EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: MEET MIRANDA EARL!
Miranda’s parents, Jeff and Cheri Saxby, own Lynnpro, so, in a way, she has been part of the company from the very beginning. But it wasn’t until a year ago that she took on a full-time job in our printing department. “I’m a screen printer,” Miranda explains. “I come in and set up my screens on my press, then do whatever job is up next. I’m basically at the press all day.” Before starting at Lynnpro, Miranda worked for her parents’ other business, Angelo’s pizzeria. There, she cooked and delivered pizzas and helped out with answering the phones. Transitioning from that job to the more specialized work she does at Lynnpro came with a big learning curve.
“It is like a family. We’re very close, and it’s very fast-paced. Everybody does their job, and everything goes smoothly because we all rely on one another,” she says. When Miranda isn’t in the office, you can probably find her behind the wheel, shuttling her 10-year-old son, Jacob, between boxing, taekwondo, soccer, and football practices. If
she gets a rare minute to herself, she likes to relax with a good book. From all of us on the Lynnpro team, thank you, Miranda, for all you do!
“Everything here is new for me,” Miranda says, adding, “Everything is different every time, and I keep learning things.”
Luckily, her knowledgeable, supportive coworkers have been there to help her out along the way.

Potato Latkes
INGREDIENTS
• •
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed 1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters
• • • •
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp black pepper
• •
2 large eggs
Safflower or vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
1. Using either a food processor with a coarse grating disc or the coarse side of a box grater, grate potatoes and onion. (If using a food processor, halve or quarter potatoes.) Once grated, wrap in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to wring out as much moisture as possible. 2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. 3. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan containing 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop batter into the hot pan, working in batches. Use a spatula or spoon to form them into discs. Fry about 5 minutes per side, until deeply browned. 4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain, and serve alongside applesauce and sour cream.
