ewcastle resident Shanti Landon didn’t have it easy growing up. Her father lived with undiagnosed schizophrenia and was often abusive to her mother. “There was a lot of heartache in our house,” Landon confesses. Later in life, she reconciled with him, and came to terms with the fact that his actions were the result of untreated mental illness. Landon’s traumatic childhood made her especially aware of all the children in the world who come from unstable environments. She and her husband, Chris (who she lovingly refers to as “Superman”), now have five children, one biological and four they adopted from the foster care system. “If I ever see a kid in need, I feel this empathy,” Landon shares. “Kids don’t have a choice—they can’t 12 stylergbr.com - March 2015
stand up for themselves.” In addition to her busy life as a homeschooling mom, Landon is the author of Life Made Full (lifemadefull.com), a blog that promotes a healthy lifestyle through the Paleo diet, regular exercise and daily meditations. The blog emerged after her husband was diagnosed with celiac disease, and its success (it gets thousands of hits each day) inspired her to start taking on public speaking engagements and to write 30 Days to a Life Made Full, a guide for those considering the Paleo lifestyle. Despite all of her activities, Landon’s first priority is being a mom. “You only get your kids once, for 18 years,” she explains. “I feel like I get to have a lot of fun with [them], and to me, that’s priceless.” — Amber Foster

magine sinking your teeth into a flavorful, rich and tender braised lamb shoulder that’s perfectly seasoned with Italian parsley, rosemary, garlic and olive oil, and topped with olive salsa verde (made with green olives, parsley, rosemary, chives and mint). Even though the lamb is the star of this mouthwatering entrée, the olives also get top billing. While this dish features green olives, there are many other varieties of olives that can be enjoyed in a plethora of dishes. Olives are perfect to use in a tapenade, in your favorite pasta or on a vegetable crudité platter.
DID YOU KNOW? Olives and olive oil are major players in the Mediterranean diet, which has long been thought to have numerous health benefits. Olives contain monounsaturated fat, which is thought to decrease blood pressure, and also have oleuropein, which can decrease oxidation of LDL cholesterol. They’re also a good source of vitamin E and contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients.

augmentation versus dermal filler for facial wrinkles?
A: Fat augmentation (fat grafting) and dermal fillers are both used to replace the supportive volume lost from the face over time—which causes skin droopiness—and lift facial tissues. There are pros and cons to both treatments, and every patient should be evaluated individually to understand the risks and benefits of each one. Injectable fillers—the lower-cost “quick fix” for revolumizing the face—could be considered, and dermal fillers are ideal when a simple office visit is preferred. Fat grafting, which uses fat taken from one area of the body and places it into another, is a more involved procedure; but since it gives the doctor additional fat to work with, it allows rejuvenation of the entire face. Not all of the fat grafted will survive, however, and additional grafts may be desired. The good news? The fat that does survive will survive for life. —Celia Remy, M.D. Vitality Stem Cell & Aesthetic Medicine Roseville, 916-797-1131 Folsom, 916-508-8640 vitalitymedicallaserandskin.com
almonds. Making sure the olives you purchase aren’t soft or mushy will help to enhance your tasting experience. If you opt for the canned variety and don’t use all the contents after opening, store the excess in a sealed container with the brining liquid in the refrigerator, where they’ll keep for one to two weeks. Olives purchased in a glass jar can be safely kept in the refrigerator for up to two months.
SELECTION AND STORAGE To purchase olives, look no further than your local supermarket where you’ll find them in jars, cans and oftentimes in an olive bar, which many specialty markets offer. These bars make it convenient to taste-test varieties that might not be familiar to you. Most often, olive bars offer whole olives but many have olives that are stuffed with items like peppers, garlic and

Studio Movie Grill
ocklin’s new Studio Movie Grill has finally done the unthinkable: serve real food at the movies. And believe it or not, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg! This place combines a trendy restaurant with the classic movie-going experience, creating the ultimate dinner-and-a-movie date. Luckily for newbies like me, the lovely staff is happy to explain the process. After I choose an assigned seat and got my ticket, I was tempted to linger by the gorgeous neon bar area and have a cocktail, but I stayed strong (and sober!) and found my assigned plush comfy chair to peruse the food menu instead. I was so excited to press the big red button on my swivel table to call the server and order the Coconut Chicken Tenders with added Shrimp, which came with a petit bowl of chilled coleslaw, a bed of fries, and a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce. Let me tell you, biting into a hand-breaded tender with panko breadcrumbs and coconut flakes while watching Meryl Streep belt out a number from Into the Woods really ups the satisfaction of the food and the experience.

