WHAT ARE MEN DOING??
As discussed in previous newsletters, we are seeing an increase in cosmetic surgery for men. What are they wanting? A more masculine look. Yup. It's 'trending.' Men are requesting procedures that don't change their looks, yet give the "less is more" real playtime. Keeping ethnicity is important (ie, keeping the "big" nose, but opting for chin implant to balance it out). FoxNews.com, 4/18/13
Subtlety is key. I guess Dr. Dabbah's been trendy before it became the norm!
And research from U of Tx shows that good-looking people get hired sooner, land promotions faster and earn an average of 3 to 4% more than those with below average looks.
  
TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY AT FARMER'S MARKET
1. Freshness - Recently harvested.
2. Locally Grown - Less carbon footprint on travel and it's stacked in wooden crates, avoiding environmentally polluting packaging.
3. Nutritional Value - Nutritional value sharply declines as time passes.
4. Better Taste - Items are picked at their peak; not "forced".
5. Cleaner and Safer - Locally grown is usually organic or grown with far less use of chemicals. Breads and baked goods aren't full of unhealthy prservatives that extend shelf life.
6. Custom Sizing - You purchase what you need; not an entire bag.
7. Control What You Get - You can inspect for freshness, rather than taking a container home only to find most of product is moldy or old.
8. Keeps Our Communities Healthy - We are supporting our local communities and they then can maintain the beautiful farmland.
9.  Exercise - Walking or biking to the markent and walking around.
10. Fun and Educational for the Whole Family - Teaching the children about fresh fruits and vegetables, AND learning about what it takes to farm fresh food as well as getting to know your neighbors!!

Sunsensitive TEMPTING FATE
A study by the American Association for Cancer Research in 2010 shows that one in 4 people who have been diagnosed with melanoma DOES NOT USE SUNSCREEN when outside. And, 2% still use tanning beds. The study's author found that over 15% of melanoma sufferers reported rarely or never staying in the shade. 35% of the general public reported never using sun protection. Melanoma is the 5th leading killer of men and the 7th of women.

Wave Hello With Your Hands, Not Your Arms
The cosmetic procedure of the moment for women, is the brachioplasty, or armlift. SunSentinel.com, 5/9/13 Typically, it's the women who have had dramatic weight loss that opt for the surgery, although we see women who have lost some weight, leaving the sagging skin. Exercise and muscle tone cannot make up for the loss of fat. The scar extends from the armpit to the elbow, in most instances. And if the patient has excess fat and skin on the lateral chest wall, Dr. Dabbah can excise that at the same time. Although the scar is extensive, if done well, it hides well. But we have never had an armlift patient unhappy with the scar; the thrill of wearing short sleeves, or even fitted long-sleeves, far surpasses the initial surprise of the almost unseeable scar. 
                Black Rice Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette
Black rice is my new favorite "go to" rice. On its own, it has a slight fruity taste. I have a few great recipes, but just saw this one. I figured we could try it together.
 
1 cup black rice (Lotus Foods) (I found it at Fresh Market)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice or 3 TBL regular lemon juice
2 TBL white wine vinegar
1 TBL agave syrup (nector) or honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
4 oz green beans thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper
 
-Preheat oven to 350. Cook rice in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 35-40 minutes. Drain well, spread out on a plate or rimmed baking sheet to cool.
-Meanwhile, spread out walnuts on another baking sheet. Toast in oven, tossing once, until fragrant, 8-10 minutes. lt cool and chop.
-Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, and agave in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually drizzle in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt.
-Toss rice, walnuts, scallions, edamame, tomatoes, green beans and vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
