JOE JONAS Musician

“We always go see fi reworks and have

a big barbecue. [Brother] Nick

and I go to Monmouth

[New Jersey] a lot, where we have a house.”

HEIDI KLUM Project Runway

“My family all dresses up in red, white and

blue, and we are usually at the

beach in the Hamptons,

where there are fi reworks.”

CHRISTIAN SLATER Mr. Robot

“Last Fourth of July, I sat out in the backyard of my ex-wife’s house

and, with her new husband, we shot off

fi reworks with the kids. It was a very nice,

bonding, American moment.”

CATCHING UP WITH

FRAN DRESCHERHaving just completed a run on stage as the stepmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Fran Drescher, 57, will be the voice of Frankenstein’s wife in Hotel Transylvania 2, a 3D animated fi lm, in theaters Sept. 25. The two characters, she says, “can come across as abrasive, but deep down actually are loving and at times insecure or fearful, which brings out other colors of their personalities.” Drescher, the creator and star of The Nanny, which recently was released in a DVD box set, is developing a feature fi lm and a Broadway musical.

EVERYBODY’S TALKING Favorite July 4th traditions

MATTHEW MODINEThe 56-year-old Loma Linda, Calif., native portrays a tech billionaire with terminal cancer who hires a surgeon (Jennifer Beals) to explore life after death, in the new TNT Tuesday night drama, Proof. This summer, the star of Full Metal Jacket, Birdy and Vision Quest directs The Rocking Horsemen, based on his script about a group of teenagers who start a rock ‘n’ roll band in the early 1960s. Modine also plays actress Maria Bello’s husband in the upcoming fi lm, The Confi rmation.

60-SECOND INTERVIEW

THE ALL-AMERICAN RAYSince Rachael Ray fi rst came to national attention with her 30 Minute Meals on Food Network, the native New Yorker has become one of America’s favorite cooking personalities with her Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine and her CBS daytime talk show, Rachael.

What is your perfect way to celebrate the Fourth of July? Hot dogs, hamburgers, my husband’s cocktail of the day and a ride on Lake George [N.Y.] in our boat (named “Delicious”).

You started with 30 Minute Meals. Now you have your own talk show. At what point did you look at your career and go, “I’m a success!”? Um, never. I like to work with people and food, so any day I get up and have a job that involves both, I feel successful.

Do you think you have been able to improve the way America eats? I hope that the food I write about and teach is accessible enough to keep families cooking and eating together as often as possible.

When you travel, is fi nding good food the goal, or can you relax and do the sights? I love to take pictures and write when I travel, but I also stay in spaces with a kitchen so I can cook like a local.

What do you do in your down time? I cook.

You always say you’re a cook, not a chef. Do you ever wish you’d gone to culinary school? No. I grew up working in restaurants, and I prefer the culinary institute of my mom, who happens to be my favorite chef. Plus, if you never learn all the rules or limits in any discipline, you are not scared to break them.   

Rachael Ray cooks with First Lady Michelle Obama.

THE PERFECT TEMP Undercooked or dried-out steaks will be disappointments of the past with the Chefmate Digital Thermometer Fork, which features a digital thermometer and timer built into the handle. ($10.79, Target)

NOW EAR THIS Slide four ears of corn into the Charcoal Companion Non-Stick Corn Grilling Basket (no need for shucking) and you’ll be able to fl ip them all at once. ($19.15, Walmart)

A GRATE WAY TO CLEAN Cleaning your grill by burning off the residue can waste a signifi cant amount of cooking fuel. Instead, give your grates a scrub-down with the nontoxic, biodegradable Weber Grate Grill Cleaner for gas and charcoal grills. It eliminates gunk that, over time, can change the fl avor of your food. ($6.99, Home Depot)

BASTE FOR TASTE Keep the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush set handy to swab on sauces and marinades during cooking. The diamond-ridge bottom of the cast-iron saucepot can also be used to fl atten or tenderize meat. ($24.99, amazon.com)

BEAUTY

INSIDER’ S INSIDER’ S GUIDE TO GUIDE TO EYELINEREYELINERPencil, gel, liquid or cream, Cleopa-tra’s cosmetic of choice can make you look sultry . . . or downright scary. But eyeliner doesn’t have to be intimidating, says Mary Rock-wood-Crabtree, a commercial and celebrity makeup artist who has worked with stars such as Sienna Miller and Brooklyn Decker.

“Eyeliner is not one-size-fi ts-all, so it’s important to experiment. Start at the low end and work your way up until you fi nd one that works well for you—you may fi nd your perfect liner at the drugstore,” Rockwood-Crabtree explains. “If your hand is unsteady, liquid or gel liners may be a little more diffi cult, so be sure to play around with diff erent options.” Her other top tips for getting eyeliner right:

• Evaluate your eyes. If you have signs of aging around your eyes, keep your eyeliner soft and blended. Bold lines can accentuate wrinkles, so dab a sponge-tip wand along the line to soften. One to try: Face Secrets Smudge Brush ($6.49, Sally Beauty Supply).

• Make it last. Keep liner from disappearing before you’ve fi nished your fi rst cup of coff ee by spraying your fi nished makeup with a light spritz of setting spray (close your eyes fi rst!) One to try: Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray ($14, Sephora).

• Care for the canvas. Prep the area with an eye cream for a smoother liner application. One to try: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream ($14.01, Walmart).

• Remove it right. “Tugging and struggling to remove your makeup is terrible for the delicate skin around your eyes,” Rockwood-Crabtree says. Instead, try this: Soak a cotton pad with a liquid eye-makeup remover, and hold it against your eyelid for 30 seconds to gently dissolve your liner and mascara. One to try: Maybelline Clean Express! Water-proof Eye Makeup Remover ($4.99, Target). —Heather Donahoe

ARTIST’S LINER PICK

Mary Rockwood-Crabtree likes the versatility of L’Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner ($8.99, Ulta), a pencil-liquid hybrid, available in four shades.

PET PARENTING

CRITTERCRITTERSITTER PREPSITTER PREPWhether you’re paying the neighbor kid to refi ll Fluff y’s food dish or hiring an experi-enced pet sitter to watch your house and furry friend, take a few minutes to prepare your pet and home.

Beth Stultz, marketing and communica-tions manager for Pet Sitters International, suggests scheduling a meet-and-greet beforehand. “That gives you time to show the pet sitter around your home, let him or her know if any areas are off limits and provide useful information, such as any hiding place or special toy your pet may have,” she says.

A few more sitter-prep tips from Stultz:  

• Pets love consistency, so write down your pet’s daily routine. Let the sitter know when Fido is used to being fed and walked and when he goes to bed.

• Leave a spare key with a neighbor or friend and give them the pet sitter’s contact info (and vice versa) in case of emergency.

• Secure cupboards and put away medi-cations, sharp objects and snacks you may have lying around.

• Let your sitter know if anyone else has access to your home or may be on your premises while you’re away (cleaning service, lawn services, etc.).

• Advise your neighbors that a pet sitter will be in and out of your house.

Q&A I apply sunscreen liberally, but always end up burning somewhere. Help!

It’s not uncommon to miss a few spots when you’re slather-ing on SPF. Here’s a checklist of fi ve places you’re probably forgetting:• Ears. A study from the Skin Cancer Foundation listed ears as the third most frequent location for skin cancers. • Eyelids. The skin on your eyelids will absorb moisturizer better than sunscreen, so apply a moisturizer that contains an SPF of at least 15.• Lips. Frequent use of a lip balm with an SPF of at least 15 will help prevent skin cancers here, which most frequently occur on the lower lip in fair-skinned men older than age 50. • Tops of your feet. A thick layer of dead skin cells protects the soles of your feet against the sun when you’re toes-up in the sand. But the tops face the sun directly when you’re wearing sandals or going barefoot.• Scalp. Your hair provides only so-so protection against ul-traviolet rays. If you don’t want to wear a hat, be sure to put on some sunscreen. To avoid greasy hair, invest in a spray that you can direct on your roots, then rub into the scalp. Otherwise, grab a cream formula and take special care to cover your the part in your hair.

ONE SMART MOVE

CRUNCH ALTERNATIVECRUNCH ALTERNATIVEFor a stronger core, include this move from The Belly Burn Plan by personal trainer Traci D. Mitchell in your regular workout. Make sure you use your abdominal muscles, not your neck, to hold your head and shoulders off the ground. If you’re having trouble, visualize pulling your belly button toward your spine.

good life guide DOC TALK

HOW I SAVE ON L AWN C AREL AWN C AREYou don’t have to spend pile of green to have a lush lawn. Use these tips from Skip Richter, horticulturist and author of Texas Month-by-Month Gardening to help you cut your costs.

DOWNSIZE Decide how much lawn space you really need, and fi ll the rest of the yard with low-maintenance natural areas featuring native plants, groundcover and mulched beds of shrubs and fl owering plants.

WATER LESS “People tend to over-water their lawns,” Richter says. “Watering thoroughly and less frequently helps the grass develop a strong, deep root system.”

SKIP RAKING Grass clippings contain the ideal mix of nutrients, so leave them on the lawn.

GO LIGHT ON FERTILIZER Too much fertilizer results in shallow-rooted turf that needs to be watered and mowed more often.

LEAVE IT LONG Grass mowed to about 3 inches tall will develop deeper roots and will require less watering and mowing than grass cut to shorter lengths. — Cindy S. Guier

Don't forget

these!

Û Lie on the ground with your knees bent. Extend your arms toward your feet and raise your head and shoulders off the ground.

Ü  Tap your right hand against your right heel, then your left hand against your left heel. That’s one repetition; do 30, keeping your head and shoulders off the ground.

ZESTY CHICKEN TACO CUPS 8 (6-inch) corn or fl our tortillas 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 lb ground chicken or turkey 2 to 3 Tbsp taco seasoning mix 1 (14-oz) can fi re-roasted tomatoes, drained

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 large avocado, pitted, peeled and diced Sour cream and fresh lime (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Turn a 12-cup muffi n tin upside down and spray the bottom with nonstick spray.

2. If using corn tortillas, wrap three in a damp paper towel, and microwave them on high until very soft, about 30 seconds. (If using fl our tortillas, no need to heat.) One at a time, gently press the tortillas into the crevices between four of the muffi n cups, forming a bowl shape with each tortilla. Spray the inside of each taco bowl with nonstick spray. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until they turn golden brown and crisp. Transfer the tin to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Repeat twice to make eight taco bowls.

4. While bowls bake and cool, prepare the fi lling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and seasoning mix and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook 4 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. Divide lettuce among the tortilla bowls. Top with ground chicken mixture, cheese and diced avocado and additional romaine. If desired, add sour cream or fresh lime juice. Serve warm. Serves 4.

DINNER IN A CUP

Inspired by those giant restaurant taco salads, blogger and cookbook author Julie Anne Hession

(peanutbutterandjulie.com) of Las Vegas, Nev., created a healthier version at home. Her tortilla shells are baked, not fried, and smaller in size. You can prepare the shells in advance and store in an airtight con-tainer, making this the perfect dinner recipe for a fast weeknight meal or a make-your-own taco salad party.

Bike ParadeA bike parade lets kids of all ages show their patriotism—and creativity. Make it easy by off ering your porch or garage as a prep station the morning of the parade. Stock up on cardboard stars, crepe paper, balloons, garland and fl ags. Put together a playlist of patriotic tunes (“You’re a Grand Old Flag” and “This Land is Your Land”). And set up a refresh-ment station at the end of the route for thirsty cyclists.

Clothespin WreathJenny O’Bryan of Charleston, S.C., made this super cute patri-otic wreath with wooden clothes pins and a wire wreath. Check out her blog, missbutterbean.com, to see how she changes up this idea for other holidays.

HOW TO MAKE IT:1. Spray wire wreath (which usually comes in green) with white paint. Spray 25 clothespins white, 25 blue and 25 red, coating both sides. Let dry.

2. Using a star punch, make 100 stars. Using the gel glue, paste stars onto blue clothespins (fi ve stars per clothespin).

3. The wire wreath usually comes with four rings. Attach clothespins to rings, alternating between the two inner rings. First use 5 white pins, then 5 red. Repeat until you’ve used all the red and white pins. Then attach all the blue pins.

4. Tie the ribbon to the back of the wreath.

5. To keep all the pins in place, use a hot glue gun to attach the pins to the wire, working from the back of the wreath.

Use-Your-Bean CandleHere’s an easy and inexpensive table setting project from Heather Rawlinson (heathersbytes.com) of Las Vegas, Nev. Make several to place in a row on your outdoor table.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:A large glass jar or wide-mouth vase

2 (1-lb) bags Great Northern beans

1 (1-lb ) bag red kidney beans

Dark blue card stock

Pillar candle

HOW TO MAKE IT:Pour the beans into the jar. Stir to distribute the colors. Cut star shapes out of the card stock. Slide the stars inside the vase next to the inside glass. (The beans will hold the stars in place.) Place a pillar candle on the beans, and twist it so it sinks an inch or two below the surface.

continued from page 15continued from page 15

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:12-inch wire wreath (from the fl oral section of craft stores)

75 wooden clothespins

Red, white and blue spray paint

¼ -inch star punch (such as Fiskars)

Textured card stock

Gel super glue

Hot glue gun and hot glue (optional)

17-inch piece of ribbon to hang the wreath
