We take our kids to Home Depot's monthly "Kids Workshops." These work- shops are free how-to clinics designed for children ages 6-12 and are available the first Saturday of each month at all Home Depot stores. Children, accompanied by adults, construct projects, from pre- fabricated kits -- for example, wooden birdhouses, step stools and sailboats -- to more educational pro- jects, such as the plastic bag recycle box and window bird box, where kids can watch the birds build their nests. Each kid leaves with a fin- ished item, an orange apron and an achievement pin. -- Brian O., Cali- fornia POT REPAIR. Don't throw out that busted terra-cotta pot. You can repair it quite easily. Moisten the breaks with water. Squeeze carpen- ter's glue onto the broken edges, and reset the pieces. Circle the pot with strips of masking tape to hold the pieces in place. Let the bond harden. Soon your pot will be as good as new, with more character! -- Victor G., California SELF-GRATING CHEESE. If you freeze a block of cheese and then thaw it, it will crumble. You don't even have to grate it! -- Tanley M., e-mail GROW YOGURT. My kids love yogurt, so I make my own. Boil 1/2 gallon of milk, and allow it to sit in a cool place. When it's lukewarm, add 1 tablespoon of Dannon plain yogurt, and then stir and cover it. Let it sit on top of the stove overnight. It will be done the following day. This makes sugar-free yogurt. You can add fruit, honey or granola to sweeten it. - - Aruna S., Illinois HOMELY BUT USEFUL. Don't toss that bleach bottle with a handle. When it's empty, just rinse it thor- oughly and trim the bottom at an angle and you've got a heavy-duty garden scoop. -- Dwayne E., Col- orado Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate soil and nestle your hose into the V- shaped notch where the handle begins. -- Naomi D., Nebraska PLANT VACATION CARE. Before taking off for your summer vacation, thoroughly soak and feed your houseplants. Then cluster them together in an empty bathtub or a child's swimming pool. Set your plants in a sunny loca- tion or provide them with artificial lighting while you are away. Cover them com- pletely with a sheet of lightweight clear plastic (for example, a dropcloth or a shower curtain), and tightly seal it with tape on all sides. No more water necessary. This will work for up to two weeks. -- Lara P., Georgia SPRINKLER STAND. Turn your spade into an extra pair of hands.

Food Stamp process is streamlined A new statewide policy allows for the immediate restoration of food stamp benefits. Previously, if a household’s ben- efits were terminated for failing to comply with a requirement of the program, they were required to start the process over by re-applying. Restoration of benefits will be auto- matic if the household is able to comply with program requirements within one month of termination of benefits and thereby avoiding the re-application process. The household’s benefits for the first month will be pro-rated from the date they comply.
