Making the Most of Your Smile Everybody wants healthy teeth, but we often think of “health” and “beauty” as two different categories. Many people might be surprised to learn that the latest research in dentistry indicates health and beauty are more closely linked than they seem at first glance. Dr. Patty Simon of Lakewood Orthodontics explains it this way: “When things are placed in their proper position for optimal health and function, the side effect is a prettier smile.”

Most patients understand how a filling stops decay and the spread of bacteria, but cosmetic procedures that improve the tooth shape or bite alignment can also improve health.

20 Unlisted A selection of delicious dishes you won’t find on the menu.

“For so long, cosmetic dentistry has simply been about aesthetics, or enhancing beauty,” says Dr. Ashly Cothern, DDS. “But we now know there’s a direct link between our oral cavity and the rest of our system. Bacteria that we harbor in our mouth can be easily transmitted to the rest of our body. Often when we are enhancing a smile – meaning getting rid of decay or discoloration, or crooked teeth – it’s not simply a cosmetic issue.”

Cosmetic dental procedures range from non-invasive, such as teeth whitening, to structural changes that can involve reshaping the tooth or even the gums and jaw. Don’t hesitate to bring up your concerns and questions with your dentist, who will tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Dr. Kelli Slate of Lakewood says she explores the most con-

Advanced Vascular Care

Vascular disease often has few symptoms. Yet it is a serious condition that if left untreated can lead to stroke, heart attack or even death. Fortunately, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas is one of the area’s leading hospitals for vascular disease detection, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

The Texas Health Dallas medical staff includes more than 30 cardiac and vascular specialists. Many are internationally recognized for training physicians across the world on vascular procedures. They deliver a comprehensive range of therapies, from minimally invasive treatments to specialized procedures, and can provide treatment for any fixable vein or artery. Unlike most hospitals, medical staff physicians can treat blockages in veins from head to toe. To stay ahead of vascular disease, take our online risk assessment today.

Doctors on the medical staff practice independently and are not employees or agents of the hospital except resident doctors in the hospital’s graduate medical education program.

The dreaded quesTion A wrong answer can bring a strong man to his knees I’ve been married long enough to know that when my wife asks certain questions, I can’t answer her honestly.

I want to be truthful, of course, but there are times in every relationship when an incomplete answer is much better — much safer — than the truth.

You probably know what I’m talking about when I tell you that there is simply no correct answer for this question: “Does this outfit make me look fat?” There’s even a TV commercial on the subject. And while on TV it’s a make-believe situation between two actors, in truth, the question is straight out of one of those reality TV shows.

Though it seems logical that the get-outof-jail-free answer would be: “No, that outfit doesn’t make you look fat,” there’s more to this risky gambit than meets the eye.

The path of least resistance obviously is the one that generates the fewest followup questions, but if I deliver even a correct answer too quickly, I’m likely to hear: “You didn’t even look to see what I’m wearing!”

And if I deliver the correct answer with too much deliberation, I’ll hear: “Why did you take so long to decide? It DOES make me look fat, doesn’t it?” followed by a considerable amount of mirror-gazing and consternation.

Either way, the discussion continues, and as it does, the situation grows more and more perilous.

I can offer up the tried-and-true “Everything you wear makes you look beautiful,” but I’ve learned that’s a hard line to deliver sincerely under pressure, particularly if the dress or top or pants or shoes or jew-

elry or makeup in question don’t immediately conjure the word “beautiful.”

Or I can try the “turn around and let me take another look” approach, which makes me appear focused on the issue at hand while also generating precious additional seconds to consider my options.

The goal, I’ve found, is to maneuver things to the ultimate sweet spot comment from her: “You know, I’m only wearing this because I want to look good for you.”

At that point, the smart money says to grab her lovingly, hold her close and whisper sweet things into her ear. If done properly and convincingly, the situation will be disarmed, and it will be safe to return to watching sports on television.

But deliver it with even the slightest waver of authenticity, or be caught glancing at the game score while giving a consoling neck rub, and I’m likely back on the path to another series of questions, beginning with the more direct: “You haven’t been listening to anything I’ve been saying, have you?”

Which, if I actually have been listening, leads to an attempt to circle back around to how great the shoes or top or pants or jewelry or whatever looks on her.

