TIDBITS® SIZZLES ASTHE HEAT IS ON!

by Patricia L. CookDuring the summer months in the northern hemisphere — NOW — the heat is on and many people head to beaches to enjoy the sun, sand and water. So, slather on a bit of sunscreen as you read some Tidbits about beaches!• Evenland-lockedareasboastbeachesontheirlakes and rivers, and people use those forsummer fun. But the majority of beach fun happensonthecoasts.TheAtlantic,thePacific,the Gulf of Mexico and, of course, Hawaii are the largest areas of coastline for North America.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A misunderstanding tests the temperament of the sometimes headstrong Aries. Instead of blowing your top, take time for a pleasant diver-sion while things cool down.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A workplace problem could make the divine Bo-vine see red. But talk it out before you consider walking out. Some surprising facts emerge that change your earlier focus.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You face a choice between ignoring your un-easy feelings about your relationship with that special person and demanding explanations. A close friend offers wise counsel.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change you’d been hoping for carries an unexpected complication. Stay the course, and things will work themselves out. Be sure to make time for family and friends.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Aspects favor spending time with loved ones. On the job, new ideas are generally welcomed. But some demands for changes could cause problems. Be ready to defend your choices.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: That workplace problem is close to being resolved with results that should please everyone. Take time off to indulge your love of fun and games.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Most of the time you are the most unflappable person around. But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s not often when someone tries to “sting” the sharp-witted Scorpion. But it can happen. Con-tinue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold judgment. Instead, open your generous heart, and offer dollops of your love and understanding.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your artistic side is enhanced with the recep-tion given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of responsibility. People trust you to give them both guidance and understand-ing.

The beach area that they discovered inWashington was not a sun-filledbeach. In fact, the area is known for lots ofrainy days. Even so, the beach, on the southwest coast of the state, is a fun spot, with more than 60 festivals and celebrations held on the Long Beach Peninsula in 2011. It is home to the World Kite Museum and also the Lewis and ClarkInterpretive Center.

HOT SALSASalsa is the Spanish word for hot sauce. Whether youlikeithot,mediumormild,itisatastethathas grown in popularity in North America in the last 20 years. •Themixingoftomatoes,onions,hotpeppers

and other ingredients for salsa has been happening since at least as far back as the1500s in Central and South America among theAztecsandothercultures.

• A Spanish priest and missionary,Alonso deMolina, is credited with calling the hot sauce mix“salsa”in1571.

• The first bottled hot sauce appeared in theUnited States in Massachusetts in 1807. In 1868, Edmund McIlhenny started bottling his hot sauce, Tabasco, on Avery Island, west of New Orleans. Tabasco hot sauce surged in popularity and continues to be a huge seller. Other hot sauces soon emerged, and many have beenaroundfor100-plusyearslikeTabasco.

• CharlesErathofNewOrleansmanufactureda salsa product in 1916 called “Extract ofLouisiana Pepper” Red Hot Creole Sauce. It, like Tabasco, was a hot sauce but not adippable salsa.

• In 1917, La Victoria Foods in LosAngeles startedmakingSalsaBrava,a true salsa. It wasn’t until 1941that Henry Tanklage formed the LaVictoria Sales Company to marketthefirstsalsahotsaucesintheUnitedStates.

Whether homemade or storebought, it is low in calories, sugar, fat and sodium, and thechunksofgardeningredientsevenprovidefiber.The main ingredients in many salsas — tomatoes, peppers and cilantro — contain vitamins A and C, and tomatoes also have potassium.

•ThepercentageofAmericanhouseholdsbuyingsalsa,increased from 16 percent to 36 percent between 1988 and 1992. Salsa passed ketchup as theNo. 1condiment in America in 2000.
