Basic Toolkit for Small Home Living

Every home, large or small, needs a

good, basic toolkit. You never know when you’ll need a wrench or a screwdriver. So what makes up a good collection of tools for someone who lives in a smaller home or apartment? This list should get you started.

Screwdrivers with flat and Phillips headsMini-screwdriverAdjustable wrenchHammerContact cement or other good glueSmall levelTape measurePliersWire snipsUtility knifeAssortment of screws, nails, washers, bolts, and nutsDuct tapeFlashlightToolbox to hold everything

If your budget can afford it, you might enjoy having cordless tools in your collection. You can’t beat having a cordless, battery-powered screwdriver when it comes time to put together that bookcase or bicycle.

Quick Tips: Food Tip

Cooking kabobs is a great way to use fresh meat and seasonal summer produce. When using wooden skewers, always soak them in water for about 30 minutes before placing food on them. This keeps them from burning while they’re on the grill. Don’t pack your skewers too tightly in order to let the food cook evenly. If you have foods that need to cook for varying amounts of time, place them on different skewers so that you don’t have some food overdone and some not cooked enough.

Quick Tips: Green Living Tip

Enjoying the outdoors can be challenging when there are lots of bugs in the air. Instead of using the strong chemicals found in insect repellents, use natural methods to ward off those pesky critters. Wear long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes, and hats with netting. At outdoor gear stores, you can find Sawyer Permethrin. This insect repellent can be laundered into your hiking clothes to keep bugs away. Finally, stay away from dark clothing, which mosquitos prefer. Instead choose light colored, loose fitting clothing.

By the Numbers: Hurricanes- There were 12 hurricanes during the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, five of which were major hurricanes at Category 3-strength or higher.

- The Weather Bureau officially began naming hurricanes in 1950.

- In 2005, there were 28 named storms, making it the busiest season on record. This forced the first use of the alternate Greek alphabet scheme, which is used when the list of approved names runs out.

- The average number of named storms each season is six, with an average of two classified as major.

- There have been only three Category 5 hurricanes that have made landfall in the United States: the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Hurricane Camille in 1969, and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Save a Life This Summer

Lifeguards aren’t the only ones who’ll be saving lives this summer. People like you and your neighbor will be, too....by donating blood.

According to Beth-Anne Ferley, Donor Recruitment Director at United Blood Services, participation drops off slightly at summer blood drives. At the same time, donations throughout the region drop in the summer because high schools and colleges, which are enthusiastic blood drive sponsors, are not in session. In this area, a whopping 10% of the local blood supply comes from high school and college students. When those students are on summer vacation, it’s up to the community to make up the difference.

“It’s no secret,” Ferley says. “People simply are much busier than they are at other times of the year. Although donors might have other things to do, patients continue to need blood. Nearly 185 blood donations are required each week to meet the needs of hospital patients.” Eligible blood donors are encouraged to give blood regularly to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood.

Ferley urges residents to adopt United Blood Services’ slogan: “Find the Hero in You. Make time to save lives, or recruit others in your place if you are unable to give. We encourage donors to donate at least three times a year - each donation can save up to two people’s lives!”

All donors will receive a free cholesterol test with every blood donation. Anyone interested in donating at a local blood drive or at a donation center, may contact Rapid City at 800-834-8525 or visit www.bloodhero.com to schedule an appointment.

United Blood Services has been this area’s non-profit community blood pro-vider since 1965, and serves patients in 25 hospitals in South Dakota, Wyo-ming, and Nebraska. The United Blood Services network is one of the nation’s oldest and largest non-profit blood service organizations, and is a founding member of America’s Blood Centers and the AABB.

Hemo-what? Low Iron the Cause for Fewer Blood Donations

Iron - it’s in your blood. In your hemoglobin, to be exact. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to your body tissues and gives blood its red color. And not having enough hemoglobin can mean that you can’t donate blood.

