| Cat Litter Casserole |
1 c Bisquick
1 c Shredded Cheddar cheese
1 lb Ground beef, turkey or pork
Sausage
---TO MAKE LITTER---
2 c Long grain rice
3 3/4 c Water
2 ts Salt
2 tb Butter or margarine
--TOOLS-
lg Mixing bowl
Rectangular baking pan
Deep saucepan with lid
Fork
Paper towels
lg Spoon
Stainless steel pooper scooper
To make dumps: With an adult's help, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using clean hands, mix together the dump ingredients in a large bowl. Mold pieces of this mixture into various size/shape dumps.
Place so they don't touch each other in an ungreased baking pan. Use two if they don't all fit. With an adult's help, bake the dumps for about 20 minutes or until they are all brown, firm and slightly crusty.
While the meat cooks, put all four litter ingredients into a large saucepan. Then, with an adult's help, heat on high until the water comes to a boil. Stir, turn heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer without lifting the cover for fourteen minutes.
With an adult's help, remove the saucepan from the stove and carefully (to avoid having your face melted away by the steam), lift off the cover. Break apart, or "fluff" the rice with a fork and set pan aside.
When dumps are done, carefully transfer them onto paper towels to drain.
Spoon the rice and dumps into the now empty baking pan, leaving some dumps partially uncovered, the way Kitty does when he/she is in a hurry. Serves 8-10 litterbox lovers. Use pooper scooper to serve.

| Rock Candy |
2 c granulated sugar
Heavy cord
1 c water
The book says to put one cup of water into a small saucepan, pour 2 cups of granulated sugar into the water, heat the water and sugar on the stove over a medium heat, continue stirring until the sugar melts, keep adding sugar and stirring until it melts, stop adding sugar when you see that it will no longer dissolve in the water (that is until you see sugar lying on the bottom of the
saucepan). Remove the pot from the stove, let the liquid cool until it is just warm. Pour the liquid into a clean glass jar. Tie one end of a piece of heavy cord around the middle of a pencil. Place the pencil over the top of the glass jar letting the cord fall into the liquid. Crystals will begin to form in a few hours. The next day, remove the cord from the jar, pour the sugar liquid back into the
saucepan, reheat and cool it just as you did before. Pour the liquid back into the jar and reinsert the cord with the crystals into it. More crystals will form. If you repeat this procedure every day the crystal candy will grow bigger and bigger. When it has reached a size that pleases you, snip off any excess string and enjoy.

| Food for a Hobo Hike |
4 cn Tuna (3 oz each)
4 cn Baked beans (6 oz each)
4 Oranges
4 Plastic
4 Bandana clots
4 Children
Place 1 can tuna, 1 can beans, 1 orange, and 1 fork on each banadana. Bring up corners and tie securely. Tie end to children's belt loop or attach to a stick and send them off on their hobo hike. Pack another hobo pouch for yourself and go along. Make sure someone has a Scout knife with a can opener attachment to open cans (much more fun struggling with one of these things than to take a conventional can opener). The oranges serve as both a drink and a dessert. Poke a hole in one end and after all the juice has been sucked out, open it and eat the flesh. The tuna and beans, of course, are eaten just as they come from the can. The bandanas serve as little tablecloths, napkins, and kerchiefs to be worn back home. Children love this hobo picnic--it's easy for you, nutritious, filling, and fun from them.

| Easter Mints Kids Can Make |
1/3 c Soft butter
1/3 c Light corn syrup
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Flavoring
3 1/2 c ( 1 lb ) sifted confectioner's sugar
Large bowl
Wooden spoon
Paper plates
Pencils
This is a no-cook recipe the children can mix with their hands. Flavor it with any of the liquid flavorings in the supermarket, such as strawberry and lemon. If you want, you can instead divide it into three portions and add a few drops of food coloring to tint it yellow, red, and green. The knead a small amount of flavoring into each one. This recipe makes about 1 1/2 lbs of candy.
Help the children measure all the ingredients into the large bowl. They can take turns stirring it with the wooden spoon until it becomes too stiff. Then they can knead it with their hands. They should continue kneading until the dough is smooth.
Give each child a paper plate and a pencil. Tell them to turn their plates OVER and write their names on the Bottom to prevent pencil lead from getting on their mints. Help them hold their pencils correctly. Make sure they use upper and lower case letters.
Give each child a portion of dough on his or her plate. The children can pinch off pieces, roll them into balls, and press them lightly with a fork to make a fancy butter mint. Children who cannot roll the candy into balls can make snakes, cut the snakes into pieces, and press the pieces with a fork. They might eat the pieces with the fork, but that's ok too.
Leave the mints on the plates and refrigerate them for 30 minutes, until they become firm. Easter Mints taste even better the second day, if you can keep everyone from eating them all on the first day. Cover with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator.
