i he Frontier Woman — 1 oasting Cheese Sandwiches in a Wire Corn Copper Used to Please Pupils By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you nice peo ple! Time to start thinking shout carrots in the cellar and Blanche Spann Pease n e u u s uj cabbage and such stufff, ready for the Winter’s use. We pack carrots in a large stone jar, cutting tops off first o f course. W< don’t put in any sand. Simply 1 a y an old coat «iver the top they Keep crisp that way and we had them for use up until Spring last year. I wrap heads of cabbage in newspapers making sure they are thoroughly dry before wrapping. I lay thorn on the top shelf of the fruit, making sure the cellar is fairly dry They keep pretty well this way we find School lunch ideas are right in line with the time of year. Buy day old bread ; or else chill fresh bread be fore using if tor sandwiches. If you remove the crusts of | bread before making into sand wiches, be sure to keep the crusts for apple betty, bread pudding, dressing and such. Use softened butter or mar garine for spreading sand wiches. Work it with a spoon until it is soft and creamy. The i butter, when spread clear out to the edge, not only makes the sandwiches more palatable but helps to keep filling from soaking into bread. Sometimes one can mix soft butter with fillings of some types and thus save spreading the sandwiches. Remember, sandwiches can be cut in various shapes Diag onally in halves, crosswise in quarters, or wi‘h fancy cutters or you may want to use the biscuit cutter. Save the ends of bread for dressing, etc. Sandwiches may also be cut in quares, strips, fingers and diamonds. Cut them differ ently from time to lime to suit filling and to vary the mon otony of the same old thing in trie school lunch. Sandwich bags can be pur chased at your favorite groc ers, or sandwiches may be wrapped tn waxed paper. Many 1 homemakers have found that1 food saver bags in the smaller sizes are ideal for sending sandwiches in the school lunch. The sandwiches stay very moist and nice. In any case wrap sandwiches individually. That keeps each sandwich moist until ready to eat. Re member, too, that if all then lunch isn’t eaten at noon, lots of small folks will eat what remains on their way home from school. A cranberry-cheese sand wich is different and color ful. Spread six slices of bread wilh Vt cup canned strained cranberry j e 1 1 y. | Spread six more slices wilh one three-ounce package of cream cheese. mashed and | salted. Fit in pairs, a cran berry and cheese together. A cheese-egg filling that is \ a little on the different line is made as follows: Put 4 pound (American Cheddar cheese, four hardcooked eggs, 4 cup sweet mustard pickles, one small on- : ion and a sprig of parsley | through the food chopper. Use the medium blade. Add just a ; speck of cayenne penp Pack tightly into a 54" by 24” by 24” pan and chill. Sliced, this makes a delicious sandwich fil ling, and if your family is small, part may be sent in school lunch and the rest us ed at home on a salad plate. If your children like eggs, here is an egg sandwich ^hich is given a chewy touch by the addition of cel ery or olives. Blend three chopped, hard cooked eggs with one cup minced celery or Va cup minced stutted olives, a pinch ot salt, dash peppcc, and V« cup mayon naise. It makes eight sand wiches. serve some for the home lunch, if not ell are required in the school lunch. I the children like tuna,, then by all means send tuna sandwiches now and then Flake one seven-ounce can of tuna, then add M> teaspoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon catsup, three tablespoons salad \ dressing, and Mi teaspoon Wor- , chestershire sauce. This makes eight sandwiches Of course, you will be want ing to send many forms of meat sandwiches. A pretty good combination is that of four slices crisp bacon, 11 cup minc .ed mustard pickle and one cup canned baked beans. It makes : four large sandwiches. Farm mothers will like to send chicken sandwiches now and then Try using % cup ground cooked chicken, V4 cup | diced celery, one teaspoon minced green pepper, 1/8 tea spoon salt, dash of pepper, one teaspoon lemon juice and about ; 1 Vfc tablespoons mayonnaise. This will make about four sandwitchees. You may want to add a chopped hard boiled egg. Possibly you’ll want to omit the lemon juice, but the basic ingredients make a nice com bination Our pupil* in our school some years ago used lo take plain cheese sandwiches to school and toast them in a wire corn popper ovev the hot coals in the stove. They tasted particularly good that way as you can probably | guess. A sandwich that is sort of •super and also different is made from Va cup minced wal I nuts, Vz cup