the same. The object is to win — to beat the other guy. May-be that sounds hard or cruel. I don’t think it is.

— “It is a reality of life that men are competitive, and the most com-petitive games draw the most com-petitive men. That’s why they are there - to compete. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules — but to win.

— “And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head-to-head com-bat.

— “I don’t say these things because I believe in the ‘brute’ nature of men or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour — his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear — is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle — victorious.”

being reproduced by the evil elves inChina. For example,in the areawhere I live themarket is beingfloodedwithcobalt Shirley Temple mugs -- all fakes. My advice is do your homework before making a purchase and when a price seems to be too low to be real, alas, it generally is.

• The color red belongs to Christ-mas. Fill a clear glass with cranberries and top it off with a few white roses or lilies. Float cranberries and a few floating candles in a silver bowl, or fill some small, stylish bowls with cran-berries and place them throughout the house.

• Arrange pears, pomegranates, arti-chokes and apples in a bowl with a few pine cones and evergreen cuttings. Add a few ornaments to boot.

• Family photos are a great way to personalize your tree. Put your favor-ite photo in a simple, lightweight frame and attach it to the tree with a ribbon.

• A grapevine wreath makes a per-

fect year-round welcome. For Christ-mas, dress it with ornaments and red ribbon. For New Year's Eve, add a touch of silver and gold.

• A bowl of ornaments makes a sim-ple and stunning centerpiece or holi-day accent for a tabletop or mantel. It's also a great way to put broken orna-

ments to use. Choose two or three colors of balls and arrange them in a decora-tive glass bowl or a weath-ered wooden bowl.

• To personalize a plain and inexpensive evergreen wreath, tuck in small snips of dried flowers or wire on some favorite trinket or keepsakes such as pieces of costume jewelry or small antique toys.

• To hang a wreath with-out exposing unattractive wire or put-ting a hole in the middle of a door, tie a length of pretty ribbon around the wreath and then tack the ribbon to the top of the door.

• Use old socks to protect fragile ornaments and figurines when pack-ing up holiday decorations. Slip an item inside an old sock and roll it up.


Holiday Decorating Tips


Holiday Dining With Diabetes

Holiday dining and celebrations are a culinary challenge for most Americans, especially those with diet-related illnesses. While I’m not a diabetic, my family medical his-tory provides a cautionary tale. The American Diabetes Association esti-mates that 52 percent of Americans either have diabetes or are pre-dia-betic. This means millions of people have diabetes and don’t know it.

Because so many Americans — including my husband, mother, father, youngest sister and many other family members and friends — are diabetics, I decided to collect 150 of my favor-ite, healthy recipes and create “The Kitchen Diva’s Diabetic Cookbook: 150 Healthy, Delicious Recipes for Diabetics and Those Who Dine with Them.” It addresses the health and dietary needs of pre-diabetics, juve-nile diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, women with gestational diabetes (related to pregnancy) and those with diabetic-related complica-tions, along with anyone seeking to embrace a healthier diet and lifestyle.

Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how high your blood sugar is ele-vated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms ini-tially. In Type 1 diabetes, however, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe. Some of the signs of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are increased thirst, frequent urina-tion, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, presence in the urine of ketones (a byproduct of the break-down of muscle and fat that happens when there’s not enough insulin), fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing sores, mild high blood pressure and frequent infections, such as gum or

skin infections and vaginal or bladder infections.

Throughout “The Kitchen Diva’s Diabetic Cookbook,” I’ve prepared recipes suitable for the dietary needs of a diabetic but also satisfying for non-diabetics. I use these recipes when entertaining family and friends, including this one for Crispy Roasted Chicken. It’s easy and delicious, and provides a healthy meal for diabetics and those who dine with them during the holidays and every day!

CRISPY ROASTED CHICKENThis is one of my family’s favorite

chicken dishes. I usually prepare it for Sunday dinner after church and for holiday celebrations. Sprinkling the skin with baking powder helps draw out the moisture, so the skin gets crackling crisp in the oven. 1 (5 1/2 to 6 pounds) or 5 pounds breast, drumsticks and thigh parts 1/2 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 1 small onion, halved 1 lemon, halved 8 sprigs rosemary 4 cloves garlic cloves, smashed

2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme Cooking oil spray

1. Remove the neck and giblets and any pieces of fat inside of the bird. Rinse the bird with cold water inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken skin (breast side only) with the baking powder. Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a large baking pan and let it air-dry in the refrigera-tor for 30 minutes. Pat dry with more paper towels.

2. Spray a large baking pan with cooking oil spray. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken. Turn the chicken breast side up, twist the wing tips and tuck them behind the bird. Sprinkle chicken inside and out with the garlic powder, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Rub the spices inside and out of the bird, or if using parts, on both sides. Stuff the cavity with the onion, lemon, rosemary, garlic and thyme, or place aromatics under the chicken parts

3. Heat oven to 425 F. Place the chicken in the upper half of the oven and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes to brown and crisp the skin. Lower the oven temperature to 350 F. Spray the chicken with the cooking oil spray. Roast the chicken for an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a knife, or an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh and not touching bone registers 165 F.

4. Remove chicken from oven and allow to rest, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes before carving. Do not cover the meat, because it will steam and soften the crispy skin. Makes 10 servings.

• After Christmas sales are a great time to buy not only gift wrap (look for solid colors that you can use all year long), and holiday cards and deco-rations, but also next season’s winter wear. Things like scarves and gloves can be great bargains. And even coats can go on sale. Take advantage — especially if you have kids — and buy up. — A.K. in Tennessee

• For every side dish that requires extra preparation time, plan for one or two that don’t. For instance, if you are preparing a casserole with many ingredients and complicated instruc-tions, serve a package of vegetables that require nothing more than steam-ing.

• How to peel potatoes: Boil whole potatoes with skin on for 20-30 min-utes (depending on the size of your potatoes). You should be able to stick a knife all the way through without resistance. Then remove them to an ice bath for 10 seconds each. The skin will slip right off.

• Researchers tell us that the best time to interview is late morning on a Tuesday. You will avoid the interview-er’s likely Monday/Friday crunch, and have his or her full attention. Do your homework on the company, and get ready to shine!

• “Have kids make their own whipped cream with a jam jar! Fill a screw-top jar (glass, chilled, works really well) halfway with heavy cream, a little sugar and any flavoring extracts you like, then seal and shake. Kids also can make butter with cream in a jar. You may add a pinch of salt instead of sugar, and shake longer.” — A.A. in Florida

• Wine buyers tip: Experts say to multiply the number of adult guests by a half bottle to determine how many bottles of wine to buy for your holi-day gathering. Add an additional glass of wine per guest for every hour after dinner you expect guests to linger.
