It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t been eating right. It’s been difficult to find food in my stores, and it’s been difficult to work up the courage to go out, fearing I might get too close to someone who is sick. It also occurred to me that not eating right was bad for my immune system, should I need to fight off an illness. I began going out just before my nearest store closed at night, dashing in for one or two items, using the self-checkout, and fleeing out the door with my haul. That’s assuming my two items were actually on the shelves. The store began holding “senior hours” early in the morning. Theoretically that would allow

Dear Paw’s Corner: Because I was possibly exposed to COVID-19 at the grocery store where I work, I have to stay home for 14 days. About three days into my quarantine, I realized that the dog food for my mixed-breed dog “Corky” is running low. I don’t have any family nearby, and I don’t want to make my co-workers nervous by asking them to bring a bag of dog food over. I thought about ordering from that online pet food delivery service, but I think it will take too long. What can I do to tide Corky over? –- Sara J., White Plains, New York

seniors to shop more safely and be able to find items on the freshly stocked shelves. In reality, said the store manager, it was likely more dangerous. He’d watched the security tapes of a few early morning openings and had seen no less than 80 seniors pushing through the doors when they opened, with no sign of social distancing anywhere. But now, in the nick of time, two stores have restarted pickup service, after having cancelled it for over a month. I place the pickup order online, select a time slot two days in advance, and drive there to have my groceries put in the car. It works, even if there are a lot of substitutions of items and a few items out of stock. Here’s a thought: Do you have a supplemental Medicare policy or Medicare Advantage? Does it cover meal delivery service, perhaps Meals on Wheels? Some do. Coverage might only apply at certain times (if you’ve just had surgery or have a medical condition), but a lot of rules are changing now. It wouldn’t hurt to check your policy. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dear Sarah: I feel for ya! My family and I are currently quarantined, too, and we’re finding online ordering of staples and pet food to be challenging. Take stock of exactly how much dry dog food you have left -- literally measure it out cup by cup into a container. Divide the total cups by the number of scoops per day that you give your dog. If the bag has less dry food than you’ll need for 11 more days, you can stretch it out and make sure Corky gets enough calories by combining his dry food with fresh food. Unseasoned, cooked rice and oatmeal, veggies like peas and carrots (but not onions, garlic, grapes or avocado), chicken, beef or salmon (unseasoned) are all safe and healthy options. Replace half to all the kibble per meal with a fresh alternative. Many communities are also spinning up “helping hand” services. Check the website of your local government, online community pages and even the local library’s site to find out if you can contact someone to drop off dog food. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Surely, not anyone who tastes this! • 2 cups cold cooked rotini pasta, rinsed and drained • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion • 1 cup sliced celery • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese • 1/4 cup dill pickle relish • 1 (6-ounce) can white tuna, packed in water, drained and flaked • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise • 1 teaspoon lemon juice • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

You can give each person a row, or label the pockets. • There’s a lot of decluttering going on across the country right now. Here’s a pro tip: For seasonal items, if you didn’t wear it last season, consider selling or donating. Same applies if it’s a specialty item (skiwear, hiking boots, formalwear) that hasn’t been used for more than two years. Many people keep items that are on the expensive side, even though season after season goes by without the item being used. If you rationalize keeping the scuba suit, plan a scuba trip!

beans that pack even more disease-fighting power. Try using canned black beans for dinner to create this easy recipe for Tex-Mex Chicken, Black Bean and Corn Soup. It’s a bowl full of comfort during this stressful time. Stay safe!

Black Beans Packed With Antioxidants I’ve always been a firm believer in the power of a well-stocked pantry, and one of the main staples in my pantry has always been a variety of canned beans. Although researchers haven’t come up with a foolproof way to avoid the more “musical” and indelicate side effect of beans, they have found yet another reason why you should eat more of them. In addition to their high protein and fiber content, a new study finds that beans, particularly black beans, are a rich but overlooked source of antioxidants and may provide health benefits similar to some common fruits, including grapes, apples and cranberries. In a study that appeared in The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids -- plant pigments -- found in the skin of 12 common varieties of dry beans. Antioxidants destroy free radicals, which are highly active chemicals whose excess has been linked to heart disease, cancer and aging. Black beans came out on top, having more antioxidant activity, gram for gram, than other beans, followed by red, brown, yellow and white beans, in that order. In general, darker-colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity, says Dr. Clifford W. Beninger, who has done research for the USDA’s Sugarbeet and Bean Research Unit. “Black beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds. We didn’t know they were that potent until now,” says Beninger. Beninger acknowledges that some of the healthy antioxidants in beans will be lost in water upon cooking, but says antioxidant levels will still remain high. Although dry beans were used in this study, frozen or canned beans may have similar antioxidant activity, he adds. The study adds antioxidants to a growing list of healthy chemicals found in beans, which also are rich in protein, carbohydrates, folate, calcium and fiber. Researchers hope to use information gleaned from this study to help develop new varieties of

