AUCTION 2• Pane 12. PLAINDEALER HERALD. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24,1984 Chef takes mystery out of cookery By Angela Burden * %4 •'Monique Jamet Hooker raowed with humor and gH» 'hat it does not take magic to create a scrumptious chocolate truffle torte at a program recently held in the Woodstock Ppera House. fo Monique presented her cooking demonstration to more tarn ISO persons attending the ftrst pession of this season's Woodstock Fine# Arts Association's Creative Living Series program. She is owner- chef of Monique's Cafe in Chicago and learned her cooking skills in the kitchens of France. Monique, one of 10 children, * working in a hotel kit- i on the Brittany coast when wi Moraine, Volo,parks tabbed for site work she wasi5 years old. She studied food advertising in Paris after learning the preparation of fish, shellfish, salads and pastry at restaurants in Moutiers, Brest and Beig Meil. She came to the United States in 1966 to work for her brother, who was chef- owner of a New York state resort hotel. In 1969, she started teaching cooking in New York. Now, in addition to operating her cafe, Monique teaches cooking in Chicago and is rated by the country's cooking experts as the third of the nation's top 10 cooking school teachers. Aside from her cooking skills, Monique has the ability to create a relaxed atmosphere with her students, frequently drawing laughter from her audience when telling of her own failures in the kitchen. Monique also is good at explaining the simplicity of what appear to be com­ plicated recipes. "Enjoy yourself in the kit­ chen. Cqoking is so much fun. You'll be successful if you love it and enjoy it," she said. Emphasizing the importance of organization in the kitchen before starting to mix ingredients, Monique explained how much easier the preparation of a recipe can be by pre-measuring the needed ingredients and having the correct utensils within reach of the cook. During her cooking demon­ stration, Monique explained the preparation of the genoise (cake), showed how to make the ganache (chocolate filling) and Grain problems expected Brian Sager McHenry County producers who noticed the development of stalk 1 ear rots In their corn this year anticipate some storage pro- is. The reason for this is that els damaged by Gibberella, Fursarium and Diplodia fungi are "y invaded by storage mold is especially important for took feeders to check grain possible mycOtoxia problems ears show the pinkish mold eowth of Gibberella ear rot. ycotoxins produced by this fungus cause reproductive and feeding problems in swine, horses and other livestock. Grain produced in fields where Star rots are common should be dried to 14 percent or less moisture to prevent storage mold toxins. Storage fungi such as Aspergillus cannot grow in grain stored at less than 13 percent to 14 percent. Ear corn should be stored below 20 percent moisture. Only sound, undamaged corn should be stored at moistures between 14 and 18percent for longperiodS. Other factores which can in­ crease storage mold losses are The [EXTENSION) People MAml rapid drying at high temperatures and damage from augers or in­ sects. Old, insect-infested grain should be cleared from auger pits and bins should be cleaned and treated for insects. After drying grain to the ap­ propriate moisture level, it should ' be kept cool and wptched closely for signs of storage mold pro­ blems. These signs include heating, a musty odor or crusting. Vigilance is important since storage molds will produce their own moisture and heat once they start growing. Treatment with a propionic acid grain preservative would be an alternative to grain drying as a mold control.. Acid grain preser­ vatives inhibit mold growth. They do not, however, inactivate or remove mycotoxins. Grain treated in this manner cannot be sold for human consumption, but can be used at livestock feed. Grain stored outdoors in tem­ porary storage without acid treat­ ment should be kept as dry as possible with provisions to move air throughout the grain. Again, the grain mass should be probed frequently to detect storage pro­ blems in their early stages. your hands could complete this picture if you SHOPLIFT... **• lvV in 4* lake O look at *» whole picture ShopWImg leoch to o permanent police recacf lometime* even o lengthy (a* sentence and large fme H oould destroy your chances at o decent )ob. an education, even a loan So It you're temoted to JhaoHfl thinkabout tie bloc* picture In itore la you i^we will pay by the pound F js.

County seeks new mental health board member An extensive^ four-year, $80 million program to upgrade Il­ linois state parks and conserva­ tion areas includes funding for projects at the Volo Bog State Park and Moraine Hills State Park, according to Dick Klemm« R-Crystal Lake. The new program, announced recently by Gov. Thompson, is the first large-scale upgrading of Il­ linois parks and conservation areas in nearly 20 years. "I'm glad to see these projects included on the governor's list," Klemm said. "Improving our parks and conservation areas means new jobs for our workers now and increased tourism in future." More than $400,000 is earmark­ ed for new shelters, toilets, trails, riprap, erosion controlwork and roads at northern Illinois parks. During FY 1985, $92,000 is budgeted for road work and an ad­ ditional $10,000 for trail rehabilita­ tion at Moraine Hills. The fiscal 1986 projects include $24,000 for trail development at Volo Bog State Park. Work on the statewide projects is scheduled to start dur­ ing the current fiscal year and end in 1989. >ara Applications are being accepted by the Health and Agriculture Committee of the McHenry Coun­ ty Board for those people in­ terested in being appointed to a term on the county Mental Health (708) Board.
