The Frontier Woman —
‘Crazy Cream Marketing Law’ Worked
Hardship, Reader Glad It’s Lifted
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you curious peo
ple! I know you’re curious to
know what you’re going to get
for Christinas.
Do you have the tree all trim
med? If you're looking for ideas
and haven’t
much time,
send the chil
dren to the
store for plain
animal crack
ers and frost
them in differ
ent colors and
dip some in
varicolored su
gars, and so
on. Stand them
on graham
crackers with
icing for place
favors or put a string around
them and use for tree trim. Or
simply give them to the children
iced. They’ll love the idea.
Want an idea for something
special to serve at Christmas
time? Try:
CHRISTMAS CHARLOTTE
RUSSE
You will need 1 large angel
cake. Remove the inside of the
cake., leaving a case with %
inch walks and bottom. Soften 1
tablespoon gelatin in V« cup cold
water. Add V* cup boiling water.
Stir until dissolved. Add Vi cup
sugar. Whip 2 cups whipping
cream until it begins to thicken.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring.
Add gelatin mixture* slowly,
beating until stiff. Carefully fold
in 12 marshmallows, finely cut,
18 candied cherries, finely cut,
and 6 macarexms, crushed. Pile
I lightly into cake shell. ChilL
J Garnish with mint gum drops.
Doesn’t that sound luscious?
i And it’s very pretty, too.
Do you want a fluffy dress*
ing for the fowl? This one has
rice and mashed potatoes in it,
as well as chopped apples. So
you see it's a bit different from
the general run of dressing.
You may want to try this for
the Christmas chicken. It is
good for pork shoulder stuff*
i ing, too.
FLUFFY STUFFING
You will need 5 cups dry
bread cubes, 1 egg, slightly beat
en, 1 onion, finely chopped, Vz
cup melted butter or margarine, 1
cup riced or mashed potatoes, 1
cup hot water, beef or chicken
stock, 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup
finely chopped tart apple, xk cup
chopped nuts, 2 teaspoons salt, V*
teaspoon pepper. Combine in
gredients. Mix thoroughly. Use
as a stuffing for fowl.
When Christmas is over and
you have tired of rich foods and
desserts, cookies and candies,
something down to earth and old
fashioned will hit the spot. That
will be the day for:
SWEET SOUR SPARERIBS
One side spareribs, 2 table
spoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons !
brown sugar, 1 bay leaf, % tea
spoon thyme, 2 cloves, salt to
taste, pepper to taste.
Cut spare riba into serving
pieces. Brown slowly in frying
pan. Remove spare ribs and pour
off all but 2 tablespoons drip
pings. Stir flour into drinppings,
add meat stock and cook, stirring
constantly until thickened. Add
spare ribs and remaining ingre
dients. Cover and simmer 45
minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
With this dish serve buttered
peas, cottage fried potatoes, car
rot and raisins salad, corn sticks,
butter or margarine, lemon torte
and coffee or milk.

Gets Red Nose Tending
Strictly to Own Business—
Mrs. Charley Ross, of Redbird,
wins one of our three - months’
subscriptions today. She wants
the subscription added to her
husband’s as The Frontier comes
in ms name. The other goes to
Mrs. Jack Passieux, of O’Neill.
Redbird, Nebr.
Dear Frontier Woman:
Well, old man winter has been
on our necks for a few days now,
and how I wish he would stay
away for a long time. Seems lake
I’m never ready to have winter
come. And so many people have
gone West to get out of the win
ters and winter followed them
out there. The hay is being mov
ed in closer to most feeding pla
ces since two years ago, when
our winter made history. Corn is
being piled out to dry some and
such a lot of golden piles every
where. Vegetables of all sorts
are put away for the winter.
My daughter and I got hun
gry for parsnips and, as they
are so much sweeter after
freezing, we put a few in the
freezing compartment of our
refrigerators. It works, too.
They were so nice and sweet
then.
Last Spring when we had that :
crazy law of having to market
our cream every four days, we
were getting such a small a
mount of cream, as the cows
were nearly all dry, so I churn
ed all the cream for awhile. We
put the butter in the locker in
town, so when our few cows did j
freshen again, we sell all the
cream now. I don’t chum at ail,
but how I miss the buttermilk!
Especially when I make corn
bread which my husband never I
tires of. So I keep a jar with i
some sour milk in it in the re- i
frigerator and add sweet milk to I
it. I
Ever get your nose skinned
when you kept it strictly in your
own business? Well, I did that
very thing last Saturday when i
was dashing around to get ready
Lo go to town. It wan in the after
noon and you realize that after
noons are not long now. When 1
was dressing my face, my rings
craped the skin off my nose The
ing was worn thin, after 40-odd
^ears oi continual wear and
nade a painful scraper. Red nose
ind all i wervt to town!
MRS. CHARLEY ROSS.

Passes on 'Very
Special' Recipe—
O’Neill, Nebr.
Dear Mrs. Pease;
I was just wopdering if there
were many readers of The Fron
tier Woman that plan on writing
and sending in some recipes but
lust keep putting it off?
Well, I’m that sort of person,
but today, after reading your col
umn, I decided I’d do my part for
once and share a recipe which
we think is very special:
SPAGHETTI FRUIT SALAD
One package spaghetti (about
2 cups). Boil and blanch. Six
tart apples, peeled and cubed, 1
large can sliced pineapple, cubed,
1 u* cup lemon juice, 2 cups pow
dered sugar, 4 eggs. Method:
Beat the eggs thoroughly, add
the lemon juice and the powder
ed sugar. Put in top of double
boiler and cook until thick.
When cool, add fruit and spa
ghetti. Let stand from 12 to 24
hours. When ready to serve add 2
cups of whipped cream.
f * > » . . 7 ~ -7
We surely had a wet, cold
summer, didn't we? In spite of
if ail, we raised a very good
garden. I canned ail my own
vegetables and we raised
enough potatoes for our own
use. Which means a lot. espe
cially with the high cost of liv
ing.
I particularly enjoyed canning
this year because I have a new
gas stove and surely didn’t notice
the heat while canning during
those hot days. It can’t be beat
for baking either and I do a lot
of that, with six to cook for all
the time.
It doesn’t seem possible that
next week is Christmas. I wish
[all happy holidays!
MRS. JACK PASSIEUX

Frontier.

you like. Send your letters to
Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier
Woman, Atkinson, Nebr. Be sure
to put The Frontier Woman on

Timely Helps—
You can cut up dates and oth
er sticky fruits with wet scissors.
Dip scissors in water occasional
ly
10 tint coconut: Soak it in milk
or water (V* cup to Vi cup coco
nut) with a few drops of food
j coloring added. Drain, dry on
absorbent paper.
To cut citron or candied orange
lor lemon peel, first slice it thin
I ly. Then cut slices into Vi or V4
inch squares.
It takes a pound of walnuts in
the shell to equal 2 cups nut
meats.
SANDHILL SAL
There is one thing everybody
wants for Christmas this year if
u.ey are old enough to think —
I peace.
Most laughter these days has
a tear behind it.
We can bring a measure of
happiness to ourselves if we will
make an effort to first bring it to
mners.
Can cannot live for himself a
lone. When he does, he lives
completely and irrevocably alone
1 and the day will come when he
. nnds himself out.
