Show I Recipes and Food Suggestions I g By NELLIE MAXWELL . g Everyone now believes that there is in a man an animating;, ruling characteristic essence, or spirit, which Is himself. This spirit, dull or bright, petty or grand, pure or foul, looks out of the eyes, sounds in the voice, and appears in the manners of each Individual. It is what we call personality. Charles W. Eliot. The following may be found helpful to many young housewives: No woman who -tSL practices trading " r?43l at the fancy gro- -V, cer's or the delica- -Wev lessen can call her-k her-k 1 u self a thrifty house- VjL wite" e llave 100 3s5W; many of these stores supp lying food that should be prepared at home at half the expense. Any woman wom-an with the strength to walk to a store and shop should be ashamed if she be equipped with a stove and kitchen of her own. In the large cities there is a reason for these markets mar-kets and they are of course a great convenience for those able to pay for the delicacies which the stores prepare pre-pare and sell. We had enough instruction in-struction during the late war to use up every bit of food advantageously ; but it is needful that this knowledge be passed along each year to those young housekeepers who still are In need of it. Simple things, nicely served, are most enjoyed. Frills may entertain, but the average person likes good, well-cooked and seasoned food, hot oa hot plates if it should be hot and cold if it should bf cold. Coffee and most fruit stains are removed re-moved by pouring boiling water through the cloth at an elevation to give it force when falling. However, if cream is present, that must be removed re-moved with cold water and soap. With material which cannot be treated treat-ed with boiling water, rub the stain gently with .glycerine, rinse in warm water and press on the wrong side. In making toast remember that quickly made toast browned on tlie outside has driven all the moisture into the center and has made the crumb soft and not good for those who have indigestion. A dry crisp piece of toast is made by first heating the bread very hot in the oven, then toasting quickly. It browns more evenly and is much more digestible. Egg Milk Shake. Beat three eggs very light, add four tablespoonfuls of sugar, a few grains of nutmeg and cinnamon, three cupfuls of milk, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat well and serve cold. Cream of Celery Soup. Use the outside out-side stalks for making soup; they have the flavor and the tender inner stalks may be reserved for the table. Wash and cut the stalks Into pieces, allow one cupful of celery to two cupfuls cup-fuls of water. Cook until the celery is soft. Add salt to taste just before the celery is done. Strain and add two cupfuls of thin cream, thickening or binding the" soup with a tablespoon-ful tablespoon-ful each of butter and flour cooked together; cook until smooth, serve hot. An egg well beaten adds richness and makes a most tasty soup. Bran Bread. Mix the following Ingredients In-gredients : One and one-half cupfuls of dark sirup, one teaspoonful of soda, one and one-fourth cupfuls of sour milk, one and one-half cupfuls of bran, one-half cupful of seeded raisins, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Bake In a well-greased baking pan for an hour. Put into a moderate oven and increase the heat until well baked. ((c), 1931. Western Newspaper Union.) |
