pple, which moved the personal compu- ter from a desk to the pocket through the iPhone, now wants to put a gadget Aon people’s wrists. The company yesterday unveiled Apple Watch, a line of watches with a rectangular face and rounded edges, with wristbands that can be swapped out. It is Apple’s first new product category since the Cupertino, California-based company introduced the iPad in 2010. Apple debuted Apple Watch at an event near its headquarters in Cupertino, along with Apple Pay, which is designed to make iPhones into a digital wallet. The company also showed the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which come in screen sizes of 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches The announcements are Apple’s most wide- ranging set of product introductions under Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, who suc- ceeded co-founder Steve Jobs in 2011. For the past three years, the company had made mostly incremental changes to existing products, rais- ing questions of whether it could build another hit product. With this lineup, the company is responding by leaping in to new areas of the fiercely competitive consumer-technology industry. “We have some amazing products to show you,” Cook said as he began the presentation. “We think at the end of the day that you will agree that this too is a very key day for Apple.” PLUS | WEDNESDAY 10 SEPTEMBER 2014 3

including American Express Co, MasterCard Inc and Visa Inc for the service, which will be offered in the US starting next month. In introducing a mobile-payments service, Apple squarely took aim at existing payments services. “Our vision is to replace this and we’re going to start by focusing on payments,” Cook said as a picture of an old wallet was flashed on screen. The company also posted an image of a leather billfold on its website with a message saying, “Wallet, your days are numbered.” Apple Pay will work with services including mobile car- booking application Uber Technologies Inc., restaurant reservation system OpenTable and daily deals company Groupon Inc., the company said. The new iPhones, meanwhile, will have rounded edges and a thinner frame than earlier models, as well as higher-resolution displays. The iPhone 6 costs $199 to $399 with a two-year contract, while the 6 Plus is priced at $299 to $499. The devices — which will come in silver, gold and space gray — will be available for pre-order on September 12 and ship September 19, the company said. The new iPhones come with a custom A8 64-bit processor, which Apple said is 25 percent faster than the chips in previous models. The phones have a new motion processor for fitness and health- related applications.

know what so many of you think about okra, because I hear it all the time. Slimy. Unappealing. Griddle cakes celebrate I won’t argue the first point, because that’s Ia verifiable fact. But I will take issue with the second, partly because I don’t consider okra’s texture a deal-breaker. If you do, some cooking methods — summer ingredients particularly my go-to technique for so many veg- etables, high-heat roasting — can reduce the slime factor. (My favourite ways to eliminate it entirely are frying and pickling, but I save those for when I have much more time than on a typical weeknight.) You can also combine okra with other things, so the slime is either absorbed or less noticeable, or you can cook it a little less, so it stays crunchy and fresh — especially if you choose smaller pods, which are less fibrous and packed with fewer seeds. I thought of both of those techniques when I remembered a recipe for okra cornmeal cakes in my friend Virginia Willis’s 2011 book, Basic to Brilliant, Y’all. A Southerner through and through, Willis makes no apologies for okra, thankfully, and I knew her treatment would bring out its fresh, grassy flavours. What do you do? Make a quick cornmeal batter into which you fold sliced okra and fresh corn kernels, spike it with a little jalapeño and garlic, then pan-fry it into little or bigger griddle cakes, depending on the occasion (cocktail party or casual lunch or supper). In keeping with her book’s schtick, Willis suggests a “brilliant” upgrade: to neatly layer the cakes with goat cheese or ricotta and thickly sliced tomato and stack them, Napoleon style. I was inspired by the jala- peño and thought about a Mexican direction instead, keeping the tomato slices but sprinkling them with feta (my usual stand-in for cotija or queso fresco), pumpkin seeds and cilantro. As all the best recipes do, it inspired me to imagine a year’s worth of rotating seasonal treatments using the same concept: Black beans and cubes of roast pumpkin could go into the cakes this fall, asparagus and fava beans in the spring. But in late summer, the stars are corn and okra, the latter without a smidgen of slime. Okra and Corn Cakes With Tomatoes, Feta and Pepitas

5 to 8 servings (makes about 15 cakes) This is a celebration of some of the South’s favorite summer ingredients, bound in griddle-cake form. With the toppings, these become main-course- worthy, but you can also serve them bare as a side dish or in miniature form as nibbles. Make Ahead: The cakes can be refrigerated for up to 5 days; rewarm them in a low-heat oven or re-crisp them in a hot skillet before serving.

A Starbucks spokeswoman declined to say how many stores were offering coconut milk. She added that the coffee chain is not testing almond milk, a popular nondairy option, at this time due to the “critically important safety of our customers with nut allergies.” Starbucks, which has nearly 11,800 cafes in the United States, regularly tests new prod- ucts. For example, it recently ran a trial of gluten-free items. In Los Angeles, Starbucks rival Peet’s Coffee offers lattes and other drinks made with almond milk. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf since March has offered customers in all of its 179 US company owned stores the option of choosing almond-coconut milk. Major coffee chains for years have offered soy milk as a milk alternative. Starbucks began offering soy milk in 1997.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
