EDITOR’S COMMENTS
Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!
Hope all of you are enjoying your summer! The summer temps are soaring here which brings power outages. Last Saturday the electricity went off just as we were ready to checkout at the super market. The store sent everyone home and said they would call when the power was restored. I feel sorry for the super market employees who had to put away all the groceries of those who didn't return to checkout!
Watkins Sesame and Garlic Snack and Dip Seasoning and Root Beer Extract are back for a limited time. Make the delicious salad dressing featured in the recipes below. Email me if you would like recipes using this fun summer extract. Root Beer Extract Recipes
West Nile Virus carried by infected mosquitos is a serious threat this summer. Out-door activities leave you and your family at risk. There have been many confirmed cases in birds and humans. Most people bitten by an infected mosquito will have little or no symptoms. The symptoms are usually flu-like and can last for several weeks. However, the virus is a serious threat for people in a weakened conditioned or for older people. Protect you and your family with Watkins Insect Repellent Spray or Lotion.
Don't forget to enter this month's newsletter contest. Send me your favorite summer recipe to share with our subscribers.

LAUGH FOR GOOD HEALTH
As a veterinarian, I was called at home in the middle of the night by a woman in distress. She had swallowed her dog's heart worm pill by mistake. I knew it wouldn't harm her, but by law, I'm forbidden to give medical advice. "If your dog had swallowed your pill, then you'd call me," I explained. "In this case, you really should consult with your own physician." "But it's one in the morning!" she exclaimed. "I can't wake my doctor."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HEALTH TIP
iPoditis
"Can you hear me now?" is taking on new meaning.
If you've ever suspected that the popular earbud headphones, which place the sound of music in the ears, might have a deafening effect, you had it right. With the volume turned way up, even an hour a day of direct-to-the-eardrums sound could lead to hearing loss. Here's some good news: You can download free software that locks in a volume limit on your iPod.
Music addicts quickly discover that, unlike earmuff-style headphones, earbuds let them listen to tunes at a higher volume without anyone yelling, "Turn it down!" But whether the noise is hip-hop or Bach, overexposure can harm the ear's sensitive hearing mechanisms, temporarily, if you're lucky, permanently, if not.
It's a good idea to limit both volume and the time spent wearing any headphones, but especially earbuds. Some experts suggest aiming for no more than a few hours a day of exposure to sounds higher than 90 decibels (about the sound of a vacuum cleaner or lawn mower). But to keep hearing sharp for years to come, noise researchers studying headsets recently recommended using them no more than an hour a day.

Output levels of commercially available portable compact disc players and the potential risk to hearing. Fligor, B. J., Cox, L. C., Ear and Hearing 2004 Dec;25(6):513-527.
My husband gave me an iPod shuffle for Mother's Day. It's a tiny iPod with a cord so you can wear it around your neck. Instead of listening to tunes I listen to books on tape while I'm walking, sewing, or watering flowers.

COOKING TIPS
Did you know that you can make many pie recipes without the crust? Just pour the filling into a pie pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Examples: pumpkin, custard, buttermilk, chocolate cream.
When you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute 1 cup of evaporated milk for 1 cup of half-and-half.

Not-So-Sloppy Summer Suet

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup shortening
1 cup mixed bird seed
Combine all the ingredients; mix well. Put in an onion bag or suet feeder, or pack in pinecones or into the bark of trees. Then watch the birds enjoy this hearty feast. I divide suet into patties and keep in plastic bag in freezer until ready to feed birds.
