Energy Savings Ideas

When using the oven, try using glass or ceramic pans.

With these types of pans, you can turn down the temperature about 25 degrees and foods will cook just as quickly.

Use your oven and stove-top as little as possible in hot weather.

Plan more cold meals and outdoor barbecues. Using the microwave and slow-cooker more will also make a difference.

Turn on your old, inefficient fridge in the garage only for those few occasions when you need extra room to store stuff.

It takes extra energy to run a refrigerator or freezer in a non-air conditioned area. Add to that the age of the appliance – if it is old, then the extra monthly energy costs could be significant.

Be proactive in contacting the police

All residents need to be proactive in contacting the police with any illegal or questionable activity in their area. Often, people do not want to "get involved," or they feel an incident does not warrant a call to the police department. Know that our Harris County Sheriff’s officers are ready and willing to investigate all calls from Lakeshore residents. Call them! If it is an emergency, dial 9-1-1. For a non-emergency reportable incident, call 713-221-6000.

DIRECTIONS

      In a saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in butter until tender. Add the rice and jalapenos; toss to coat. Stir in the broth, cumin and salt; bring to a boil.
