Things we eat: February 2008 Archives

It's that time of year again... this just in, not in time for our next Southern York County Weekly Record edition but still yummy:

Indulge your sweet tooth and place your order not for homemade Easter candy from the Women of Grace United Methodist Church.

Hand-dipped creams are available in four flavors; vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter and coconut; or in an assorted box containing all four flavors.

Also available are chocolate-covered peanut clusters and raisin clusters and these, too, can be purchased as an assorted box of both kinds.

All boxes contain approximately a pound of candy and cost $8 each. Orders can be placed by calling the church office at 235-4029 or Jan at 227-9416. Deadline for orders is next Monday, March 3.

Candy pickup is March 15 between 11 a.m. and noon at the church, 472 Plank Road, Shrewsbury Township, just east of I-83.

There are tons of other local places selling Easter candy as well, so if you have a good one to recommend, leave me a comment!

The "Sunflower Chips" are the latest addition to the company’s Snacking Smart line, which was created in 2006 to showcase products that contain healthy advantages such as reduced fat, no cholesterol and low sodium levels.

No, it's not going to give you E. coli. In fact, it's some of the best meat I've had - from Godfrey Bros. Meats of the Seven Valleys area.

So how do you get this wonderful meat?
