At the Reunion...

We missed those of you who couldn't make it!

 I got Aunt Jackie to play water balloon toss with me!  She didn't even get wet!

Lot's of fun with the pinata!

Everyone loves to play bean-bag toss!

We had a great time and lots of fun!  I hope those of you who couldn't make it can come next year!  The more the merrier!

Hope to hear from you,

Lydia

Hello Everyone!!

Your presence is requested at the annual

Shaffer Cousins Reunion!

~Join us on June 20th from 1 to 3pm~

We are again at Hawk Island, in the same pavilion as last year (the second pavilion you come to upon entering the park). There is a parking fee of $4.00.

Bring a dish to pass, your own drink and table service, and a table cloth if you want one.

The day might be freezing, but have the children bring their bathing suits just in case! The splash park will be open and it’s a blast!

See you then! If you have any questions, email them to me!

Nappa Salad........

Several people have asked for our Nappa salad recipe, so I decided to post it. Have fun making!

The Ingredients:
1 head Nappa lettuce

1 bunch green onions

Toppings:

2 packages Ramen noodles

1 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cups seseame seeds

1 cup sunflower seeds

enough oil to cook topping in

Dressing:

1 cup olive oil
1 cup honey

1/2 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar tastes best!)

1 teaspoon salt

First of all, I usually start the toppings, so that they can cook while I make the salad.

Break up the ramen noodles, put all the ingredients in a pan.

Then pour oil over it. Turn the pan on and cook the toppings slowly--that way they don't burn.

After that, I cut up the lettuce and onions.

Now for the dressing. Measure out the liquids and put in the salt, then whisk together.

If you are taking the salad to a party, take the dressing, toppings, and lettuce separately and put together there.

Enjoy!

Haley

P.S. For the topping, we often use other nuts besides or with the ones listed. Here we used pecans.
