By Susan Dunlap McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) Hot weather, especially this hot weather, is hardly inspirational. But, it has inspired us to think cool, especially when we are contemplating summer evening dinner parties. What better dish to bring the temperature down than a colorful basket brimming with the summer's bounty of fruits? Easy to prepare in a minimal amount of time, this fresh-fruit medley in a watermelon basket is a visually sweet feast. WATERMELON BASKET Seedless watermelon Pencil Paring knife Carving knife Cantaloupe Grapes Blueberries Strawberries Pineapple Kiwi Garnish: Lemons Limes Watermelon Wooden toothpicks 1. Begin by selecting a watermelon. We looked for ripe melons with a side flat enough to prevent rolling. However, it may be best to cut away part of the side of the watermelon to make the base even more stable. 2. Mark around the circumference of the melon with a pencil. To make things easier, we stretched a rubber band around the watermelon, then marked our cutting line with a pencil. (For the photos,...

McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) —"The Patterson Puppies and the Midnight Monster Party" by Leslie Patricelli; Candlewick, $15, 32 pages, ages 3-6 Petra, a timid, black-and-white puppy, shares a bedroom with three siblings. She wakes up often in the middle of the night and hears noises, like a monster scratching on the roof. Despite Papa's reassurances, she's scared. Each of her siblings offers a magic trick to make the monster flee. Nothing works, not even fresh-baked cookies, made with Mama's help. One night Petra's brother Andy decides to look for the monster — or maybe check out the cookie plate. All four puppies tiptoe downstairs. They are in for a scary surprise, and so is the monster. She's lime-green with three eyes, two purple horns and a feline tail. She and the puppies try to hide from each other, but when Petra sees the monster trembling, too, and she offers her a cookie. It opens the door to a raucous party — until Mama and Papa appear. Paticelli paces the tension and humor in "Puppies"...

By Monica Eng Chicago Tribune (MCT) CHICAGO — Health officials and parents everywhere continue to puzzle over how to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. But I discovered the answer a few weeks ago. And it turns out Pennsylvania State University nutrition scientist Barbara J. Rolls made a similar discovery that she revealed in the May issue of the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition. Rolls and colleagues worked with preschoolers and found that if you feed them generous amounts of vegetables — in this case raw carrots — as their first course, they will eat more of them. Rolls and company are funded by a National Institutes of Health grant aimed increasing vegetable consumption in children. I worked without a grant and experimented on my 6- and 11-year olds. Through them, I found that if you bring kids home hungry from hours of swimming (stubbornly passing up every restaurant on the way home), then feed them consecutive fruit and vegetable courses, they will devour them happily, and skip the...