Raising a Team Player
I
by Tom Mailey
t doesn’t start with how loud you cheer or how big their names and jersey numbers are when you place them proudly onto the windows of your SUV. It isn’t the gear—not the glove, the cleats, the $200 carbon fiber sunglasses, or the $500 dollar bat made with bits of actual metal from Babe Ruth’s spikes. It isn’t the league, the team or the neighborhood you come from. It isn’t private instruction or expensive skills camps. It isn’t evil eye necklaces, lambskin batting gloves or endless bags of ranch-flavored sunflower seeds. It doesn’t matter how fast a kid runs, how far they throw or how hard they hit. It doesn’t matter if they bat first or fourth or last, if they’re shortstop, starting pitcher or right field. It matters not one bit if they play all game, every game or the minimum two-innings/one at-bat. It doesn’t matter 18 stylergbr.com - March 2015
if they’re an all-star or an also-ran, if they make the game winning catch or hit the walk-off home run. It doesn’t matter how many times they’ve seen The Sandlot. Your dreams for them of a scholarship— or, let’s just be honest, a lengthy career in the major leagues? None of it makes any difference. What does? It matters that their hat is on straight, pants are zipped and they didn’t forget their mitt. It matters that they show up— to practices, as well as games—and take the field, regardless of whether they’re a 12-year-old vacuum cleaner at third or a clover-picker doing the pee-pee dance in right field.
All that other stuff...none of it matters. These are the things that do. Because how they are as a player is a good indication of how they’ll be as a person. And who they are as a person will matter far more than how they ever were as a player. And all of that? All of that starts with you.

good game
What matters is how they are as an opponent. Do they play with class and purpose? Play hard but fair? Are they confident but not cocky? Do they win with grace, or lose with dignity? And, win or lose, do they go through the handshake line repeating “good game” and meaning it every single time? What matters is how they react when an umpire makes the worst call in the world. Do they glare and whine, throw their helmet and slam their bat to the ground; or bite their lip and respect the call—even if the man on the moon could see that it was a ball? Do they respect the coaches? Do they listen and try and hustle? Do their time on the pine without pouting? Do a lap without question when the coach catches them not paying attention at practice? Do they get the message that the lap was supposed to send? Most of all, what matters is how they are as a teammate. It’s easy to praise the star— to share a laugh with the kid who went yard last inning. But how do they treat the kid at the end of the bench...the one who just muffed a grounder that allowed two runs to score? Do they encourage, or discourage? More importantly, how do they treat the teammate who muffs more than they ever scoop up, who runs like they’re dragging an anchor, who throws like they’ve never played catch with their dad because, well, maybe they don’t have a dad? Most importantly, how do they treat that bench kid who finds himself or herself at bat at the end of the game with two outs, down one and the tying run on third, and instead of knocking in the tying run, they strike out?

