Out With the Old; In With the New : Trends: Some foods, several drinks and a few people had simply worn out their welcomes by the beginning of the ‘90s.

Time for the ins and outs of the year. A few of 1989 glitzy favorites, such as blush wines, Martha Stewart, arugula, radicchio and mache, have dissipated from 1990’s calendar, leaving a clear sky for starkly healthful things like rice bran, risotto and kale.

Of course, nothing will keep desserts, steaks, meal portions that are larger than life, from pushing their way into the decade, so brace up for another schizophrenic year.

And remember. These are not the Ten Commandments.