And if the blank look in my eyes proves I actually haven’t been listening (and I am only supposing here because this scenario has never happened to me), and if I don’t answer quickly enough or with enough conviction about how lovely she and her accessories really are, all of this leads to the only thing more dreaded than the question.

That would be “The Look,” which will be accompanied by another series of questions between which there is no time provided to answer because, it would appear, I’ve already said and done enough.

Teenagers no longer welcome at NorthPark (after 6 p.m. and without their parents, that is) Advocate writer Carol Toler, who has raised four teenagers of her own, learned that NorthPark had instituted a crackdown on teens loitering at the shopping center, and took to prestonhollow.advocatemag.com to let neighbors know.

May 9: Parents of teenagers are being asked

by NorthPark Center to accompany their kids after 6 p.m., according to a new code of conduct issued by management. “Parents and legal guardians may accompany no more than six unrelated persons 17 years of age and under,” say the new rules, so one mom could supervise a group of six kids, but no more. … The new regulations have been emailed to parent groups and are in response to previous reports of crime and gang activity in and near the mall. Safety questions have been recently raised from parents in Preston Hollow, Highland Park and other nearby neighborhoods, long comfortable with dropping off carloads of teens and preteens for dinner and a movie, or shopping and ice cream.

May 10: After hearing from a bevy of parents to teen and preteen movie-goers (and presumably the folks at AMC), NorthPark Center has issued a revision … People 17 and younger may attend movies at AMC Theatre unaccompanied, provided they go directly to and from the theater from the parking lot and provided they are gone by 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and by midnight Friday and Saturday. This exception will allow parents to drop kids off in groups without coming in to watch the show over their shoulders, and permit good ol’ American date night for 16- and 17-year-olds who’ve driven themselves to the mall. Lingering in the food court, apparently, will not be allowed.

To read Toler’s full post and find the new code of conduct, visit prestonhollow.advocatemag.com and search NorthPark.

learning to live again In March 2007, Jennifer Griffin checked herself into Medical City Hospital with flu-like symptoms. She left three months later with her hands and lower legs gone. “I remember seeing my hands change,” she says, having been in and out of a drug-induced coma when doctors told her they had to amputate. “I still had sensation. I tried to pick up a glass, and it just slid right through.

It was a surreal moment.” Griffin had an abscess on her ovaries that ruptured and caused an infection that seeped into her bloodstream. To fight off such an infection, the body’s blood rushes to all the vital organs, abandoning the extremities. The 35-year-old newlywed and successful paralegal had to relearn how to walk, how to eat, how to drive, how to shower, how to put on her makeup. “I became a child again,” Griffin says. “I knew that was my opportunity to take control.” After months of rehab, the Disney Streets resident recovered with strong support from friends and family. “I was 35 at the time, and I started thinking about what this kind of experience means to younger kids. The sooner they build confidence, the further they can go in life.” So Griffin launched the P.L.A.Y. Foundation (Positive Living for Active Youth). The nonprofit provides $2,500 grants for child amputees to pursue their passions in academics, sports or the arts. It began locally, but now Griffin and her team are receiving applications from across the country. In three years, they’ve given $65,000 in grants. But before she could empower others, Griffin had to embrace her own life as an amputee. “It’s really about acceptance of yourself and of human curiosity. Of course I get the looks, but I’ve found that most people are just curious and not trying to be rude. I’m way beyond that now. A lot of people have benefited from my foundation. That’s more important to me than having a foot. That doesn’t define me.”

Founded in 1890 by freed slaves, Pin Point is the last enclave of its kind, untouched by development along the coast.

The family-owned oyster factory sustained the area until it closed in 1985. Today, it houses the Pin Point Heritage Museum, which aims to preserve the history and honor the people who still call Pin Point home. “It’s one of the last black-owned properties on the

East Coast,” Bednarz says. “It became more than that. It became about family, culture and dignity.” He spent one year interviewing the residents of the unincorporated town on the edge of society.

traffic lights

It can be frustrating to drive through our neighborhoods and have to stop at every single red light along the way.

It seems counterintuitive. All the lights should be in sync, right?

Dealing with a traffic light issue that involves multiple intersections is costly and time-consuming. “These are pretty large jobs,” says Van Cook, traffic-engineering A: Go ahead — submit a request via 311; the answer may be complicated. assistant in the city’s transportation department. “It’s not an easy business to do.”

