Ripe and Ready
California is home to 99 percent of the
nation’s pistachio orchards. At this time
each year, farmers are busy harvesting the
little green nuts, which have ripened to
reveal their familiar split shell.
To Your Health: Teatime
When you make tea, steep the tea bag
for at least five minutes to get the most
health benefits. Tea consumption can lower
the risk of heart attack, certain cancers and
type 2 diabetes. A British study found that
tea steeped for five minutes had more
antioxidants than tea steeped for just one
or two minutes.

Fitness Tip: Build Muscle
Be sure to add muscle-building activities
to your weekly workouts. Try free weights,
resistance bands, or using your body
weight with pushups and squats.
September Is National Rice Month

Although a tiny grain, rice is a staple
food source for more than half of the
world’s population. While brown rice is a
whole grain and higher in fiber, both brown
and white varieties are low in calories and
contain a number of vitamins and minerals,
including folate, magnesium and iron.
If you have art or craft supplies you
won’t use, call an area school and ask if
they would like the items. The teachers will
probably be thrilled to receive some
donated supplies.
Deal of the Month
Labor Day weekend in September kicks
off a month of sales and specials as stores
try to clear their shelves so they can stock
items for the upcoming holidays. The
deepest discounts will be found on DVD
players, canning supplies, golf gear and
bicycles. This is also a good time to book a
winter vacation and save up to 20 percent.
Quick Cookies
Cookie dough can be refrigerated for up
to three days. When you are ready to bake,
spoon it onto cookie sheets and pop it in
the oven for a warm and tasty treat.
Flattering for All
When it comes to looking good, take a
color cue from vibrant gemstones like
rubies, emeralds, amethyst and smoky
quartz. Style experts say jewel-toned
clothing and accessories flatter all
complexions.
