a chunk of meat is when you open up a can of SPAM. This little tin contains choppedpork shoulder and ham meat, hence the name, SpicedMeatAndHam.Firstmanufacturedin1937, the luncheon meat was a popular staple for soldiers during World War II. Since itsinvention, more than seven billion cans have been sold.

• At holiday time, many Norwegians fix atraditional dish known as Smalahove. This yummydish ispreparedfirst by torching theskin and fleece of a sheep’s head, removingthe brain, then boiling the head for about three hours. Arrange some rutabagas and potatoes around it on a platter, and there you have your Christmas feast!

•You’renotgettingdessertwhenyouorderblackpuddingafterameal.Ratheryou’llbeserveda sausage made up of animal blood, fat, rolled oats and spices. Depending on where you live, that blood could come from a pig, cow, sheep, duck or goat. Some recipes add chestnuts, sweet potato or barley to the mix. A yummy Asian snack, the pig’s blood cake, combinesblood with sticky rice, fries it and serves it on a popsicle stick.

• The process ofmaking Polish blood soup isa tricky one. The head of a live duck must be chopped off and its blood collected in the cooking pot. Throw in some vinegar, onions, celery, parsley, sugar and some dumplings, and there you have it! Some cooks like to add dried fruit, such as prunes, pears or apples.

• When folks down South talk about eatingchit’lins, they are referring to chitterlings.This lip-smacking dish is the small intestines of pigs, boiled for several hours, then battered and fried and served with vinegar and hot sauce on the side.

Shrimp TempuraShrimp tempura waits for no one -- it gets soggy quickly. Serve as soon as the shrimp are lifted out of the pot and drained.Vegetable oil for fryingFor Dipping Sauce:1/3 cup chicken broth3 tablespoon soy sauce2 tablespoon water1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar2 teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon minced and peeled fresh gingerFor Batter:3/4 cup ice-cold water1 cup cake flour, not self-rising1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1 pound large shrimp, shelled, deveined, and butterflied1. In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 1/2 inches vegetable oil until temperature reaches 400 F on deep-fat thermometer.2. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine broth, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, sugar and ginger; heat to boiling over high heat. Boil 2 minutes. Strain through sieve into small bowl and keep dipping sauce warm.3. Pour ice-cold water into medium bowl; sift flour, bak-

ing powder and salt into water. With fork, stir just until barely incorporated; a few lumps may remain.4. Dip 4 shrimp at a time into batter to coat lightly. Allow-ing excess batter to drip off, add shrimp to hot oil and fry, turning once or twice, until coating is very pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to pa-per towels to drain. Serve immediately with warm dipping sauce. Makes 4 main-dish servings.

For Beer-Batter Fried Shrimp:1 cup beer

Prepare as above, omitting Step 2. In Step 3, omit baking powder and substitute 1 cup beer for water and proceed as directed. Serve shrimp with Tartar Sauce. Makes 6 first-course servings.

Anxiety, Phobias and Panic Attacks

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the difference between anxiety and panic attack? I am claustro-phobic, and I need to fly from the West Coast to the East Coast and back. I can't do so because of my problem. I have tried therapy several times, but it did not help. I do not want to go that route again. Can you give me some suggestions on how to be able to fly with this problem? Is there a medicine I could take before I get on the plane? -- Anon.

ANSWER: Anxiety is excessive worry. In some cases, worry is appropriate. But with pathological anxiety, the worry is about things that don't merit worry or about imagined things that truly merit no concern. Under "anxiety disorders" are many differ-ent conditions, each with a slightly different set of symptoms. They all share some things in common.Panic attacks are the sudden onset of terror in places where such terror is inappropriate. The attack builds to a high point in a matter of 10 minutes or less. The attack can take place in a perfectly neutral situation, like shopping in the grocery store. During an attack, the heart beats fast, people become short of breath, and they often sweat and fear they are at death's door.Phobias are unreasonable fears of people, places and things that don't engender fear in others. Claustro-phobia is the fear of being in an enclosed space, like an airplane. Phobias can bring on a panic attack. Maybe your phobia is not so much a fear of en-closed space but a fear of flying.I'm not certain these distinctions are of importance to you. The important thing for you is to uproot

