4th Annual Solar Cook-off and Expo at Bisbee Farmers Market
The 4th Annual Solar Cook-off and Expo will be held on June 10at the Bisbee Farmers Market. Solar cooks should bring their ovens and their favorite dish to prepare in the sun. The market, which is normally open from 8 a.m. to noon, will stay open until 1 p.m. to allow mid-day cooking. Solar chefs will hold a pot luck at the end of the expo and can share techniques all morning. Some ovens are slow cookers while others exceed 350 degrees and can cook most anything a conventional oven can. Solar cooking doesn't heat up the kitchen and uses free energy from the sun. Solar ovens, solar cookbooks and plans for building solar cookers will be for sale. Visit solar vendors who sell and demonstrate solar hot water heaters, solar well pumps, photovoltaic systems and more. Anyone interested in purchasing a solar oven should ask about the group buy available only at the Expo.

Make your child smile with Sailboat Cake
When my children were little, I made fanciful birthday cakes. A round cake became a clown's face (with a red balloon for a nose), and a square (cut into triangles) became his hat and bow tie. A round cake became a flower, and a square cake, cut into rectangles and triangles, served as the stem and leaves. Whatever I was making, I coated it with frosting and added small candies for color and detail. These cakes were such a smash hit with the under-7 set that I started to fancy myself a cake decorator, and I purchased books on the subject. Suddenly, I was in a world of rolled fondant, leaf-veining tools, decorating turntables, airbrushes, gum paste and foam core. I was, in short, in way over my head.

Beware the 'experts
DEAR DR. BLONZ: I read that caffeinated beverages are diuretics and that when you drink an 8-ounce glass of a caffeinated beverage, such as tea, coffee or caffeinated soda, your body will lose 12 ounces of water. That would mean that these beverages are dehydrating instead of hydrating. It made little sense to me, but there were "experts" on that blog that were agreeing that this was true. I wanted to see if this was true. Where does alcohol rank as a diuretic? - O.C., Boston, Mass.
