New Year financial fitness: ‘How do you really feel?’ How to fix poor credit history Updated survey allows customers to use their own words when describing commissary shopping experience

By Keith Desbois, DECA PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

FORT LEE, Va. — Commissary shoppers worldwide can now describe their own shopping experience when they fill out the Defense Commissary Agency’s updat- ed “ForeSee” customer experience survey. “Open-ended questions give customers an opportunity to provide feedback using their own words, and this often provides key information we may not have consid- ered before,” said Karl Crosson, the agen- cy’s statistician. The three new questions were added a month ago and appear at the end of the survey. They ask customers to tell DeCA what they liked most about their recent shopping experience, share what improve- ments they would like to see in their store File photo and, if they select “once every few months or less often,” explain why they don’t shop more frequently.

STEPS 1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the barley and stir to coat thoroughly with oil. Continuing to stir frequently, cook the barley in the oil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it begins to give off a mild toasted smell. 2. Add the boiling water and chicken base, stir to dissolve the base. Add all of the dried seasonings, the canned pumpkin and sliced mushrooms. Stir to incorporate all of the ingredients. Cover and let mixture come to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring once at about 15 minutes. 3. After 30 minutes of simmering time, add the white wine and stir. Cover and continue to cook for about 15 minutes or until barley has a slightly chewy texture. 4. Add the baby spinach, margarine, salt and TECHNIQUES pepper. Stir to blend ingredients and to wilt the spinach. Hataway demonstrates the movement using a bar and kettlebells. 5. Serve and enjoy!