Edibles(Continued) whatever it is that paralyzes you when you must board an airplane or to blunt it so you can func-tion. Mental health professionals can get you over anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. I'm not positive what you mean by "going that route" again. Do you mean a detailed probing into your childhood and such matters? That isn't usually necessary. The doc-tor might prescribe a medicine that calms you and that you take only when needed. You won't become dependent on that medicine every day of your life. You use it only for the situation that throws you into such high anxiety. ***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband, 78 years old, fell off a ladder, and his head struck the sidewalk. I insisted he go to the emergency room, although he put up a fight.In the ER, the examining doctor gave him a very complete examination. He ordered a CT scan of his brain. The doctor found nothing wrong, and the scan was said to be normal. They sent us home.This week we got a report of the scan. It says my husband has brain atrophy. I had to look up the meaning of atrophy. My husband was never an Ein-stein, but what is the significance of brain atrophy? He carries on a reasonable conversation, and he reads the paper carefully. Need we be concerned? I'm upset. He isn't. -- W.Y.

ANSWER: Atrophy means shrinkage. If everyone your husband's age had a brain scan, most of their reports would say brain atrophy. It's something that happens with age.It doesn't imply any serious trouble. It shouldn't scare you or him.***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer in-dividual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Is It Time to Stop Driving?In spite of our reputation, the statistics say that we seniors aren't bad drivers.A 2010 report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says that, "Contrary to expecta-tions, senior drivers aren't causing more crashes than they used to." Rates of crashes in drivers 70 and older have actually declined. The catch, however, is that we must know when to stop or limit our driving. Once we start mak-ing driving mistakes, the results can range from merely annoying (having our driving restricted) to catastrophic (a serious crash or death).Ask yourself: Are other drivers honking at you more lately? Have you hit a curb or mailbox? Do you have a hard time backing up, possibly because it's difficult to turn around in the seat? Do you wonder which way to go at exit ramps? These might be signs that you need to think about whether to continue driving.

There are tools and information online to help you decide if you need to stop or limit your driving.Go to www.hartfordauto.thehartford.com and search for Crash Risk Assessment. Also look for Safety for Older Drivers. Take the quiz for driv-ers age 50 and older. Consider taking a senior driver refresher course. Go to AARP.org (or call 1-888-227-7669) and look for Driver Safety Program. Locate a class near you or sign up for the online class. Classes are often held in senior centers, adult education classes and hospitals.If you're concerned about an elderly parent who is still driving, AARP has put together an online seminar that helps explore the topic. Go to AARP.org and search for "We Need to Talk" or call the AARP number above.

Dehydration vs. Over-Hydration….

A Costly Mistake for One Washington D.C. Officer

By Dr. Tara Finkstein-Roos

Water is one of the most over looked nutrients the human body needs. It is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Water enables chemical reactions to occur, dissolves substances, removes waste, lubricates joints and regulates body temperature.

The Issue – Police Officers are chronically dehydrated due to the uniform they wear. Body armor does not breathe, nor does the nylon cover it is worn in. Whether you are on a bike or making repeated traffic stops, dehydration in police officers can occur in as little as 7 minutes. When the body becomes just 1% dehydrated – Officers can exhibit a reduced response time, a decrease in strength which can affect safety and performance, as well as a decrease in fine motor skills. By the time the body “feels” thirsty, it is already 3% dehydrated. The Problem – There appears to be a lack of knowledge surrounding both hydration and nutrition. If we are fueling our bodies with only water, then we are missing key nutrients called electrolytes. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential in the physiological functions of muscle contractions, thought processes, and ability to react to stimuli. If the proper ratio of water to electrolyte is not properly ingested, our bodies experience either dehydration, or the opposite – hyponatremia, a sodium imbalance. A few years ago, a 25 year old Police Officer in Washington, D.C. consumed an excessive amount of water with no electrolyte replacement, thereby depleting his sodium levels. As a result, the officer died. The Solution- We can learn from this fallen officer, the importance of proper balance in hydration and nutrients. With so many products on the market today, it’s hard to know which one is the best. In a

comparative study between AdvoCare’s Rehydrate, Gatorade G Series, Powerade, and Cytomax, AdvoCare was rated highest. It is important to note that each of AdvoCare’s products are formulated by a group of doctors and scientists. AdvoCare’s Rehydrate product excels in the proper ratio of 1:1 of Sodium and Potassium, as well as providing less sugar and calories than competitive products. In addition, this AdvoCare product provides more electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acid replacement, while the others brands have none. A top ingredient that distinguishes AdvoCare from other products is called Sustanine – a dipeptide of alanine and glutamine that will pull water into Muscles to prevent dehydration and muscle breakdown Keys to Success – Staying hydrated means drinking about 100 oz of water each day. Invest in 3 Nalgeen water bottles and keep them with you throughout the day. Stay hydrated with AdvoCare Rehydrate for the best in Electrolytes and Sustanine. Avoid caffeine, teas, and energy drinks that will further dehydrate you. Finally, remember the importance of the 1:1 ratio of Sodium to potassium. Stay safe and keep hydrated!