ariel jean 22 stylergbr.com - March 2015
Sensational Singer, Songwriter and Strummer by Heather L. Becker // photography by Dante Fontana
F
or sultry songstress Ariel Jean, singing and songwriting have long been a part of her life. With a home video as proof, she began singing at the age of two and recording songs on her karaoke machine at age 11, until finally asking her father to teach her to play guitar. With just two days of lessons and three chords under her belt, Jean wrote her first song. Years later, the Loomis-based musician (and former Babes4Change group member) has blossomed into her own, harmonizing country blues to crowds at local venues such as Luna’s Café & Juice Bar, Bar 101, Country Club Saloon, and Fox & Goose.
HLB: What drew you to country/ blues? AJ: I love all types of music. Since the early years of songwriting, my music has morphed and gone through different phases as I listen to certain styles of music depending on how I’m feeling. I didn’t really get into playing blues until I turned 21. I started playing at open mic nights and finally played at the Owl Club in Roseville, where I met some amazing musicians. The owners love music and really supported me and encouraged me to never give up.
HLB: What’s your songwriting process? AJ: My process involves a space I can go to all by myself, with a cold beer and passion! Typically I jam on my guitar, come up with a chord sequence that reflects however I’m feeling and then improvise lyrics until I like what I’m saying. I’ve written songs that reflect exactly how I’m feeling like “Take Me Home Tonight,” which I wrote for my
husband for our wedding day. Other times I’ve written songs that have nothing to do with how I’m feeling—the lyrics came with how I thought the song sounded.
HLB: What inspires you? AJ: My inspiration comes from many different sources: God, my family and husband, love and other musicians. The religious music I’ve written, however, I usually keep between God and I. I’m also really inspired by strong female artists. I love seeing other women on stage rocking out with their bands or writing their own music. Girl power!
HLB: When can we expect your first album? AJ: Although I’ve written over 25 songs, I haven’t recorded an album yet. Recently I’ve been working on Pin Up Girl, which is set to be released later this year. The feel of the album is definitely blues/jazz/soul and has some of my favorite songs [on it]. My band and I are working on getting into the studio as soon as possible. Until then, you can access my songs on YouTube and ReverbNation.
HLB: What are your dreams for the future? AJ: Definitely to inspire others with my music, play as much as possible at venues, and get my music out there, into the hands of people who love it. The fans are what make this experience so amazing. When I see people dancing to my music or wanting to listen to my songs, it fills my spirit with joy and makes the journey worth it.

mind over matter The Truth About Memory Loss by Linda Holderness

impaired.” Kaiser Permanente Neurologist Kaho Wong, MD, echoes that sentiment. “Occasional forgetfulness as we age is normal because we get more things piling up in our brains, but there’s a difference in forgetting the password of an email account you don’t use frequently versus having trouble navigating the email program itself.” Sarah Tomaszewski Farias, PhD, and associate professor in neurology at UC Davis, notes certain red flags when interviewing her clients. Some of them include: Can the person recall information with hints? Does a loved one have concerns? Does the person forget to pay bills, let food burn, get lost while driving or completely forget a recent event? There’s no cure for memory loss, but there is some good news: More than half of us will remain cognitively intact—and the key may be our lifestyle choices.
five times a week.” Wong adds, “[You] have to sweat—there’s no easy way out.”
2/NEVER STOP LEARNING Challenge your brain, Schafer urges; study a foreign language, take piano lessons or paint—all help build new circuits in your brain.
3/ENGAGE IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES “Socializing is one of the best cognitive exercises you can do for your brain,” says Kile. Large social networks may stimulate the formation of brain synapses.
4/EAT HEALTHY Kile and Wong recommend a Mediterranean diet, which may lower the risk of Alzheimer’s. Kile also encourages adding a source of omega 3—preferably from fatty fish. A diet low in sodium and cholesterol may help prevent vascular dementia, Wong adds.
1/GET PHYSICAL EXERCISE “Exercise,” Schafer says, “pretty reliably decreases the rate of memory loss.” We don’t have to run marathons, but Farias cautions that it doesn’t mean taking a stroll either. She recommends a brisk 45-minute walk, one that increases your heart rate, four to
5/PROTECT OF YOUR BRAIN Avoid injury. Wear a helmet when you bike or ski. Don’t abuse drugs or alcohol. Choose foods wisely. According to Schafer, “Your brain health is the sum of what has happened to [it throughout] your life.”

“I
would have introduced you,” my friend told me after greeting an acquaintance recently, “but I couldn’t remember her name.” Then, laughing, she added: “I’ve known her for years. I must be getting Alzheimer’s.” We’ve all had similar experiences and jest about getting older, but privately wonder: Are we OK? According to four local experts, the answer is a nonreassuring “maybe.” The number one cause of memory loss, by far, is aging. Brain scans clearly show that as we grow older we lose brain cells. “Nearly everyone loses some memory with age,” says John Schafer, MD, and a neurologist with Mercy Medical Group. “Brains shrink as we grow older.” In our 80s and 90s, a chilling 30-40 percent of us will have Alzheimer’s disease—the most common and most dreaded form of dementia, in which brain cells die off rapidly. So, when do we worry? “Forgetting names or even having trouble recalling words is pretty common,” says Shawn Kile, MD, and a neurologist with the Sutter Neuroscience Institute Memory Clinic. “It becomes worrisome when memory loss grows progressively worse or other cognitive functions (such as reasoning and language) become

