Jiffy Lubes 15th Annual

Dear Readers, Thank you for picking up a copy of Recipes 4 the Road. This program has been great fun for some time, in fact I am proud to say we are now celebrating our 15th issue. Every year Im excited to see what creative and festive recipes our local restaurants submit. With each issue they seem to get more unique. This book was created to help curb drinking and driving during the holidays by offering nonalcoholic alternatives to designated drivers. Offering these drinks at your own holiday parties or ordering these at the restaurants are great options for those not drinking and driving. Even if youre not the designated driver, these drinks sound so delicious you may prefer them like the Chocolate Covered Strawberries recipe included in this years book! I must thank all of the restaurants that submitted recipes and our sponsors who help make this book possible. The Florida Department of Transportation, TraumaOne, Channel 4 and WAPE have been instrumental in helping us put this book together and letting the community know about it. Each year other generous companies come on board to help us cover the cost of printing and distributing this book and we truly appreciate it. Please make sure to thank and use the services of these very special companies. We hope you enjoy the recipes and please, be safe this holiday season by not drinking and driving! Wishing your family many blessings and happiness! Sincerely,

Ward Huntley President of South Lubes, Inc./ Jiffy Lube Southeast

Wishing You a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

 Plants such as Mistletoe, Holly, Christmas Berry and Poinsettia are considered potentially poisonous and should be kept out of reach of children. Symptoms of plant poisoning can range from rashes to vomiting and diarrhea.

Holiday Hazards
Alcohol:
Alcohol poisoning is a common risk for children during the holiday season. Many family and holiday parties serve alcohol. Children imitate adults and may drink the beverages they see adults drinking. Remove ALL empty and partially empty cups as soon as possible. Children have a much lower tolerance than adults, so even a small amount of alcohol can be dangerous. Symptoms will resemble drunkenness and may include extreme drowsiness, difficulty walking, nausea, vomiting and possible seizures. Results may be life-threatening, including low blood sugar and difficulty breathing. Store alcohol in a locked cabinet out of reach and sight of children. Other potential sources of alcohol include mouthwash, cologne, perfume, after-shave lotion, rubbing alcohol and cold medicines.

Snow sprays may be harmful if the aerosol propellants are used improperly. Angel Hair (made from finely spun glass) and ornament hangers may cut or irritate skin. Ornaments, icicles and tinsel may cause choking if chewed or swallowed.

Other Factors:
Antifreeze (ethylene glycol or methanol) is extremely poisonous and may result in death if ingested, even in small amounts. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced in fires, from car exhaust, faulty home heating systems and burning charcoal. Carbon monoxide poisoning may occur while sleeping and result in death. Early symptoms of poisoning are headache and dizziness. Disc batteries for cameras, toys, calculators and hearing aids are small and can be swallowed. Occasionally, they may break open to cause poisoning. In the event of poisoning, immediately call the Florida/USVI Poison Information Center Jacksonville at 1-800-222-1222.

Decorations:
Bubble lights containing methylene chloride can be poisonous if a child drinks the fluid (even if labeled non-toxic).

Drunk driving is one of the deadliest crimes. Every single injury and death caused by drunk drivers is totally preventable.
