Eating right can be as tasty as you want to make it, so give yourself a nutritional edge. Cut down on saturated fats and salt, total calories that may negatively affect your health. Eat more vegetables and add vitamins and fiber to your diet. Fiber, found in the cell wall of plants, absorbs water and eases the passage of food through the digestive tract. Vegetables contain varying amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose and lingin, so they differ in fiber content. For example, carrots and cabbage add more bulk to a diet than do peas and potatoes. Serve vegetables with a touch of crunch. Steam or stir-fry for tendercrisp texture that preserves natural nutrition. Try new com binations like carrots and celery or perk of plain cabbage with tomatoes and green pepper. Make a salad with green beans; sprinkle nutmeg on broccoli. Garnish a soup with the curl of a carrot. Deep green vegetables provide vitamin A; dark yellow ones do, too. So add variety to meals. You might consider collard greens, winter squash or sweet potatoes as substitutes for carrots. Fruits and vegetables make healthy partners. Use them together in salads and side dishes. Try red cabbage and apples for a sweet-sour sensation full of vitamin C. Vegetables are naturally low in calories. Your family will benefit by eating them with herbs and spices instead of butter, salt or sauce.

Excavated some time ago, the “Eye Temple,” one of the buildings from this period, yielded thousands of small plaques fashioned in human form with exaggerated eyes. Most of the plaques are incised, but in a few cases-called “spectacle idols”- the eye sockets are pierced. Oates recently found one of these in the ruins of a house near the temple. CONTROLLED TRADE ROUTE In another level of the tell, Oates found a decorated copper ax and harness ring dating from about 2250 8.C., a time when the city served as a provincial capital of the first Mesopotamian Empire and was ruled by kings in Akkad. A metal-working center at the time, Brak also controlled a major copper trade route from eastern Anatolia to southern Mesopotamia. Besides the artifacts, Oates discovered private houses and two major public buildings dating from the Akkad period. Soon he hopes to find written archives that will shed new light on the period. The turmoil that surrounded Brak for centuries didn’t bring about its downfall, however. Weather and climate ac complished what conquering ar mies never could--the total abandonment of the site. A prolonged drought forced people from the fields. The city eventually was abandoned. By about 1300 8.C., bedouin herders claimed the precincts where royal decrees had once been issued. Ladies Have You Heard? By Doris Thomas Lancaster Extension Home Economist are just a few of the zesty tastes you can keep bottled in your cupboard. Combined with seasonings and cooked to taste, vegetables can become family favorites rather than an ambiguous mound on the side of a plate. Dare to be different. Stir-fry carrots, cabbage and onion. It’s an easy vegetable combination you can serve tonight. TIPS ON GIFT GIVING The Christmas shopping season is approaching rapidly.