classroom commotion Common Core State Standards
E
ducation has come a long way since the three R’s—reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. Today, schools are teaching core subjects with a new set of standards called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Approved in 2012 by the California Department of Education, the new standards are being implemented in English and math for approximately 6.2 million students in grades K-12 throughout the state. To date, 44 states have adopted the CCSS. Having the same standards benefits students nationwide, by offering a consistent education—even if they change schools or move to a different state. Educators agree that the new standards provide a practical way to prepare children for life’s challenges by learning the real-world skills they will need, step-by-step. “What we’re trying to achieve with the Common Core is to help students do more than simply memorize facts,” says Giorgos Kazanis, public information officer with the California Department of Education. “We want them to engage, to think critically and
30 stylergbr.com - March 2015
to solve problems.” The Common Core was designed to retain the best content from previous standards and replace outdated ways of learning. “The new standards provide teachers the time to teach them well,” Kazanis explains, “[which] takes a different kind of teaching than the scripted lessons, the routine question-and-response we saw with the old standards.” Schools and teachers are taking on the Common Core standards with determination. Dave Scroggins, director of curriculum and instruction for the Rescue Union School District, says he feels that the new standards are better overall. “A variety of academic skills are emphasized, such as the ability to locate and cite evidence in different forms of text,” he explains. “The ability to think critically and explain or justify that thinking to others, as well as perseverance in solving challenging mathematical problems [are other] skills called to the forefront.” The Rescue Union School District, like many districts, has spent time training its teachers on the CCSS content and expecta-
tions. “Early-release Mondays are used to provide staff development around the Common Core,” Scroggins says. “Several of our teachers have [even] received additional training and currently serve as Common Core expert teachers for the El Dorado County Office of Education.” Parents, however, have not readily welcomed the Common Core, due to its radically different approach, and voice frustration in trying to help their grade-school-age kids with math homework. They say that with the new conceptual math—not just learning that two plus two equals four, but how the numbers actually relate to each other—simple arithmetic has become as complicated as calculus. Many school districts are making an effort to communicate more with parents, such as offering workshops for them to learn the new math alongside their children. Kazanis says that on the whole, the implementation has been successful so far. “The feedback we have received has been largely positive,” he reports. “That’s not to say we haven’t encountered challenges along the way, but that’s to be expected from a change affecting more than six million students statewide.”

make-a-wish foundation Dreamers for a Day by Morgan Cásarez
O
wen Provencher was just two weeks old when routine newborn screening revealed he had cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that affects one in 3,200 Caucasian babies. Currently, there is no cure for CF, which causes cells that produce bodily fluids to become thick and sticky, severely damaging the lungs and pancreas. Owen, now six, manages his disease with the help of medication, daily treatments, family support and hockey. The lifelong Red Wings fan always dreamed of hitting the ice with his favorite team, and in October 2014 that dream finally came true. With the help of the Make-A-Wish Northeastern California and Northern Nevada (NECANNV), Owen and his parents flew to Detroit for a day of skating with his idol: goalie Jimmy Howard. “Often we feel like we are hit with things 32 stylergbr.com - March 2015
that are out of our control, even when we’re following all the right steps. The trip was an opportunity to get away, a break from reality. It was a great spiritual lift for our family,” Owen’s mother, Heidi, explains. “It is hard to put into words how much [it] meant to us.” For more than 30 years, Make-A-Wish Foundation has brought hope to children facing life-threatening medical conditions nationwide. Headquartered in Arizona, the nonprofit was inspired by Chris Greicius, a seven-year-old from Phoenix who wanted to become a police officer. Just days before his death from leukemia in 1980, Chris’ wish was granted with the help of his community. Decades later, more than a quarterof-a-million children have followed in Chris’ footsteps to become public safety officers, superheroes, musicians, athletes and so much more—if only for one carefree day. “A common misconception of Make-AWish is that all the kids we serve are terminally ill,” shares Joanie Johnston, senior
director of mission delivery at Make-A-Wish Northeastern California and Northern Nevada. “While some of the kids lose their fight, a vast majority of our wish children go on with their lives! I want families to think of Make-A-Wish as one of the building blocks that can help their child move forward in the journey.” Make-A-Wish Northeastern California and Northern Nevada is one of the organization’s oldest chapters. Founded in 1983 by local businessman Frank Ramos, it has served more than 5,000 children throughout 37 counties and is home to the Wishing Place, a state-of-the-art facility where one wish is granted every business day. “Recent national ‘impact studies’ have provided statistics in the 81-99-percent range confirming that the impact of a wish experience has a direct result on the emotional and physical health of a child,” says Jennifer Stolo, CEO of Make-A-Wish NECANNV. “Furthermore, surveys found that wish children complied more with treatment protocols

