IDIOMS (continued):where the smell of bread wafted from the kitchens of country estates. The upper crust was the superior un-burnt part of a loaf that was served to the “gentry” or high society.• In Biblical times, the “upper crust,” or up-per class, was offered the “fat of the land.” This meant the fattest and best livestock. • Another familiar expression with originsin the Bible is “salt of the earth.” Salt wasnot only expensive, it was also a vital pre-servative. People referred to as the “saltof the earth” were and are very precious. •Againthinkingofthepreciouscommodityofsalt, a compliment that someone is “worth his salt” means he is doing a good job and is a valu-able worker. Salt was so valuable in ancient days thatRoman soldierswere sometimes paidwithsalt instead of or in addition to coins or currency. •Instarkcontrasttoagoodworkerstandsonewho isn’t. A sorry or less-than-stellar worker may get “canned” or “sacked.” This terminol-ogy came from coal miners who were giv-en a chit, a “statement of an amount owed for food and drink,” which they could use at the company store. When let go, their severance pay was a can of food usually put in a sack. •Justasabadworkercanaffecttheattitudesofhis co-workers, a “bad apple” can ruin a whole bag or box of apples.

Add Flavor With Lemons

If you’re trying to reduce the amount of salt you use to season your savory dishes, try lemon juice. Nothing adds zest or intensity to a dish like a squeeze of lemon. Lemons also act as a flavor catalyst, preparing the taste buds for the next flavor.

Lemons provide a burst of brightness, flavor and freshness to your recipes. Bright, yellow, tart and tangy, lemons are one of nature’s most versatile, healthy and delicious fruits. Since lemons are avail-able throughout the year, they make an attractive, affordable and accessible recipe ingredient.

Adding lemon juice to marinades for grilled recipes is a great way to brighten up the flavors. You also can grill lemon halves and squeeze the smoky juices over your dish for an added flavor boost.Try using a fresh, fragrant lemon for this Lemon Ginger Chicken with Carrot Cashew Slaw recipe. It’s guaranteed to brighten up your day!

________ Q: What was Emily VanCamp in be-fore she was on “Revenge”? I recognized her as soon as I saw her, but I cannot re-member from what! -- Iris V., Suffolk, Va.

A: The gorgeous Canadian actress has been in the business since she was 13, making her debut on Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” But before “Re-venge,” she was best known for her role on “Everwood,” where she played Amy Abbott. She also had a co-starring role from 2007-2010, playing Rebecca Harper, who initially was thought to be William Walker’s (Tom Skerritt) daughter with longtime mistress Holly Harper (Patricia Wettig). Take note that the second season of “Revenge” begins Sept. 30 on ABC on its new night and time, Sundays at 9/8c.

Q: I was wondering if the “John Cart-er” movie you mentioned this spring is based on the science-fiction books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I hope so, be-cause I’ve read them all and believe they could be made into a great series of sci-fi movies. -- Paul R., Marion, Indiana

A: The March release of Disney’s “John Carter” is indeed based on Burroughs’ Bar-soom book series, which were published in various magazines as a serial from 1912 to 1943. Because of their popularity, they were then published as their own book series from 1917 to 1964. The film, how-ever, didn’t prove to be quite so popular. It was received with mixed reviews and a dismal box-office take. The film was origi-nally planned to be a trilogy, but that plan is on hold because of the film’s poor recep-tion by moviegoers. “John Carter” is avail-able on DVD and Bluray, so you can see for yourself whether it deserves a sequel.

Q: When will Syfy’s “Merlin” be back for its fifth season? Please tell me it has not been canceled -- Gregory D., via e-mail

A: The British sci-fi/fantasy series will indeed be back for a fifth season, which will consist of 13 all-new episodes.

IDIOMS (continued):

