Bake Your Own!
Those of you who have chosen
homemaking as a career can set
aside a hall day
for baking your
own goodies right
in your own oven.
There are few
things nicer man
coming into a kitchen full of busy
bustling, testing the cake, plump
ing fat loaves of bread on racks to
cool, or packing cookies in fresh
wax paper for pantry shelves—for
those fine boys in the service!
When sugar rationing first came
into the picture, most of us feared
that it would not allow enough for
home baking needs, but we have
found ways to make sugar stretch.
Or, perhaps we should say. corn
syrups and honey to make baking
possible.
With eggs up in price and fats
becoming scarce, we have changed
our recipes to fill these needs, too!
Today’s recipes may not call for
the quantity of materials that yes
terday’s did. but they can make
just as tempting a product.

Lynn Says:
Tie a String Around Yonr rin
ger: The technique's different
when you do your own vegeta
bles—and you must keep these
pointers on tap if you would get
the most out of them:
Peel potatoes thinly—their min
eral treasures are hidden right
under that skin.
Use green vegetables as soon as
possible after buying. They lose
quantities of their vitamin C just
sitting and being exposed to air.
Add dressing immediately to
vegetables and fruits after cut
ting them. The coating prevents
some vitamin loss.
Put away the soda box when
cooking green vegetables. It's
alkaline and destroys vitamins.
Shell peas or lima beans only
just before using. Wash leafy
greens just before cooking The
percentage of vitamin loss will
be lessened.
Start cooking frozen foods be
fore thawing. It is believed that
less vitamin C is destroyed by
that method.

“Who makes dat motion dat

A huge scar faced Negro arose.