depth of at least 12 inches in the garden. Frequent, shallow watering is harmful to your plants and wastes water. Morning watering (between 4-10 a.m.) on days without wind is best, since it’s cooler, which reduces evaporation and allows more water to soak into plants. Tricks to conserve: Water just enough to meet, and not exceed, your plant’s needs; put the water where it’s needed at the root zone. Excess water is wasteful and can damage plants. To learn more about conserving water and surviving drought, attend the free UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado County’s Water Efficient Gardening class on May 9. —Stephen Savage UCCE Master Gardener of El Dorado County
Q: What’s an eco-friendly way to keep bugs from eating my plants? A: Integrated pest management (IPM) is a system of dealing with pests that works
with nature to maintain a balance between good and bad bugs in the garden. To practice IPM: 1 / Examine your plants on a regular basis so that you can catch pest problems before they get out of control. 2/Plant flowers in your garden that attract beneficial insects—the bugs that eat the bugs that eat your plants. 3/Maintain good cultivating practices and know what conditions your plants need to thrive; unhealthy plants attract pests. 4/Use less-toxic methods of pest control, instead of broad-spectrum insecticides. —Zen Landis, Marketing Specialist Green Acres Nursery & Supply idiggreenacres.com
Q: I’ve never had a veggie garden before. What are the easiest crops to grow, and how can I ensure success? A. When starting a vegetable garden, there
are many considerations but none are as important as making sure you grow things that you actually want to eat! Next, it’s essential to place the garden in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight, drains well and has easy access to water. Once you choose a site, it may be necessary to fence it in to protect it from wildlife. Before planting, do a soil analysis—so that prior to planting, you can add the appropriate nutrients that are lacking. Vegetable gardening can be done in ground, in “raised beds” and/ or in containers. Depending on which one you choose, you may need to add some compost (in ground), a topsoil blend (raised beds), or a container soil mix. Some easy crops to start are lettuces, zucchini (and other squashes), cherry tomatoes and basil. —Kevin Marini, Master Gardener Programs Manager, Home Horticulture and Composting Educator University of CA Cooperative Extension—Placer/Nevada Counties

1/FLOORS AND FURNITURE Hard surface floors are the way to go for all the reasons you might guess. With hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring, maintenance is much simpler—even when pets are coming and going all day. Keeping your furniture dander, dirt, and fur free can be simple with the right equipment on hand. Invest in a vacuum designed for pet owners, and keep a few color-complementary throws on hand. Tossing them stylishly over your pet’s favorite sofa or chair makes a big difference without compromising your personal style.
2/SPACE OF THEIR OWN To avoid feeling that your pets have taken over the house, you need to make sure they have a space of their own. A few extra pet beds in high-traffic rooms is a good start, but dedicating a corner for sleeping, eating and indoor/outdoor access is also key to remaining master of the house. Mudrooms and laundry rooms are great choices, but the kitchen or home office can work, too. Converting a low cabinet into a pet apartment gives them a home base that looks like 36 stylergbr.com - March 2015

