June is coming sooner than you think, and that means it’s almost time for the June is Dairy Month special section.
That popular section features our recipe contest, which emphasizes dairy products.
It seems like everyone is a bit behind this year, though. Perhaps it’s because spring seems to be arriving in fits and starts — first cold and blustery, and then a few days of nice weather just to get us excited.
Anyway, we would like to get a few more recipes in hand before our final selections for the bake-off are made. So, the deadline to submit your recipe has been extended to Thursday.

This is one of my favorite photos. I heard a call over the scanner of the fire and grabbed my camera and out the door I flew. No knowing what to expect I hung back and observed what was happening. I saw all the fire truck gathered at the front of the barn and the firemen rushing around.
It was a big barn and I knew it was going to be burning for awhile, so I had some time to get those shots later. But on the side of the barn was the pasture and I started to see the horses coming. I pulled over, jumped out with camera and ran along the fence line to get into position. Next I saw the horses quickly running from by the barn which is the shot you see. They ran on the far back pasture and up to where I was, but the shot was them coming from the barn, once they were next to me the impact and the feel was not the same.

Appetizers are perfect for those get-togethers that include guests coming and going at different times — like New Year’s Eve or Day.
Tapas are the Spanish equivalent of appetizers, and are a perfect way to keep everyone — vegetarians and meat-eaters alike — happy with their food choices. They can be cold, room temperature or hot. They can be simple, such as olives, or elaborate, such as snails prepared in a spicy sauce. Tapas are appetizers that usually accompany apertif or cocktails.
In Spanish, the word tapa means “cover.” Some say the word came to be associated with food because the tapa was originally used on top of a drink to protect it from pesky flies. Sooner or later, someone with a bit of an appetite started using the cover as a small platform for food.

It's probably the last thing you want to think of on Christmas day: the family breakfast. But it's also too good an opportunity to pass up; when's the last time you had everybody together for breakfast, after all?
If you have a big crowd, you can make it easy by planning ahead, using some convenience products, and assembling the main dish the night before. Forget about making omelets, eggs or pancakes to order. Instead, simplify and use recipes that can be stuck in the oven Christmas morning and left on their own for awhile. Here are some suggestions.
Baked French toast
