Media silent on Wikileaks proceedings

Some thoughts about Army Pfc. Bradley Manning’s pretrial hearing, which con- cluded last week: Manning, of course, is charged with leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the website WikiLeaks and, at his trial in March, will be pleading guilty to certain charges while rejecting the mili- tary’s contention that he “aided the enemy” in doing so. Manning was in court this month seek- ing dismissal on the grounds that since his arrest in May 2010, he has been subjected to unlawful pretrial punishment. Certainly the conditions Manning and his civilian lawyer David E. Coombs described in often dramatic testimony were inhumane, espe- cially for someone not convicted of any- thing — two months in a dark “cage” in Kuwait; nearly nine months in solitary confinement in Quantico, Va.; orders to Public Forum stand for inspection naked.

For THE BORN LOSER example, Carol sent me this great Mary idea for Hunt my lemon bounty. GOT LEMONS? MAKE LIMONCELLO. I loved read- ing the Everyday Cheapskate column on Mary’s lemon bounty. I wanted to suggest ZITS for anyone who has an excess of lemons — make limoncel- lo. This is an Italian lemon liqueur that also uses the lemon’s peels, and it is deli- cious. I made it last year for Christmas and birthday gifts, and had the most fun shop- ping swap meets and yard sales to find really beautiful and unusual bottles. I even researched recipes using limoncello and attached CLASSIC PEANUTS them to the bottles. It takes a few weeks to make, but it’s easy, and the end result is beautiful. With all the juic- THE FAMILY CIRCUS ing, peeling and cooking, there’s not a smidgen of waste. — Carol, email HUNGRY GIRL TASTES BEST.

Food for me is all about FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE taste, mouth-feel, flavor and satiety, and this website has all of these. — Suzanne, email RUB OFF CANDLE WAX. With the holidays here, I wanted to share a great method of removing candle wax from glass. Just rub a lit- tle olive oil on the wax, and it will melt away easily.

After looking through them, I found that many lend them- selves to becoming 3x5 cards. Some even work well as 4x6 cards. Once sized, I use these as recipe cards. Now I can enjoy the colorful designs of these cards over and over. — LUANN Shirley, North Carolina BACON STARS AT THE MEAT COUNTER. I do not buy prepackaged bacon (around $5.99 a pound where I live). Instead, I buy bacon from the fresh meat section (where I am served by folks behind the display case) at $3.99 a pound. It is better quality bacon, and I can get as much or as little as I want. — Deb, EC Blog DOLLAR STORE FROZEN GRIZZWELLS FINDS. I live alone, and I buy several things in the refriger- ated and frozen food sections at my local dollar store. Because the packages are small, the food doesn’t go bad.
