This happens to be my family’s
favorite recipe. I don't mean just
my immediate family either.
My mom, sisters, and even my
husband's side of the family take
this baked good to reunions and
family get togethers. It sure does
beat making whoopie pies.
My husband and I are expecting
our fourth child and I’m always in
search of quick and easy recipes.
We live on a dairy farm, which
makes milk a very easy commodity
to us. That's why / also look for
milk as being part of a good whole
some recipe.

Hello, again from Sugar Valley.
Power saws have been running all
day due to a bad storm last night.
Joe had lost of limbs to saw up
from the many trees that were
damaged.
Hay making has begun. Our
Amish neighbors will get some of
the hay. We appreciate when they
help with the baling.
Our Wyoming son. Tim, is
expected home this week along
with our 15-year-old grandson,
Jason. He plans to help Joe with
hay making if the weather is fit.

Since having my daughter,
Shellbi, nearly three years ago.
I’ve become a stay-at-home
"mommy" and homemaker. We
enjoy flower and vegetable gar
dening and being outside.
My husband, Stephen, keeps
busy raising six flocks of broiler
chickens per year, averaging
90,000 each time. He also helps his
father on the home farm. He enjoys
hunting when time permits.
Even though our farming opera
tion only includes broilers and
steers, dairy products are a large
part of our diet.
We look forward to the weekly
delivery of the Lancaster Fam
ing. Keep on shining!

We again look forward to the
month of June and its extra special

Last year we were blessed with
our first boy. A whooper who
weighed 10 pounds 2 ounces. Born
on June 10. Jeremy was happily
greeted by dad, mom, Jessica, 7,
and Anne, 6. So he’ll be one soon
and he is a dairy fan for he loves
his goat milk. His favorite sounds
are "moo” or "baa."
A healthy, happy, and safe sum
mer to all.
At least once aday, stop to smell
a flower or watch a bird. It’ll be
good to you.

The “Cow Lady,” Erica Davis, believes that fieldwork can
get done sooner with the high energy available In her milk
punch.
‘REAL’
RASPBERRY PUNCH
1 pint milk
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 pint raspberry sherbet
1 cup ginger ale
Mix ingredients in a blender
until frothy. Or. in a large bowl,
mix softened ice cream and sherbet
together. Slowly add milk. Add
ginger ale. Makes four cups.
During the past year this recipe
has become a favorite in the family
and also with friends who have
tasted it at promotions even
those who were not sure what milk
punch was! I can guarantee this
milk punch will be making its debut
at Penn State when I go to the main
campus in a few months!
Enjoy this easy-to-make tasty
drink during the next few months
when fieldwork is in full bloom.
You won't have to spend a lot of
time making it and the workers will
thank you. They will appreciate
not only the taste, but the energy
and nutrients that all milk products
provide. Who knows fieldwork
may even get done sooner!
