Hi Dave,
DD> Especially localised iformation. I worked for the Illinos Department
DD> of Agriculture (ran their print shop) and they were more about the
DD> overall state thn local issues.
RH> Guess they figured that local issues would bog them down too much.
DD> Not necessdarily, just that the state Department of Agriculture is
DD> tasked with responsibility for the entire state all 102 counties. Too
DD> many localised tasks would bog them down and
..........cost way too much to print.
DD> 8<----- SHARTENED ----->8
RH> You can get some pretty good deals at auctions, close out, estate or
RH> yard sales. The other day we stopped at a yard sale as they were
RH> it'll be good for boxes of radio stuff. Best price possible, too. (G)
DD> I bought a fold-up hand truck from Harbor Freight that will do up to
DD> (I think, IIRC) 200# It folds to about 30" X 36" X 4" and fits in the
DD> trunk of my car or behind the front seat of the Ranger (pickup)
DD> easilt. And it's handy plus easy to set up or take down. Here's a
DD> review of it (after the YouToob ads)

RH> This one folds into about 15"x15"x6" (rough guessing), not for heavy
RH> duty stuff but better than hand carrying. When needed, we have access
RH> to a neighbor's heavy duty one.MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm)

DD> Title: Milk Pork
DD> Categories: Pork, Dairy
DD> Yield: 6 Servings
Hmmmmmm, have to keep that in mind as we've got a pork roast in the
freezer.
DD> The vinegar in milk is a well known fake-out for commercial
DD> buttermilk. AFAIK there is no easy work-around for *real* buttermilk
DD> (the leftovers from churning butter. They are very different from
DD> "cultured" buttermilk from down at the grocery store.
RH> Yes, before Steve went into the Army, we'd get our (raw) milk from a
RH> local farmer, gallon glass jars. I'd let it sit a day or so in the
RH> fridge, then skim the cream and use it for making butter, ice cream,
RH> etc. The buttermilk was used in baking--combination of that and lard
RH> (from the hog we'd bought) made the best biscuit, pie crusts, etc you
RH> ever tasted.
DD> As I grew up both "in town" and "on the farm" I know the words to that
DD> song. I was tasked with running (hand cranking) the cream separator
DD> and, if I forgot to make myself scarce, churning the butter. And when
DD> there
DD> was a dairy operation running, trundling the galvanised 5 gallon milk
I never lived on a farm, visited them off and on over the years.
