#Denville’s own Cedar Gate Farm #LoveYourLocal
Denville’s own Cedar Gate Farm has set up a collection box in their store to collect First Aid Supplies for the #Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine
Items needed for donations are: Bandaides, Aspirin, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Gauze, Ace Bandages, any OTC pain relievers, Tweezers, Thermometers, Neosporin, and Stitch Glue. Also collecting shelf stable food rations, such as: peanut butter, granola bars, protein bars and crackers.
Thank you for supporting those in need in the Ukraine.
The Circa 1904 Cedar Gate Farm in Denville was used as a dairy farm and originally owned by Eugene Parks and his family. The farm was sold by the late Dr. William Rodda in 2016 to a Denville family, Fred and Larysa Breem
The Breem family recently gave the “Red Barn” a facelift and have brought life back to its pastures as promised to the original remaining family members. They currently run the farm by raising baby chicks and selling cage free – free range eggs weekly. They also have produced and sold over 40 skeins of wool from their sheep herd in 2019.

In the early 1970’s a new type of game was created that both shocked and intrigued the American Public. What was once seemingly reserved for nerdy types of young people, Dungeons & Dragons has inspired a multitude of other role-playing games, as is today played popularly, even by celebrities. This lecture will piece together the creation of the “role playing game” and consider the viewpoints of both its advocates and its opponents. Program presented by Alexander Clemente.

How to Make Cream Cheese
Just takes 20 minutes!
4 cups whole milk (not low fat)
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat milk at medium to high in a saucepan. Stir constantly to a rolling simmer. Reduce heat.
- Add lemon juice 1 tablespoon at a time in 1-minute intervals while stirring.
- Stir constantly until the mixture curdles and the mixture separates completely. There will be a greenish liquid on the bottom and thick curdles at the top.
- Remove from the heat.
Lay a sieve with cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the curd mixture into the sieve. Let it strain and cool for about 15 minutes.
Transfer curds to a blender and process for about 3-4 minutes until curds become smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste. Add herbs, garlic or any other flavors to taste.
- This cream cheese must be stored in the fridge. Best if used within 7 days. Use within 2 weeks.

Gifts From The Heart – Personalized Mouse Pads
Did you know you can buy Mouse Pads, blank in bulk to customize for gifts?
All you need is a color printer, an iron and photo transfer paper to create customized homemade gifts from the heart!
Using your favorite photo or graphics program (can be as simple as Microsoft Paint!) set up the page size to match the size of the mouse pad.
For regular sized Mouse Pads , you can fit one design per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.
Open your picture or image, add text if desired.
Extend the edges of your design 1/4 of an inch beyond the edges of the design to allow for trimming.
Flip your image or reverse image to a mirror view. This is especially important if your design contains text.
Print a test image on plain paper.
If satisfied with your design and how it prints, load a sheet of transfer paper in the printer. Choose the Best Quality or High Resolution DPI setting in your printer setup.
Make sure the printer is still set to print a mirror image.
Print your design.
Let your transfer paper completely dry.
Using a pencil lightly trace the mouse pad to the back of the transfer paper then trim the excess paper away from the design with scissors.
Preheat your iron on a high cotton no steam setting. Let it get very hot. If the iron isn’t hot enough, your transfer may fail.
Place a cloth on a hard flat surface. Don’t use a padded ironing board. A tile or wood floor or tabletop work great.
Your blank mouse pad should be fabric side UP on your ironing surface.
Place the printed iron on transfer face down on the fabric side of the mouse pad and align it carefully. Place a clothe over the paper and iron the covered paper. Don’t let the iron touch the paper direct.
Iron the transfer in a circular motion. Apply constant steady pressure for one entire minute. Be sure to press down firmly when ironing and pay special attention to the edges of the design.
Let the transfer and mouse pad cool completely for a shiny surface.
Don’t handle it while it is still warm or you will get a flat effect.
After the mouse pad and transfer have cooled, grasp a corner of the transfer paper and peel away from the mouse pad.
You are done!
