Quick Applesauce - Apple Season

QUICK APPLESAUCE
You just got a bunch of fresh apples, and you are afraid that they are going to go bad.

You can make up a quick batch of applesauce that will keep in the refrigerator for 10-12 days.

Wash 6-8 apples, then core and quarter.

Place the apples into a saucepan and cover with 1/4 cup water.

Bring to a simmer and cover until the apples have cooked to a mush.

Puree in a blender or with a food mixer and add sugar to taste.

Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Eunice Kennedy Schriver

In Memory of Eunice Kennedy Schriver


We are all ships returning home
laden with life's experience,
memories of work, good times and sorrows,
each with his special cargo;
And it is our common lot
to show the marks of the voyage,
here a shattered prow, there a patched rigging,
and every hulk turned black
by the unceasing batter of the restless wave.

May we be thankful for fair weather and smooth seas,
and in times of storm have the courage
and patience that mark every good mariner;
And, overall, may we have the cheering hope of joyful meetings,
as our ship at last drops anchor
in the still water of the eternal harbor.

5 Useful Ways with a Contact Lens Case

Think those double-cylinder lens cases are only good for your contacts? Think again! Here, we found five other uses that are just as handy.

Household Tips


1. Petroleum Jelly and Lotion
Fill one side with moisturizer or hand lotion and the other with jelly to dab on your lips on the go. Contact cases are wonderfully leakproof.

2. Earplugs
No more feeling your way around your bedside drawer in the dark. Keep one in each side of the case.

3. Pills
Pack a set of your daily meds and put it in your purse just in case. Or stash other pills you might need (Tylenol, Imodium, Benadryl). Use a permanent marker to label the bottom of the case with what’s inside.

4. Earrings
For those days when you forget to put some on before you leave the house. Put your dependable studs in a case, and slide it into your travel makeup kit.

5. Overnight Shampoo and Conditioner
When you need just one night’s worth of toiletries, squeeze a gob of shampoo in one side, conditioner in the other.
