DELICIOUS APPLESAUCE

Pick a big bucket (5+ gallons) of delicious apples off of my tree (or get any kind of apples off of any tree). Add water to fill in the spaces between apples (which washes them). Quarter the apples and cut out the core, putting the good part in another such bucket filled half-full with water. Drain the bucket with the cored and quartered apples. Pour the drained apples into a canner-size pressure cooker. Add a quart of water. Pressure cook the apples for 10-15 minutes. Open the pressure cooker and stir the contents. Dip the applesauce into jars and use a steam canner for bottling. Makes lots of quarts of delicious applesauce. (Per Lynn

CREAMY WHEAT CEREAL

Turn on hot water. Get good-sized microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 cup of hot water to it. Microwave on high for 1 minute, while you finely grind nearly 1/4 cup of wheat. Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of salt and then the ground wheat to the bowl of water. Microwave another 33 seconds. Add enough milk to cool it and eat (or drink). Serves one.

Turn burner on high. Turn on hot water. Put moderate-sized pot on burner. Put a quart of hot water in pot. Add less than a teaspoon of salt and cover pot. Finely grind less than a cup of wheat. When the water is almost ready to boil, turn off heat, stir in wheat, and cover. Set the table and dish up the cereal. (By Lynn Heward)