Tex-Mex Chicken, Black Bean and Corn Soup You can use leftover cooked chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken (skin and bones removed, and the white and/or dark meat cut into 1-inch cubes) in this recipe. Just skip the instructions for seasoning and searing the raw chicken for 1 minute. Instead, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add the cooked chicken and spices to the oil over medium heat, stirring for 1 minute to allow the spices to bloom. Then, proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed. • 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed into 1-inch pieces • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning • 1 tablespoon chili powder • 1/2 tablespoon cumin • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth • 1 3/4 cups water • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained • 1 cup frozen corn • 2 cups salsa, mild, medium or hot • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Pepper Jack cheese, optional • Garnish with tortilla chips, avocado slices or sour cream 1. Coat the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season the chicken with the poultry seasoning, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. 2. Place the remaining tablespoon of the oil in a large pot. Turn the heat to medium high. Sear the chicken for 1 minute, and then turn the pieces over to sear for 1 minute on the other side. 3. Stir in the broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the beans, corn and salsa; return heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside and the corn is tender. 4. Stir in the fresh lime juice. Garnish with the cheese, tortilla chips, avocado slices and sour cream, if desired. Serves 6. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

I thought it always got good ratings. -– E.D.

Q: Is it true that there will be another “Law & Order” series with Christopher Meloni? I hope so. I really miss his character. -– M.R. A: It was recently announced that Meloni will be bringing his “Law & Order” character, Elliot Stabler, to a new series produced by “L&O” creator Dick Wolf, but the details haven’t been sorted out yet. Meloni left “Law & Order: SVU” in 2011, so this is certainly exciting news. Hopefully Stabler is still a detective or it just wouldn’t be the same, but since his character retired at the end of “SVU,” it’s possible his career aspirations have taken a new turn. Perhaps he’ll be a lawyer or private detective. Either way, fans are thrilled to have him back. Matt Olmstead of “Chicago P.D.” will be behind the scenes of the new show, with 13 episodes already ordered for filming. No other cast members besides Meloni have been announced. Q: Why did they decide to end “Hawaii Five-0” after this season?

A: It’s hard to believe, but “H50” has been on CBS for 10 seasons. According to TVline.com, showrunner Peter M. Lenkov stated he always tried to plan out his season finales so that they could wrap up the series should it be canceled abruptly, and this season was no different. Even though the decision to end “H50” for good was ultimately made by the network, it appears that its star, Alex O’Loughlin, gave them his blessing. “I believe Alex wanted this to be his last year,” Lenkov acknowledges. “He didn’t have a contract ... but he didn’t have one last year either, and a deal was made to extend one year at the last minute. If the studio had wanted to bring back the show for Season 11, I have to believe they would have tried to get Alex to stay. But it’s now moot.” Lenkov is extremely pleased with how the show concluded, stating the finale “checks every box with regards to what this show has always been about, which is family, which is about a connection between these people. It’s got big action, it’s got some big surprises and twists, but most of all the thing is really rooted in heart, which has been a big ingredient since the beginning.” (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

VA Garners Awards The Gears of Government Award is a program that recognizes individual federal employees and teams for performance and dedication to their agency mission. There are 29 agencies and councils in government, ranging from NASA to the Treasury Department. The Department of Veterans Affairs won 16 Gears of Government Awards this year. Here are a few of them: • Patient safety was high on the list. Procedures were put into practice to prevent in-hospital pneumonia

and the prescribing of unnecessary drugs to veterans. VA police now carry opioid-reversing medication should there be an overdose emergency. These two steps lowered VA costs by $24 million and improved care for 120,000 veterans. • Technological advances allowed eyeglasses to be created in minutes rather than a whole day. • Over 350,000 VA customer-service employees were trained on modernized and improved data systems, allowing real-time feedback. • Processing times for disability compensation claims were reduced by automating 40% of those claims. • A group of VA individuals analyzed criminal information and provided assistance to nab five criminals involved in identity theft and fraud schemes targeting VA employees and veterans. The schemes were stopped before veterans’ personal and banking information was compromised. • Changes in the way vocational rehab counselors exhibited profi-

ciency in job skills eliminated inefficiency, leaving more time for direct service to veterans. • The VET TEC group managed an educational program giving veterans more job opportunities through high-tech accelerated learning programs. • A training and response team developed a safety program for patients receiving anesthesia, which prevented the risk of emergence delirium (panic when coming out from under anesthesia). This has reduced the risk of injury for both the veterans and staff across the country. • Individuals were recognized, too, including one employee who worked with community, state and federal organizations across Illinois to benefit homeless veterans and those facing incarceration. Wow! We knew there were some good people at the VA. Now we know where they are and what they’ve been doing. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