pets, which is why creating a dedicated space is ideal; the alternative is to hide the feeding station and have a little fun with it. Here again, giving up a little lower cabinet space is often worth the trade off, where dog dishes can be set into holes cut through the bottom of the cabinet and the whole affair disappears behind a cabinet door. Our favorite trend is custom drawers with built-in feeding dishes that pull out during chow time and close up immediately after.
by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID 5/WASHING STATION a custom finish just for Fido. Remove the cabinet door completely for easy access, or leave it to make your cleaning routine that much simpler.
3/PET DOORS If you don’t want to feel like the pets have you on a leash, a pet door is key. These days, they can be installed in an exterior door or window, but it’s becoming more common to have them installed directly into an exterior wall. On the inside, some molding around the opening and a flap that matches the surrounding area keeps the space looking like it’s your own. Our favorite trend with pet doors are those hidden in a built-in cabinet, such as a media cabinet, that connects to an exterior wall. Throw in a stylish pet bed and a little custom paint or wallpaper, and you’ve created a special space.
4/FEEDING STATION Feeding is a messy affair for even the best
Especially for people living in more rugged environments, a monthly trip to the groomer just doesn’t cut it. A half-shower tiled in right next to the washer and dryer uses the same plumbing hookups and keeps the mess—and the pets—contained. The key is a low threshold into the shower to keep you from having to catch and carry your pets. If that’s not an option, consider lowering the threshold to one of the existing showers in the house, which has the added benefit of helping the human inhabitants as they age in the home.

s much as we love them, it’s easy to forget our furry friends when we’re remodeling or redesigning.

Although Whole Foods’ hot food section can cause sensory overload, their Pizza-By-TheSlice offering can’t be beat. Not only is the price right, but the thin crust, light cheese and fresh toppings never fail to satisfy my pizza cravings. They always warm it up before serving, ensuring the cheese is nice and bubbly. Sprinkle on some chili flakes and chow down! 2 slices for $6, wholefoodsmarket.com

The Kayisi Tatlisi at Anatolian Table features a crisscross of house-made sticky sweet caramel sauce adorning the plate with six clouds of freshly whipped cream nestling almondstuffed apricots.

Nela’s Mexican Restaurant is the kind of place that when you go a lot they remember your order.

The made-to-order Cheese Loaf at Auburn Alehouse is perfection for the palate. Is it the sourdough bread that makes it absolutely amazing, the fact that it’s stuffed with three different types of cheese, or maybe the garlic butter?

Rubino’s Ristorante is one of the few family Italian eateries that serves Scalone, a combo of egg-battered abalone and scallops that’s sautéed in a white wine, lemon butter and garlic sauce.

The popular Big Mac’s Sandwich at Pacific Street Cafe takes everything you could ever want on a sandwich and piles it onto one mouthwatering masterpiece.

The Pineapple Fried Rice at Pinto Thai Bistro—wok fried with onions, egg, pineapple, carrots, raisins, cashew nuts and aromatic curry powder with your choice of protein—is a local favorite.

I
f someone blindfolded you and brought you to Farmhaus, you would probably take one look at the trendy-meets-modern farmhouse dining room (think crisp minimalist—white and red rather than cliché burlap) and assume you were in midtown Sacramento. Greeted by friendly staff and seated at a table made of slightly offset planks of blonde wood, we settled in with the small but mighty menu. I always think it’s a good thing when a menu has the kind of food you would make if you could actually cook—and this one read like the recipe list I never knew I wanted. While perusing the beer and wine lists we couldn’t help but notice a tap for kombucha, a fermented tea drink purported to have health benefits (the validity of which has been much debated). I can’t speak to its healthfulness, but I can say that the strawberry-hibiscus brew was pretty dang tasty. Up next was the mushroom gnocchi appetizer. The pasta was incredibly soft and slightly nutty, and was just rich enough to feel luxe without spoiling our appetites for the upcoming entrées. My husband opted for the classic beef tenderloin with carrots and potatoes, and we immediately noticed that both veggies still had their skin on (which delighted my husband who’s always saying “that’s where all of the nutrients are!”). Despite the fact that I ordinarily feel a little silly ordering pizza at a nice restaurant, I thought I’d give the chef’s special a try. Toppings included juicy chicken, red onion sliced so thinly it started to brown, and crispy bacon with a balsamic drizzle over the entire pie. I was surprised to find the goat cheese one of my favorite details—the way the dry, sharp flavor helped to cut the fat of the bacon and cheese was a show of the chef’s culinary intelligence. When we heard that the bread pudding was actually “Grandma’s recipe,” we knew we had to stick around. Paired with a latte and an expertly crafted dry cappuccino, the sweet treat (raisins and all) was well worth it.