Usually, funds come from the North Texas Council of Governments, the federal government or bond packages.

Every situation is different, but here’s how it works: Most lights in the city have the same signal cycle, which helps establish a relationship among them to create a smooth and harmonious traffic flow. When studying a particular area, engineers count the cars and put them into a model that promotes progression. They recently completed one such project on Preston from Northwest Highway all the way north past LBJ. “That area has recently been done within the last few years,” Cook says. “So, there shouldn’t be any issues there.” The timing of lights corresponds with rush hour to move cars in and out of Downtown efficiently. So, those traveling during non-peak times may not have as smooth a ride, oddly enough. “It’s not physically possible to provide a perfect traffic flow in both directions at all times. That’s why we like one-way roads. We could do a lot more with one-way roads.” Still, calling 311 is a good starting point. Your streetlights might already be undergoing improvements, or they could be considered for future projects.

Delicious Cocktails

I

t’s no secret — Inwood Lounge is known for its martinis. But sipping on one of these classic cocktails inside the dark, old-fashioned, neon-lined tavern at the beginning of happy hour makes it feel exclusive, almost underground.

Inwood Lounge has been a popular martini bar since it opened in the 1980s inside the historic Inwood Theater, a landmark since 1947. One of the most inventive martinis is the lychee with Absolut Pears vodka, SOHO, lychee, grapefruit and lemon juice. The other more decadent one is the chocolate cake with Stoli vanilla vodka, Godiva dark chocolate and Frangelico.

the pink stuff Cline Mouvèdre rosé ($12) California Welcome to the 10th annual Advocate rosé column, where — despite the changes in the wine business over the past decade and even though the wine wise guys insist that rising prices are just around the corner — you can still buy a pretty good rosé for $10.

In this, rosé is close to the perfect cheap wine. It’s fresh and easy to drink, pairs with almost any kind of food, and its style means that it’s easier to make well than cheap red wines. What else do you need to know about rosé? ø Gdh ø ^hcÈiø l]^iZø o^c[VcYZaø dgø l]^iZø bZgadiø dgø l]ViZkZg #øRosés are pink wines made with red grapes, and they aren’t sweet. Why are they pink? Because the red grape skins are left in the fermenting grape juice just long enough to color the wine (which is how all wine gets its color, actually). ø Gdh hÈø [gj^iø ÒVkdghø VgZø bdhianø gZYø WZgg^Zh!ø a^`Zø higVlWZggnødgøXgVcWZggn!øVcYøhdbZi^bZhøZkZcølViZgbZadc#øRosés should be served chilled, and if you put an ice cube in, no one will tell the wine police. ø9dcÈiøWjnødaYøgdh #øLook for 2011, and be careful with anything dated before 2010. Rosés are not made to age, and go bad quickly.

What should you drink? The Yalumba ($10) is an Australian rosé with flavors of mango and lemon, believe it or not, and just 11.5 percent alcohol. It’s as close to a perfect New World rosé as you’re going to find. The Cline Mouvèdre ($12) is one of the best California rosés I’ve tasted in years, bone dry and not much fruit (maybe some cranberry) and a longish mineral finish — more French in style than Californian. The Falesco ($10) is one of my all-time favorites, made by one of Italy’s great producers, with strawberry fruit and a soft elegance.

—Jeff Siegel JEFF SIEGEL’S WEEKLY WINE REVIEWS appear every Wednesday on prestonhollow.advocatemag.com

Ask the wine guy Why don’t Americans drink more rosé? o reasons: They confuse it with te zinfandel, and think it’s sweet. they don’t think it’s real wine, mething inferior to a red wine. It ifferent, of course, but it’s suped to be — bright fruit and no nins.

mushroom and ham soufflé

PDGH SRVVLEOH E\

Soufflés befuddle most of us, even though they’re just a fancy version of a baked omelet. This is made without fancy equipment. But if the directions still seem intimidating, just sauté the vegetables, mix with the eggs, and bake in a 375° oven for 20-30 minutes until the eggs set. Any rosé is a wonderful match with this.

