I love freebies especially when they can improve skills and make things easier to do. Also, it doesn’t hurt if you learn something along the way. Amana invented the countertop microwave in 1967. In 2007, the microwave celebrated its 40th year of existence, so Amana offered a free microwave cookbook to download. I suspect many microwave users, myself included — a self-proclaimed microwave queen — never knew of this cookbook’s existence. Recently, on a random search, I came across this microwave gem. This microwave cookbook features tips and recipes for appetizers and snacks, sides, savory main dishes, and sweets and treats.

More questions about city budget Dear Editor, As I stated before, the employee cookbook listed in the city budget has been moved to the column of “Duplicating and Printing,” page 40, and included with personnel forms, procurement forms, copy machine maintenance and ID badges at a cost of $1,900. Why would a taxpayer ever pay for printing a cookbook? Wouldn't flu shots have been covered under the city's luxurious health plan? Just another perk for city employees. What kind of boots cost $1,000 for seven employees, since each and every department has its own budget?

Dear Editor, My effort to have questions answered has been in vain. I have tried emailing, phone calls, etc. but it seems the majority had no clue as to what was in the city's budget. I became frustrated when most answers I was receiving were “generic,” and thus my efforts began. This is nothing personal, so I do not understand why anyone wants to make this a personal issue. I was sincerely hoping that “someone” or “anyone” would give the people of Winchester “real” answers as to the “real” issues and stop the word-play with the taxpayers of this city.

All right, how many of you let out a scream when you received your water bill this month?! I have to admit I did. I decided there surely must be something wrong. I felt sure I had received the water bill for the Duggars and their 19 kids from another state. No, we do not have a water leak and no, we did not use any more water than usual.  No, this fee is not from recycling being picked up (though, I feel it should be) or any type of garbage pickup (like most water bills include in lots of cities)
