To Advertise in the Bingo Bonanza Newspaper Call 817-274-2020 DID YOU KNOW??? Parents have long relied on coupons to help them reduce the cost of raising their families. While it might once have been necessary to scan grocery store circulars and break out the scissors to take advantage of store discounts, more and more consumers are now turning to digital coupons offered via their mobile devices to save money. According to eMarketer, a firm that covers

digital marketing, media and commerce, the number of adults who redeem coupons via their mobile devices is expected to rise to roughly 104 million people by 2016. That's a significant uptick from the number of digital couponers in 2014, when a little more than 78.5 million adults took advantage of digital coupons offered via their mobile devices. The growing popularity of mobile coupons has sparked

increased interest among marketers, as eMarketer projects that 44.5 percent of marketers will offer mobile coupons in 2016, compared to just 36.5 percent in 2014. Families looking to save money on their nextshopping trip would be wise to take their mobile devices along with them.

The timing of when a couple cuts the wedding cake can have a specific meaning. Long ago, the cake was usually cut at the very end of the reception and would signal to the guests that it was the end of the festivities. Today, cutting the cake is an unspoken signal that represents that the formal wedding is nearing a close, and guests who would

like to leave can do so without worry of being rude. Many couples will cut the cake right after dinner as a courtesy to older guests who may want to get started on their trips home. This affords them the chance to make an earlier exit, rather than staying through the dancing that could extend into the wee hours of the night or missing the cake entirely. Cutting the cake mid-reception also serves another practical purpose for couples who are paying a photographer by the hour. Photographers typically go home after the cake-cutting, so a mid-reception cutting can save couples a substantial amount of money.

Ribs Tailor-made For Slow Cooking Enthusiasts Slow cooking has grown in popularity in recent years, and perhaps no dish is more synonymous with slow cooking than ribs. While it helps to be a professional or seasoned amateur when preparing ribs, you don't need to be a proficient pork preparer to enjoy the following recipe for "Coriander Spare Ribs With Cilantro Butter" from Andrew Schloss' "Cooking Slow" (Chronicle Books). CORIANDER SPARE RIBS WITH CILANTRO BUTTER Makes 6 servings 3 tablespoons groun coriander 2 tablespoons raw sugar 1 tablespoon ground cumin Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Finely grated zest and juice of 2 limes 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 racks of pork ribs, about 4 pounds each, preferably St. Louis cut

4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 garlic clove, minced Combine the coriander, sugar, cumin, 1/4 cup salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, and 2 cups water in a large zippered plastic bag. Seal and shake until the sugar and salt dissolve. Open the bag and add half of the lime zest and juice and half of the cilantro. Cut the rib racks in half and put in the bag with the brine. Seal the bag again, but leave a corner open and push on the bag to make sure you release any trapped air through the opening. Close the zipper completely. Massage the liquid gently into the meat and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 200 F. Put the ribs in on a rack in a large roasting pan. Pour enough of the brine from the bag into the pan so that it covers the bottom of the pan but doesn't touch the rib meat. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and steam until the rib meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 6 hours.

Coriander Spare Ribs With Cilantro Butter remove the foil, and bake untilt the ribs are browned, about 15 minutes.

While the ribs are browning, put the butter and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until the garlic sizzles, about 1 minute. Add the remaining lime zest Raise the oven tem- and juice and bring to a perature to 450 F, boil. Remove from

heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Cut the racks into individual ribs and serve drizzled with the cilantro butter. Ribs can be stored for up to 3 days in a refrigerator. Reheat gently in a low oven.

Each year brings with it a new crafting obsession. This year it's poised to be watercolor painting. Classes are bound to pop up in craft stores and other hobby centers near you. Or you can experiment at home with just a few basic tools. Another growing paint trend is to enjoy a ladies' night out that pairs painting with wine and socialization. Participants work on a painting over a predetermined number of sessions and then take their masterpieces home.

Natural elements Crafters are taking their cues from nature, and you're certain to find natural elements, such as wood, bark and burlap, in craft projects. Distressed finishes on furniture and photo frames will still demand attention. Do-it-yourself projects, such as turning a slab of a tree trunk into a table or upcycling wooden shipping palettes into shelving, also will grow in popularity. Whenever working on designs that feature natural materials, try to repurpose elements whenever possible for the most rustic, authentic feel.

