Editorial Board Jeff Precourt, Publisher Les Bowen, Digital Editor Opinion Larry Campbell, Executive Editor Ron Jackimowicz, News Editor theworldlink.com/news/opinion Dems will pay for Obamacare

As Democrats survey a troubled 2014 political landscape, it’s easy to forget how optimistic they seemed less than a year ago. “I would expect that Nancy Pelosi is going to be speaker again pretty soon,” President Obama told cheering House Democrats at a party retreat last February. In the rosy scenario that took hold in some Democratic circles, the party was posi- tioned to recapture the House in 2014 and maintain control of the Senate, allowing Obama to defy the history of second-term presidential decline. Great successes and good years lay ahead. Had Democrats forgotten Obamacare,the law they passed in 2010 that was scheduled to take effect in 2014? It almost seemed as if they had. Obama and his allies put off the arrival of Obamacare until after the Letters to the Editor president faced re-elec- tion in 2012.

A6• The World • Monday, January6, 2014 DILBERT How to make groceries last even longer A recent column on the FRANK AND ERNEST proper storage for fresh fruits and vegetables gener- ated a lot of great reader feedback — plus dozens of new tips and tricks to make all grocery items last longer. I love this stuff so much, I must admit to being slightly compulsive — gathering, testing and assessing tech- niques. Here are a few of my new favorites: BERRIES: Are you famil- THE BORN LOSER iar with EVERYDAY that sick CHEAPSKATE feeling that comes when you notice that the berries you bought yester- Mary day are ZITS Hunt already showing signs of mold and turning brown? Here’s the remedy: As soon as you bring them into the kitchen, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider) and ten parts water. Give the berries a bath in the mixture. Swirl them around a bit and then gently drain, rinse and place CLASSIC PEANUTS in the refrigerator. Don’t worry. The solution is so weak, you will not taste the vinegar. This treatment should give your strawber- THE FAMILY CIRCUS ries an additional two weeks of useful life and raspberries a week or more. Vinegar retards the growth of bacte- ria that causes berries to spoil so quickly. POTATOES: To keep potatoes from growing big FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE ugly sprouts before you have time to use them up, store them with a couple of apples. For some reason, that really works to halt the sprouting. NUTS: Roast nuts and then store them in the freezer. This is for all kinds of nuts, even those you plan to use in baking. Roasting improves the flavor and increases the useful life; ROSE IS ROSE freezing keeps them from turning rancid. As soon as you get home from the store, spread the nuts in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake at 350 F for 15 min- utes. Place in zip-type freezer bags or jars with lids and then pop them into the freezer. DISINFECT THE FRIDGE. I plead guilty on this one. I just don’t think LUANN about it if I can’t see a mess. The truth is that any time something spoils in the refrigerator, it leaves behind mold you can’t see, which then attacks the new, fresh stuff you put in there. Disinfecting the inside sur- faces on a regular schedule will make everything last a little longer and smell a lot better. ALUMINUM FOIL. Let GRIZZWELLS me just say that I’m a believer! It drives me crazy that I do not know why this works, but it certainly does: Wrap celery, broccoli and lettuce in a single layer of aluminum foil before stor- ing in the refrigerator. Celery will stay crisp and fresh for up to a month stored this way. It’s simply amazing. MUSHROOMS. Never store these guys in a plastic bag because that traps moisture, which just encourages the growth of MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN mildew. Instead, store mushrooms in a paper bag. Now the air can circulate and the mushrooms will remain dry and lovely for weeks.
