Suppers Possible With Little Meat
(See Recipes Below)
Easy on Meat
Well, what are we going to do
•bout the meat situation? Drastic
regulations now in effect will make
every homemaker think twice be
fore she buys a cut of meat.
Meat supplies are low, point val
ues high, and still we like meat
dishes at least
once a day. With
clever and effec
tive use of meat,
it is possible to
use little meat
and to simulate
meat flavor. Beef
cuts are fairly
high in point val
ue, but we can use liver. We’ll make
use of pork, veal, lamb and chicken,
too, for they help us to take it
easy on meat points.
Proteins are an important body
building food, and meats should not
be cut out of the diet. Use these
recipes to help you on those low
point weeks:
Spanish Rice With Meat Balls.
(Serves 6)
% pound ground beef
% pound ground pork
1 chopped onion
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
% cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup rice
2 cups tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
Combine meat, onion, mustard,
■alt and water. Roll into balls.
Place in skillet or baking pan. Pour
tomatoes, tomato soup and salt over
top. Sprinkle dry uncooked rice on
top of tomatoes and season with salt
and pepper. Cover and cook over
low heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Macaroni and Frankfurters.
(Serves 6)
1 (8 ounce) package macaroni
2 tablespoons butter or substitute
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs, beaten
1% cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
% cup grated American cheese
% teaspoon black pepper
% pound frankfurters
Place macaroni in saucepot and
add 3 quarts boiling water and 1
teaspoon salt.
Boil rapidly about
15 minutes, or un
til macaroni is
tender. Do not
cover utensil
while boiling.
Drain in a col
ander and let cold water run over
macaroni. Melt butter or substitute
in pan, then add flour and blend well.
Add milk and cook until thick. Add
eggs, seasoning and cheese. Pour in

Lynn Says
Variety from roasts: When you
do splurge on meat and buy a
roast, make sure you use every
scrap of meat before you write
finis to the roast.
After it is served the first time,
have it cold, sliced. This is espe
cially good when served with sal
ads and relishes.
Ground pieces of roast may be
served in recipes which call for
ground meat. The made-over
taste can be disguised by using
tomatoes, catsup, chili sauce and
other condiments.
When the meat is almost used,
it can be used to give meaty fla
vor to rice, noodles, spaghetti or
vegetable casserole.
If the bone of the roast has
meat left on it, it can be made
into delicious soups with plenty of
vegetables. If the meat flavor is
a bit thin, add one of the meat
concentrates to enrich it.
When you tire of meat reheated
and served as leftover, try cutting
it into bits and using for flavor to
salad. Fish and fowl may be
used like this, too. They can also
be combined and used as sand
wich fillings.

Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving
Menu
•Braised Pork Liver and
Vegetables
Raisin Bread Jam
Grated Carrot-Apple Salad
Caramel Custard
Beverage ‘Recipe given.
Pork liver is the most nutritious
of all livers and the least expensive,
too. It has a slightly stronger fla
vor than beef or veal liver but this
can be disguised if it is used with
vegetables and seasonings:
•Braised Pork Liver and Vegetables.
(Serves 6)
1 pound pork liver, cut in %-inch
slices
2 tablespoons flour
% teaspoon salt
% teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons fat
2 carrots, diced
.4 potatoes, sliced
1 onion, diced
1 cup boiling water
1 cup tomato juice
Dip liver in seasoned flour. Brown
in hot fat. Add vegetables and
liquid. Cover and simmer lVfe hours
until tender.
As point values remain rigid, we
will turn more and more to chicken
and other fowl.
This is a good
way to fix up the
leftover chicken
from Sunday’s
roast. The chick
en may be peeled
from the bones and diced.
Chicken Rice Casserole.
(Serves 6)
1 cup rice, steamed
2 cups cooked chicken
teaspoon salt
y* teaspoon celery salt
teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped onions
2 tablespoons cracker crumbs
1 egg
1 cup hot water or stock
Steam rice. Chop chicken very
fine, then add seasonings. Fold in
beaten egg, crumbs, stock or hot
water enough to moisten. Line bot
tom or sides of greased mold with
cooked rice, one inch thick, pack in
the chicken mixture, cover closely
with rice, and then place greased
paper over top. Steam 45 minutes.
Turn out on hot platter, garnish
with parsley and serve with tomato
sauce or cream of mushroom soup.
There's another possibility, and an
important one, which we still have
not considered to take the place
of meat. Naturally, this is fish. It
will meet the protein standards
which we must have to maintain
health, and will add variety to the
menu:
Fish a la Tartare.
(Serves 6)
1 Vi pounds pike or trout
2 hard-cooked eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salad oil
% cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon catsup
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup strained fish liquid
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon each pickles and onion,
chopped
Boil and bone the fish, leaving it
whole or cut in portions, as desired.
Rub the yolks smooth with mustard
and oil, then add remaining ingredi
ents, including whites of eggs which
have been chopped fine. Season with
salt and pepper to taste.
Boiling Fish.
Clean fish and let stand in salt
for several hours. Let 1 quart wa
ter come to a boil with 2 tablespoons
vinegar, y* teaspoon black pepper,
and 1 onion. Add the fish slowly
and let simmer gently until the flesh
is tender.

i▼ 1 the delightful new
Judy Garland - Margaret
O’Brien picture, has special
| interest for a lot of New York
ers and Hollvwoodites who’ve
known Sally Benson, author
of the stories on which the
picture is based. Her late sister,
Agnes Smith, wrote brilliantly
about the movies, but Agnes and
sister Sally were really at their best
when telling tales about their child
hood. The picture is just those sto
ries come alive, which may be the
reason that Judy Garland could
give such a superb performance—
the picture isn’t just something
cooked up by a studio's scenario
department; it’s a slice of real life.

A British-French sports syndicate
offered Sonja Henie an even million
dollars to do 25 performances with
her current ice show, in London and
Paris, after the war. Sonja turned
the offer down—and why not, when

she’s breaking attendance and mon

she’ll draw a house of more than a

It’s just the way things happen In
Hollywood, of course. A year ago
Noel Niell got a Paramount con
tract because she had the loveliest
auburn hair in town. So—recently
she had to cut off 10 inches of that
same red hair, to get a role in
“Here Come the WAVES.”
If it means anything to you —
Warner Bros, announce that they’re
launching one of those country-wide
searches for beautiful girls—12 of
them, this time—who will be given
prominent roles in a forthcoming
musical, “When Old New York Was
Young.”

summer and early months of 1945
will see the end of all major cam
paigning in Europe, but _ guerrilla
warfare will persist in Germany.”
Robert St. John — "By Septem

fact.” Max Hill—“1945 should see
the end of the war in Europe.”
W. W. Chaplin — “Germany will be
officially defeated by June 7.”
James Stevenson — “The German
army will collapse on the western
front in early summer.” What’s
