Whodoesn't wince at the thought of throw- ing food in the gar- bage that is slightly past its prime? Take bread for in- stance. It's no lon- ger fresh. So what can you really do with leftover bread, rolls or baguettes that will turn them into some- thing great, almost if by magic? Here's the secret: Grilling, toasting, baking or frying will give bread a second yummy life. In fact, the following are all best when the bread is not fresh. You'll be amazed. 1. French toast. In a bowl, beat together 2 eggs, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 2/3 cup milk. Soak 6 slices of leftover bread in the mix- ture, turning to coat both sides. Heat lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Place bread in pan and cook on both sides un- til golden. 2. Croutons. Rub 4 slices of stale bread with a clove of garlic that you have crushed. Heat 3 ta- blespoons olive oil in skil- let over medium heat. Add cubes and cook, stirring often, until crispy. Sprin- kle with salt and pepper. 3. Grilled sandwiches. Make it cheese or choc- olate — either way you are in for a fab treat. For grilled chocolate, heat cup fat-free evaporated milk just until boiling. Add 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, let stand for 1 minutes and then whisk until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. Spread butter on each of 8 slices of sandwich bread. Divide chocolate on the unbuttered side of 4 slices, leaving a small border and cover each with the re- maining slices of bread. Cook sandwiches in large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn, press with a spat- ula and cook until nicely browned and the choco- late is barely melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Serve Warm. 4. Crostini. Cut that hardened baguette into slices, oil each one with a generous amount of ol- ive oil then toast. Spread each with dijon mus- tard then top with what- ever you have available like creamed kale, to- mato slices, sliced meat and top with cheese — par- mesan, Gruyere, Swiss. Slide un- der broiler to melt cheese as needed. Serve immediately. 5. Sweet spiced breadsticks. Pre- heat oven to 325 F. Cut any kind of flat bread (naan, pocket- less pita, sourdough or even the crusts you cut off the kids' sandwiches) into strips about -by-4- inch strips. In a medium bowl toss strips with 4 ta- blespoons melted butter. In a second bowl mix cup white sugar, tea- spoons ground cinnamon, teaspoon ground gin- ger, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves and a pinch of salt. Toss buttered strips in sugar mixture. Lay strips on sheet pan and bake for about 30 minutes, turn- ing halfway through. Let sticks cool slightly and then serve with jam. 6. Avocado toast. Spread any kind of toasted bread with a touch of mayon- naise followed by soft, but- tery avocado, a bit of lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Kick it up these additions: sun-dried to- matoes, thinly sliced cu- cumbers, cilantro, sprouts, sliced olives — whatever you have on hand. 7. Bread pudding. Pre- heat oven to 350 F. Break 6 slices bread into small pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons melted but- ter over bread. If desired, sprinkle with cup rai- sins. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 4 beaten eggs, 2 cups milk, cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until well- mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

Special guest Craig Downer, wildlife ecologist and author, will be on hand selling signed copies of his book, "The Wild Horse Conspiracy." To help raise funds to care for the sanctuary's wild horses and burros, a raffle of premium items will be held. Topping the list of raffle items is a three-day Wild Horse Sanctuary trail ride for two and two-night stay at the Sanctuary guest cot- tage valued at $1,200. To view all raffle items, visit www.WildHorseSanc- tuary.org, where you can also buy a book of five raf- fle tickets for $10. The win- ning raffle tickets will be drawn at the event. "The open house gives our guests the rare op- portunity to walk onto the Sanctuary and view wild mustangs in a natu- ral setting," said Dianne Nelson, co-founder and president. "It's also a good time to thank our Wild Horse Sanctuary friends and sup- porters and share our story with others who weren't aware of what we do." For 36 years the Wild Horse Sanctuary, a non- profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, has been res- cuing wild horses and bur- ros and providing them a home to live out their nat- ural lives. In its location at 5796 Wilson Hill Road near the community of Shingle- town, some 300 wild horses and burros freely roam the 5,000-acre sanctuary.
