Let’s get physical, physical. (Well, kind of.) <strong>April</strong> is<br />

Physical Wellness Month and is a great time to focus<br />

on the self. Physical wellness promotes proper<br />

care of our bodies for optimal health and functioning, and<br />

encourages the balance of physical activity, nutrition and<br />

mental well-being to keep your body in tiptop condition.<br />

This could include doing something you haven’t done before,<br />

and that’s where the Morikami Museum & Japanese<br />

Gardens comes into play. They’re hosting The Way of Tea:<br />

Sado Demonstration on <strong>April</strong> 15 and welcome you to observe<br />

Japanese sado, an ever-changing demonstration in<br />

seasonal subtleties. Your involvement in the true spirit of<br />

sado includes harmony (wa), reverence (kei), purity (sei)<br />

and tranquility (jaku), and with the addition of a sip of<br />

green tea and a sweet treat, this will help you to bring a<br />

calm perspective into your busy life. There are even numerous<br />

bonuses to drinking tea, including a healthy dose<br />

of antioxidants, preventing bone loss, boosting your immune<br />

system, and more. The demonstration is held at 12<br />

p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and is only $5 with a paid museum<br />

admission. The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens<br />

is located at 4000 Morikami Park Road. Visit www.<br />

morikami.org or call (561) 495-0233 for more information<br />

It’s liquid gold and it never goes out of style. <strong>April</strong> is National<br />

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month and it’s pretty<br />

fitting that there’s a holiday for this heavenly sandwich.<br />

Thankfully we have some local restaurants that have elevated<br />

the sandwich way past the plastic-wrapped American<br />

cheese sandwiches of our childhood. Granger’s Grille<br />

dishes up their Glorified Grilled Cheese, which is a combination<br />

of six cheeses and served with Yukon Gold chips<br />

(money in their own right) for only $7.50. If you want to<br />

bring this to an even higher level, add bacon, chili, broccoli,<br />

fried green tomatoes, fried bologna, tomatoes or jalapenos<br />

starting at $1 each, and then order a nap for dessert.<br />

Dada is getting even cheesier with their Seven<br />

Cheese Grilled Cheese, featuring cheddar, Swiss,<br />

goat, blue, sheep feta, Muenster and American<br />

cheeses on sourdough served with tomato<br />

bisque for only $10.50. This sandwich is so<br />

ooey and gooey that it’s impossible to get<br />

through the whole sandwich without the<br />

melty cheese becoming the victim of gravity<br />

and spilling out the sides. But, it’s well worth<br />

the mess. Granger’s Grille is located at 802 S.E.<br />

Fifth <strong>Ave</strong>. and Dada is located at 52 N. Swinton<br />

<strong>Ave</strong>. Visit www.grangersgrille.com and www.sub-culture.<br />

org for menus and more information.<br />
