Apples Brighten Wintertime Menus and More
Dark winter days beg for brighteners. Apples add color and fragrance to meals and centerpieces. They pair with leftovers in inexpensive dishes like apple ham bake and apple sweet casserole. Varieties like Delicious and Winesap suit salads and cooking. Store apples in a plastic bag to stay crisp.
Formal Shoes for New Year's Wear
The right shoes match the formal attire and dinner coat for 1959 celebrations. Patent leather styles with crackless shine return, offering two and three-eyelet options in plain toed designs. Black slip-ons with smooth high polish or matte calf are also correct for formal wear.