chopped celery, Va cup mayonnaise. It is enough S to make five to six sandwiches, i There are a number of ways to handle planning school lupches. You can, for instance, prepare soups and desserts for the dinner you are serving the night before and keep part of it refrigerated to send in school lunches but the element of surprise is lost. I used to like to fix lunches in early morn ing ana keep part of the lunch fixed at home for the lunch served for myself and hus band. Soup was one of the staples I planned the lunch i around, because it was sent in j a thermos. To keep sliced meat sand I wiches from seeming dry, blend the butter with mayonnaise or salad dressings, mustard, horse radish, • catsup, chili sauce, bot tled condiment sauces and such. —tfw— Subscription Winner — "IMA WAITING" wins to j day’s three-months’ subscription I to The Frontier. Dear Mrs. Pease: I was a bride in April and moved to a farm south of Ew ing. I’ve been borrowing the hometown paper (The Fron tier) from one of the neigh bors. I really enjoy your col umn and the readers’ letters. After reading your plea in the last two issues, I decided to sit down and write a few lines myself. I really enjoy all the new: recipes and some of the little household hints come in very handy. I hope you add more brain teasers, too, as I like to make a perfect score, although I seldom make it. As it keeps my brain from rusting when I’m not teaching The first day of school was a bit different this year as I was “out of the crowd." We were in a larger city for a wedding that day so I saw a greai many children start ing off early to school to have time for "before class" MONEY TO LOAN 1 ON AUTOMOBILES TRUCKS TRACTORS EQUPIMENT FURNITURE CENTRAL FINANCE CORP.

After "first days" of grade school, high school, college and teaching in 17 years, this really makes a lonesome feeling for a few moments. And mothers, just a little ; hint. The “new teacher’’ wants ! to meet you, so don’t put off i visiting until there’s a special j program or ’till the last week, when it’s too late to be of any help if Johnny or Sue didn’t! do as well as you think they should .have done. I’m sure if1 you talk over problems early in the year, everything will go much smoother. Remember, too, the teacher is just “plain folks” and would enjoy eating supper at your house some evening. It needn’t be a spec ial banquet because then you will be too tired for visiting If she eats her meals in a cafe, just a slice of homemade bread will be as tempting as anything you can offer. I know, ’cause I surely look Sand Hill Sal If Russia wants some lend- j lease she can have both Henry , Wallace and Elliot Roosevelt as I far as Sal is concerned. Deliver me from the chain letters. Not only do they burn me up—but I literally burn them up. Chain letters, and the sort of religious literature that clutters up the mail, goes in the stove at our house Winter came, Spring sprung. Fall has fell and it will soon! be colder than is comfortable. I Heh! Heh! Heh! Hasn’t anyone proposed to Peggy Joyce lately, and don’t tell me Tommy Manville has quit marrying blondes? Only death will stop Torrid Tommy Don’t look now, but if you don’t hurry you won’t be doing your Christmas shopping early! Some folks write about fal ling leaves and some write about sin. Neither ever stops either. The pen may be mightier than the sword but Russia doesn’t seem to be very inter- j ested. ! ed forward to home weekends and mom’s cooking For an easy dessert why not fix apples with a crunchy top ping. Combine a4 cup quick cooking oatmeal, ai cup brown sugar, and Vz cup flour. Cut in Vi cup butter. Sprinkle this mixture over apples, which have been pared and sliced thin into a greased 8-inch round baking dish. Bake in a moder ate oven of 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Served warm with country cream it really hits the spot, with the men of the family, too. Try blending peanut but ter and mayonnaise, spread ing on whole wheat bread ed raw carrots for a hearty and topping with finely grat sandwich in the school lunch. Children also enjoy crunchy celery or carrot sticks, a few raisins dipped in melted sweet chocolate or a dough sand wich for a surprise. Split the doughnut and spread gener ously with apple butter. Hope to see more letters and ideas for work-saving hints, home made gifts (only a hun dred more days until Christ mas) and recipes in the future. Until then, IMA WAITING That was a good letter, Jma We’ll hope to hear from you again. —tfw— , Send Us a Letter — Please folks, we do need let ters for The Frontier Woman We give a three-months’ sub scription for every one we use Send it to Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkin son, Nebraska.
