The Frontier Woman — Atkinson Woman’s Dislikes Include Western Movies and ‘Good Night Irene’ By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you fascinating people! Have you gotten papa to put the storm windows up yet’ Try asking him to do so you’ve fed hi a good maybe that will do the trick. Raisins are a good way to add nourishing food interest to your meals. Have you tried adding rai sins to your muffin batter Blanch* Spann some times? Re- Peaie cently I ate some oatmeal muffins with rai sins in them. They were licking good? You can try them in the drop cookie batter, too, or use them to decorate plain rolled cookies. Some chill November morning when there’s a bite to the air and everyone is hungry, serve golden griddle cakes, and, as a side, try fried apples. Thinly slice the ap ples and fry them in bacon grease or sausage drippings. Cook them until they're soft but not mushy, Or you can make an apple syrup to top the griddle cakes. To make this, bring a cup of brown sugar, *4 cup top milk, 2 tablespoons white corn syrup, and 3 table spoons butter or margarine to a boil. Add 3« cup finely chopped apples and cook for about 3 min utes. Then you can pour this lib erally over each pancake for a really special treat! Want to add a touch of glam our to stewed chicken? Or want to use some leftover bird from Sunday dinner? Fold the chick en or turkey into a cream sauce along with carrots, peas and mushrooms. Then make a drop biscuit batter and drop on the stewed chicken or the leftover chicke nand steam done. This is the time of year when you’ll be serving quite a lot of poultry with stuffing. It makes the bird taste better and at the same time stretches it so that it will go farther. This stuffing is lust real good. BREAD STUFFING To make the stuffing, mix to gether 4 cups toasted enriched bread cubes, Va teaspoon pepper, *-2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 2 tablespoons melted fat, 2 tea spoons salt, 1 slightly beaten egg, ',4 teaspoon minced onion and 1/3 :up boiling water. Blend thor aughly. If a dry crumbly dress ng is desired, water may be omit ted. When making a moist dress ng add 2 teaspoons baking pow ler to prevent sogginess. This is the season when apple sauce cake is pretty special. Mere s a new recipe which you may want to try. Use a maple flavored Frosting with it and the family will oh and ah. APPLE SAUCE CAKE One and three-fourth cups sift sd flour, 1 teaspoon baking pow ler, teaspoon soda, Vz teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, Mi teaspoon cloves, Mi cup shorten ing, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup un sweetened apple sauce, 1 cup rai sins or currants, 1 cup chopped nuts. Sift together flour, baking pow der, soda, salt and spices. Cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, mixing well. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, alternately with apple sauce. Add raisins and nuts. Bake in greased pan 8 by 8 inches, in moderate oven 350 F. 45 to 50 minutes. Makes 1 square cake. —tfw— Subscription Winners— Mrs. Jim Ziska, of Atkinson, leads off with an excellent let ter this week and our second subscription winner is Mrs. W. 3., of O’Neill. Dear Blanche: How many times at gatherings jnd club Meetings do people’s likes and dislikes become the topic of conversations? The jobs we hate to do the worst, favorite Foods, radio programs, books, mu sic and such can all turn into luite a round of conversation. I’m always interested in what the other person likes or dislikes. Here are a few' of mine—are any of these yours, too? I'd really be happy to know I never had to churn another batch of butler or iron another basket of clothes. These two jobs I really dislike. I like to bake a big batch of brow'n, crusty loaves of bread. I’d rather bake cakes and cookies than pie, but I’d rather eat pie. 1 don’t mind doing the dishes or separator. Patching overalls and mending hose aren’t bad eith er if 1 don’t let the pile get too big._ __ ; I’m not fussy about food, I was taught to eat whatever was set before me (how many times I’ve j been thankful for that teaching when I see finicky eaters), but I’d just as soon not eat egg plant and I’m not fond of pork. I like musie, most any kind just so it’s good music, but the playing | over and over of popular pieces ! irks me no end. if I never hear, “Good Night, Irene,” again it’s o kay with me. 1 don't like the expression, “You can’t phase this or that” and an other one that doesn’t sound good to me is “chewing the fat." I like most picture shows but not westerns. I don’t like to hear ihe sound oi some woman’s hys terical weeping either on fhe ra dio or in a show. It gives me the creeps! 1 love flowers, all kinds. I like to see bouquets artistically ar ranged in some other container besides a fruit jar or a water glass. I like the evening the best of any time of day and I like to spend an hour or so by myself af i ter everyone else is in bed just | writing, reading or crocheting or doing other things I don’t have time for during the day. iVl > IdVUlllC tuuuw * Blondie” but I don’t give a whoop what becomes of “Lil Ab ner” and I wouldn’t miss "Smoky Stover” either if he didn’t turn up in the Sunday paper. Hal Boyle’s column has always been good reading but I especial ly look for it now since he is with our boys in Korea. Reading for the information I get out of it, especially the meaning of new words and maybe a few old ones that are not so familiar has al ways been a sort of hobby of mine. The daily paper is a good place to learn new words, as they come into use you’ll find them there. Otherwise, how would 1 know what a “rok,” a "gook” or an "eager beaver” was? I like quiz questions and IQ tests. Sometimes I wonder if 1 have any IQ at all when I count up my score. Well, enuf for this time. MRS. JIM ZISKA —tfw— Advice and Recipes— Dear Blanche: I see you are still asking for letters and as I enjoy your week ly column will try to add my bit. My pet peeve is those poor de linquent children. My sympathy is with them. I believe in nine cases out of 10 the home train ing is to blame. Too many parents think they must take in all the amusements and then refresh themselves at the bar, leaving their children to the care of some neighbor girl or perhaps to run loose on the street until such times as they feel like going home. What can be expected of chil dren that are raised in this way? Give children a little home amuse ment and a lot of love and under standing and they will be a bless ing to you in your old age. I know for I am an old grandma. Will add a few hints. Stains on porcelain or enamelware may be removed by rubbing with kero sene. When frying chicken or fish use pancake flour instead of reg ular flour; they will be a lovely golden brown. Rub your old fell hat with fine sandpaper, it will remove all dust and spots and make the surface look like new. Now for my favorite: CHICKEN SALAD Boil chicken until welt done, SANDHILL SAL Sometimes it helps to keep you from running around in circles, if you study all the angles first. An egotist is a guy suffering from I strain. Lots of people are inclined to give credit tnese days where cash is needed. Marriage is when a masculine Houci geks a leaunine touch. remove bones and mince rather fine. Boil broth do\yn to one cup and pour over minced chicken. Set away to cool. When ready to I serve, add plenty of finely cut celery and salt to taste. Pour over the following dressing: Four egg yolks, beaten, 2 tea spoons sugar, 12 cup butter, 2 lev el tablespoons dry mustard, 1/3 cup water, 2/3 cup vinegar, cook all until like custard and let cooL Thin with cream when ready to use. This is getting rather long so if i don’t find the waste basket I may try again. JUST GRANDMA’ —tfw— cvci ny iiuai Ever try to spread raisin bread with spicy apple sauce or zesty , cheese? You’re in for something umerent and delectable—take my word for it. Try it toasted, too, and serve with the breakfast eggs, and don’t pass up raisin bread for snacks for the children. Next time you make a raisin pie, add a half cup or a cup of drain ed and shredded pineapple for a different flavor. ■—tfw— Send Ub a Letter— Now is the time to send us a Christmas letter if you expect to see it in print for this Christmas, it probably seems early to you but try to remember that we ed it this department about a month ahead of time, sometimes longer.
