MakinQ Family Life More Fun YOUR RtGHTS IN Americans love to eat out. The National Restaurant As sociation estimates that Americans spent more than $128 billion during 1985 in more than 300.000 U.S. res taurants. And the average American dines out more than 150 times each year! Despite the diversity of choice in all those restau rants, customers’ needs re main constant—we all want good food, service and atmos phere to enjoy our-feasts. Yet most of us have been disap pointed dining out at least once, a disturbing experience when.you consider the antici pation of a great meal. After all, as George Bernard Shaw wrote, “There is no love sin- cerer than the love of food.” How. then, do we avoid the letdown of a bad restaurant experience? “Restaurant customers have certain rights that come with the price of their meals,” says LA Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda, baseball celebrity and renowned eater. “As cus tomers, we are permitted cer tain luxuries, and by exercis ing those rights, we can guide almost any restaurant meal to our personal satisfaction.” Lasorda cites the common example of food served under- or over-cooked. “Some people are embarrassed to send food back and would rather eat it than make a fuss. I disagree. It’s worth an extra few min utes to get your money’s worth. You don't buy clothes that don’t fit and you shouldn’t eat food that doesn’t make you smile. It is as sim ple as that!” Lasorda, known through out baseball and around the country as an avid visitor of restaurants, offers restau rant tips in his recently- penned brochure, tommy RESTAURANTS He notes that waiters and waitresses “can make or break your meal.” so do your part to establish good rapport with your server. “A waiter who anticipates a nice tip will usually work a bit harder to please you,” says Lasorda. “I expect good service from the moment I walk in the door, however, and feel comfortable complaining to the maitre d' or manager if necessary.” • TOMMY LASORDA'S GUIDE TO DINING oirr is published by CitiDining, the restaurant program that offers Citibank MasterCard and Visa card holders 20 percent reductions on their meals. The guide fea tures ^ips on choosing restau rants, ordering food, dining alone, restaurant etiquette, tipping and more. (Readers can get a copy free of charge by writing: la-sorda/citidin- ING GUIDE, Box 3376, Grand Central Station. New York. - NY 10163 or by calling 800- 645-4777.) Lasorda is a fan of buffets and salad bars (“I stop eating when my arms tire”), en dorses calling ahead for reser vations, and encourages cus tomers to send gratuities back to the chef before the meal is cooked. “Like every thing else," Lasorda says, “there is a right way and a wrong way to eat out. The right way is to do whatever makes you feel comfortable Sit back and enjoy!” SEE YOUR DOCTORl^ Avoiding Commor Lifestyle Blunders Can Help j You Avoid Heart Disease And Hypertension ; Do You Commit These Lifestyle Blunders? Sometimes way in which we live can have a lot to do with how healthy we are—and maybe how long we live. Lifestyle habits—including how much exercise you get— can sometimes make the dif ference between the presence of health or the intrusion of disease. Many people who have hypertension, or high blood pressure, don’t know it because the condition lacks symptoms — hence its nick name the "silent killer.” A number of factors contribute to hypertension. Among them: • Lifestyles: Cigarette smoking and stress. • Diet: Excessive salt and fat intake and obesity. • Hereditary: A family history of hypertension and stroke. • Ethnic: Blacks have higher incidence than whites. An easy way to test for the presence of hypertension is to have your doctor test your blood pressure. The American Heart Association recently lowered the level for defining high blood pressure to a read ing of 140/90 or higher. The extent of damage caused by the condition depends on the level of pressure. The higher the pressure, the quicker the damage to the heart. Once detected, high blood pressure can be controlled with medication. Over the years, most people with high blood pressure have been DESSERTS WITH A DIFFERENCE What could be more tempt ing than a warm, fragrant '-pple pie or cranberry cob bler, fresh from the oven. Pumpkin, mince and squash tarts star on holiday buffet ta bles. And year-round, a color ful salad of seasonal fruits, makes a refreshing grand finale to a rich meal. If family and friends take the old favorites for granted, however, you can add an in triguing flavor accent that will give them new appeal Take a tip from the Norwegians —try their unique, golden- brown Gjetost cheese, in or as a garnish with any of the above treats. Smooth, creamy Gjetost combines premium cow’s and goat’s milk with delectable re sults. The touch of natural .sweetness—a lightly “caramel” taste—complements almost any fruit-based dessert: shred it into the filling before bak ing, or slice thinly on top—10 minutes before a pie is done, for example. Served at room temperature, with ripe pears or crunchy ap- . pies, Gjetost also provides a delicious, wholesome snack. At breakfast or tea time, melt it on bran, berry, English— really any type of—muffins, instead of butter...these also make terrific midnight snacks 1 r I : liiilii ^ 0^ * @ published ii .A.

Your doctor can prescribe new medication that's ef fective for treating high blood pressure. given antihypertensive pre scription pills by their doc tors—but 50 percent of these people don’t take their medi cation. Fortunately, a more convenient medication is at hand. A small, paper-thin adhe sive patch containing a well- known drug for the treatment of hypertension is helping people who suffer from the condition overcome the neces sity to take oral medication and reducing the problem of side effects caused by the peaks and valleys of oral medication. Sold by prescription only, Catapres-TTS’ (clonidine), from Boehringer Ingelheim, is applied to the upper arm or torso and is effective for seven days.
