Need to Know

Self-reliance is a vital key to living a healthy, productive life. To be self-reliant we must master a basic set of skills, more or less making each of us a jack of all trades. Contrary to what you may have learned in school, a jack of all trades is far more equipped to deal with life than a specialized master of only one. Click here to see the list of 50 things everyone should know how to do.

N2N Family News

This is a week of change for the Glazer girls. On Tuesday Rachel leaves for her five week fellowship with the Bronfman Foundation in Israel. We can never find words to adequately thank all of those who helped send her on her way- the Board and congregation of Shalom b'Harim, the Gainesville Evening Optimist Club, the Hall County Optimist Club and those you who gave so generously to Rachel's bake sale fundraiser. You all made her dream a reality. I'm not exaggerating when I say we love each and every one of you.

Meanwhile, Arthur is in Jackson, Miss. helping Molly make her move to Winston- Salem, NC where she'll be working as the Director of Education at Temple Emanuel. We're so proud of you, little girl!

French onion dip and ranch dressing dip are BBQ mainstays, but they can turn carrot sticks into a fattening snack in zero seconds flat. Trade out processed, fattening store-bought dips for this healthy, easy-to-make dip, without sacrificing the creamy texture or flavorful taste.

Rosemary White Bean Dip

Ingredients:

1 can white beans
½ cup olive oil
juice from 1 lemon
five-six sprigs rosemary
salt

Equipment:

Food processor

Directions:

Drain liquid from white beans. Combine beans, olive oil and lemon juice in foodprocessor. Pluck leaves from sprigs of rosemary and add to mixture. Add a dash or two of salt.

Process until mixture is smooth (like hummus) and rosemary is completely chopped/blended in.

Best if refrigerated and served cold. Serve with chips, crackers, carrots or celery.

The Forgotten Treasures of a Generation X Childhood

"Generation X"- children of the 1970s and 1980s. Those are goofy decades to embrace, with their avocado refrigerators and wood-paneled rec rooms, their leg warmers and shoulder pads. Remember orange and red shag carpet? Malibu Barbie? Lincoln Logs? Pudding Pops? Click here to see a slide show that'll bring back memories...and a few eye rolls.

Home Made Sweetened Condensed Milk

This is a great recipe to keep on hand when you're in the mood for Key Lime Pie and don't have any Eagle Brand Milk in the pantry. I made this recipe and then used it to make coconut macaroons and it worked just as well as the canned condensed milk.

3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
4 tbsp. butter

Cook until it starts to bubble. Put in blender and add 1 cup powdered milk. Blend until smooth. Equals 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.

Nothing says summer like outdoor movies. It looks as thought the ones at the Arts Depot here in Gainesville have been discontinued but there are other venues nearby.

Try Summer Movies Under The Stars in Dahlonega. On June 10 at dusk they'll be showing "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules." It's at Hancock Park and admission is free.

There's also the Summer Movie Series in Cornelia. It starts at dusk. "The Goonies" will be playing on June 17 and "The Last Airbender" on July 15. It's at City Park in Cornelia and it's free.

Flash Mobs

I love flash mobs...first the frozen people in Grand Central Station, then the T-Mobile ads in London and the Hanukkah flash mob in Jerusalem. Here's one from St. Patrick's Day in Sidney, Australia's Central Station.

So is Gainesville ready for a flash mob? Maybe clogging in Roosevelt Square?

This week, through Wednesday, Publix has frozen pierogies, those yummy little potato and cheese dumplings, on sale- buy one, get one free. Here's a great adaptation of a family favorite, using a surprising new ingredient.

EGGPLANT PARMESAN CASSEROLE

Servings: 6
Cooking time: 30 minutes

1 medium eggplant
2 large eggs
1/2 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (24-ounce) jar tomato-basil marinara sauce
1 (16-ounce) box Mrs. T’s potato and cheddar pierogies
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Beat eggs in bowl. Place bread crumbs in bowl. Dip eggplant slices in eggs to coat; dip into bread crumbs to coat well on both sides.

Cook eggplant slices in 1 tablespoon olive oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices and olive oil.

Grease 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Spoon 1/3 of marinara sauce on bottom of dish. Arrange half of frozen pierogies on sauce. Top with half of eggplant slices, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and half of remaining sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly.