Q: During the recent storm that blew through here, my trash cans were damaged. These are heavy-duty rolling-type containers supplied by the city, and they don't blow over easily. These did, but the damage was to the lids, which got blown around in the wind. The attaching hinges, which are plastic, were broken on both contain-ers. The lids aren't too bad. Where can I buy replacement hinges to fix the lids? -- Sergei L., Newton, Mass.

A: Contact your city government about the damage. The trash cans were supplied by the city, and storm damage should be a justifiable reason to replace them without cost. Check the city's website in its city services section to see if details are published there, or call city hall.***Q: I had some renovations done to my home about six years ago. Going through my file cabi-net recently, I found many of the permits and paperwork, as well as the contractor estimates

and invoice. Do I really need to keep this infor-mation, or can I discard these old permits since the work is long since done? -- Mark, in upstate New York

A: Keep those permits and related paperwork, including inspection reports from when the renovation was completed, with all of the other papers related to your house. If you plan to sell your home in the future, that paperwork is proof that the renovations you say were made, were actually made. Keeping estimates and receipts also is useful, even a few years after the work was done, if not for tax purposes, then as additional proof that the work was done. Keep them with the permits and inspection reports.

HOME TIP: Get familiar with your city or local government's website. Most U.S. cities these days have sites that convey almost all of the in-formation you need to know about local regula-tions, permits, licensing, etc.

Savings Are Key Part of Debt-Free Living

The surprising results of a recent survey indicate that more consumers are opting to pay off debt rather than save money. An online survey by the National Founda-tion for Credit Counseling showed that 89 percent of respondents believe that right now it's more important to pay off debt than to save.It wasn't always that way. Back in 1959, when such figures were first kept, consumers were averaging sav-ings at a rate of 8.3 percent of income. At this point, the rate of saving is only at 5 percent of income, which is up from 1 percent a few years ago.Gail Cunningham, with the NFCC, is quoted in the

organization's latest newsletter as saying, ÒIn bad times, people save out of a fear of tomorrow, and in good times they spend as if there were no tomorrow.Ó We're not at either point right now, not saving out of fear nor spend-ing everything we have. Consumers are paying off debt, but they aren't saving the money that's no longer going toward those monthly payments when a debt is paid off.The problem with paying off debt to the exclusion of saving becomes apparent when an emergency strikes and ready cash is needed. Not having money saved can put consumers in the expensive position of needing to take credit-card cash advances -- if they can get them.The availability of those cash advances has provided a cushion when times are lean. However, because of job loss, lowered incomes and more scrutiny of credit worthi-ness, fewer people have that credit-card cushion during an emergency.Savings needs to become the new source of cash avail-ability. If for no other reason, money that is saved will

earn interest (although nowadays the percentage rate is pitiful), and it won't cost you the interest that a credit card will.Yes, pay off those debts, concentrating on the one with the highest interest rate first. But as soon as you pay one off, put that money into savings every month. Begin building a fund that will cover your future plans and emergencies.Your goal should be not only to be debt-free, but to have savings.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I have just read your column about "Cara," the 7-year-dog with skin allergies who itches and scratches terribly. My dog had this problem, too, and I was helped by the Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada with a very simple solution -- run a humidifier for at least eight hours per day in the room where "Cara" sleeps. I did this with my scratchy fellow, and the problem was solved within a few days! Neither my vet nor groomer had ever heard of such a thing. I also switched to Science Diet Sensitive Skin kibbles. No more scratching at my house. Hope you can pass this on to Cara's owner. -- Pattie R., via email

DEAR PATTIE: Thanks for the helpful advice! A change in diet and the humidifier may have a positive effect on Cara's allergies. Pets can be very sensitive to seemingly benign dog or cat foods, and it's often a trial-and-error process to find a diet that such pets can tolerate. Be sure to include your pet's veterinarian in the process

A very rare cheese comes from a Swedish farm that raises threemoose.Because the lactation period ofamoose lasts only threemonths, this farm’smooseproduceonly660pounds (300kg)ofcheese per year, and it sells for about $2,000 perpound($1,000perkg).
