"The Apple Tree definitely

young mothers who appreciate
personalized service that is
designed to save time and
money."

HANNA ARNOLD
DIAPERS DIRECT OF MICHIGAN

hen I was a little girl,
I always wanted to be
popular. Who didn't?
Thinking it was
looks that would put me over the
top, I would curl my hair in a
Farrah Fawcett-inspired hair-
do, spend my paper route mon-
ey on Jordache jeans and wear
Bonnie Bell strawberry-flavored
lip gloss and Love's Baby Soft
perfume.
I was ignored.
I played sports, thinking that
was the key. Needless to say, the
bumps and bruises did nothing
for my looks and my less than
graceful skills were the cause of
both pity and laughter.
Still, I was ignored (except for
the pity and laughter).
One friend suggested allow-
ing the boys to peek up my skirt;
it worked for her. I wasn't about
to go there. I am glad I
didn't: I later heard my
friend became a teen-age
mother.
Finally, the answer
came to me. While dis-
tributing treats for my
birthday, I found food
was my magnet. People
didn't care so much what
was in my brain or on my
body but rather what I
could feed them. I was an in-
stant celebrity.
That lesson came back to me
recently when I hosted the first
anniial Kosher Bites Cookout for
the staff. I didn't mind shlepping
to the store to find five kinds of
low-fat wieners, four kinds of
baked beans and five kinds of
barbecue sauces. I didn't mind
slaving over two grills in the hot
sun. I was the most popular co-
worker that day. I actually re-
ceived a round of applause.
Yes, I was popular.
For the first part of the taste
test, we sampled low-fat dogs
from Shofar, Best,
Rubashkin's, Hebrew Nation-
al and Shor Harbor.
Calorie counts ranged from
100 for Shofar to 120 for
Rubashkin's, Hebrew Nation-
al and Shor Harbor; fat grams
ranged from eight grams for
Shor Harbor, Rubashkin's and
Shofar to 10 grams for Hebrew
National; sodium levels went
from a low of 300 milligrams
for Shofar to 480 milligrams for
Best's. The prices for the seven
to eight hot-dog packages were
$2.99 for Hebrew National to
$3.99 for Best's Shor Harbor and
Rubashkin's.

cated, highly scientific test to see
if any of the hot dogs were losers.
First, I purchased the five
packages of dogs for a total of 37
wieners. Next, I cooked them up
and served 35 of them (two fell
into the fire) to the staff. Then,
I waited.
In less than half an hour, the
dogs were done.
