Q: Where does Ice Cream go to school? A: Sundae School.
Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake."
Free Fun Take One
Girl: Did you like that cake, Mrs Jones? Mrs Jones: Yes, very much. Girl: That's funny. My mom said you didn't have any taste.

Hi Everybody! What a great week! Hard to imagine just a week ago we had frost!
Pressure Cooker Recipe Cooking a meal in a pressure cooker is so easy, I hardly can call this a recipe.... just a couple guidelines. But, who follows the recipe exactly anyway. I always seem to be an ingredient short and making it up on the go. Here's an easy Chicken, Potatoes and Carrots meal for two. First you will need a 4-6 quart pressure cooker in good condition. If you have never used one be sure to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on use. Next you will need... - 2 Chicken quarters (thigh and leg) - 4 medium size potatoes - 4 carrots (medium to large) - Various spices for your taste

Fill the cooker with about a 1/2 inch of water and add some spices to this - I have over a hundred spice bottles so this is where the experimenting comes in! Next put in the bottom rack in your cooker and lay the chicken on top. Season it however you like, then arrange the 4 potatoes on top of the chicken. Finally, cut the carrots in half and then half lengthwise so you get 16 carrot spears. Arrange these with the potatoes. Now seal it up, set the "jiggler" on top to 15 lbs. and turn on high until you hear the steam begin to escape through the regulator and cook for 15 minutes on medium high. continued on page 8

"Now spell 'straw,' as in 'strawberry.'" "OK. S-T-R-A-W." "Now," the girl asked, "spell 'stink,' as in chocolate." The man hesitates, then confused, replied, "There is no stink in chocolate." "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" she screams.

When the cooking is done you can either let it sit in the pot while you prepare something else or you can "instant cool" it by running the hot pan under water for a few seconds so you can open it right away. We usually do this because the kitchen gets filled with steamy chicken and spices aroma and it makes your mouth water. The biggest thing to watch out for is over-cooking the items. You can get books or check online for some guidlines for all types of meals... enjoy and let me know if any of you come up with a great recipe to share... I am going to do some BBQ ribs next and see how that goes! Thanks so much for reading Tidbits... we appreciate it!

Did you hear about the guy that got fired from the calendar factory. All he did was take a day off. continued from page 1
A: The first chenille bedspreads were made using thick cotton threads, identical to those found in candle wicks. Although the earliest examples of this type of embroidery date back to Colonial America, chenille didn’t really become popular until the Victorian era. Until the 1940s, almost all of the bedspreads were made in Georgia and by hand. Later, companies such as Cabin Craft began mechanically producing them in great numbers. Spreads made by such companies as Morgan Jones, Bates and Hofmann are especially desirable. The value of a chenille bedspread depends on several factors: Condition, the pattern and the colors used all are important. Prices can vary. Spotted recently in Phoenix were three exceptional chenille spreads: An elaborate peacock, $85; a patriotic World War II design with warplanes and military ships, $125; and a ranch scene with horses and cowpokes, $150.
••• Q: I purchased a cast-iron bulldog several years ago at a flea market and recently discovered it actually is a doorstop. Is it worth keeping? -- Mike, Las Cruces, N.M. A: It depends. Since reproductions have flooded the marketplace, it is always a good idea to examine them with suspicion. Cast-iron doorstops seem to ebb and flow in popularity. During the 1980s, interest reached a fever pitch and prices soared. That fever has since broken to quite an extent. If your doorstop is authentic, it might be worth keeping. Typical prices include a Colonial woman with cat, $325; a bunny, $95; a basket of tulips, $150; and a covered wagon, $150. All of these prices reflect vintage examples, not reproductions. Reproductions often can be found in the $25 to $50 range. Be care, since many of the fakes are aged to look old and real.

Toilet Train a Cat?!
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I occasionally see ads for a package that will allow owners to teach their cats to use the toilet. Is that for real? I can’t even train my cat to stay off the counter. -- Fred H., Milwaukee DEAR FRED: It is possible to train cats to use a toilet rather than the litter box, but it’s not an easy task. That’s why those ads for training instructions crop up and then disappear, at least for a while. Still, even owners who don’t care if their cats can do cartwheels on command can teach them some behaviors that make life easier for both parties. Training cats to use the litter box is a prime example, and offers some hints as to how to train them to do other things, like stay off the counter.
Tidbits® of The Lake Area • (605) 541-0110
A litter box is meant to provide the closest thing to how cats eliminate when they’re outside -- they hide their stools from potential predators by covering them with sand or loose soil. So, training often consists of taking a new cat or a weaned kitten and placing it in the litter box. To get a cat off the counter, try to figure out why it wants to be up there. Cats instinctively like high ground. The smell of food may be drawing the cat upward, or even just the memory that food was on the counter, and therefore may be again. When training cats, it’s better to convince them that they want to do something, rather than forcing them to do it or punishing undesirable behavior. Take advantage of their natural instincts to develop your own ways to train them, and combine that training with a specific reward when the cat responds positively.
