You might think your dish-
h a e n washer cleans itself every time,
p D you use it, but it could use a hand.
Run this cleaning cycle monthly: -
Fill a two small bowls with white
when you .
v1negar, and put one each on the
' upper and lower racks. When the
R E A D W I t h clean cycle is done, sprinkle a cup
of baking soda on the bottom and
your kids! runagam
0 Cooking Tip: After you have
rotisserie chicken for dinner,
throw the carcass in a pot and ;
make a quick stock. All you need
are: a quartered onion; two car-
rots and two celery stalks, rough- .
ly chopped; a bay leaf and other
spices you enjoy; a bit of salt; your
rotisserie chicken carcass; and
enough water to cover. Boil and
let simmer for up to two hours.
Strain and store.

0 If you need to chop bacon for a
garnish or slice chicken or beef for
fajitas, freeze the meat before you
chop; It will make it much easier
to get the slices uniform because
it doesn’t slide around.
- Look closely at extra-large
size boxes of cereal. I was sur-
prised to find that the bulk size of
my favorite was actually costing
me more per ounce. Now I always
check the per-unit price, which is
often found on the price tag.
1. Mix celery, onion and carrots in bottbm of 5-1/2- to 6-1/2-quart
slow-cooker pot. In large bowl, combine coriander, ginger, salt, nutmeg,
thyme and pepper;'add beef and toss to coat well. Transfer beef mixture
to pot with vegetables. Pour stewed tomatoes over beef. It’s not neces-
sary to stir. ~
2. Cover pot With lid and cook on low setting as manufacturer directs,
8 to 10 hours or until beef is fork-tender.
3. When beef is tender and ready to serve, strain stew over 3-quart

Feeding monarchs
The monarch caterpillar (the larvae
stage of the monarch butterfly) feeds
only on the leaves of milkweed plants.
From these it gains all the nutrition
needed to change into the adult form.
The adult monarch consumes nectar
‘ from flowers, .minerals from mud
puddles and liquids from fruits. To
attract them to your backyard,
‘$\ leave out slices 0f banana,
“, oranges or watermelon, and
b.“ planta variety of flOwering
plants. —--VB. Weaver
