Fun With Food From The Herald Kitchen By MILDRED HUSKEMS There seems to be a real passion in this country for all sorts of regional cooking and it has created a renewed in terest in such ingredients as corn meal which we, in the south, have always used and loved. The essential ingredient for classic southern corn breads and hearty Italian polentas, corn meal is now the focus of many contemporary dishes. We have two one-dish din ners created by The Quaker Kitchens which feature homey corn bread topping and corn bread crust. Picadillo Polenta Pie is a contemporary classic which begins with an Italian-style corn meal polenta "crust". The filling is a variation of Mexico's picadillo, which combines ground beef, veg etables and raisins with spicy seasoning. Pizza-Corn Bread Casserole combines pizza in gredients with an easy corn bread topping. Easily assem bled and baked, it's ready to serve in short order.

DOWNUM, JR= - OPTOMETRIST - WELCOME 1989! For your own eye health and good vision, keep that New Year's resolu tion and have a complete eye exami nation now. An annual eye examination keeps up with the gradual changes taking place in your eyes. Changes occur regardless of age and in most people the muscles controlling the shape of the eye's lens eventually begin to lose their elasticity, causing a gradual de cline in your focusing ability. There is blurred vision at normal reading dis tances. You may feel eye strain or get headaches after doing close work. Professionally prescribed reading glasses, bifocals or trifocals can compensate. Cataracts and glaucoma tend to occur in the 55-plus age group. Cataracts, a natural aging disorder, cause gradual clouding of the lens of the eye. Glasses can improve your vision until the cataract is ready to be removed. Glaucoma, the build-up of pressure in the eye, has no symptoms in its early stages, but it can be de tected during routine eye examina tion. Referral for treatment can pre vent vision loss and possible blind ness. The interest of better vision from the office of: A.F. Downum, Jr., O.D. Phone: 482-3218 103 W. Edenton Street Edenton, N.C.