GROCERY LIST 3 egg yolks, 5 egg whites 4 oz chopped ham 1 c sliced mushrooms 1/2 c fresh bread crumbs 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp canola oil 1 1/2 c chicken or vegetable stock salt and pepper to taste

12: 7+528*+ 129(0%(5 ZZZ GDOODVDUERUHWXP RUJ

DIRECTIONS

1. Sauté the mushrooms in olive oil. When soft, remove from pan and set aside.

2. Use butter to grease the sides of a 6-cup gratin dish that is about 1 1/2 inches deep.

Mix the bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons of the parmesan, and use half of the mixture to coat the sides and bottom of the gratin dish. Shake out the excess.

3. Heat the canola oil in the sauté pan and then add the flour. Mix with a whisk over medium to high heat for a minute or so, and then add the stock and salt and pepper. Keep whisking until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and add the egg yolks, whisking well. Mix in the mushrooms and ham.

4. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they are firm but still soft. Fold the egg whites into the sauce mixture, along with the remaining 5 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Pour this mixture into the prepared gratin dish, and sprinkle the top with the remaining bread crumb mixture, 5. Bake in a 375° oven for 30-35 minutes, until the soufflé is puffy and brown. It should be set inside, but still a little moist. Spoon onto plates, and serve immediately.

You just have to know. story by emily toman photos by alison Fechtel, Danny Fulgencio & can türkyilmaz

Only so much ink will fit in print. Ask any graphic designer. That’s one reason almost every restaurant serves a dish or two that is not on the menu. Some are famous. Others are the result of cravings, hangovers and happy accidents. Even though one or two might annoy the cook or waiter, these off-the-menu dishes keep customers smiling.

Princi Italia This dish has followed chef Kevin Ascolese ever since his days at Sfuzzi in Uptown. Wherever he goes, it goes. “We developed it there, and it has just kind of taken off,” Ascolese says. “We’ve been doing it forever.” Now, as Princi Italia’s executive chef, he continues to make the Italian comfort food favorite for anyone who asks. The dish combines Romano-crusted chicken and linguini with tomato-basil sauce. “It’s like a steak-and-potato dish but with chicken and pasta.” princiitalia.com, 5959 Royal, Suite 707, 214.739.5959 20 pres tonhollow.advocatemag.com JUNE 2012

Alaskan salmon at Rex’s Seafood No, this seasonal staple never appears on the menu at Rex’s. Seafood lovers just know when it’s time for great-tasting Alaskan salmon. It’s available mid-May through mid-October, following the fish’s life cycle. “The salmon swim upstream and go live in the ocean for two or three years,” owner Rex Bellomy says. “Then, they swim back downstream, and we pick them up from where they were born. Wild salmon has a distinct difference in flavor.”

Bellomy buys whole salmon, cuts it to order and serves it with any side.

If you are one of those who religiously orders the brisket tacos and a Mambo Taxi at MiCo, we don’t blame you. But we do want you to know that there is more out there. Mi Cocina’s Juan “Billy” Aguirre filled us in on a couple of secret items that the chef will happily whip up on request.

The Señor Chico, for example, is a grilled chicken breast with chili guajillo sautéed in garlic and olive oil, with mushrooms, green rice and avocado salad. “It is delicious,” Aguirre assures.

The chile relleno, despite its absence from the menu, is also frequently requested, he says.

“It’s a poblano pepper, deep fried and filled with Monterrey cheese and your choice of shredded chicken or ground beef — if you want to upgrade to fajita it’s possible, too — topped off with ranchero sauce. It also comes with green rice and beans and our famous Mexican coleslaw.”

Twice-cooked pork at Royal China

Only regulars know about this special dipping sauce for shrimp and oysters at the Dallas-based seafood chain. The salsa-like mixture combines cocktail sauce, Tabasco, horseradish, lime, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and a secret ingredient.

Some dishes are just too difficult to make for the masses. Royal China’s twice-cooked pork takes about double the time, hence the name. The pork is pre-cooked, thinly sliced and stir-fried with vegetables. “It’s very rare, but we do make it on request,” general manager Tom Chang says.

Branzino at Zio Cecio Cucina Italiana You never know what chef Francesco Farris has up his sleeve at Zio Cecio, a restaurant that focuses on coastal cuisine from Sardinia. He has several off-menu items that simply don’t store well, so he can’t always keep them in stock. “I don’t promise quantity, but I promise quality,” Farris says. The branzino fish substitutes the large red snapper for the smaller Mediterranean sea bass. It’s salt-crusted, baked in a wood-burning oven and filleted tableside. If you’re lucky, you might be there when Farris has a 20-pound succulent pig that cooks for eight hours until perfectly tender.