youmayfindyourself“eatinghumblepie.”Thissaying came about in a circuitous way. In the 14th century, the heart, liver, entrails, etc. of animals were called the “numbles” (noumbles, nomblys, noubles). In the 15th century, they were called “umbles.” The umbles were used as an ingredient in pies. Only lower class folks ate “humble pie.” Hence, abasing or lowering one-self was seen as taking oneself to a lower class.•BakersinEuropewerenotusuallybaking“hum-blepie”butpastries,cookies,rollsandotherfinetreats.Because theycould receive stiffpunish-ment for shorting customers, bakers would usu-ally put 13 or more pieces in their orders just to be sure. This is where the “baker’s dozen” originated. • Britishsailorsonwarshipsinthe1700smight have appreciated some “humble pie” or a generous “baker’s dozen.” Their ships did not have the best living conditions. Usually, a sailor’s breakfast and lunch was only bread and a beverage. The third meal of the day in-cluded meat and was presented on a square tray. Hence the term “square meal” was coined to identify the most substantial meal of the day. • Apopular topping forpizza, “Canadianbacon” has hog geography behind its name. It doesn’t have anything to do with the country ofCanadaotherthanitslocationrelativetotheUnited States. Traditional bacon is cut from the underbellyorsouthsideofthepig.Canadianba-con is cut from the loin area, the upper part of thepig.Sinceitisfromthenorth—Oh,Canada!•InEngland,itiscustomarytoextendhospitali-ty to visitors, even complete strangers. However, when the host chose to serve a “cold shoulder” of beef, it signaled that it was time for the guests to move on. Think about this the next time you snub someone or give them the “cold shoulder.” • When wood stoves were used to cook beefshoulders and more, cooks used the front burn-ers for intense heat and for stoking the fire toavoid a reach across the hot stove top. When it was time to slow down or simmer the food, itwasputonthe“backburner.”Nowthattermis used for putting something on hold, such as a chore you need, but don’t want, to do.• Now for “a toast” to our Tidbits read-ers! Toasting is a medieval tradition that hon-ored a host with a gesture for long life. The gesture entailed placing a crust of bread into a goblet of wine and raising it to the host, an adaptation of Holy Communion.

It is totally land-locked, and the deeper areas are the saltiest. There is an estimated 1.9 billion tons of potas-siumchloridesaltintheDeadSeathatarehar-vested by using a system of evaporation ponds. • The Dead Sea has a salinity read-ing of 33.7 percent, meaning nearly 35percent of the water is dissolved salts. Ocean water is 3.5 percent dissolved salts.• Due to the high salinity of the Dead Sea,no fish or any kind of swimming, squirmingcreature lives in or near the water. Fish acci-dentally swimming into the waters from one of the several freshwater streams that feed the Sea are killed instantly, their bodies quickly coat-ed with a preserving layer of salt crystals and then tossed onto shore by the wind and waves. • There are, however, several species of bac-teria and one species of algae that are adapted toharsh life in theDeadSea.White salt crys-tals cover everything on the shore. And this is no ordinary table salt; the salts found in the Dead Sea are mineral salts — mostly chlo-ride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium

PETBITS SPONSORED BY:

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A number of cats in our area disappeared this spring and summer, and I noticed the rabbits that used to plague our garden don’t come as frequently. A neighbor told me he saw a coyote crossing the street just before dawn recently, and I suspect it is the cause of many of these disappearances. Please warn your readers they need to protect their pets as wild animals are encroaching on well-populated neighborhoods. -- Pat C., Weston, Mass.

DEAR PAT: That’s a very good point! As wild creatures lose more and more of their natural habitats, they are being seen much more frequently in the suburbs and even in urban areas. This goes beyond nuisance animals like raccoons and skunks: Black bears frequently wander into back yards in central Florida, and residents in urban Allston, Mass., are sometimes confronted by wild turkeys foraging along city streets. And coyotes and cougars have been reported in suburban neighborhoods in many parts of the United States.

Wild animals present a lot of risk to pets (as well as humans). Besides the threat of contracting rabies or other diseases, some predators find smaller pets to be easy, tasty prey. Keep cats and small dogs indoors at night. If wild animals have been reported in your area, don’t let your pet out unaccompanied or off a leash, even during the day when no danger is apparent. Keep your pet’s vaccinations up to date.If you have pets, like rabbits, that are kept outside, reinforce and strengthen protective fencing around their cages.

• On Sept. 24, 1789, The Judiciary Act of 1789 is passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, establishing the Supreme Court of the United States as a tribunal made up of six justices. By 1869 the number of justices was increased to nine.

• On Sept. 30, 1868, the first volume of Louisa May Al-cott’s beloved children’s book “Little Women” is pub-lished. Alcott dedicated most of her life and writing to supporting her family after her father’s failure at running Transcendentalist school. Her works include “Little Men” (1871) and “An Old-Fashioned Girl” (1870).

• On Sept. 28, 1901, Ed Sullivan, who would become the host of the long-running TV variety program “The Ed Sullivan Show,” is born in New York City. During the peak of its popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, Sulli-van’s program showcased a wide range of entertain-ers, including The Beatles and Elvis Presley.

• On Sept. 29, 1913, Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the engine that bears his name, disappears from the steamship Dresden while traveling from Belgium to England. On Oct. 10, Diesel’s body was found in the water. Conspiracy theories began to fly almost imme-diately. Many people believed (and still believe) that Diesel was murdered.

• On Sept. 25, 1957, under escort from 1,000 para-troopers in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Three weeks earlier, Arkan-sas Gov. Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent court-ordered racial integration.

• On Sept. 26, 1960, for the first time in U.S. history, a debate between major party presidential candidates is shown on television. John F. Kennedy debated Richard M. Nixon in a Chicago studio. Nixon refused to wear makeup.

