The institute offers several suggestions to help the dieter get through the holidays: Create activities for the dieter that don't center around food. For instance, the dieter can set the table, arrange the flowers, walk the dog, entertain the children and guests. Change recipes by substituting low calorie ingredients for high calorie ingredients. For instance, yogurt for sour cream or natiural fruit juices for sweetener. alw\/a\/Q inllw ui ww M jf w juii y The USC food and sanitation microbiology instructor gives some important hints to keep your holiday fare tasty and safe: Promptly refrigerate foods after use, especially meats, custards and stuffing. Avoid leaving these foods on the dinner table for several hours at a time. Fresh poultry, which will be used within a day or two, can be kept safely in the refrigerator. Preparing it correctly can minimize Salmonella bacterial growth. Remove any wrapping, wash the bird, separate the giblets and wrap loosely before returning it to the refrigerator. If you must keep foods warm, hold them at a temperature above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Good timing is the key here to avoid drying out the food before the guests arrive. ough a window, and arrested p on vacation in Beverly Hills. /PL '1 - V:^y y.HIIXSS Will itoOlKiJllJi If; AoGllLIAIlUf.