taste BLACK-EYED PEA AND RED PEPPER SOUP Real Food For Everyone: Vegan-Friendly Meals for Meat-Lovers, Vegetarians, and Vegans by Ann Gentry; photos by Sara Remington (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2011, $19.99)
• • • • • •
1 cup dried black-eyed peas 2 small bay leaves 2 cloves garlic, minced About 6 cups water 1 tsp. fine sea salt, plus more to taste 2 tsp. olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 large red bell pepper, chopped 1 (15-oz.) can whole tomatoes, with juices 3 ounces collard greens, stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch squares (about 1 cup) 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels 2 teaspoons dried thyme 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Combine the black-eyed peas, bay leaves, and garlic in a heavy saucepan. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches (about 3 cups), then bring the water to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes until the peas are par-cooked; they should be soft but still hold their shape. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and cook 5 minutes longer. Heat the oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper, then cover and cook until the pepper begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Break up the tomatoes by squeezing them in your hands over the pot, then add the tomatoes and their juices to the pot. Stir in the collard greens and corn. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the cayenne pepper and cook 54 stylergbr.com - March 2015
dinner date Food and Cider for the Season for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the black-eyed peas and their cooking liquid and 3 cups of water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a simmer. Decrease the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the peas and greens are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Add more water, if needed, to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Stir in the cilantro, and season to taste with more salt and black pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. The soup will keep for 2 days, covered and refrigerated, or for 1 month frozen. To reheat, bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding water to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Serves 6-8 (makes about 8 cups).
SCHILLING & COMPANY GRAPEFRUIT CIDER Based out of Seattle, Schilling first started in 1881 as a premium spice company in San Francisco. Their focus on all natural, locally sourced ingredients and eco-friendly packaging easily translated from spices to ciders, as they’re known as one of the few cider houses in the U.S. that offers high-quality, complex craft ciders at attainable prices. When it comes to brewing, they believe that the yeast selection and fermentation processes play a major role in the final product’s characteristics. Schilling & Company Grapefruit Cider is bold (six-percent ABV), citrusy and refreshing, and plays well against the earthiness of this month’s hearty Black-Eyed Pea and Red Pepper Soup recipe. The acidity from the apples and grapefruit balances out the spiciness of the cayenne and peppers, making it a great match for the robust dish. —Heather Zamarripa, Executive Chef, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Answers by Paul Burke. Describe your business. Blacktop brings the best improv comedy to Rocklin every Friday and Saturday night! Placer County residents don’t have to drive to Sacramento anymore for great entertainment—live comedy is in our backyard. It’s the perfect date night or evening out with friends. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? I shredded papers for a local company. I learned that I don’t want to shred papers for any company and that beige is a really boring color to stare at all day. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? We love our community and making people laugh. We help create, host, donate and perform for local organizations. This past year we had the opportunity to help the Placer Food Bank, Lighthouse Counseling & Family Resource Center, Roseville Community Preschool and more. We love to help anyone who’s looking for a unique fund-raiser. Why is your staff the best in the business? Our staff makes you feel at home. At Blacktop, you’re with friends. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? My parents. They are some of the strongest, focused and most intelligent people I know; their success reminds me that hard work pays off. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Prime Wok Express, Arigato Sushi, Sabores Mexican Cuisine, and Bambu Desserts and Drinks. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We love going to the movies, on walks or to bookstores. I know what you’re thinking, “This guy really lives on the edge.” If you could be any other profession, what would it be? A math teacher. And finally, customer service is…? Listening, understanding and helping.

