Prime Produce

Fresh fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet, but with prices rivaling that of chicken, the last thing you want to do is buy produce that proves to be inedible.

Turtle Cookie Cups

1 pkg	Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
3 Tbsp	vegetable oil
1 Tbsp	water
1	egg
36	round milk chocolate-covered chewy caramels, unwrapped (I'm assuming they mean Rolos)
36	pecan halves

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place miniature paper baking cups in each of 36 mini muffin cups.

In large bowl stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until soft dough forms.

Shape dough into 36 1-1/4 inch balls, place in muffin cups. If dough becomes sticky, dust hands with flour.

Bake 8 - 9 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately press one milk chocolate-covered caramel into center of each cookie cup.

Cool two minutes. Top with pecan halves. Cool completely. Remove from pan with narrow spatula.

I can't believe I'm saying this but it's time to start thinking about

BACK TO SCHOOL! In just a few short weeks, we'll be packing backpacks, meeting school buses and filling out an inch high stacks of forms and permission slips. Wow. Where has the summer gone?

Here at N2N, we've got your back! We're still putting out the warm weather clothes your kids will need until October but we've also started tagging and hanging fall inventory- come by and save, save, save on all your back to school fashions!

What's on sale this week?

You just can't beat the Wild Card Sale. Pick a card to see where you'll find your 30% discount. Is it ladies' tops? Kid's clothes? Menswear? 30% off your whole purchase? Hey, you'll never know if you don't play!

Thinking about cleaning out some closets? Remember our mantra:
Recycle Reuse Resale!

Here's a refresher on our buying program:
Do the first cut for us. Don't bring anything with problems...spots, stains, smelly, outdated...you know the drill.

We do our store credit buying Monday thru Thursday from 10 am to 4 pm. You don't need an appointment but our buying is on a first come, first served basis so you may have to wait a few minutes (Hint: we have TWO buyers here on Monday and Wednesday so if you're pressed for time, those days are your best bet.)

As a rule, we don't buy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There's often only one employee in the shop and it's impossible to give our customers the attention they deserve if we're up front buying. Thanks for understanding.

We want to buy your clothes. If your schedule prevents you from coming in during normal buying hours, just give us a call and we'll work out a time.

Text from your computer

I'm sure this is old news to many of you, but I just discovered I can send texts from my laptop! Arthur swears he told me about it a long time ago but I have no recollection. He also says I don't pay attention to anything he says, so...

My old Razor phone makes texting a chore but THIS...wow! Since I can text Rachel in Israel for free, this information arrived at the perfect time.

Whatcha Eatin'?

You can make a delicious, fluffy, moist peanut butter cake in your microwave in about one minute (30 seconds mixing, 30 seconds zapping). It even has frosting. This is portion control and convenience at their greatest.

The options are also endless. Toss in a tablespoon of chocolate chips for a chocolatey and gooey kick (like it has in the picture) or a few peanuts for an earthy crunch. Or leave it plain for the quickest and easiest route to dessert bliss.

One Minute Peanut Butter Cake

Serves One

Ingredients:

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 heaping tablespoon flour

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 teaspoon milk

1 tablespoon powdered sugar (give or take)

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, baking powder, peanut butter and flour.

Pour batter into a greased ramekin. Microwave for 30 seconds.

While the cake is microwaving, stir together milk and powdered sugar, adding more powdered sugar if necessary to thicken frosting.

Remove cake from ramekin (or don’t) and pour frosting over top.

Enjoy!

From Arthur:

Arthur says he realizes that more and more computer users need help not just with viruses and malware, but with using their computers.

Call Arthur at 770-540-5100 or email him at arthur@glazerthepctech.com if you need to set up an appointment. He guarantees his work, has rapid response times and reasonable rates. You've read his columns in the Times, now let him go to work for you.
