Here is a similar recipe for people: CHEESE SNACKS. Cream together: One stick softened soft-ened margarine and two cups shredded cheese. Add two cups flour mixed with 12 teaspoon salt and one to two teaspoons sugar. You may need to add a little water to make the dough easier to handle. Shape into small balls, which should be flattened after placing them on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Variation: Varia-tion: Roll and cut the dough as for rolled cookies. Place a spot of jelly on each circle, then fold over and seal the edges. Bake as above. Carla Sharp, Richfield, Utah. Note: For those of you who may have missed it, I'm repeating the economical doggie biscuit recipe Carla mentioned. Mix two cups unsifted flour with 1-12 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or any scraps of cheese you may have) two cloves garlic, finely chopped, and 12 cup vegetable oil or bacon grease. Blend, then add 4 or 5 tablespoons ta-blespoons water. Mix until dough forms a ball. Divide into 12 equal portions. Shape into "bones" 12 inch thick. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 400 degrees. Carefully transfer "bones" to a wire rack to cool. Refrigerate Re-frigerate in an airtight container. Dear Readers: We just read something we want to try this fall. Dig carrots, hose off the loose dirt and (so that they won't sprout, I suppose) cut off at least a half inch of the stem end. Place a layer of small stones on the bottom bot-tom of a glass crock or jar, add a pint of cold water, place the carrots car-rots inside and put on the lid. Store in a cool basement and they will last through the winter. I hope this works. Leaving carrots in the ground, blanketed with straw also keeps them, we've heard, but it seems to me having them packed away in glass jars would be much more convenient Dear Vi: We want to thank you especially for a couple of "saving'' ideas from your column that we've used a lot. First, we save quite a bit now that we've learned from you not to buy the more expensive individual cans of soft drinks in order to have a variety on hand, but rather to buy the more economical liter size and save what's not used right away. It's so easy to just squeeze the plastic bottle until all the air is out and the liquid is at the top then put on the cap and refrigerate. refrig-erate. We've done this many times and find that none of the carbona- tion is lost this way regardless of how long you wait to reopen the bottle. The other idea we want to especially espe-cially thank you for is the economical econom-ical way to provide ice cream flavor fla-vor choices for family or guests by mixing softened plain vanilla ice cream with different fruit juices such as orange, pineapple, grape, strawberry, and raspberry, "the re-, re-, suiting flavors are just as colorful as they are delicious and it's so convenient (spacewise) to have only one carton of ice cream in the freezer instead of several in order to please family members and guests. The F. Thomases, Idaho Falls. Dear Vi: Here is yet another way to remove baked-on stains from baking dishes. Spray with oven cleaner, wait a few minutes, then wash in suds or in the dishwasher. dish-washer. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Oven cleaner burns the skin. Mable Zabriski, Redlands, Calif.