Describe your business. I created a barre workout called Barre Lately, which is a combo of yoga, Pilates and dance-inspired strength movements. My program is catered to established health clubs and private studios, in order to bring a consistent and effective barre workout to their schedules. I travel to some great places to train and certify amazing instructors. My goal is to make this effective exercise accessible to all by private and small-group sessions, as well as train online with my YouTube channel. I started writing the lifestyle blog Living Lately to encourage others to lead their most vibrant life and look fantastic doing it! What life accomplishments are you most proud of? I feel my biggest accomplishment is being a mom and wife—without my baby and husband I wouldn’t be anything. Another fun accomplishment was being a cheerleader for the NFL for three seasons; I loved representing the San Diego community for the Chargers. Most people don’t know that every girl must earn their spot each year from over 400 hopefuls! I still choreograph for the team, too. Where do you go when the going gets tough? To the bath or my yoga mat. What’s your biggest job perk? I love getting to know people—working with them on their health goals while learning about what makes them tick is fascinating to me. I like that I can stay healthy and encourage others to do the same in a way that fits their lifestyle. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? I love The Kitchen. I’ve lived all over California and there’s no place like it! What’s your opinion of Style Magazine? Having just moved back to the area, I love grabbing the current issue of Style Magazine to discover all that is happening in town. I usually go straight to the Calendar and check out all the fun events. I also love that I can rely on it to find out about new businesses in the area.

“The Donkey Fries at The Boxing Donkey Irish Pub are lightly batter-dipped in…something…that gives them an extra crispness, and are served with “donkey sauce,” a creamy chipotle mixture that takes great fries and elevates them to really great. Plus, they don’t just serve you a few—you get a huge mound that can cause you to lose focus of whatever your main course is. They’re THE BEST.“ theboxingdonkey.com

“The Urban Fries at Jack’s Urban Eats come doused with hot oil, chili flakes and blue cheese dressing, and are so good they should be illegal. They’re the only French fries I ever crave.” jacksurbaneats.com

“As a complete French fry fanatic, I’m a sucker for Potato Corner, which offers every type of tot one could want. Pick your style, flavor and size, and call it a snack! My absolute fav is the Sour Cream and Onion Curly Fries. A little sweet, a tad salty and fresh made, they hit all the right flavor notes!” potatocornerusa.com

“I love the bottomless (yep, that’s right!) Fresh Cut Island Fries at Islands Restaurant. They stay fresh, even when you take them home, and the flavor and texture are so spectacular that dipping sauces aren’t even necessary.” islandsrestaurants.com “I’m slightly obsessed with the Duck Fat Fries at The Monk’s Cellar. Served Belgian-style (with house-made garlic aioli in place of ketchup) and oozing with crispness, these may just be the best tots in town.” monkscellar.com

FACTS & FIGURES 1910
The year a dedicated Roseville citizen named Cora Woodbridge formed the Women’s Improvement Club (WIC) of Roseville. Beginning with lobbying for (and getting) modern water and sewer systems for the city, Woodbridge and the WIC were instrumental in organizing a school, hospital, library, waste management and even an opera for Roseville. Woodbridge ran for California State Assembly in 1922, becoming the first woman elected from the Ninth Assembly District. Woodbridge Park, originally planted and tended by WIC club members, is named in her honor.

The number of years that Roseville resident Cassie Tomer Hill worked as a telegrapher at the Roseville Train Depot, from 1884 to 1902. Hill was an officially appointed Wells Fargo agent and one of very few women in that position at the time. She also owned one of Roseville’s very first automobiles!

The number of years Charlotte “Lottie” Maude Pitcher taught in and around the Roseville area. As well as being a teacher, Lottie was undoubtedly a woman of firsts. She became the first and only woman superintendent of schools for Alpine County in 1876. Later she became Roseville’s first and only postmistress. — Compiled by Sharon Penny FOR MORE FACTS & FIGURES, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM

hirteen years ago, Keaton Raphael Memorial (KRM) partnered with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to host multiple Head Shaving Celebrations in the Sacramento area, and over the years has raised more than $500,000 and shaved over 1,000 heads. With participants collecting money through pledges and local donations, the community has become an advocate for childhood cancer research. This year, St. Baldrick’s Head Shaving Celebrations will be hosted at multiple locations, including one at the Westfield Galleria in Roseville on March 7 from noon to 4 p.m. Brave and heroic shavees can sign up at getbald.com and need only make a minimum donation of $50; friends and family of the shavees are encourage to attend as well. “All funds go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, and through a partnership that KRM has built, a portion of [the money raised] stays local at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. All [proceeds go] directly toward childhood cancer research for advancements in cures and healthy lives for [local] kids and their families,” says KRM Marketing Coordinator, Tamara Coil. For more info, contact Coil at 916-757-6133 or marketing@childcancer.org, or visit getbald.com.