Coconut shrimp roll at R+D Kitchen Putting a special dish on the menu guarantees it will be available. Francis Luttmer, manager at R+D Kitchen, would rather not run that risk with items such as the coconut shrimp roll with spicy mustard. “We hate to say we ran out. We don’t want unhappy customers,” he says. “Some days we run out at 1 p.m., other days we might run out at 5 p.m.” Another off-menu tip: Always ask about “the other fish” of the day. You might score swordfish, which never appears on the menu.

I want to be one of those people who really does “give thanks in everything,” one of those who always manages to find some good news within the bad, one of those who has a gift for encouraging others. I’d love to think that I had the gift of giving hope.

In fact, if you’re having a tough day today, I wish I could borrow my friend’s smile and shine it on you. I know. After all, it used to do me a world of good.

PRESENTED BY COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Making the Most of Your Smile Everybody wants healthy teeth, but we often think of “health” and “beauty” as two different categories. Many people might be surprised to learn that the latest research in dentistry indicates health and beauty are more closely linked than they seem at first glance. Dr. Patty Simon of Lakewood Orthodontics explains it this way: “When things are placed in their proper position for optimal health and function, the side effect is a prettier smile.”

Most patients understand how a filling stops decay and the spread of bacteria, but cosmetic procedures that improve the tooth shape or bite alignment can also improve health.

“For so long, cosmetic dentistry has simply been about aesthetics, or enhancing beauty,” says Dr. Ashly Cothern, DDS. “But we now know there’s a direct link between our oral cavity and the rest of our system. Bacteria that we harbor in our mouth can be easily transmitted to the rest of our body. Often when we are enhancing a smile – meaning getting rid of decay or discoloration, or crooked teeth – it’s not simply a cosmetic issue.”

Cosmetic dental procedures range from noninvasive, such as teeth whitening, to structural changes that can involve reshaping the tooth or even the gums and jaw. Don’t hesitate to bring up your concerns and questions with your dentist, who will tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Dr. Kelli Slate of Lakewood says she explores the most conJUNE 2012 speci al adverti sing secti on 29

But the dentist may feel they could do a lot better job if whitening and contouring of the teeth.” Contouring, Dr. Slate the teeth were straighter.

The new spot will be in the old McCormick & Schmick’s space between Neiman Marcus and Dillard’s and is expected to open sometime this fall. Seasons 52, a national chain with 22 locations around the country, is known for its seasonal menu, which changes four times a year and offers weekly specials from flatbreads to Cedar plank salmon. It’s relatively healthy, too, with no dish topping 475 calories. The wine list — a selection of 100 wines with 52 offered by the glass — was created by master sommelier George Miliotes, one of only 118 professionals in North America who hold that title. The new NorthPark location will feature a custom-built wine cellar and live piano music nightly.

charge at Walgreens. Police told Mann that criminals often pass credit card numbers to friends to use the card numbers at stores very quickly or to someone they know who might work at certain stores.

Mann appreciates her credit card companies contacting her so quickly and taking care of the illegal charges. She says police arrested someone with merchandise in the area soon after the crime, and she is hoping he is the suspect in the theft.

Dallas Police Lt. Richard Dwyer of the North Central Patrol Division says those who experience this type of crime should do just as Mann did — immediately contact banks and cancel credit cards.

The Victim: Linda Mann “Unfortunately in this The Crime: Burglary of a motor vehicle day and age, people must Date: Thursday, April 12 remember to lock their Time: Between 8:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. cars — even if it is parked in front of their house durLocation: 5800 block of Gramercy ing the daytime,” he says.

“In addition, try not to at 8:53,” Mann says. “Within 30 minutes leave things of value laying in plain view.

She parked the car on the street in front of her home and ran inside to quickly change clothes and head to her meeting.

Mann says she was not inside more than 30 minutes. It was just enough time for someone to break into her car and steal the black bag and wallet she had accidentally left inside.

The credit card charges began almost immediately.

“The first charge on my credit card was

11:30 a.m., all her credit card companies had left messages about curious charges on her accounts. At Lowes, $900 had been charged, $300 at Albertson’s and another

ly at a major chain store to buy gift cards.

These cards are used at another store or sold to someone else.”
