CORN FLAKES
By ELAiNE. TOWNSHEND
Well, here we are settled
safe and sound into March.
Technically spring should be
just a few weeks away, but
with the unpredictibility of
the seasons in recent years,
I'll believe it when I see it.
Tulips in January? Roses
in April? A blizzard in
August? Who knows?
I entered this winter with
some trepidation. For the
past three winters, I've lived
in a second floor apartment.
High, above the drifts I felt
aloof from, the storms, even
though I knew I had to go out
sooner or later.
Last fall I moved into a
ground floor apartment, and
as winter approached, I
thought to myself, "If we get
as much snow as we got four
years ago, I'll be living in an
igloo.
The gloomy forecasts of
certain prognosticators did
little to allay my fears. But it
was not to be.
VIlhelleVeahly- we're now
entrenched in March ,and I
Can still open my doers,. look
out my windows and drive in
and out my lane. Now that's
my kind of winter! The only
times it has stormed is when

is my kind of winter and I've
enjoyed it. I'm not coal-
plaining.
Ironically we've had more
complaints from snow lovers
this winter than snow haters.
People who received skiffs
as Christmas gifts are
maybe wishing they'd work
on water. Others who bought
Memberships to ski clubs in
December are saying,
"Three trips to the slopes is
not getting my money's
worth."
Snowmobiles sit ready and
waiting for that big blow and
that big run. When a bit of
snow comes, they're off to
enjoy it before the sun melts
it.
Ski lodge owners are
wondering, "Where are the
skiers? What would we do
with them if they did show
up? Where the heck IS, the
snow?'" Even man's

relatively calm winter, We

that might be too much for us
to hope for.
Everytime a storm starts
most people think "This is
it". "This is gonna last."
And maybe someday it will,
regardless of what the.

winter people will have the
last laugh, after all.

The microwave oven saves
energy when used instead of
a conventional oven, but not
always less than the surface
unit.
The food consultants at
Food Advisory Division,
Agriculture Canada have
conducted some tests
comparing the energy used
when cooking with the
microwave oven, the surface
unit and the conventional
oven.
Generally, when cooking
times are similar or when
cooking large quantities of
food, the surface unit is more
energy efficient. So that
when using a microwave
oven on a regular basis, note
that the quantity of food
affects energy consumption.

it wisely
example, the surface unit
uses up about 200 watt hours,
the microwave oven about
350 (75 percent more than the
unit) and the conventional
oven about 750 (275 percent
more than the unit.)
Preparing a two-kilogram
pot roast tells a different
story. The surface unit
consumes about 1100 watt
hours whereas the
microwave oven about 1450,
only about 32 percent more
energy. The conventional
oven takes 4600 watt hours to
cook the same pot roast,
about 300 percent more than
the surface unit. '
In both cases, •the surface
unit is obviously more
economical in terms of
energy consumption but
when it comes to cooking a
larger cut of meat like a pot
roast, the microwave oven is
a close runner-up.
The microwave oven is a
useful took but use it wisely.
As much as possible, avoid
using it to thaw frozen food.
Thawing in the refrigerator
uses no extra energy.
Whenever possible, cover
food to speed up cooking. But
avoid using plastic wraps,
wax paper or disposable
paper products when you
have reusable alternatives
(e.g. covered casserole).
Use standing time to finish
cooking and keep the oven
clean. Spilled food absorbs
energy that could be used for
cooking.