Fortunately, low hemoglobin, or iron-deficiency, is most often temporary. It is developed when too little iron is absorbed from food to replace iron lost from the body due to heavy menstrual flow, gastrointestinal disease, or surgery. It can also be caused by eating or drinking the wrong combination of foods, beverages, or minerals - for example, the calcium in milk and other dairy products can block iron absorption, so it’s better to drink a glass of orange juice with that hamburger, and have your milk a few hours later.

So when you plan to donate at your next area blood drive make sure you have plenty of iron in your system. Eating foods high in iron, like meat, fish, poultry, green leafy vegetables, peas, beans, and whole grain bread, will help you maintain a healthy level of iron.

To schedule an appointment to donate, call 605-342-8525 in Rapid City or go online to www.unitedbloodservices.org.

Quick Tips: Travel Tip

Airports can be crowded during the summer travel season. If you’d like to avoid these crowds as much as possible, try to fly during the off-peak times of the day. Booking a flight during the mid-morning through early afternoon or in the evening is your best bet. Even better, choose one of these times on a Monday through Thursday.

Enjoying the outdoors when the weather is pleasant can become bother-some if biting insects are part of the equa-tion. However, not everyone wants to rely on chemical repellents to keep bugs at bay. There are some greener options that may be adequate for most daily situations.

Biting InsectsMosquitoes, biting flies and other in-

sects can be a nuisance when the weather warms. Though many bites create a mild reaction that subsides after a few days, some insects are harbingers of serious dis-eases. Malaria and West Nile virus are just two of the many maladies that can be hid-ing inside of the common mosquito.

According to Mosquito.org, only fe-male mosquitoes feed on blood and bite their victims. The males feed on plant juic-es and nectar. Females need blood to feed their eggs and reproduce. When a mos-quito bites, she injects chemicals to pre-vent blood from clotting and reduce pain. Afterward, however, these same chemicals can cause topical irritation.

Like mosquitoes, female tabanids, or horse and deer flies, also bite. Most prefer warm seasons and the warmth of daytime, but some species are most active at dawn or dusk. Tabanids bite deep and hard, po-tentially causing a lot of irritation.

Especially in early summer, swarms of small black flies can make life difficult for those who venture outdoors. Again, fe-

males of this species bite, but males may hang around and swarm when a female is nearby. Black flies need running water to feed larvae, so they differ in this respect from mosquitoes and other insects that grow from larvae in sitting water. Biting occurs during the day and may intensify before a thunderstorm.

Repelling InsectsThe standard bug repellent is one that

contains the product DEET. It was origi-

nally developed in 1946 for military use, but some have questioned its safety. The EPA says it has been associated with sei-zures in children, but this claim hasn’t been fully substantiated.

Still, many people prefer to look else-where for their repellents, preferring nat-ural products. There are oils that can be extracted from different plants and herbs that provide short-term protection against many biting insects.

Citronella is one of the more effec-

tive natural repellents. It has been used for more than 50 years as an insect repel-lent and as an animal repellent. The oil is taken from dried, cultivated grasses. Pure citronella is most effective against bugs, more so than the synthetic varieties used in many candles.

Citronella is safe for human use and produces no threat to the environment when used correctly. It is generally applied to the skin and may cause mild irritation if used in abundance. Because some people find the smell of citronella off-putting, it can be mixed with lemongrass oil to mini-mize the smell. Lemongrass may also be another natural insect repellent.

Rosemary and cedar can also be tried as insect repellents. These are two other aromas that bugs find offensive. Individu-als who spend time in the yard may want to plant rosemary nearby in garden beds to help repel insects in that respect. Rose-mary is also multifunctional, as it is com-monly used in cooking.

Other safe items to try as insect repel-lents include:

* sage* mint* neem oil* bay leaves* eucalyptus* clovesIndividuals can experiment with these

herbs and oils to produce a product that works for their repellent needs.

How to fight insects the eco-friendly way

Skip the bug zapper. Some natural products are effective at repelling pesky insects.

STRANGE BUT TRUEBy Bill Sones and Rich Sones, Ph.D.

Q. What’s some pain relief you must really believe in?

A. Researchers have begun exploring what might be termed “faith-based analgesia,” where striking a religious state of mind in devout Catholics triggered brain processes associated with substantial relief from physical pain, says Bruce Bower in “Science News” magazine. While viewing classic religious images, the Catholics who were subjected to uncomfortable hand shocks reported feeling less pain than did atheists or agnostics under similar circumstances. Functional MRI (brain imaging) showed a change in the brain activity of these volunteers only while they looked at the religious icons. “What’s exciting is that this new study shows a neural mechanism by which religious belief affects pain perception,” says Duke University psychiatrist Harold Koenig. Relief was accompanied by vigorous activity in a part of the brain associated with emotional detachment and control over pain, much as for placebo treatments.

Quick Tips: Organizing Tip

It can be hard keeping all of your family’s summer gear organized. On a garage or carport wall, hang a row of hooks. Under each hook, hang a plastic tote with handles. Your family can place wet swimsuits and damp towels on the hooks. Flip-flops, sunscreen, water bottles, and pool toys can go into the basket. Not only will everything dry out properly, but it can all be found when it is time to head out in the sunshine again.

Did You Know: Hot Dog! July is National Hot Dog Month.

The first words Mickey Mouse ever said in a cartoon were “hot dogs.”

The world’s biggest hot dog was 1996 feet long, created by Sara Lee Corporation in honor of the 1996 Olympics.

Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport sells more than two million hot dogs a year.

The most popular hot dog topping among adults is mustard. Among children, it is ketchup.

Marlene Dietrich said that her favorite meal was hot dogs and champagne.

The average hot dog is consumed in 6.1 bites.

Americans consume over 20 billion hot dogs each year, with 26.8 million of those consumed at major league baseball parks.

Miller Park in Milwaukee is the only Major League ballpark in which sausages outsell hot dogs per season.

The average weight of a baseball park vendor’s bin is approximately 40 pounds when fully loaded with hot dogs.

Joey “Jaws” Chestnut currently holds the world record for speed-eating hot dogs with his win of the 2007 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. His total was 66 dogs in 12 minutes. He also won the 2010 contest, but did not beat his previous record.

Get ready for

IndependenceDay!

Crafts for KidsYour kids can proudly display their patriotic spirit on Independence Day when they make this United

States flag fan craft.What you’ll need:

•Navy blue & white corrugated plastic •Red & white “Painters” paint marker •Extremely sharp scissors •Popsicle stick •Pen or pencil •Ruler •Scotch brand super-strength mounting tape •Tacky glue

How to make it:1. Measure and cut a rectangle 5” wide x 3 1/2” tall out of the white corrugated plastic. Make sure that the ribs (interior lines) on the white corrugated plastic are vertical so that you can put the Popsicle stick through it when you are finished.2. Measure and cut a rectangle 2” wide x 1 1/2” tall out of the navy blue corrugated plastic.3. Draw white stars on the navy blue corrugated plastic. If you mess up, turn the plastic over and write on the other side.4. Using your pen or pencil, measure in 1/4” increments down the white corrugated cardboard to make the stripes.5. Draw red stripes on the white corrugated cardboard (see photo).6. Let the markers dry for about 10 minutes (depending on humidity).7. Attach the navy blue corrugated plastic with the stars on the upper left corner of the flag with the mounting tape (see photo).8. Using your sharp scissors, cut up a small way on the inside of the white corrugated plastic to make it easier to insert the Popsicle stick.

9. Add tacky glue to the end of the stick and push up inside the flag.

10. Enjoy your really cool fan!

Tips:You can use regular cardboard if you can’t get corrugated plastic, but it won’t be as durable.

Corrugated plastic is made by several manufacturers. It is known as Stratocore or Coreplast, among other names.

To Americans, Independence Day is a meaningful holiday and often the centerpiece of summertime festivities. Commonly referred to as the 4th of July, the holiday celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, in which the colonies officially declared their independence from Great Britain.

