tickling our taste buds<br />
by Denise Valentine<br />
A monthly column by a community member who loves to cook!<br />
Hello again, everyone. With the Labor Day Weekend falling later than<br />
usual, it gives me the opportunity to once again promote the Thurmont &<br />
Emmitsburg Community Show. I thought I would give you another recipe to<br />
bake that you can enter in the show.<br />
This Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe has been prepared by many 4-H’ers<br />
over the years for entry at the fair. It also appears in our 4-H Club Cookbook<br />
and has won many blue ribbons for those who have entered it. When I called<br />
to ask permission to use the recipe, I found out that it was in an agricultural<br />
publication many years ago and has been passed down to each new generation.<br />
I hope you really do take time to enter something at the Community Show<br />
this year. We would love to see you there.<br />
Sour Cream Pound Cake<br />
1 cup butter, softened ¼ tsp. baking soda<br />
3 cups sugar 1 cup sour cream<br />
6 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla extract<br />
3 cups flour 2 tsp. almond extract<br />
Cream butter and sugar in mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs,<br />
1 at a time; beat well. Reserve 2 tablespoons flour. Add remaining flour<br />
to creamed mixture; mix well. Add sour cream; mix well. Add reserved<br />
2 tablespoons flour, soda and flavorings; mix well. Pour into greased and<br />
floured 10 inch tube pan. Bake for 1½ hours at 325 degrees.<br />

Check-Ups<br />
By Jeanne Angleberger, Shaklee Associate<br />
When was the last time you had a complete health check-up? Do you recall<br />
the results?<br />
If you know the date and outcome of your last health check-up, more than<br />
likely you are in the minority instead of the majority of people. Unless you have<br />
experience discomfort or pain, it’s easy to think everything is ok health-wise.<br />
Knowing your health status and having periodical check-ups certainly gives you<br />
the opportunity to take care of health issues.<br />
Take the time NOW! Call your health provider to schedule a physical exam.<br />
Ask what tests are needed. Most full course health exams include a complete<br />
blood work-up.<br />
Be proactive for your health! List any concerns or questions you have so that<br />
when you see the doctor you’ll be prepared to discuss your health.<br />
In addition, a nutritional consultant can help you choose the right vitamins<br />
and supplements to maintain healthiness. As we know, our food supply no<br />
longer provides the daily value of nutrients our body needs.<br />
Another important check-up is a skin exam by a dermatologist. As you<br />
know, skin cancer is on the rise. Early detection can mean the difference in<br />
diagnosis and treatment. Remember, your skin requires care, too.<br />
Seeing your dentist twice a year is the recommendation for dental exams.<br />
Keeping your teeth healthy is very important. As a Certified Dental Assistant,<br />
I cannot emphasize this enough! Chewing your food well is the first step to<br />
digestion. Healthy teeth and gums are essential. Learn proper brushing and<br />
flossing from a dental professional.<br />
A vision and hearing exam should be included with your health check-up.<br />
They are parts of the body that we may take for granted. Perhaps your health<br />
provider can tell you how often exams are recommended.<br />
This information is a reminder that we must take care of our health and<br />
body every day. As I mentioned previously, small changes in lifestyle can make a<br />
difference.<br />
What if the change you make today, creates a healthier life for you tomorrow,<br />
wouldn’t it be well worth it?<br />
