£44jneister Fanning, Saturday, August 27,=1988 ' Fresh peaches are wonderful to eat out of hand, but they also make luscious microwaved desserts. In Fresh Peach Pudding one peach is cooked with the pudding mixture to give a peachy taste. After cooking the pudding, mosre diced fresh peaches are added, uncooked, along with almond extract to give a fresh peach taste. The combination is rich tasting, but not too high in calories and fat Cooking is easy. Stirring the pudding about halfway through cooking and once towards the end are all that’s needed to make a smooth creamy mixture. Notice that skim milk works well in this recipe. In Fresh Peach Dessert Squares, buttermilk baking mix like Bis quick - and a few other ingre dients are stirred together to make a thin crust. The crust is topped with fresh peach slices arranged in rows. And finally, peaches are topped with a crumbly mixture of oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. The crumbly topping gives a baked-like look and texture to this homey dessert. Cooking here too is fast and IS YOUR BARN CLEANER AA CAUSING YOU A HEADACHE?

Medium Power (50% power, 325-350 walls) is used to slow cooking so that the center gets done belter. A special technique using aluminum foil helps the center get done with out gelling the comers overdone and dried out. Because metal reflects microwaves, foil - if used correctly - can be a useful tool to prevent overcooking on comers of this and other desserts, bars and cakes. Cover only the comers or other undone edges. Mold the foil around the dish so edges of foil are smooth against the dessert and dish. Keep foil at least one inch from microwave walls or ceiling. Before using foil be sure to check your microwave cookbook or Use and Care Guide and follow your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Sure, she is less sheltered, some things are tough for her, but she finds that the com munity is fun.” Elaine spoke of visiting schools for the blind where the students held hands when they walked to a different area. “It’s impractical,” Elaine exclaimed. “In society, you don’t hold hands with people whenever you want to walk to a different area.” While blind people often do see with their hands, touching people is not acceptable to society. Since Becky attends a regular classroom, society’s norms are built into her naturally. She knows that people do not enjoy having her run her fin gers over their faces so she does HOG CONFINEMENT EQUIPMENT * - BAR PENNm G '■“ ! *’ | *' '|] SYSTEM Finishing 1 [ ', | I | Ij t Nursery n I j j U_ ' j 1 ] 1 1 I j J Post," Brackcls, and Accessories.

It’s a challenge for the Hen dricks to encourage Becky to do as much as possible without pushing her to the point of frustration. “Sure,” Elaine remarks, “it is quicker and easier to do things for her. But in the long run we would only be hurting her.” Around home, both inside and outside, Becky does not use a cane, but she does rely on it sometimes in the mall and at school. Classmates have accepted Becky. Some children, when first exposed to a blind person are more sensitive and shy, and are uncom fortable in knowing how to relate to someone who cannot see; others have no reservations and with inquisive enthusiasm question Becky about her blindness. One sighted nine-year-old learned how to use the braille writer so she could write letters to Becky. “She’s my friend,” said Becky. “1 call her everyday. I dial her tele phone number myself.” Is it hard to write in braille? Becky answers, “It’s easy when you know how.” Blindness does not hinder sibling squabbling. Said Becky, “Sometimes I fight my brother Ben. He’s seven.

They ride their ponies; Becky named hers Fancy Lady. “It’s hard work on the farm,” Becky said. “When I grow up I want to be the secretary for our orchard.” The Hendricks planted 1,200 trees on 20 acres of land that was formerly part of Elaine’s parents’ dairy farm homestead. They sell peaches, com, tomatoes and apples, which they grow on the land. “The orchard is Elaine’s forte,” said her husband. Elaine explained, “I wanted to establish work here so I could be home with the kids.” The Hendricks are adament sup porters of the 4-H program. “It teaches kids independence and responsibility.” Since Elaine grew up showing 4-H cattle all her life, she especially is pleased that her daughter can now be part of the program. “The leaders and the extension agent have been super in helping Becky become part of the program.” Becky looks forward to con tinued 4-H competition. She said, “My dream is to go to state com petition with Pride. I want to show Roger Campbell how much she has grown.” The Hendricks live at 207 Mer lin Road in Phocnixville. Modetovcfty_ Sy*temA-^
