European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 20, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Dishes that go better with Beer by Russ Parsons los Angeles times of can drink Beer with anything even breakfast but that s. More a lifestyle than a culinary Choice. There Are however dishes that demand Beer. Books have been written about Beer food Strong Flavoured and Hearty stuff that occasionally parades under the dated name men s  usually this is food without much subtlety food that wins with sheer Force of personality rather than creativity. But Stephen Pyles knows better. Former chef at Dallas Routh Street game Pyles has written the new Texas cuisine a Book about food that has both heft and Glamour. Consider the likes of Honey Fried Chicken with thyme mint Cream sauce which is at once Hearty and intriguing. Or enchiladas stuffed with shrimp and papaya and sauced with an Avocado to Hatillo Salsa. Pyles grew up in the big Sandy of big Spring where his family ran one of the Best truck Stop cafes in West Texas. After graduating from College he toured France and fell under the spell of haute cuisine. Two stays in France and a stint at the Robert Mondavi winery in California gave him the Opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in French cuisine. In 1984, he opened Routh Street which was instantly acclaimed As one of the two or three Best restaurants in Texas. Before Long it was being mentioned As one of the nation s Best though it closed earlier this year. Routh Street also had a More casual spinoff called baby Routh that opened in 1986, and in 1987, Pyles and his partner John Dayton opened their third and fourth restaurants Coo Fellows and Tejas in Minneapolis. Pyles is a gifted natural Cook perhaps too natural for cookbooks. The Fine details of time and measurement sometimes seem to have escaped him and Cooks testing his recipes ran into problems with timing. When following the Book be sure to Cook until done not when the recipe tells you. Persevere though the flavors Are Worth it. And if it gets too much just. Have a Beer.

On the family a what happens when a child is so different from the group that he cannot fit in no matter How hard he tries am reminded of a sad Little girl named Ufa an eighth grader who was referred to me for psychological counselling. She opened the door to my office and stood with eyes cast Down. Underneath several layers of powder and makeup her face was completely aglow with infected acne. By had done her Best to Bury the inflammation but she had not been successful. She weighed about 65 pounds and was a physical wreck from head to toe. She sat Down without raising her eyes to mine lacking the Confidence to face me. I did t need to ask what was troubling her. Life had dealt her a devastating blow and she was bitter angry broken and deeply Hurt. The teen Ager who reaches this Point of despair can see no tomorrow. He thinks he is repulsive arid disgusting. He would like to crawl in a Hole but there is no place to hide. Running away won t help nor will crying. Top often he chooses suicide As the Only Way out. Lily gave me Little time to work. The following morning she staggered into the school office and announced that she had internalized everything in the family Medicine Cabinet. We Laboured feverishly to retrieve the medication and finally succeeded on the Way to the Hospital. Lily survived physically but her self esteem and Confidence had died years earlier. The scars on her sad face symbolized the wounds in her heart. The inability to gain social acceptance is not merely an uncomfortable feeling among the Young such Lack of self esteem can actually extinguish the desire to go on living. Parents and teachers must be taught to recognize the Early symptoms of personal despair during the tender years of childhood and what they can do about it. How can i Tell whether my child is just normally Active or genuinely hyperactive How can i decipher whether his problem is the result of emotional or a physical impairment these questions Are difficult to answer and few parents have the training to resolve them. Your Best resource in evaluating your child s problem is your paediatrician or family physician who can make a Complete medical evaluation and then refer you if necessary to other professionals for specific assistance. Your child May require the services of a remedial Reading teacher or a speech and hearing therapist or a psychologist who can assess intellectual and perceptual abilities and offer management advice. You should not try alone to Cope with an excessively Active child if this additional support and consultation is available. A. 4amm c. Dec son it Profe cent of focus on to fam in.