• On Sept. 27, 1989, Zsa Zsa Gabor, on trial for slap-ping a police officer, storms out of the courtroom in the middle of the district attorney’s closing argu-ment. She had been pulled over for expired tags on her Rolls Royce, as well as having an open container of alcohol and an expired license.

DEARDR.DONOHUE:Mywife’s doctor thinksshe has intermittent claudication due to peripheral vascular disease. She also has diabetes. Would you describeitanditstreatment?--S.B.

ANSWER: Peripheral vascular disease also goesby the name peripheral artery disease, PAD.“Peripheral”referstotheouterboundary,andwhenspeaking of the body, the legs are its periphery. Leg arteries are narrowed and often blocked by the buildup of cholesterol, fat and many other components found in the circulation. The buildup is called plaque. The buildup can be so great that no blood runs through the main leg arteries.Intermittent claudication is leg pain that develops whensomeonewithPADwalksanydistance.Theperson can tell, almost to the number of steps taken, when pain will arise. Taking a rest relieves the pain.About15percentofthose70andolderhavePAD.Its main sign is intermittent claudication.Your wife can do many things on her own that will help her. If her cholesterol is high, she has to get it down. She has to maintain normal blood pressure. She must exercise within the limits prescribed by her doctor. Walking is one of the best exercises. If she starts out modestly and gradually increases the distanceandpace,sheshouldaimfor30minutesofwalking daily. When pain arises, she should stop, take a break and then resume once pain has gone. OnesimpletestfordeterminingPADiscomparingblood pressure taken at the ankle with blood pressure taken in the arm. They should be nearly equal. If the anklepressureislower,that’sevidenceofPAD.Your wife’s doctor will discuss the use of medicines likePlavix,Pletalandaspirin.Withsevereblockageof an artery, opening it up with a balloon-tipped catheter and inserting a shunt is one treatment. It’s the same procedure used for clogged heart arteries. Removing the obstructed artery segment andreplacing it with a graft is another way to treat this illness.The booklet on PAD discusses the details of thiscommonmaladyindepth.Readerscanobtainacopybywriting:Dr.Donohue--No.109,Box536475,Orlando,FL32853-6475.Encloseacheckormoneyorder (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with therecipient’sprintednameandaddress.Pleaseallowfour weeks for delivery.

One of the best things you can leave future generations of your family is accurate genealogy information.Creating a family tree isn’t as difficult as it may sound. Start with yourself, your siblings and your parents. Accurate date and place of birth infor-mation is crucial to any future hunts. Go back as many generations as you can, at least giving names if you can’t also supply dates and place of birth.Write down stories about your family members (this will also jog your own memory of facts about the past.) If there are “rumors,” make notes of those as well. Even if you can’t verify whether your mother’s grandfather was a train engineer, someone else might be able to at a later date.

Your Family Tree

If you have a computer and are comfortable roaming the Internet, Ancestry.com is one of the best places to start. On Ancestry, you can not only research your family, but you can create a family tree to save. The amount of information available is amazing: old military records, city directories, birth and death certificates, photos uploaded by others, Census through 1940 and so much more. There is a fee to subscribe to Ancestry, but if you join for six months and do a little every week, you should finish in that time.On Family Search (familysearch.org) you will likely find information that you can’t find anywhere else (for example, some of it goes back as far as Europe), but you have to be careful. Use Family Search as a hunting ground and verify informa-tion elsewhere.If you’ve never done genealogy, consider taking a class to get started. This might be a good winter project, with the end result benefiting your family for generations to come.

• It was British playwright and noted wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observa-tion: “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”

• If you’re like the typical human, your brain makes up only 2 percent of your body’s weight, but it uses about 20 percent of your body’s en-ergy.

• Some people, it seems, have more money than

sense. For example, in December of 2008, some unknown person paid $5,300 to buy a single tissue off eBay. What was so special about the tissue? Reportedly, it was used once by actress Scarlett Johansson. Fortunately, proceeds from the sale benefited a nonprofit organization.

• The average ant lives less than two months.

• Using leeches as a form of medical treatment is archaic, right? Maybe not so much. As recent-ly as 2004, a request to market leeches as medi-cal devices was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

• When the infamous Titanic was being built, shifts were 14 hours a day, and workers only had one day off a week. Each day, each worker was allowed a total of seven minutes for bath-

room breaks.

• Those who study such things say that mar-riages involving so-called mail-order brides have a lower rate of divorce than marriages that come abomut in more traditional ways.

Thought for the Day: “Among men, it seems, historically at any rate, that processes of co-or-dination and disintegration follow each other with great regularity, and the index of the co-ordination is the measure of the disintegration which follows. There is no mob like a group of well-drilled soldiers when they have thrown off their discipline. And there is no lostness like that which comes to a man when a per-fect and certain pattern has dissolved about him. There is no hater like one who has greatly loved.” -- John Steinbeck
