Chicken and Rice—Fine Favorite for Easter (See Recipes Below) Easter Essentials How differently you will plan your Easter dinner this year! You may have to forget many of the tradi tional foods and use only what your ration points will allow you—or what you can obtain at the grocer's. Many of you in former times had baked ham or leg of lamb, but per haps this year it may be chicken, or whatever ra tion points will allow. So, get out your ration points and put on your thinking caps, la dies, and see what we can have to make this dinner a success. Markets throughout the country will have different meats available for your selection. A lot will depend upon how well you have saved your points to splurge on this occasion. If you plan chicken, stretch it with rice as we do in this recipe: •Fricassee of Chicken. (Serves 6 to 8) 4-pound chicken % cup flour 3 tablespoons chicken fat 2 teaspoons salt Paprika 3'a cups boiling water Freshly boiled rice Clean chicken and cut into serving portions. Dredge with flour and brown in fat. Add seasonings and boiling water to half cover. Sim mer, closely covered, until tender, about lbb to 3 hours. If desired, place in oven to brown slightly after tender, and serve with boiled rice. Some of you will perhaps be fortunate enough to obtain lamb. If you cannot obtain a leg of lamb, a shoulder cut will be nice to serve with this barbe- - cue sauce: Lamb Shoulder, Barbecued. 4 pounds shoulder of Iamb 1 medium onion XA cup chili sauce 1 teaspoon salt % teaspoon pepper Dash of cayenne 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 cup water Mix onion, chili sauce, seasonings with vinegar and water. Pour over lamb which has been wiped with a damp cloth and place in pan with tightly fitting cover. Cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 3l/4 hours. *Orange and Greens Salad. • (Serves 8) 4 cups coarsely shredded greens (lettuce, endive, watercress) % cup sliced, stuffed green olives XA cup diced orange sections A cup chopped green pepper % cup salad oil 4 tablespoons lemon juice 54 teaspoon salt 54 teaspoon celery seed A teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Combine salad greens with or anges, olives, green pepper Mix salad oil, lemon juice and season ings. Just before serving toss light ly together, mixing well together. Lynn Says: How to Save Ration Points: If your old recipes call for tomato juice, tomato soup and other canned tomatoes, substitute brown gravy. In most cases, it will work quite well. Substitute fresh fruits for canned and dried fruits in des serts and buy heavily of citrus fruits. Serve them sectioned or sliced. Use seasonal fruits gen erously, as applesauce and rhu barb. Store any excess water from cooked vegetables, and have it well covered when stored. Use in soups, gravies and stews. When cookie recipes call for dried fruits, omit them or use them sparingly. Omit chili sauce, catsup and chow chow from menus. Use them for seasoning foods such as meat when cooking or for sand wiches when necessary. i Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus Fresh Grapefruit Juice •Fricassee of Chicken With Rice Cauliflower, Fresh Broccoli Platter Garnished With Lemon Wedges •Orange and Greens Salad •Cornbread •Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake •Recipes Given •Corn Bread. 2 cups yellow corn meal 2 cups sweet milk 4 teaspoons baking powder 3 tablespoons bacon drippings or shortening 1 tablespoon sugar VA teaspoons salt 1 egg Mix dry ingredients together.

An upside-down cake would make a lovely closing to an Easter dinner. What to make it with? There are several items, first of which is rhubarb — fresh and strawberry colored. You could use apples, if you like, or fruit cock* tail which does not take as many points as other canned fruits. * Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake. (Serves 8) 4 cups cut rhubarb 1 cup sugar 1% cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder % teaspoon salt 14 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 14 teaspoon almond extract 14 teaspoon vanilla extract 14 cup milk Cook rhubarb over low heat until juice begins to run.

In many of your gardens daffodils or jonquils and tulips will be out—ready and waiting to do their nicest for your Easter dinner. An effective centerpiece can be made from as few as a half dozen daffodils with their own green fo liage in a shallow bowl Have ta ble accessories harmonize with this color scheme by using a pale yellow or white cloth with napkins. If your taste—or your garden runs to tulips, try deep red tulips with white snapdragons. l.ynn Chambers welcomes you to submit your household queries to her problem clinic.
