° o The Frontier Woman — Hubby Breaks Down with Surprise Gift —Without Benefit of Special Occacion Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE My goodness gracious, molasses and pumpkin pie. . . if tain’t only a few days until Christmas is right in our laps! Hope you’ve sent your package to the service man in the U. S., and if you haven’t, get it in the mail pronto. Pack those cookies, cakes and other goodies in popped corn. It doesn’t weigh much and it does protect a lot. Aluminum foil is fine for wrap ping such goodies if you can buy it. It's sort of scarce these days. Remember to send enough good °ies if the package goes to a serv ice man, so that he can share with his buddies. You can make popcorn trees for home decorations. You’ll need 6 cups popped corn. Place it in a large greased bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt Stir over low heat, 1 Vi teaspoons butter, % cup molasses and V* cup sugar. Boil fc> hard boil stage. Pour syrup slowly over popped com, mix till every kernel is coat ed. Grease hands and press mix ture into a small greased funnel. Push toothpick tree trunk into 2 tree so a half inch protrudes. Remove tree while still warm. Push toothpick tree truck in o 2 large gum drops. Place on a lace doily. Top with a small colored gum drop. Trees may be decor ated with colored sugar, bits of fruit or candy. Husband Surprises; No Birthday — Mrs. Reuben Redlinger, of Page, wins today’s 3-months sub scription prize. 'Dear Blanche: i The man who whispers in a wellp About the things he has to tell, Will never make as many dollars, As he who climbs a tree and hol lers! Say, ladies, what do you know? My husband came home last night from town and, with no birthday or special event at all, surprised me with a new electric mixer, one of those small hand mixers. My but it’s handy. I’ve mixed up an angel food cake, frosting for cake, beat my ice cream and mashed potatoes with it already, and really I’m amazed and can say, How did I ever do all the beating before? Believe me, I think I’ll make a good many good thinjgs now. Here I include a recipe for well just any meal these nice cool days. ROLLED PANCAKES WITH MEAT FI LUNG Two eggs, 2 cups milk, 2 cups prepared pancake flour. Beat eggs and combine with milk, add to pancake flour and stir the in gredients until well blended. Bake on a hot griddle. Keep pan cakes warm in the oven. Spread about 2 tablespoons of meat fil ling on each pancake and roll. Serve hot with tomato sauce if desired. Serves 6 to 8. MEAT FILLING One pound ground beef, Vs cup chopped onion, 3 tablespoons shortening, 1 teaspoon salt, % teaspoon pepper, Ma teaspoon gar lic powder, Va teaspoon celery seed, Va teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, Mi teaspoon horse radish, two-thirds cup chili sauce or cat sup, one-third cup water. Brown ground beef and onion in fat. Add remaiinng ingredients, and sim mer 45 minutes. I think if you serve this as a noon or evening meal, you'll want a good salad and a tasty deesert to go with it and so here's a, good dessert recipe for this time of year. o DATE CAKE One cup chopped dates, 1 tea spoon soda sprinkled over dates, 1 cup hot water, pour over dates and soda and let stand. Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 V« cups flour and mix with fruit mixture. Bake in a greased pan. This will be very thin batter, but do not add any more flour. Spices may be added. Also serve with whiped cream. MRS. REUBEN REDLINGER —tfw— Some Ideas — APPLE SANTAS Let the children help make these. For each Santa, you can use 1 large red apple, 7 marsh mellows, I dried prune, fig or ap ricot, whoL? cloves and toothpicks. Assemble this way: Insert 2 toothpicks in back of apple to hold Santa upright. At tach four marshmallows to tooth- i picks and stick in apple for arms and legs. Fasten another marsh mallow on top of aple for Santa’s face. Insert cloves for eyes and nose. Use slice of apple or raisin for mouth. Affix piece of dried fruit on top of marshmallow for hair and top with another marshmallow (tip ped at an angle) for a hat. For the beard cut one marsh mallow into 2 or 3 pieces with scissors and stick under the chin. If the children are small and you want to make something for Christmas, let them stitch you some dish holders by hand. They will enjoy it and will be out from under foot while you’re busy with Christmas and holiday prepara tions. SANDHILL SAL Don’t hint too much as to what you want for Christmas. You may end up with 6 of the same thing. Nobody for instance needs 6 coffeemakers. Official Proceedings of the Holt County Board of Supervisors O’Neill, Nebraska October 24, 1951 10:00 A. M.
