Kitchen Tips
• Do not stand in front of an open refrigerator trying to decide what to
eat or prepare for mealtime. Instead, keep a checklist of your refrigera-
tor's contents on the door and check them off as they are eaten.
• When purchasing an automatic defrost refrigerators, look for a refrig-
erator with a power saver switch. This
turns off the defrost heater unit when
humidity is low in the winter. It could
cut your operating costs by 10 or 15
percent.
• Keep your freezer as full as possible.
Foods will retain cold better than
empty air and make the refrigerator
more economical.
• When cooking vegetables cut them
into bite-size pieces. Steam them
instead of boiling. They will cook faster and retain more taste and
nutrition. Meat cooks faster in smaller pieces, too.

Adat Shalom's cantor
leaves congregation.
In a Feb. 10 letter to members of Adat Shalom
Synagogue, the Farmington Hills congregation's
president announced that Cantor Frank
Lanzkron-Tamarazo would
cease his duties on Feb. 20.
The synagogue will honor
financial obligations to the
cantor through the end of
his contract period, which is
June 30.
All of our weekday and
Shabbat services will be
Cantor Frank
competently covered by
Lanzkron-
other capable individuals','
Tamarazo
wrote Adat Shalom President
Jeffrey Supowit."Our search
for a new cantor is proceeding, and we are
pleased by the interest shown in the position
here at Adat Shalom."
Cantor Lanzkron-Tamarazo, a graduate
of the Miller Cantorial School of the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York, and who
studied operatic performance at the Manhattan
School of Music, has been at the synagogue
since June 2007.
The synagogue administration said the
board of trustees of the synagogue did not
renew his contract. A synagogue spokesper-
son said the cantor has not indicated what his
future plans are at this time. The cantor did
not respond to a request for comments. ❑
