Hee's another use for 2-lb coffee cans: Slug traps. Remove the top, bury them in the ground flush to the surface, like a golf cup/hole. Put about two-three inches of beer in the can and overnite any wandering slugs will find it, crawl in and drown. They are crazy for beer. Almost human in that respect. :-) Choose the location properly. Put it as far away from where you don't want slugs, like the corner of your lot, or if you have one, in the middle of the garden of the neighbor with the ugly attitude about life. This will reinforce his view of the world. :-) Now, if you are real adventurous you can play Survivor at home. Take those beer-marinated slugs, put them on skewers, fire up the BBQ, voila' shiska-slug! Cook to taste and dip in a light mustard sauce. Chas

Here's another fun way to use coffee cans---especially if you have young children or grandchildren. TIN CAN ICE CREAM 1 c. light cream 1 c. milk 1/2 c. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 (1 lb) coffee can with lid 1 (3 lb) coffee can with lid Rock salt Crushed ice Mix cream, milk, sugar and vanilla together. Place mixture in a 1 lb. coffee can and cover with lid. Set small can inside the 3 lb coffee can. Fill the large can with crushed ice and 3/4 c. rock salt. Cover with lid. Roll for 10 minutes(this is where the kids have fun rolling it back and forth to each other). Drain water from the large can, stir contents and fill with more ice and 3/4 c rock salt. Roll can for 5 more minutes and you've got Ice Cream. Enjoy!!! Janie
