Dear Frontier Woman and All
Our Readers:
Are you all as busy as I have
been recently, and do you get
any more done than I do? Seems
like I have worked harder than
usual these past few weeks, been
canning meat, mincemeat and
vegetable beef soup. In case
someone would care to try my
soup recipe, I’ll make a rough
guess at the amount of ingredi
ents I used in it. I cubed and
cooked about 2 pounds of beef,
then diced about 2 quarts of po
tatoes, 1 quart of carrots, 1 num
ber 2l/4 can of peas, '4 cup bar
ley, such as you get at the gro
cery stores, 1 minced onion, 1
pint tomato juice, or strained to
matoes, 2 stalks celery and dash
of paprika, salt and pepper to
taste, then add beef.
If you can it as I did, I put
it into jars and m water bath and
boiled 2 hours. (Better make it
3.—BSP.)
I used seal-all lids and
lightened them before 1 put in
the water bath. I like this dope
real well so thought otherb
might care to try it also. Yoa.
this is my own invention of a
recipe, so hope all like it.
This soup is quite thick the
way I made it but can be thinned
when opened if one wants to. fhe
recipe is sort of like my mince
meat recipe, just in my head, and
I go by taste to know when 1
have it right.
I have made hundreds of
quarts of mincemeat in my
housekeeping years and somehow
it always gets away. We still
have another hog to butcher, so
that means more mincemeat and
more work, but home cured meat
or the fresh home butchered
■tastes much better to me than
what comes over the meat count
ers. Could it be that the prices
spoil my taste? Grin.
Anyway, these fine locker box
es we can rent sure save the day.
No REA yet so, of course, no
deep freeze, but here is hoping it
comes sometime.
The mail boxes are filled with
pamphlets from the chicken
hatcheries now. I wonder why
folks try to raise so many chick
ens nowadays. It can’t be on ac
count of the price of eggs these
last few weeks.
I Had a long letter and some
1 pressed flowers from our Califor
nia youngsters a tew days ago.
if tms misses the waste basket
please add it to the subscription
ot Charley Koss because I’m the

Grand Winter—
Venus, Nebr.
I Dear Mrs. Pease:
My, oh my, what a difference
there can be in our winters. It
has been such a grand winter,
hasn’t it? When we think back on
! all that snow we had two years
! ago, also what we had last win
ter, we just wonder how there
can possbily be such a difference.
It isn’t nice to have so much
snow, like two years ago, but 1
I do believe there is more sickness
in an open winter like this one
than when we have more snow.
We both took our turn with baa
colds. Seems hard to get com
pletely over them.
We took off for Sioux City
! on Sunday morning for a visit
with our son, Harold, and fam
ily. We came back on Thursday
and just made it before that
cold wave struck. When I say
cold wave that is putting it
mildly, I should have said
frigid wave, as it surely was
cold.
I
The thermometer seems to drop
a little lower than our neighbors’
sometimes. I would wjnder if
the thing is stuck.
Back to our trip to Sioux City.
As I said before, we got home
just before it got so cold. Tins
wasn’t bad. We went down so we
could make our prints of our Col
orado trip last summer. Harold is
too busy with other photographic
work to spend time on small
prints so told us we should come
down and make our own, so
that’s what we did. Made 200
prints so have quite a bunch to
look at now. Besides the 200
black and white prints, we have
230 colored slides and 100 feet of
color movies of our Colorado
trip.
How do you like our new car
numbers? They don’t look like
Nebraska numbers, do they? l’er
sonally, I think the letters desigr
nating the counties aren’t so bad
and perhaps one would soon
learn the different counties but
the rest of it seems a little more
confusing and I haven’t quite de
cided about that part yet 1
really could not see much wrong
with the old system.
Seems there is always some
thing new that one has to learn,
isn’t there?
Notice the difference in the
length of the days now? It seems
! the time has gone pretty fast.
' First thing we know spring will
[ be here with all the cleaning to
be done. Am I ever dreading
that as my kitchen is a sight We
made the awful mistake of put
i ting Kemtone on over some kal
somine a few years ago and tind
that it is peeling now in places.
What has to be done is to remove
it all down to the plaster, I guess.
Can some one give me a runt
as to how to remove it? Some
one told me once that the oest
way was to take a hammer and
knock the plaster all off and re
plaster. But gosh, we hate to do
that even though I have felt like
it many times. Surely there must
be another way.
“Cinderella” spoke of her diary
which reminded me of mine. I
find that my daily diary I Ihave
kept for the last 25 or 26 years
has really come in handy many
times. Just yesterday for in
stance, my husband and his
brother were talking about some
big fish they had caught on such
and such a day but didn’t remem
ber the place.
Well, I slipped away for a
few seconds and came back
with all the main pointers on
the fishing trip. When I told
them, they both said, in about
the same breath, "I guess that's
right!” And they remembered
all about it then, thanks to my
diary.
Many times I have gone to my
diary for some help on something
we just don’t remember.
It seems I am getting pretty
lengthy so perhaps I better come
i to a stop for this time.
