Oyster liquid may replace all or part of the giblet In The House By The Side Of Road RICE IS a good main ingredient for stuffings. Corn meal is also a possibility if your family wants a change from the ordinary. Add desired amount of coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans or filberts. OYSTER STUFFING In her 63 years, it is impossible to calculate how many afghans and donuts Mrs. Vena Kilfoylc Hill has made. CUT A gash in the flat side of each chestnut and drop into boiling water. Boil 10 minutes, then, with a small strainer, lift out 3 chestnuts and plunge into a bowl of cold water. Quickly peel off the shells. Lift 3 more out of the boiling water and peel. Boil chestnuts in salted water to cover for 30 minutes or until tender. Mix with the rest of the ingredients and loosely stuff the bird, allowing fora little expansion during roasting. This amount of stuffing is sufficient for a 3 to 4 pound chicken. It can be used in the breast cavity of a turkey with plain stuffing in the rest of the bird. Consider preparing a stuffed chicken fora special Sunday meal or for company. A chicken is economical, small enough in size to be used for an ordinary size family and roasted chicken is good tasting. VERNAS SPECIAL DOUGHNUTS (Glazed) 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 quart scalded milk 7 yeast cakes, 1 cup warm wanter and a tablespoon sugar tears. She has rejoiced when the travelers rejoice and weep with the strangers that moan. Because of her many homemaking talents, Verna Hill has traveled all over Davis County giving demonstrations in handicraft work, table decorations and cooking. She has established a reputation for making outstanding donuts. Mrs. Hill says many years ago a young couple from Kansas was passing through Layton looking for work. They hired out to Leo Hill. The newly-marrie- d girl shared a donut recipe with g Mrs. Hill. Once Verna was giving a demonstration in Kaysville when she commented that the cutter she was using wasnt very good. The women attending the demonstration purchased a heavy, commercial donut cutter as a gift of appreciation for the talents Mrs. Hill was willing to share with them. Verna still uses this prize gift. When Verna makes donuts, she treats the entire family and all her neighbors. Her recipe makes 100 donuts. They taste better when they are fresh.

Last year alone she completed 14 or 15. Most are given away to friends and family members along with hundreds of crocheted, knitted, tatted or hand sewn articles that are custom made to be given away. Dolls, doilies, pillows, bedspreads, rugs, shawls and baby gifts are shared at Christmas time and for special occasions with the hundreds of friends Verna has made in the 63 years she has lived by the side of the road. Age hasnt slowed Verna down. She just recently completed a table display of her handiwork at the Ambassador Club in Salt Lake City. She is active in the Layton Second LDS Ward. She belongs to the Layton Literary Ladies Club, the Hollyhock Camp of the DUP, serving as president and a variety group. Verna travels to visit with her family members on a regular basis.
