FREE BOOKS

Some of you may be familiar with the Library's annual book clearing project. We go through all of our books and we find some that haven't gotten enough attention over the past few years and we put them out for you to take. So please drop by and grab a few copies, we would be happy to see them retired to a good home!

COOKING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

It's summertime and everyone is busy, whether you are working a summer job (or two), or doing research, it can be hard to find the time to get your shopping, between your daily activities and trying to make the most of the weather.

So you check the fridge after a typical day at work, and low-and-behold all you've got left are some eggs, salsa, and a bit of cheddar. You check your cupboard and it's bare except for some rice and beans. You don't have a lot of energy or time to waste in the kitchen, and for some reason you can't make it to the shops. What are you going to do?

Fresh out of ideas? Try out these handy websites: http://myfridgefood.com, or http://www.supercook.com . 

Unlike looking through loads of recepies online trying to find one that matches, use these sites and enter in ingredients you know you have! Have fun meal planning with ingredients you already have, maybe you will save time, and money!

You've got yourself huevos rancheros! or according to Supercook, Spanish Skillet.

If you just happen to have the ingredients listed above in your home try out the recipe at:
