The Frontier Woman —
Doesn’t Take Big Words and Fancy Phrases
to Make Letter Welcome at Mailbox
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you energetic
people! What’s for dinner to
day? A .,
Many meats and vegetables
have extra appetite appeal when
Blanch* Spann
P*as*
they are serv
ed in a pie.
Beef, veal, or
lamb combin
ed with pota
tatoes, onions,
carrots and
peas make
goo<’ pie fill
ings for the
every d a y
menu. Chick
en or turkey
pie is always
a Sunday or
special occa
sion favorite. Any of these main
dish pies may be made with
either enriched biscuit or flakey
pastry, and either way they
provide the important protein,
B-vitamins and iron of enriched
flour.
Since meat and vegetables j
are included in the pie, salad,
beverage and dessert complete
the menu nicely. Extra biscuits
may be baked to serve as bread,
or brown ’n’ serve rolls can be
freshly browned during the last
8 or 10 minutes the meat pie
bakes.
Lamb stew becomes a glamor
ous Scotch pie when it is serv
ed in pastry-lined individual
bakers. The pastry cover seals
neatly to the lining if the edges
are moistened lightly with wa
ter. The individual pies arrive
on the table temptingly hot and
satisfying, a nourishing choice
for any fall or winter menu.
SCOTCH PIE
Pastry: 2 cups sifted enriched
flour, 1 teaspoon salt, Vi oup
shortening, 4 to 6 tablespoons
cold water. Sift together flour
and salt. Cut or rub in shorten
ing. Add water. Mix to a dry,
crumbly dough. Turn out on
lightly floured board. Press
dough together. Roll about V4
inch thick. Line 4 individual 4
inch bakers with pastry. Fill
with meat and vegetables. Top
with pastry. Bake in moderate
oven (350 degrees F.) 1 hour.
Serve immediately.
Filling: 1 pound lamb for
stew, cut into Vi inch cubes, 1
medium potato, sliced (% cup),
8 small carrots, sliced (1 Vi cups),
2 teaspoons salt, 1 medium on
ion (chopped), 1 large stalk cel
ery (Vi cup), dash pepper, 1 ta
blespoon minced parsley.
Brown lamb in fat or drip
pings. Combine all ingredients
ana fill each pastry-lined cas
serole. Top with pastry. Seal
edges and prick top with fork.
Bake in moderate oven (350 de
grees F.) 1 hour.

Dear Blanche:
With today’s issue of The
Frontier and your appeal for
more letters 1 decided I
could no longer turn a deaf ear
and made up my mind to write
to you. I have been using the
excuse of being too busy, but
since 1 do occasionally sit down
1 and relax awhile, I thought that
would be a good time to catch
up §ome correspondence — why
not use the head and hand while
resting the feet!
Everyone enjoys receiving
and reading letters but I’m a
fraid there are few who really
enjoy writing them.
Too many people think they
need special talent to be able
to write an interesting letter,
but it doesn't take big words
and fancy phrases to make a
letter most welcome when it
arrives at the mailbox of a
friend or relative far away.
We are just beginning to en
joy out first spring fries—later
than most folks. Maybe we en
joy them even more because
we’ve had to wait so long.
Fried chicken is something I
don’t tire of easily. Then about
now there are so many good
things from the garden/it makes
it hard to decide just what to
prepare from the meal at hand.
I made fresh chokecherry jel
ly today. It is our favorite kind
of jelly and as I sampled it, I
couldn’t help feeling sorry for
all the folks around who don’t
have those little gems to make
jelly from.
It always gives me such a
feeling of satisfaction to see the
filled jars lining the basement
shelves and when next winter’s
snows get deep, I know those
filled jars will look even better,
and their contents taste almost
as delicious as the fresh pro
ducts now.
Children’s sayings always a
muse me. I often wish I had
kept a record of some of the
sayings of our children. After
all our memories do dim and
we only remember a fraction of
what we would like to.
My little boy was busy mak
ing mud pies and such when
his daddy appeared in view. As
he ran to show off his culinary
efforts, he stubbed his toe and
fell.
Asked his daddy, “What was
that you just made?”
Answered sonny, quick as a
wink, "I guess that was a cinna
mon roll.”
Someone once said, “There
are only 2 kinds of people in
ihe world, those with children
and those without.” Which is
probably more truth than fic
tion, but what amazed me, is
the fact that those without al
ways know (?) more about rais
ing them than those who are
the parents. Can anyone explain
that? I’m sure you’ll agree that
it’s so.
I’m afraid my letter is getting
too long, so will close with a re
cipe:
PINEAPPLE PEAR
PRESERVES
Eighteen pears, 18 oranges, 1
No. 2Vi can crushed pineapple,
1 cup maraschino cherries, 10
cups sugar. Peel pears and or
anges. Put these and the cher
ries through food grinder using
the coarse knife. Mix all ingre
dients with the sugar and let
stand overnight. Next morning
cook slowly until thick and
clear. (This will take about l¥i
hours.) Stir often. Seal while
hot in sterilized jars.
With every good wish for the
continued success of The Fron
tier Woman, I remain,