Among the more patriotic days on the American calendar, the 4th of July is also among the most festive. Fireworks displays occur across the country, and backyard barbecues commonly begin in the afternoon and last well into the night. Party hosts who want to ensure their 4th of July parties go off without a hitch can consider the following tips.

* Coordinate the party with the local fireworks display. Nearly every community has some type of fireworks display. As a result, neighboring towns often agree to spread the events out so not all the displays occur on the same night. Communities might host their displays on the 3rd or 4th of July, and hosts should determine which night their community will be offering their show. Because fireworks shows are such a big part of the holiday, individuals might want to host their party the night of their town’s festivities. This enables guests to enjoy the display from the backyard or walk to a nearby open field to enjoy the display.

For hosts who are tailoring their party around the local fireworks show, be sure the guests arrive early enough so everyone

can enjoy some barbecue before the show begins because hosts won’t want to be hovering over the grill when the show starts.

* Have something for everyone. Independence Day festivities are for people of all ages, so hosts should have something for everyone. Adults may appreciate a cold beer to accompany their hamburgers and fireworks, but be sure to have plenty of other cold beverages on hand as well. Stock up on soda, ice water and other popular non-alcoholic beverages like lemonade and iced tea. Temperatures on the 4th of July are usually pretty warm, so hosts should buy more than they think they might need, as guests will be looking to stay cool and hydrated throughout the party.

When inviting guests, ask if anyone has any particular food allergies or dietary restrictions. Plenty of delicious vegetable dishes can be cooked right on the grill for vegetarian guests, and foods like fish might be more suitable for guests with preexisting health conditions who should not eat red meat.

* Decorate. Just because the party is liable to take place outdoors doesn’t mean hosts can’t decorate. The 4th of July is all about the red, white and blue, so be sure to display the American flag and decorate in the colors of the U.S.A. Purchase Independence Day cups and plates, and encourage guests to wear red, white and blue to the party. Visit the local party store and purchase some red, white and blue balloons.

Even the food can be decorated. Instead of making regular cookies, make American flag cookies complete with red, white and blue coloring, and do the same with the cupcakes. Bartenders can even use food coloring to make the drinks red, white or blue.

* Host a fireworks display. Fireworks are illegal in many states, so hosts should consult the authorities as to the local fireworks laws before hosting their own party. If fireworks are legal, enlist the help of friends and host your own small show. Keep the neighbors in mind when hosting a private fireworks show, and always keep children away from the fireworks.

If fireworks are illegal in your state, it’s still possible to host a fireworks show. Rent a big screen television for the occasion and take it out to the backyard. Once the sun sets, turn on a televised fireworks event (the Macy’s-sponsored New York City fireworks show is very popular among viewers, as is the display that takes place in Boston) and encourage guests to sit down on the ground and enjoy the show just as they would if they were in attendance. The show can be just as entertaining, and guests will likely appreciate that they don’t have to sit in endless traffic once the display has ended.

The 4th of July is one of the most festive days on America’s calendar. With a few simple tips, hosts can ensure a magical night for family and friends.

Every summer the sky fills with bright lights and loud booms. While most people enjoy fireworks, it is a different story for your pets. Some pets become only mildly stressed from the commotion, but others can become distraught over the disturbance. There are some steps you can take to ensure that your pets remain safe whenever fireworks are set off near your home.

First, you’ll want to leave your pet at home. This will allow your animal to have a safe and reassuring environment in which to ride out the noise. It will also keep your dog from running from you, possibly getting lost or injured in traffic. It is a natural reaction for a dog to try to outrun any danger he or she perceives, so it is safer to have your dog confined at home.

If your animal is receptive, place him or her in a crate to provide for added security.

If you must leave your animal unsecured in your yard, take care that there are no escape avenues. Dogs have been known to dig under fences or jump high barriers, even breaking through glass windows or doors.

You may also want to turn the television or radio on to drown out some of the outside noise. Do not turn these devices up too loudly, but leave them on at normal levels. These will be sounds that your animal is used to and can be reassuring.

