The Frontier Woman —
Long Distances to School for Rural
Children Pet Peeve of A Weekly Reader’
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, you busy women.
Meals that can be prepared
in 30 minutes or less always
have priority in summer menu
planning. Homemakers, too,
like to have time to enjoy sum
mer activities as well as
as much attention as possible
to flower and vegetable gar
^The macaroni family meets
this requirement as it also gives
a boost to the
vacation bud
get. In addi
tion these
bland wheat
foods are such
a versati1e
clan, that they
help you toa
make use of |
any bits of;
fresh veget-1
ables from the!
s1.;:
P«a>« enough to go
around if served alone. You can
feature macaroni foods in the
menu 2 or 3 times a week and ,
always have them appear in j
completely new costumes.
Even though you serve hur
ry-up meals in the summer
time. it always pays off in
smiles and increased appetites
when you take the time to
add colorful garnishes to
dishes.
In addition to our favorite
stand-by, parsley, this garnish
might be crisp green pepper
rings, thin slices of rosy radish- j
es, tomato quarters, sliced hard !
cooked eggs and many others.
Use crisp fresh linens on the 1
table and bright flowers for a j
centerpiece. You may be sur-1
prised how such things perk up
lagging summer appetites.
When it’s seafood time at
your house, put tiny shrimp in- j
to a tangy sauce seasoned with
tabasco and lemon juice and
serve it in little individual nests
of egg noodles. Cook the noo
dles while the sauce cooks and
this dish can be ready to eat in
less than 10 minutes. Serve it j
with a grapefruit and avacado
salad, French - fried okra and j
enriched toasted buns.
NOODLE NEST WITH
CREAMED SHRIMP
Oue - fourth cup butter or
margarine, V\ cup enriched
flour, 1 teaspoon salt, tea
spoon pepper, 5 drops Tabasco j
sauce, 2 cups milk, 3 table
spoons lemon juice, cup may
onnaise or salad dressing, lt4
cups cooked shrimp, 1 cup cook
ed peas, 6 ounces fine noodles.
Melt butter or margarine in
top of double boiler. Stir in
flour, 6alt, pepper, and tabasco
sauce. Gradually add milk and
continue stirring until sauce is
thickened. Fold in lemon juice
j and mayonnaise or salad dress
ing. Add shrimp and peas. Heat
thoroughly. While sauce is heat
ing, cook noodles in boiling salt
ed water until tender (about 4
minutes). Drain and rinse. Ar
range as individual nests on
serving plates. Fill nests with
creamed shrimp. Makes 4 serv
ings.

Dear Blanche:
I see by the paper you are
still asking for more letters so
will take time this morning and
write one. I so enjoy all the
good helpful advice and recipes
which are sent in and get a
kick out of trying them to see
what kind of luck 1 have.
As this is rhubarb time will
send a recipe for:
RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN j
CAKE
Take a granite cake pan 8 x
10 and cover the bottom with
rhubarb and 1 cup sugar, 1 ta- ,
blespoon butter. Cut the rhu
barb in small pieces. Now make
a dough of 2 cups sifted flour,
2 teaspoons baking powder, %
teaspoon salt, 1 cup plus 2 ta
blespoons sugar, 1/3 cup butter
or other shortening, % cup
milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 egg.
Mix all together. Pour the
dough over the rhubarb in the
pan and bake until cake is
done.
Here are a few helpful hints:
To remove dark stains on alumi
num ware, use 2 teaspoons
cream of tartar in a quart of
water, and slowly bring to a
boil and simmer about 20 min
utes. To clean copper or metal
surfaces use salt and lemon or
vinegar.
Well, I better ring off and
get this in the mail today.

Sends Raisin Recipes—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I better write a few lines as
I enjoy the letters and recipes
in the paper, but have not done
my share.
My pet peeve is children in
rural districts having to go so
far to school. I think there
should be some way worked
out so it isn’t such a problem to
get these children to school.
I am enclosing some recipes.
SOUR CREAM RAISIN PIE
One-half cup sugar, 2 eggs,
beaten, 1 tablespoon lemon
juice. Beat the above ingredi
ents till creamy, then add 1 ta
blespoon flour, yi cup chopped
raisins, 1 cup sour cream, beat
well and pour into unbaked pie
crust and bake.
BOILED RAISIN CAKE
One cup lard, lVfe cups sugar,
3 eggs. Cool raisins after boil
ing. You need 2 cups boiled
raisins, I cup raisin juice, and 1
teaspoon each of cinnamon,
cloves and allspice. Sift with
the spices, 2*6 cups flour, and
1 teaspoon soda. Add nuts if
desired. Use 1 teaspoon lemon
flavor. Mix cake in the usual
manner and bake in 375 F. ov
en until done.
