Teakettle, 35-Years-Old, Rides Redhot
Plate 2 Hours and Withstands Ordeal
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice people!
The time of year is rolling
around when green salads are
particularly tasty. There are
- so many crisp
ingredients for
green salads,
crisp lettuce,
sprigs of mint,
curls of chic
ory, cool wat
ercress, e n -
dive, escarole,
| romaine, cab
bage, young
dand e 1 i o n
L greens, tender
Blanch* Spann insj.de leave»
p o f spinach
^ un cooked, tiny
celery leaves, young beet tops,
that you need not lack for vari
ety in green salads.
Select the green salad greens
with care, treat them with wis
dom and use them with imagi
nation! They’ll stay beautifully
fresh for several days if wrap
ped in a damp cloth, wax paper
or placed in a paper bag and
put in a cool place, but not di
rectly on or too close to the ice
in the refrigerator. If your re
frigerator is automatic, sprinkle
the greens with water and place
them in a hydrator or in a
closely covered container. To
crisp them quickly, just place
them in a bowl of ice cold wa
ter. Always wait until just be
fore serving to add the salad
dressing, greens wilt quickly un
der oil.
To make lettuce cups, cut out
the core (stem) of the lettuce
head with a pointed knife and
allow cold water to run into the
opening. The water will force
the leaves apart and cleanse
them. Shake the water from the
leaves, drain well or dry care
fully by shaking lightly in a
clean cloth or towel.
Use the large leaves for the
base of the cup and fill in
with the smaller ones. Use
small inside leaves to hold
garnish salads. When the let
tuce cup will not balance
properly on the plate by it
self, do not break the rib in
the leaf, just place a few
pieces of lettuce or other
greeas back of it for support.
For watercress: Keep the
stem ends together in a bundle
and wash them in a bunch un
der cold running water—they
are, easier to handle this way.
Keep each leaf intact and un
bruised. Dry carefully so that
the water won’t dilute your sal
ad dressing.

Dear Blanche:
I am still using my cast alum
inum teakettle that is 35 years
told as of March 1. It has been
1 in constant use all these years,
I and, although it is not as bright
1 and shiny as it once was, it
serves its purpose well.
Listen to my latest boner in
' regard to ye old teakettle. In
! my haste to make the first
showing of a Walt Disney pic
ture last summer, I left that tea
kettle on the electric plate. It
contained only a small amount
of water left over after some
was used to wash the dirty
hands and face of a young boy.
I was gone at least 2 hours. I
sensed the situation the minute
1 opened the door. The electric
plate was red hot and my tea
kettle as dry and smelly as
could be imagined. No, I didn’t
put water in it that night, but
I didn’’t expect it would ever
hold water again.
However, it didn’t seem to be
the worse for the extreme treat
ment. It is still doing service.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
I read in the paper that you
needed letters so thought I’d
write instead of just reading
as so many of us do. Food is
about the most important thing,
I guess, if we are going to con
tinue having winter weather.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Here are a few salad recipes
for cole slaw:
LEMON COLE SLAW
Six cups shredded cabbage, 2
small lemons, rind included,
shredded. Mix and chill well.
Just before serving add one
half teaspoon salt and one
fourth cup sugar.
CREAM COLE SLAW
One small head of cabbage,
shredded. Add dressing which
has been previously mixed and
chilled. One and one-half table
spoons sugar, 3 tablespoons
lemon, 6 tablespoons cream,
one-half teaspoon salt. Serve
immediately.
TOSSED CABBAGE SALAD
Two cups shredded cabbage,
one-half cup each shredded car
rots and celery. 1 tablespoon
minced onions, one-half cup
cooked green beans, 1 teaspoon
salt, chill well, serve with
French dressing.
Wax can be useful in many
ways. Waxing the dust pan
makes dust slide off easily. Rub
bed on the tops and bottoms of
drawers prevents sticking. Wax
ing the outside of your wash
ing machine makes it much
easier to clean. After the paint
on a porch is thoroughly dry,
give it a coat of paste wax. It
not only preserves the paint but
also makes it easier to clean.
