…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar How you doin’? Studies show that your body's ability to process alcohol gets less efficient as you age. Key body functions that help metabolize alcohol, like liver enzymes and total body water weight, tend to decrease with age. So, if you usually have a little too much to drink on New Year’s Eve, here is a morning after Hair of The Dog That Bit You.
Age is not the only problem. We are now finding additional side effects of Covid-19 by way of new neurological symptoms which include:
Alcohol intolerance is a real condition that may occur suddenly or later in life or after Covid-19. Here's why your body may start to reject drinking alcohol. If you have a pattern of suddenly feeling very sick after consuming alcohol, you may have developed sudden onset alcohol intolerance. Best advice, if you’ve had Covid or not, just pace yourself and above all drink responsibility. Prep time: 5 minutes Yield: 1 serving Ingredients 1/2 ounce tequila gold 1/2 ounce vodka 1/2 ounce light rum 1 ounce pineapple juice 1/2 ounce orange juice 2 tablespoons cream of coconut (I used Coco Lopez) 1 Orange or pineapple cherry flag (garnish) Directions
ChefSecret Coco Lopez cream of coconut is great to have on hand at all times for your bar service. It's the perfect ingredient for blended cocktails from piña coladas to blue Hawaiians. Its smooth consistency is also great for adding a burst of creamy coconut flavor into dessert recipes or fruit smoothies. And great for cooking, too.

…from the Perspectives’ Kitchen How you doin’? I’m not bashful about my love of anything peanut butter including these No-Bake Healthy Peanut Butter Energy Balls. They are the perfect quick and easy snack! This recipe is made with only 5 ingredients (probably in your pantry), and they are not baked. They can be ready in less than 30-minutes and they are so delicious, too. And they're fun for the kids to make, too! This healthy snack recipe can be easily customized too—feel free to add in chocolate, raisins, and chopped peanuts. Peanut butter is the main ingredient in this recipe. Use a smooth and runny peanut butter like Crazy Richard’s brand which only contains peanuts and salt as ingredients. Use honey or agave syrup as the sweetener of choice. Remember, it is still a refined sugar that has the same calories as granulated white sugar. Use old fashioned or quick-cooked oats. Cinnamon and peanut butter is a great flavor thrill and gives my peanut butter balls the best flavor. Add a touch of pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for take-it-over-the top flavors. Prep time: 15 minutes Yield: 12–15 peanut balls Ingredients 1 cup peanut butter, natural and runny 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1-1/2 cup oats 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon pinch of salt Directions
ChefSecret: There are a whole host of other ingredients you can add to my energy balls—white, milk, or dark chocolate chips. You could even add in chopped dates, raisins or craisins, shredded coconut or other crushed nuts. Or, you can dip them in chocolate coating … basically anything you like!

Hope your holidays were wonderful... and that 2023 has gotten off to a great start. How you doin’? If you look closely, you’ll find a slow cooker setting on most Instant Pot models. Why? Sometimes it’s a matter of convenience and at other times certain foods just cook better in a slow cooker. If you’re suffering from a shortage of cabinet space for all those one-use gadgets you bought and seldom use, your Instant Pot allows you to sell the larger of the two and use your Instant Pot for a multitude of cooking procedures. My Slow-Cooked Sticky Honey-Garlic Chicken is a favorite. While leaning toward Asian tastes, it is an anytime, anyplace single pot meal. The side dishes chosen will determine which way your meal is themed. Slow-Cooked Honey-Garlic Chicken can easily be served with white or fried rice, noodles and lightly steamed green vegetables. The aroma emanating for the Instant Pot will permeate your kitchen and be a great preview of wonderful flavor to come. Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 6 hours Yield: 4 servings Ingredients 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup ketchup 1/4 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup chicken stock 5 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger 3-4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnishing 3 tablespoons green onion circles Directions
ChefSecret: Serve over rice, fried rice or noodles with sautéed vegetables! Quip of the Day: What do chickens order at a Chinese restaurant? Eggroll, of course! ------------------------------------------- Do you have a question or comment? Send your thoughts to ed@perspectives-la.com.
