Newspaper Page TextPage 2-B — Griffin Daily News Wednesday, January 12,1977 Suffering a holiday weight hangover ' By SHIRLEY BRIGHT BOODY, Registered Dietitian Copley News Service The holidays are past, leav ing many with expanded waistlines. Many accept the gain as a part of the holiday package. Others suffer remorse and guilt for months afterward. Then there are those who ap proach the feasting with a plan and usually escape with out a change in their figure. People with a weight prob lem to begin with are the ma jor sufferers of the January weight hangovers. The bald truth is that the heavier you were as you went into the festivities, the heavier you are when you emerge. The closer you were to normal weight the less problem you suffer from holiday feasting. Those who maintain a sensi ble eating program and a proper weight during the year are very likely unaf fected by party eating. Maintaining a slender body requires eating the kinds and quantities of foods that insure health. If you eat properly most of the time an occasion al “indiscretion” will not do much damage. There are those who ap proach the parties much as an alcoholic approaches a binge — the only thing that agbkCOOKING Bv® IS FUN By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor FAMILY SUPPER Pork Chops Potatoes Stir-fried Cabbage Fruit and Cookies FIDRENCE LIN’S STIR-FRIED CABBAGE Contributed by the well known teacher of Chinese cook ing and author of cookbooks. 1 small head cabbage, about 1 pound 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 teaspoon salt >2 teaspoon sugar Remove tough outer cabbage leaves and discard. Quarter head; cut out core pieces and discard. Cut cabbage into l‘/i by 1-inch chunks and separate leaves — there should be about 6 cups firmly packed. Sprinkle with a little water. Heat a wok; add oil and cabbage; stir fry over high heat for 2 minutes, lowering heat if the cabbage starts to brown. Add salt and sugar and stir to mix well. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, covered, over high heat for 2 minutes. Toss well and serve at once. Makes 4 servings. LUNCH FOR FRIENDS Seafood Salad Rolls Frosted Cupcakes with Candied Pineapple Tea or Coffee CANDIED PINEAPPLE A reader’s request. 1 pound, 14-ounce can pineapple slices in heavy syrup 2 cups sugar 4 cup light corn syrup Thoroughly drain pineapple. In a large deep skillet over me dium heat, stirring constantly, cook the pineapple syrup, sugar and corn syrup to 234 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add half the pineapple slices in a single layer; bring to a full boil; simmer for about 15 min utes; turn slices and continue simmering until transparent around edges — 15 to 20 min utes longer. Remove slices to wire rack, placed over wax pa per, to drain. Cook and drain the remaining slices the same way. Let dry on racks, uncov ered, at room temperature for 24 hours. Store candied slices in the refrigerator. Cut in small fan-shape wedges and use as a garnish for frosted cupcakes or as an ingredient in fruitcakes. (Do what you will with the left over syrup!) DINNER PARTY Half-Shell Avocados Beef Brisket Bulgar Pilaf Broccoli Salad Bowl Orange Meringue Coffee HAU-SHELL AVOCADOS Usually well-received! l-3rd cup (generous) olive oil l-3rd cup (generous) chili sauce Ys cup red wine vinegar 2 teaspoons salt 3 ripe medium-size avocados Whisk together all the in gredients except the avocado to make a dressing; chill. At serving time, cut avocados in half length-wise; remove seeds but do not peel. Place each half on a salad-size plate; whisk the dressing again and spoon about a tablespoon of it into each avo cado cavity. Serve at once with teaspoons. Pass any extra dressing. Makes 6 servings. (The dressing may seem salty at the first bite of avocado, but it won’t as the rest of the avo cado is eaten.) . counts is quantity.. They measure the fun they had by how much they consumed. Amenities, friends and so ciability are forgotten in the attempt to eat as much as possible. Social grace should dictate your behavior. When you are invited to a dinner or party it is as an honored guest, not as a garbage disposer. It may not be easy to con trol your eating habits, but the results are well worth any effort it takes. Practice eat ing smaller quantities.

As a rule of thumb, normal servings of fruits and vegetables should be one-half cup. Meats, fish and fowl should be limited to eight ounces, or six ounces if you are overweight. Salads should be about one cup in quantity. Never excuse large quanti ties of an item because it is low in calories. Learn to con trol quantities of everything. Test yourself on how long it takes you to eat a meal. If you rush and gulp food you will inevitably eat more and in your hurry often air is swal lowed resulting in “gas” pains and bloating. Force yourself to slow down to a normal rate allowing 20 min utes for each meal. Fast eat ing is a social lapse. Avoid serving large bowls and platters of food to your family. It is far better to place normal servings on each plate and serve from the kitchen with no seconds of fered. Don’t leave dishes of nuts, fruits or candies on display in your home. These are unnec essary temptations. Place them in evidence only when guests arrive. Dear Shirley: Are carrots really good for the eyes? Do they discolor the skin? Miss B. J. Dear Miss 8.J.: They are high in Vitamin A, but there is no magic in any one food. Excessive intake of carrots or carrot juice can cause a yellowish appearance to the skin. Dear Shirley: Should I take calcium pills for leg cramps? Mrs.H.L. Dear Mrs. H.L.: No, you could develop kid ney stones from excessive calcium. Consult your doctor and let him recommend treatment.
