Show Friday, Does this position mean I need to eat mom's words Page C2 October THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 5, 1990 By SHARON HADDOCK Herald Food Editor If my mother were alive today, I believe she'd be torn between utter disbelief and great chuckles at my present position at this publication. The child who picked her way carefully through dinner dishes avoiding tomatoes and pickles has become a food editor? "How did this happen," she'd wail. Or in between wicked peals of laughter, she'd say I deserved this. My mother was an adventurer. She loved to try out unusual dishes while I plodded along avoiding anything new. She'd beg me to try "just one bite" and as soon as she wasn't watching I'd mess up my plate just enough to appear as if I'd complied. As the years went by, she grew hopeless. "Sharon won't try anything new. I give up. There's no use even looking at a new recipe," she'd tell her friends. I think my brothers gave things a shot now and then but basically my mother remained totally frustrated with me and my overly cautious tastebuds. I was a problem in school and at the neighbors too. I hated being presented with foreign dishes like hamburgers with pineapple on or spaghetti with little pieces of something I didn't recognize on the pasta. As I grew older, I gained some power. .1 no longer had to outwit lunchroom monitors to avoid tomatoes so I also gained the freedom to eat them if I wished. I could leave a dish untouched if I wanted. I gradually began to experiment a little. I learned to like broccoli. tp ( fA) i Sharon Haddock M LIFESTYLE V iWRITER it. tasted shrimp, ate an Lynda Pate, Mark Purcell Bonds can pay for college onion once a month. But it's been a slow go. When neighbors brought food in, if the meatloaf had an inch of ketchup across the top, I fixed myself a familiar tuna sandwich. When I remarried this last year, my husband entered the bland zone bringing with him his love of salsa, spices and gourmet dishes. I've adjusted a tiny bit. I let the kids eat what he eats except for the salsa on the poached egg. Being named Food Editor is forcing more rapid change. Suddenly I'm invited to taste fairs and restaurant openings. I have chefs creating their famous dishes who expect me to taste them. People in the office expect me to try the dishes I endorse. It's not all bad. I've experienced some wonderful meals and I've dragged my husband along to test the entrees that scare me. So it's working out. I'm gaining an appreciation for different kinds of foods and ingredients. And along the way, I'm discovering a world my mother always tried to tell me about. It's just this lingering feeling I have that somewhere out there, in a corner of heaven, my mother is just a'grinning. College tuition is not cheap, and expenses go up every year. Parents who wtnt to begin saving money now for children's tuition costs down the road should consider U.S. Savings Bonds. investment "They are a tax-fre- e for college," said Barbara Rowe, Utah State University Extension family resource management specialist. Parents can purchase Series EE bonds and have the interest accumulate without taxes, as long as the proceeds are used to pay college tuition. Certain income limits apply, Rowe said. The bonds must be purchased by a parent and be in the parent's name in order to be used for tuition. Parents must be at least 24 years old to begin purchasing the bonds. Any tax break you receive will be based on your income when you cash the bonds.
