REPORT FROM IDAHO FALLS

Things are going good here in Idaho, except for the weather. Last night Karen and I went to enrichment at the church and the wind was WILD and freezing cold. but the program was worth it, telling us how to use coupons in shopping to save money.

Personally I don't much use coupons. At K-Mart this week I (and 3 other women) waited 20 minutes while the clerk checked out a lady with a huge stack of coupons.
she had to be oblivious of us in line, which is necessary if you trade in coupons. we also had to have patience, which I did while reading one of those magazines at the check-out counter.

We learned the best site for saving money is www.pinchingyourpennies.com which has a FREE list of the best deals in local grocery store ads.

Besides the coupon class, we had a demonstration of yummy recipes to make. we also got to sample one called TACO salad, which I enclose here

Brown hamburger about 1 lb.
chopped head of lettuce
grated cheese
avacado diced
1 can kidney beans drained
sliced olives
crushed corn chips
2 or 3 chopped tomatoes
1/2 onion chopped
Catalina dressing enough to cover

This is a "put as much as you like" type of salad.Needs to sit for a couple of hours.

I always expect taco salad to be spicy, but not this one. Give it a try. .