MAY BIRTHSTONE

THE ‘UNCONQUERABLE’ DIAMOND

EMERALD - SPRING’S ETERNAL GEM

April is the luckiest month of all, since diamond is its birthstone. More and more women are dressing in these brilliant, dazzling gemstones as effortlessly as they throw on their favorite sweater. Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry and super models Cindy Crawford and Stella Tennant, among others, are seen everywhere wearing their diamond solitaire neclaces. Most diamonds are more than 100 million years old, and many are more than three billion years old, making diamonds the oldest of all gemstones. They also are the hardest substance known to man, made of carbon that is crystallized deep within the earth. First discovered more than 3,000 years ago in India, diamonds are found today in remote parts of the world, like Australia, Russia, Botswana and South Africa. Their unique hardness and high refractive index have inspired legends. To the Greeks, they were teardrops from the gods. To the Romans, they came from the falling stars that tipped the arrow of Eros, the god of love. For Hindus, diamonds were the lightning that armed the hand of the god Indra. Today, diamonds are more popular than ever. “To have a piece of diamond jewelry is to have the quintessential piece of jewelry,” says Melvyn Kirtley, vice president and general manager of Tiffany’s flagship store on New York’s Fifth Ave. “The rarity, beauty and quality of diamonds through history has not changed. People still desire them and desire them more than ever.” Women now are buying diamonds for themselves, notes Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center, a New York-based trade association. “What’s new is that customers are more educated, and as more and more women gain professional ranks, they want quality stones.” Vincent Polisano, a designer of the Diana Vincent collection of fine jewelry, says, “Over the last four years, the trend is toward women purchasing more important pieces of diamond jewelry, mostly in diamond earrings and larger stones for solitaire rings and necklaces.” When it comes to wearing diamonds, there is no wrong way. Diamond brooches adorn business suits. Diamond studs are worn to the gym. This

This 2.6-carat emerald-cut diamond ring from Hammerman is set in platinum. Three-stone engagement rings are growing in popularity. ground swell of wearing diamonds every day started a few years ago when designers like John Galliano and Donna Karan popularized them on their runways. Most recently, major European designers used elaborate Belle Époque settings and Oscar de la Renta showed diamonds exclusively in his collections. A lot of upwardly mobile professional women took note. They are today’s diamond customers who want diamonds, can afford them and don’t have to wait for an engagement or 25th wedding anniversary to own them. Nor is there one style or trend that customers want. “The news in diamonds,” says Polisano, “is just a lot of wonderful work by many different designers.” Never before have so many American designers marketed diamond jewelry under their own names. Noteworthy are Henry Dunay, Whitney Boin, Jose Hess and Michael Bondanza. And, at Tiffany’s, their classic six-prong setting always is popular, but the store’s Diamonds By the Yard necklaces of round diamonds set in platinum or 18karat gold typify the diamonds-for-day trend. When purchasing diamonds, customers adhere to the four C’s — cut, color, clarity and carat weight — but increasingly they seek finer cut stones. “Today, customers understand that it is the cutting that releases the true brilliance of a stone,” says Polisano. With something so precious, remember to rely on a well-established jeweler with a wide selection of merchandise who is qualified to determine a diamond’s value and quality. Also, consider diamonds in pink, yellow and blue, which are gaining popularity. Little wonder the Greeks named diamonds adamas. It means unconquerable.

How would you like to wear a gemstone that could protect you from illness and let you see into the future? According to ancient belief, an emerald could do just that. Regardless of these legendary attributes, however, few would deny the pleasure and delight of owning May’s mesmerizing green birthstone. Since approximately 2000 B.C., emeralds have been prized by connoisseurs and sought after by the rich and powerful. They were mined near the Red Sea during the time of Cleopatra, who wore her emeralds lavishly. Sixteenth century Spanish explorers in South America were amazed to find magnificent emeralds in the possession of the Aztecs and Incas. The source of many of these stones was Colombia, where emeralds were regarded by experts as the ultimate in quality and color. In fact, the world’s largest emerald crystal, at 7,052 carats, was discovered in 1969 in the Cruces Mines in Gachala, Colombia. Although Colombia remains the world’s largest supplier of the fascinating green gem, many exceptional emeralds on the market today come from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Brazil. Like the aquamarine, emerald is part of the beryl family, a normally colorless mineral. Its magic comes from minute traces of chromium, which give the emerald its characteristic spring green color. “When buying an emerald, the most important factor is color; the more vivid the green, the more valuable the stone,” says Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center, a New Yorkbased trade association. Don’t be put off by a few fissures, or inclusions, in your stone, advise experts. It is rare to find an emerald without these natural birthmarks, and they do not detract from the stone’s beauty or value as they might with another type of stone. However, these fissures do affect an emerald’s care. For thousands of years, gem dealers have sought to purify the color of their emeralds by immersing them in clear oils or paraffin. In addition to these ancient methods, clear resins often are used today to enhance the clarity of emeralds. Using hot water, steam, chemicals,

More than 27 carats of emeralds, set in 18K gold with diamonds, adorn this exquisite necklace by H. Stern. ammonia or an ultrasonic cleaner could remove oils or resins and damage the stone. Emeralds will remain beautiful and durable for years if taken care of properly. Do what the experts advise: Avoid abrupt temperature changes and contact with rough or sharp surfaces, including those of other gemstones. Store your emeralds in a fabric-lined jewelry box or wrap them in a soft cloth or tissue. To ensure a long and safe life, have your jeweler check the setting at least once a year and clean the stone at that time. Designers of emerald jewelry use a wide variety of different cuts. For example, you can choose from the traditional rectangular step-cut, known as the “emerald cut,” as well as a variety of rounds, ovals, squares, marquises or round-top cabochons. The choice of cut is a personal one and does not affect the stone’s value. While there is no official alternate choice for May’s birthstone, those seeking a different stone could choose one with an equally vivid shade of green. These include tsavorite garnet, green tourmaline or the lesser-known, but equally beautiful, chrome diopside. Whether the emerald actually has the power to heal maladies or improve vision as some ancient peoples believed, few can resist its universal beauty. Regarded as one of the rarest and most precious gemstones in the world, a verdant green emerald set into a ring or pendant can bring years of pleasure to the lucky owner.
