?9 Dull casseroles need creative additions
KiSI . . . . ..... , J:,...,., . . .
By Lynn Roberts
If the thought of a hot casserole leaves you cold,
you're not being creative enough.
Whether you're fixing a casserole to save time or
money, don't save on the extras that can turn a dull dish
into a good one.
Most casseroles consist of something starchy and
tilling, some meat and a sauce to hold the whole thing
together. Use leftovers or start from scratch, but try
adding extras for variety.

can, at the very least, be made a little more
appetizing by a few additions. .
For color add frozen peas, and for texture try stirring
in some chow-mein noodles and sprinkling some on top
teMos?any casserole's flavor can be improved by cheese,
whether you put in in the casserole or melt it on top.
If you use cheddar it also can add some badly needed
color.

A hissing possessive case
calls for 's to be omitted
By Theodore M. Bernstein
No hissing, please. The possessive case of most nouns
is formed, of course, by adding an apostrophe and an s;
Father's, Pennsylvania's, etc. However, exceptions occur
when the noun ends in s or the sound of s and is followed
by a word that begins with an s sound. Take a look at this
passage from a review by Robert Brustein of Yale of a
book by John Simon: . .the critical Jphn Simon is com
posed of divided personae. . ., which, for convenience
sake, well call the good, the bad and the ugly." Normal
ly, convenience in the possessive case would be conven
ience's, but when it is followed by sake, the succession of
three s sounds would be difficult to pronounce. In such
situations, therefore, the s is omitted, but the apostrophe,
is retained to indicate the possessive case. It should be
"for convenience' sake."
Retort' - Apparently there are more Miss Thistlebot
toms teaching in schools than we thought. In a letter we
wrote to Dr. Manly B. Donaldson of Clayton, N.M., we
asked forgiveness for delay in replying to a letter of his. In
a pleasant second letter he said we must have skipped
school the day Miss Prim (that's an alias for Thistlebot
tom) taught about the difference between answer and
reply; you answer a letter, said he, and you reply to a
charge. Those definitions are far too confining. The Am
erican Heritage Dictionary, in its discussion of four syno
nyms, says that "answer, the most general, refers to any
act that completes a process initiated by another" and
that reply "means to answer in speech or writing to a
direct question." We did indeed reply to Dr. Donaldson's
letter.