As a last resort, consider staying at home with your pet to be available to reassure him or her. If your pet’s reactions are particularly worrisome, discuss with your veterinarian the possibility of sedation medication. This should only be used on a temporary basis and you should be aware of the risks involved in using this type of treatment.

Word Games for Kids: Words in Words

You can sometimes make words using the letters in a larger word. For example, from the word “tube” you can make “be,” “bet,” “but,” and “tub.” Now onto a harder one: how many words can you make from the word “freedom?” (Hint: we found 39.)

Answers:Deem, deer, defer, deform, demo, do, doe, dome,

dorm, ere, erode, fed, fee, feed, foe, for, ford, fore, form, formed, free, freed, fro, from, me, mere, mode, more, ode, of, or, ore, red, reed, reef, ref, rod, rode, roe.

to Fit Your Budget!

The warm-weather season is often awash with opportunities to host parties and other celebrations. The months of June, July and August are commonly a prime time for birthday parties, graduations, celebrations of national independence like Independence Day and Canada Day and general social occasions among friends and neighbors. A block or neighborhood party can be a distinctive way to have a good time and share celebrations on a group level.

Who hasn’t walked or driven by a neighborhood and felt a tinge of envy when he or she came across a block party in full swing? Laughing neighbors spilled out onto front lawns, children enjoying the freedom of prancing in the street, barbecues smoking and coolers overflowing with ice and drinks are just some of the elements to assail the senses. There’s bound to be a deejay or some amusement-type rides to complete the picture, too. Chances are the celebrations continue into the evening hours.

Although a block or street party may seem like it can simply be thrown together with a few conversations among neighbors, there is actually a good deal of planning that should go into executing a neighborhood event.

Getting StartedAt the start, a committee or group leader

should be put in charge of organizing the event. This is often the person on the street that is friendly with the most people and

has a rapport that enables him or her to easily converse with the neighbors and gauge their feelings about a block party and what date would work best. Very often neighbors will be on board with a party idea. It’s safe to expect opposition from a few. These people are under no obligation to participate and can be urged to spend the day elsewhere if a block party would seem intrusive.

The next step is to find out if the town or city has any ordinances regarding neighborhood parties or if a permit needs to be granted. Because hosting a block party often means closing the street to traffic, it’s adviseable to visit the town hall and find out about the legality of such an event and the guidelines that must be followed. This may include what time the “noise” should cease. Once approval has been granted, the creative ideas can start flowing.

Party PlanningVolunteers will be needed to handle

the undertaking that is a block party. Funds also will have to be allocated for the event. Some towns have grants available for social events, but very often members of the community hosting the party simply donate an agreed on amount of money to be put toward the festivities. In addition to money, there are a few other areas of consideration.

* Food: Resources can be combined to have food catered or to purchase items that will be cooked in bulk and enjoyed

by all. However, it is often easier for each individual household to be in charge of their meal for the day. Barbecue fare is some of the simplest food to feed a crowd, and backyard grills can be moved to the street with grill masters donning aprons and spatulas.

* Refreshments: Again, homeowners may want to have their own coolers filled with soft drinks. Though alcoholic beverages are commonly found at social events, they shouldn’t be the cornerstone of the celebration. All it takes is one inebriated individual who gets out of hand for law enforcement to close down the party. A budget can also be set aside for treats, such as hiring an ice cream truck to stop by and give out treats for a set amount of time.

* Entertainment: Chances are block party attendants will want to be entertained. There should be activities for both adults and children. Party rental businesses can be contacted for rides, moonbounce inflatables, clowns or magicians, and carnival-inspired games. A deejay or band can be hired for musical entertainment. If budgets don’t allow for that, put one person in charge of music and have a playlist of songs available. If performers will be available, one neighbor will have to donate an electrical hook-up so that amplifiers and instruments can be plugged in.

* Accessories: It’s often the little details that can make block parties fun.

Party supply stores carry a host of items that can coordinate with a theme. Online retailers may offer some better deals on bulk items that can be used, such as glow sticks or necklaces. Sparklers (if they’re legal), light-up bands or hats and items of this sort can illuminate the evening while revelers are enjoying themselves.

