An Update on the Vineyard Mountain Gazette

 

    This is the 10th issue of the Vineyard Mountain Gazette. I am enjoying writing the V.M.G. and I will be go until 20 issues and then I will decide if it is way to much work to do it in middle school or if I don’t think it will interfere with school. I need all the people who paid for 10 or 7 issues in resubscripe if you still want the newspaper I will attach a subscription form to the back of this issue. There will be a list of names in the bottom part of the index.

    Thanks for all the wonderful letters you sent me. The article ideas were really helpful; I still need ideas so please write me. Some of you know this, but I take ideas for recipes, but they can’t be more than a page. Since school is out the people I have been giving papers to at school will get it by e-mail. If I don’t have your e-mail call me at 745-5304. You will not be getting a newspaper the next two weeks I will be on vacation, maybe I can get some story ideas.

Ways to stay cool in the Summer

1.     Host a water gun fight. Just make sure that you don’t invite wimps to the party.

2.     Go to the park, forest or even in your backyard, eat some ice cream and let the day go by.

3.     Go to the Aquatic Center for $3.00 or join a neighborhood pool.

4.     If you have a trampoline put a sprinkler under it, you will jump higher and stay cool.

5.     Most importantly drink lots of water, heat stroke is no fun.

6.     Put juice in an ice cube tray, then put toothpicks in and let freeze and you have mini Popsicles.

 Almond Melon Tart

 Ingredients

  

 

     

1/2 (11 ounce) package pie crust mix

1 cup sour cream

1 egg

1 cup ground blanched almonds

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup soft style cream cheese with pineapple

1 cantaloupe, peeled and seeded

1/2 mango, peeled and seeded

1/4 cup apple jelly

 

 Directions

  

 

1

In a small mixing bowl combine piecrust mix and 1/4 cup sour cream; stir till moistened. Turn dough onto a generously floured surface. Knead about 12 times, or till dough is firm enough for easy handling. Spray a 10-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Press dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

2

In another bowl beat egg slightly. Stir in almonds, corn syrup, and almond extract. Pour mixture into tart shell, spreading evenly. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or till crust are brown and filling set. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

3

In a small mixing bowl, stir together remaining 3/4-cup sour cream and cream cheese. Spread atop the almond mixture.

4

Using a cheese slicer or a vegetable peeler, thinly slice the peeled melon and mango or papaya. Arrange the fruit slices atop the filling. Cover and chill for up to 2 hours.

5

Before serving, melt the apple jelly over medium heat in a small saucepan. Brush onto melon and mango. Cut into squares or wedges, and serve immediately.

Health

 

What is Hay Fever?

Hay fever is the most common allergy in the United States. It’s technically called "seasonal allergic rhinitis", or, even less commonly, "Pollinosis". Hay fever is caused by pollen (dust-like, male reproductive parts of plants) or by molds (microscopic plants that grow in rainy or humid areas), and affects almost 10% of the people in the United States, not including those with asthma. It isn’t usually caused by hay (except perhaps timothy hay), and it doesn’t cause a fever. But it does make those who have it feel miserable.
