The Frontier Woman— Christmas Wouldn't Make Such a Dent If Gify Were Picked Up Year-Around By Blanche spann pease • Kb „ , . < Don't look now irt here it is February^ and only PHsterday it was Christmas, or s s it seems! Only 11 more mo s,hs to do your Christinas shoring, so you bcjpr get busy. No bidding, tlwHigh, if you’d pick up a few things each month, Christ ina s wouldn’t make such a big dent in your budget all at once, and you’d probably select Blanche Spann mo™ sizable K and pleasing Pease gifts. Enough about Christmas. Time to think about St. Valentine’s day. It's less than three weeks away. This is a good time to do something nice for shut-ins and friends. Send them a valentine and maybe a small gift. In this day and age, there aae all kinds of valentines and you will find many suitable for friends and shut-ins as well as the type as a man sends bo a woman or girl he admires. —II w— Accessory Change Brightens Lunchbox— Now is the time of year when it’s hard to think of suitable things in the lunch box, some thing the children are not tired of, and something which will add interest to their meals. It is 4 good time to get some new lunch box accessories. For example a different type of bright colored napkins. Perhaps some food-saver liags to keep sandwiches moist and fresh, a change from waxed paper. Use aluminum foil to wrap carrot straws, celery and other chewy substances, It will keep t h e im very fresh and good and the chil dren will like the change. Have you ever tried rolls hol lowed out and filled with chop ped meat or egg, tuna or vege bale salad for the lunch box? Try D chopped raisins and lemon juice on whole* wheat for a different type sandwich. Other suggestions might be chopped egg and ham, banana and maple syrup on whole wheat bread, pimiento cheese and olives are also a nice combination. Try cream cheese and pineapple jam as a sandwich filler. Peanut moistened with orange juice is something a bit different. Things which can be sent in the lunch box include whole to matoes, raw carrots, celery, cel ery stuffed with cheese, cabbage and pea salad, corn custard, plain cake, cookies, dates, stewed prunes, stuffed dates, custards, tapioca, gingerbread, fresh fruit and canned fruit. Here’s a different sort of cookies: SURPRISE COOKIE Three-fourths seedless raisins, 1 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup shredded coconut, l/z cup chopped nuit meats, 4 egg whites, 1 cup gran ulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine raisins with grarham cracker crumbs, cocoanut and nuts and blend thoroughly. Beait egg whites until stiff and whip into eggs gradually, beat ing until thoroughly blended. Add flavoring and fold cracker crumb mixture into egg whites. Drop by spoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly and bake in a moderate oven 350 F. about 20 minutes. Makes about 3% doz en cookies. This is the season when rolls taste so extra good. —tfw— Housecoats Made from Wornoul Spreads— Mrs. J. A. D. wins our three months’ subscription today. We have only the one usable letter on hand. So only one winner to day. Dear Blanche: As you were asking for letters, I’ll try to write. With children in school and babies at home, it keeps me busy. I don’t pack lunches but bake cookies and rolls so they’ll be hot and fresh when they get home from school. Will send along some “did you knows?’’ I make cute house coats for the girls out of wornout bed spreads. Did you ever add a little soda to your boiling potatoes when you are in a hurry to get them done? Add a little cream to a rich gravy and it won’t separate. I will include a banana chiffon cake recipe we are very fond of. BANANA CHIFFON CAKE Sift together in a mixing bowl 1 % cup (1 cup and 2 table spoons) cake flour. Sift before measuring. Do not pack. Three fourths cup sugar, 1 Vi teaspoons baking powder, Vi teaspoon salt, make a well and add in order Vi cup cooking oil (such as Wesson), 2 unbeaten egg yolks, 3 table spoons cold water, Vi cup very ripe sieved bananas (1 to 2 ba nanas), lVi teaspoon vanilla. Beat well with a spoon until smooth. Into a large mixing bowl put Vi cup egg whites (4 eggs), Vi teaspoon cream of tartar. Whip until very stiff peaks form. Do not underbeat. Pour egg yolk mixture over whipped whites, gently folding just until blended. Pour into angel food cake pan and bake 50 to 55 minutes in 325 F. oven. This doesn’t make a very big cake, so I usually double the recipe. MRS. J. A. D. —tfw— Carmel Popcorn Needs Water— Lynch, Nebr. Dear Mrs. Pease: I am writing to tell you that in the recipe of carmel popcorn which was printed January 4 the amount of water should have read 1 cup. Whether I omitted or there was some other error I do not know, but I felt it would help if this little error were correct ed .. . Thank you, MRS. L. H. HOY, SANDHILL SAL A red hat will do for a woman what cranberry sauce does for a meal. What’s sauce for the goose may make the gander pretty mad. When a local woman brought home her new spring hat her husband very appropriately put it in the bird cage. She said if he wants hats in appropriate places she would take care of HIS hat. She did, she put it in the garbage can.
