Buy a Living Christmas Tree
A perfect way to "give back" to the community in the spirit of the Season. Keep the tree in your house for no more than 10 days, (must water daily!) and then plant it in your yard.
If a living Christmas tree is not an option for you this year and you buy a cut tree, remember to recycle the Christmas tree. For more information on this, you can call Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful at 851-5185.
Don't forget the ornament that we are selling to benefit Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful--and specifically the Christmas Tree recycling program. Come in and buy one today!

Quotation of the Week:
"I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite."

Preventing Winter Moisture Loss |
|
Many people don't realize that plants can suffer from water stress in winter just as they can in summer--particularly if there is a mild winter. Excessive moisture loss in plants can cause stress, wilting, bud and shoot damage, and even plant failure.

What
You'll Need:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup margarine, melted
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup unsulfured molasses
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
|
|
Step by Step: |
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Mix in the melted margarine, evaporated milk, molasses, vanilla, and lemon extracts. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be stiff enough to handle without sticking to fingers. If necessary, increase flour by up to 1/2 cup to prevent sticking.
When the dough is smooth, roll it out to 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface, and cut into cookies. Place cookies on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies are done when the top springs back when touched. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
Yield: 5 dozen cookies