* Advertising: Invitations or postings around the neighborhood are a must to spread word of the event. Volunteers can solicit local businesses to donate an item for free advertising as well. The more people, the merrier the event will likely be. Neighbors should be encouraged to invite family members and friends to the event.

Wrap UpEach neighbor should be in charge of

cleaning up his or her property, as well as the area of the street immediately in front of his or her home. If budget allows, a sanitation service can be hired to sweep the street afterward. The party organizer should be sure to send around an itemized list of what was purchased and how the donated money was spent to promote good will among the neighbors. If there are funds left over, these can be allocated to next year’s event if it was a success. Thank you notes to volunteers and donors can be sent out as well.

A neighborhood block party is a unique celebration idea that fits well with the warm-weather season when people are out and about. Organizing the event can help ensure it is one to remember.

(StatePoint) In recent years, many cit-ies and towns across the nation have made the tough choice to scale back or cancel longstanding Fourth of July traditions, due to stretched budgets. However, when faced with challenges impacting an entire community, Americans have shown time and again a passion for supporting their towns -- and at the same time, honoring the country.

With July 4th fast approaching, Ameri-cans again have the opportunity to show their community spirit. Whether it’s bring-ing back patriotic parades, volunteering at schools and places of worship, or honor-ing the brave men and women who pro-tect us, there are many easy ways to help your town.

Here are some ideas on how you can honor America in your community this July 4th:

* Box it. A timeless way to show patri-otism is to support our troops. Why not or-ganize a care package drive this Fourth of July and send your local service men and women the things they miss from home. Or teach your children about the impor-tant contributions of America’s veterans, and ways to thank them, by using helpful resources found at www.va.gov/kids.

* Encourage hometown spirit. Many communities have cut back their July 4th

celebrations as a result of the recession. But businesses with local roots like Liberty Mutual Insurance are working with cities and towns to change this. For example, Liberty Mutual is hosting an online con-test encouraging citizens across America to rally and earn one of ten $10,000 grants to help continue their towns’ official Fourth

of July celebrations. Visit www.BringBack-The4th.com by June 14th, and find out how your hometown can compete for $10,000 to support parades, fireworks shows and ceremonies honoring our veterans.

* Participate in democracy. Local government officials need to hear from

residents of their cities and towns in or-der to address regional issues effectively. You can do your part by joining or starting a community group, such as a neighbor-hood watch, or by attending a town hall meeting. Or write an op-ed for your local newspaper offering ideas to make a posi-tive impact on your community.

* Visit a national landmark. The coun-try is filled with local landmarks, from war memorials to state parks. Visiting one this summer is a great way to teach your fam-ily about American history and ecology in a fun, memorable way.

* Broaden your horizons. America’s strength comes from diversity. You can honor that tradition by learning about people with whom you share the coun-try. From museums that celebrate Native American culture to multicultural dining, almost every town has something for you to experience. It may even be as simple as introducing yourself to your long-time neighbor whose name you never learned.

Once you’ve decided how to honor America this Fourth of July, spread the word. Social media tools like Facebook and Twitter can help you recruit other res-idents to your cause, building a sense of community. Remember, what you do mat-ters -- especially in your hometown.

Quick Tips: Safety Tip

Before firing up your grill for the season, take a moment to check the air tubes that lead into the burner. These tubes can become blocked by insects, spiders, or food grease. You should also make sure that the tubes do not have any cracks or leaks. If they are becoming brittle, they should be replaced.

Quick Tips: Healthy Living TipSummer is a perfect time

to take advantage of the fruits of the season. Increasing your intake of seasonal fruit gives you an easy way to load up on antioxidants, which can help prevent damage to tissues and reduce the risks of age-related illnesses. They are also full of extra fiber, which can help keep your cholesterol low and protect against some cancers.

Making Life MeaningfulOften we go through life on autopilot—taking the same way to work, sticking to

the same routine, and not fully noticing things around us. It is everyone’s goal to find purpose and meaning in life. Here are some simple steps you can take to help make your life more meaningful.

