Consuming Thoughts Fay Strickler Penn State Extension Home Economist For Berks Co. Shedding a few pounds and slimming one’s waistline often become priorities when warm weather arrives. But, reducing calorie intake should not mean eli minating dairy products. Dairy products provide many of the nutrients you need each day. Some of these are low in calories, others are not Because dairy products are so refreshing and tasty, they have the reputation with some people as being high in calories. Actually, they have fewer or the same num ber of calories and more nutrients than many of the products used in their place. For example, butter and mar garine have exactly the same num ber of calories 34 in one teas poon. The importance difference to many cooks is. of course, the flavor. A calorie comparison of half and-half and liquid coffee whiten er gives similar results. One tablespoon (IS grams) of real half and-half, which is a blend of cream and milk offers 65 Interna tional Units (1.U.) of vitamin A. One-half fluid ounce (also IS grams) of frozen liquid coffee f- CLIP THIS VALUABLE COUPON—T p— — CLIP VALUABLE COUPON—“| ! ROCKERRECLIWER I!

All figures come from the United States Department of Agriculture. Salads make up an important part of many summer menus. Raw vegetables, lettuce, and other greens are low in calories, but many weight and waist watchers often slip up when they add the dressing. If you want to save on calories and at the same time have a fresh tasting topping for vegetables and fruit salads or a dressing for meat, egg and cheese, and pasta salads, try making some at home using sour cream and your own season ings or a packaged dry milk. Sour cream contains only 26 calories per tablespoon compared with mayonnaise-style “salad dressing” at 6S. For those on more stringent kinds of weight reduction diets, making dressing with low-fat or non-fat yogurt or sour cream can cut food energy intake even further while retaining the fresh taste of real dairy foods. Low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese can form the protein foods; they cut calories while maintain- Refused Container) TE & BRASS DAY BED I CASH PRICE s99£» ECIAL $39.88* •bedding and rolls extra ing protein quality. For example, four ounces of creamed cottage cheese, which has 4.2 percent milkfat content, provides about the same amount of protein as two ounces of cooked lean ground beef or two large (two ounces each) hard-boiled eggs. This amount of cottage cheese contains 117 calories; ground beef, 122; and eggs, 164. If you choose low-fat dairy products for some of your meals, you’ll be buying a product just as nutritious, while providing less fat and fewer calories. No matter what type of diet you choose weight reduction, sports, and fitness-oriented for outdoor activities, or a basic meal plan, always include milk or milk products. Whole milk contains ISO calo ries per eight ounces and is a “nutrient dense” food, providing many nutrients in that one saving. Someone in your family might want to choose low-fat milk with 2 percent milkfat which has 120 calories per eight ounces; with 1 percent milkfat, 100 calories. Again, for those on more strin gent weight-reduction diets, skim milk with 8S calories per eight ounce serving makes an excellent beverage choice. All of these milks have approximately the same nutrient profile as whole milk, which makes them good buys in terms of both dollars and diet When you’re watching what you eat, foods and beverages such as soft drinks, that use up part of your calorie allotment but pro vides few nutrients, can be costly to your own diet plan.

A dazzling array of colorful. Penn sylvania German quilts dating be tween 1850 and 1940 are featured in the Hershey Museum’s current, special exhibition, “A Quilt Fami ly Album.” The title of the exhibit is drawn from the unique origins of the col lection; each quilt was carefully designed, stitched, and preserved by the women of one rural, Leb anon County Pennsylvania Ger man family. In addition to the information about the quilts, the exhibit ex plores the lives of these quiltmak ers who were also farm wives re sponsible for much productive la bor in the household, daily and garden. Quiltmaking was only one of the myriad of important tasks which made up the daily, season al, and annual cycles of these rural women. Never before exhibited, the quilts were selected from more than thirty, heirloom, bedcover ings belonging to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kenneth Rohland of Cleona. The quilts were passed down from genera tion to generation by members of Mrs. Arlene Bomberger Rohl and’s family. While the quilts sur vived and were carefully preserv- Single Reg.

During the research phase of the exhibit, guest curator Patricia Keller, museum Consultant, re searcher, and former director of the Heritage Center of Lancaster County, painstakingly recon structed portions of the family his toiy and the stories about the quilts and their makers’ lives. Henealogical date and the quilts’ own physical evidence suggests these bedcoverings were the work of women from one or more gen erations of the Wengert, Bom bcrger, Steinmetz, Ulrich, Ketter ing, and Light families of Lebanon County. Included in the exhibit are tum of-the-century photographs taken from glass plate negatives of (he farm communities in North and South Annville Township areas in which the women quilted. A trea dle sewing machine, quilting frame, and quilting templates and patterns are also included. The exhibit can be viewed daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission to the museum is $4 for adults, $3.50 for senior citizens, and $1.75 for children 3 - 15. Group rates are available.
