Options are varied
Options can drive a car
buyer crazy, but one farmer
found a way to retaliate
Before I go any further,
let me assure you'l have not
been shopping for a new car:
nor do I intend to look for
one in the near future I'm
hoping my four-year-old
Duster hangs together for
another sixteen years.
But let's follow a prospec
tive car buyer onto a new
car lot. She sees an auto that
she likes: it’s not exactly
what she wants, but it gives
her an idea of the make and
model she should order. She
doesn’t mind waiting for a
few weeks for a vehicle
that’s just right for her.
Of course, she wishes the
price was a little lower, but.
if she scrimps, she should be
able to squeeze the
payments into her budget.
Now she enters the
wonderful world of options:
Does she want automatic
transmission or standard?
Power steering and or
brakes? Two doors or four?
Bucket seats? Reclining
seats? What kind and colour
of upholstery does she want?
Would she like a radio?
Air conditioning? A rear
window defroster? White
wall tires? How about wheel
discs? Does she want an ad
justable steering wheel?
Soon she’s wondering
what else are considered to
be options -

Finally, she has designed
the automobile of her
dream, and then she finds
out how much all those ex
tras amount to in dollars.
There goes her budget!
A friend of mine heard a
story of how an American
farmer responded to a
similar situation:
When shopping for a new
car, he became thoroughly
disgusted with the pricing
system that showed a basic
price for an automobile and

Paint your
own shells
Egg on Easter this year by
painting egg shells yourself.
Just drain the contents by
using a skewer to tap a hole
about 1 cm across, in large
end of egg. Shake out the
blended white and yo’lk and
rinse shell in cold water. Let
dry and start decorating!
You can freeze the contents
and use them up at a later
time.
Frozen eggs can replace
fresh eggs in recipes. Simp
ly us 30 mL thawed egg
white for the white of one
egg; 20 mL thawed egg yolk
for the yolk of one egg, and
50 mL thawed whole egg for
one whole egg.
To freeze whole eggs or
egg yolks, break and mix
thoroughly. When freezing
the whole eggs (yolks and
whites) and egg yolks alone,
sugar OR salt must be added
to prevent the egg yolks
from becoming gummy.
When whole eggs are to be
used as a breakfast dish, or
in cooking, add 2 mL salt to
250 mL eggs (about 6 eggs).
For use in desserts or bak
ing, add 7 mL sugar to 250
mL eggs. Mix thoroughly,
package in rigid freezer con
tainers and freeze.
When freezing egg yolks
separately, add 2 mL salt or
5 mL sugar to 90 mL egg
yolks (about 3 yolks) depen
ding on intended la ter use.
Egg white may be frozen
without added ingredients.