Be Grateful - Look at your life and take stock of all the good things. Try to take time each day to be thankful for all you have, from basic food and shelter to the love of friends and family. We sometimes forget in our daily struggles to be grateful for our bounty in life.

Vary Your Routine - If you find yourself doing the same things everyday, try to vary your daily life. You will open your eyes to a new perspective and will avoid the monotony of repetition. This can be as simple as taking a new way to work, varying your lunch routine, or reading instead of watching TV. As you make these changes, really pay attention to the world around you, and you may be surprised at how different every day can be.

Live in the Moment - It is easy to get caught up in mulling over the past or planning for the future. This leaves little time to spend in the here and now. Try to appreciate what you are doing each moment. Enjoy your family and friends and see the beauty of the little things in your life. Your appreciation for life will increase as you savor each element of your day.

Simple Ingredients Add Big Flavor to Bacon Burger

Sharing Hometown Recipes, Cooking Tips and Coupons

Nothing makes a summertime cookout perfect like a thick, juicy burger! I’ve

enjoyed countless burgers through the years, but Freda Gable’s Bacon Cheeseburger is in the running for my all-time favorite. The secret is surprisingly simple: Freda adds beef broth and real bacon bits to the beef mix, resulting in a flavor-packed burger that satisfies, bite after juicy bite.

See step-by-step photos of Freda Gable’s easy Bacon Cheeseburger recipe and thousands more recipes from other hometown Americans at:

www.justapinch.com/cheeseburgerYou’ll also find a meal planner and

coupons for the recipe ingredients. Enjoy and remember, use “just a pinch”...

What You Need1 lb ground sirloin (burger)1 c grated cheddar cheese1/4 c real bacon bits1 1/2 tsp Montreal steak seasoning1/4 c water, cold (or beef broth).

Directions• Light your barbecue

grill. (I like to use charcoal briquettes.)

Bacon Cheeseburgers

• Allow coals to get nice and hot in the grill.

• Mix ingredients in the order given.

• Shape into four patties. Make patties flat, as they will plump up during cooking.

Not only does the heat of Summer have me thinking about the refreshing flavors of citrus, but so do YOU! When the Crew and I recently shared a recipe for Creamy Lime Bars with our friends on the www.justapinch.com Facebook page, it caused a swirl of excitement like we’d never seen before! We were inundated with requests for more details about the dish... and all things lime, for that matter!

The lime recipe that first caused a stir among our Facebook friends comes from Ann Simmons of Lugoff, SC. “A refreshing dessert for anytime,” she says of her sweet little lime squares. And that’s just part of why the Crew and I love this recipe so much! With a salty pretzel crust and yummy creamy filling, these bars are perfect for cooling down on a sticky summer night. That makes them Blue Ribbon all the way.

My fellow flavor fans were quick to point out, however, that limes are not meant for desserts alone. The intense citrus juice can work wonders beyond simple sugary sweets. A perfect example of this comes from Stephanie Mabry of Medina, TX. Her recipe for Ceviche Salad brings haute cuisine to the kitchens of home cooks everywhere. “I had this dish several years ago at a restaurant that we visited on our way back from Las Vegas,” Stephanie explains. “It was so hot outside and this salad was so cold and fresh. It really was delicious. As soon as I got home, I had to try and re-create it.”

The wonder of this recipe - outside of the tremendously fresh flavors of shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and onion - is that the whole of the dish is “cooked” solely by the acidity of lime juice! It makes for quite an impressive presentation, indeed. We like to serve Stephanie’s Ceviche with lightly seasoned sweet potatoes and rice. Think of it as a kicky cross

between salsa and shrimp cocktail. It is one of my favorite no-heat recipes for an impressive summer supper.

Another on the list of my favorite lime lovelies is the Cilantro Lime Mayo that Oregon gal Lauren Mitchell serves with her savory Grilled Chicken Sandwiches. “This was a spur of the

moment idea that turned out great,” she says of her delightful pairing. “[The sandwiches are] super fast and healthy.” Lauren grills her chicken with just a pinch of taco seasoning, which in my experience has led to perfect spice every time. Grill either indoors our out, then slather with your mayo of cilantro, garlic and oodles of lime juice for pure sandwich perfection!

The Crew and I have so enjoyed the conversation begun by the love of Ann’s Creamy Lime Bars. You continue to inspire not only our cooking, but every nook and cranny of the Club. Keep those ideas coming and let us know what you and your friends have cooking - There’s plenty of seats at the table... pull one up and join the kitchen conversation!

Find, share and print these recipes and your own at the Just A Pinch Recipe Club, too. It’s a free online community of hometown cooks swapping family recipes, chatting about blue ribbon tips and accessing valuable coupons! Visit us at www.justapinch.com.

ANNOuNcEMENTS

G4 PuBLIc NOTIcES Green Beer...and Other Strange Things. Colors are a festive part of every holiday. Red & green make us thing of Christmas; orange & black are Halloween; and delicate pastels mean Easter. Bright Kelly green can only be St. Patrick’s Day. But for many people the fun of these holidays is spoiled by those same colors when they are added to food. Food colorings were once made from vegetables & berries, but today most of them are synthesized from petroleum. Researchers have found that additives such as these can trigger asthma, headaches & hives in adults, as well as learning and behavior problems in sensitive children. There are better ways to make food appealing to children without consuming petro-chemicals, according to the Feingold Association, a nonprofit organization helping children with problems such as hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder. Use green plastic shamrocks and other inedible decorations on your natural white cupcakes. Serve lemonade or one of the natural lemon-lime sodas in a green plastic cup, then provide colorful holiday napkins. To learn how you can locate foods free of petroleum-based additives, send a long self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Feingold Association, Dept. 193G, 37 Shell Road 2nd Floor, Rocky Point, NY 11778 or call 631-369-9340 or visit: www.feingold.org.

Medicare’s regulations now make it easier for seniors and others with debilitating conditions such as arthritis, stroke, heart and breathing problems, or diabetes, to obtain a power wheelchair at little or no cost. Miracle on Wheels is trying to increase public awareness about the assistance options that allow seniors and the disabled to remain independent in their own homes rather than undergo difficult surgery or other expensive treatment, or resort to moving into a nursing home. These assistance options are available to anyone with problems getting around their home, or who are in danger of falling due to their medical condition. So those who are suffering from any condition that severely limits their mobility should call Miracle on Wheels at 1-800-400-4210 toll-free to learn about qualifying now for a power wheelchair at little or no cost.

“Building our Reputation One Home At A Time.”

Have a Safe 4th of July!

LEGAL FIREWORKSThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission requires that all fireworks must show the name of the item, the name of the manufacturer or distributor, and easy-to-read cautionary labeling and instructions for proper use. Look for them on the label. (If these do not appear, the item may have been made illegally and could be very unsafe.)• Fireworks must be of sturdy construction. Items with bases must have the bases securely attached, and the fireworks must resist tipping over.

• Rocket-type fireworks must have a well attached, rigid stick for proper guidance.• Fuses must be securely attached.

DANGER SIGNALS• A firework that is leaking powder, appears to be quite old, or shows any signs of mishandling may fire unpredictably and should be avoided.

• A loose fuse may prevent the item from igniting as it should.• Avoid any fireworks device that appears to have been wet and then dried. Water affects the sensitive chemicals inside. In addition, moisture can cause the composition to penetrate the paper casing or cause the fuse to deteriorate.

• Illegally made fireworks are not made with the safeguards found in legal fireworks and can be very dangerous. Among the illegal fireworks are M-80’s, M-100’s and Silver Salutes.

• Any firework that does not have a clearly printed manufacturer’s name and address and cautionary labeling is very likely to be illegal.

ILLEGAL FIREWORKS• Cherry bombs, Silver Salutes and M-80’s have been banned by Federal law since 1966 because of the large amounts of explosive composition they contain.
