Dear Blanche: Well, I have tomatoes to can and my ironing to do, but while the children aie outside and all is quiet will try and drop you a line or two. Boo! It is cold this morn ing, but one day we are cook ed on one side from a hot south wind, the next day we are frozen on the other side with a cold north wind. But me being Holt county home grown I am content to be as is. So should not complain. Surely hope I can wind up this canning pretty soon. Would still like to get some apples. 1 mixed some apples and wild plums together for butter that we like pretty good. I burned it on the bot tom of my kettle pretty bad, but found out that Clorox took it right off. I made me a mattress cov er out of white hybrid seed eorn sacks. It took me quite a while as I flat-seamed it all but now that it is done, it is a good strong one. I put those dot snappers on the one end so it could be taken off easily to wash. * t I have a dessert recipe I am going to send along in case some one would like it. We cei tainly do. »R^HMALLOW DES SERT: Three - fourths cup milk, 1 pint cream, 1 cup null, 10 crushed graham crackers, 1 pound marshmal lows, 1 small can crushed pineapple (well drained). . ana marshmallows in double boiler, heat •nuq , remove from fire and beat with spoon. Cool. Whip cream, add pineapple then add fo marshmallow mixture. Pul Vi crackers and Vt nuts into bottom of pan, pour in the mixture. add otner half crack er- .nd nuts to lop of mix u e. Let stand at least 2 . r t hours before serving. Will serve 12. Well, as it Is nearing dinner time and as dinne. must go to 1h leld today. I guess I had » TNr; THE HINT PARADE—If you hare some of mo e acorn squash try p’ii i~g sausages in their centers when baking. Or fir * d-^sh of honey, or sprnk’e well wi*h hu»ter and brown sugar. You'll like the added flavor. » • * ■Remember that there is a high protein content in navy h ms and try serving navy beans or lima beans more of ten. Buy them in dry form and cook them with a little meat so that you’ll have some meat. It will cut down on your meat bill considerably. For instance: Bean soup made with a little bacon is very good. Or you can cook beans with short ribs of beef and they’re very good. I partic ularly like to cook these dish o- in mv p essure cooker but they need not be cooked in a pressure cooker. Would you like a recipe? c H^RT RIBS WITH BFANS: 3 pounds beef short rihci 1 round navy beans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 anrj pepper, water. Soak beans in water over night. Dram and put in cov kettle. Add brown sugar, salt and pepper and sliced on ion. Cover with water and simmer 2 hours. Brown short ribs. Place beans in open pan and put brisket on top. Cook .n '^o v r.vr>n until tender and meat is done, about an hour. Add mo e water when necessary. This will serve about eight. So vou can cut the recipe in half for smaller families. The above is a basic recipe whicn you mav change to suit your tastes. I cut it in half, omit the onion, as I just don t care for onion in soup, and cook 2 cups navy beans with about 1 pound of beef ribs to make a soup wnkh is really very good when properly sea soned. * * * BEAN SOUP WITH BACON —For the bean soup, I use 2 cups navy beans. Soak over night if you want to shorten the time. Use the water in wmcn L.,ms were soaked, add enough more to make 3 quui w. A tablespoon of salt, pepper to season and a tiny clove of garlic. (Garlic may be omitted if you wish.) Use a slice of bacon for each mem ber of the family, rinds may be used and a cheap cut of bacon is fine — fat bacon or I a i , 1 small smoked ham butt may be used if you wish. Cook until beans are tender if you don’t use pressure cooker, if you do, cook at 15 pounds pressure lor 20 minutes.
