Fun With Food
From The Herald Kitchen
By MILDRED IIUSKINS
Let us call this piece “what’s
new"!
Don’t let anyone tell you there
is nothing new under the sun. We
read about new development in
the food business almost every
day. Many of these new product
“blurbs" come to our desk and we
like to pass them along to you.
The newest bit of news has
come to us from General Foods in
the form of Shortcuts, a concise
(30 minute) home video cassette
filled with information today’s
consumer nee^s. There are quick
supper ideas, good-health tips,
shopping how-io’s and more. All of
these are clearly demonstrated
right on the television screen. It’s
the perfect solution for anyone
who wants quick and easy ways to
food into interesting and im
tive meals.
story of the video cassette
is fascinating. In early 1980
General Foods Corporation,
a a* re of the changing profile of
tMcBO’s consumer, looked for new
ways to meet changing consumer
demands. Starting in October,
1984, General Foods put the series
on five cable television channels,
chosen to reach a variety of con
sumers with busy lifestyles. The
response was enthusiastic. Soon
the editorial segments were chan
neled into 30-second spots and
placed on local TV stations and
this also made an instant hit. So,
they put short presentations into
a video cassette form that home
makers could keep at home and
turn to when needed. The
resulting 30-minute Shortcuts,
Meals in Minutes, is full of ideas
and recipes. We include some ex
amples here. You can order your
cassette by toll-free phone
1-800-472-7777 (if you have a credit
card) or by mail write to: Short
cuts from General Foods, Box
6355, Kankakee, 111. 60902. The
price is $14.95 plus $1.75 for ship
ping and handling.
If you’re watching your family’s
fat intake these days, have you
discovered how many times sim
ple yogurt can fill in for oils, and
with delicious results? Even if you
don’t especially love yogurt (and
we are one of those), you can en
joy tasty low-fat recipes. Yogurt
takes on many roles and does it
without adding a lot of fat to your
family’s diet. With garlic and dill
added, it becomes a flavorful
salad dressing, perfect with fresh
cucumbers, green beans and
cherry tomatoes. With honey,
ginger and sesame seed, it turns
into a piquant dip for fresh
vegetables or fruits and with soy
sauce and ginger, it can be used
as an easy, flavor-adding
marinade for chicken and
vegetables to be grilled or broiled
for savory Oriental kebobs.

2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame seed,

“Sunsational
Savings Time”
June 4th,
5th, & 6th
In a child whose eyes are nor
mally aligned, both eyes focus on
an object at the same time. When
the brain receives the image, it is
the result of what is seen by both
eyes fused into a single image.
This is known as binocular single
vision.
But when one eye is out of line,
the child will see two objects. One
image will show the object in its
proper position. The misaligned
eye will show the object displaced
or‘ off center, a phenomenon
known as double vision. A child
who experiences double vision will
compensate for it by ignoring the
image received by the misaligned
eye. He suppresses the distrubing
second image. The misaligned eye
then becomes a “lazy eye,” refer
red to medically as amblyopia.
Sometimes the misaligned eye
can be straightened by wearing
corrective glasses alone or in com
bination with drops and exercises.
The success of any treatment
depends on how soon it begins.
