Make frosting out of Halloween candy? What a great idea. CREATIVE ICING. I've found that candy corn, an October favorite in my household, makes great icing. I add a few drops of water to a bowl of the candy. Then I microwave it and stir often until it reaches a smooth consistency. I drizzle the icing over banana bread, spice cake, muffins, pump- kin cookies and all kinds of other fall treats. Sometimes I add flavor- ing or color. It's a great way to get rid of all that extra candy after Hal- loween! -- Ruthie, Massachusetts APPLE ACTION. When apples are abundant, I peel, cut and soak the slices in lemon juice. Then I store the prepared slices in a freez- er bag. I plop the bag in a pie tin and freeze them in the shape of a pie. That way, when I'm ready to bake, I can assemble the pie with- out defrosting the apples. -- Nancy, e-mail CRUMBLY CRUMBS. I store homemade breadcrumbs in a clean Parmesan cheese container. That allows me either to shake the crumbs over a casserole for baking or to measure them with a spoon from the larger opening. When I'm in a pinch, I use store- bought crumbs. Two cheese containers will hold a whole box of bread- crumbs, and I don't have to worry about the box getting crushed in the back of the pantry. -- Nancy, e- mail BUDGET OATS. I stretch my breakfast budget by doubling a serving of oatmeal. I use the recipe for a single serving. Usually, it's one cup of water to 1/2 cup of oatmeal, but I use two cups of water and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Then I add about three minutes of cooking time. It will serve two people gener- ously. -- Marie, e-mail MEGA MEAL. Every time I mail CLEAN CAST IRON. I inherit- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate make a meal, I make three times what we need for dinner. Before I serve it, I separate it into portions. We eat the first portion that night. My husband and I each take the second serving to work for lunch the next day. Then I freeze the third portion for one of those too- tired, too-busy or just-don't-feel- like-cooking nights. -- Beth, e- ed several cast-iron pans that were in horrible condition, with food and who-knows-what burned into them. No amount of wash- ing or scrubbing helped. I researched the problem and found that many peo- ple have good luck by putting the pans in the oven and utilizing the "clean" function. I took the racks out of my oven and put the cast-iron skil- lets in. After a cleaning cycle, the caked-on gunk was burned off, leaving only ashes! I washed off the ashes and seasoned the pans, and they were better than new! -- Candy, Cali- fornia Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Lassen releases enviromental statement Lassen Volcanic Nation- al Park announced the release of the Final Environ- mental Impact Statement for the Warner Valley Com- prehensive Site Plan (FEIS) this week. “I am pleased to announce the release of this document, which is the result of many years of col- laboration between park staff, researchers, and the public,” Superintendent Darlene Koontz said. “I greatly appreciate the input we received during the development of the plan from individuals and groups who have a deep commit- ment to this beautiful and historically significant area.” The Park developed the Warner Valley Comprehen- sive Site Plan in response to the numerous management needs identified within the Warner Valley area, includ- ing the restoration of the valley’s unusual fen and Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.
