We are not farmers. I now live in South Carolina but was raised in Maryland. We go to Maryland about four times a year to see my son and sister. While there we attend auctions in and around Maryland and Pennsylvania. For our enjoy ment, we buy and sell at auctions in South Carolina and Georgia. While in Pennsylvania, I was wrapping glassware and obtained a copy of the Lancaster Farming paper. I just loved it, so when I returned home, I called and sub scribed to it. My favorites are (of course) recipes and the question and answer column. When we are planning a trip that way, I check out auctions that we would like to attend. When in the Lancaster area, we go to the Amish markets. I always bring home chipped beef and scrapple. r KULSALE ' PEANUT »sfp ■JB' pvt) 687-7631 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 17, 2000-815 1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 2 cups milk Salt and pepper to taste V 4 pound Velveeta cheese 4 bacon strips, fried, crumbled Place potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion in a large kettle; cover with water.
