The Frontier W oman — With Holidays Over Appetites—and Cooking—Will Return to Normal By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Greetings friends and readers. With Christmas over and New Year’s^ too, and probably the last of the candy and left-overs cleaned up, appetites return to normal and so does cooking It was wonderful whiles it lasted, but we can all get tired of too much rich foods. They’re not good for either the waist line or • | budget when one has too much. This is a time to return to the Id fashioned, family favorites— piping hot chicken pie for instance with baking powder biscuit top ping. Kow about trying some pressed chicken for a change? | When I make pressed chicken, I simmer 1 teaspoon celery seeds with each pint of chicken broth i for 10 minutes then strain. The i celery seed gives the pressed chicken a really delectable flavor- j ling. I always use a tablespoon of ' unflavored gelatin to ea&h pint of j broth, too. Then you are sure the | 'chicken is firm and delicious. Stewed chicken should never be actually boiled. It should be simmered just under boiling un til it is tender when tried with : a fork, and don't use too much liquid when you cook the chick en if you want that full rich "chickeny" flavor. By the way, even the most an- , cient old hen will cook tender in j the pressure cooker and can go j the way of all good old hens. Per- j sonally, I like to meet stewed chicken in the company of really good noodles, or light, feathery dutmplings. Man oh man, now there is a dish fit for a hungry woman! —tfw— ROYAL THEATRE — O'NEILL — Friday and Saturday Januray 4-5 SANTA FE Columbia Pictures presents Color by Technicolor Randolph Scott with Janis Car ter, Jerome Courtland, John Archer, Peter Thompson, Warner Anderson.

This time of year with all the fruit canned, the caves and cel lars full of eatables, doesn't one have a grand feeling? Last year I was in the hospital several times for surgery and could just get light housework done. Nearly everything we ate was store canned. So you can see why I say I’m very contented with all my jars filled when last year all were empty. My health comes first and I do thank God for giving it back to me enabling me to do so much again. From what I have read, both of aur sons are in Korea. Ours writes such interesting letters- home. He recently was wounded slightly, de helps carry the wounded down :he hills after the battles. Neither lis father nor I slept much until another letter came in the mail. Fhen he never mentioned his wounds so we knew he was all ight. He has been on the battle front almost 4 months. My, how our aearts ache for the boys. We lave yet to receive a letter of •omplaint. He hasn't once writ o® | ten such a letter. He knew what j he was in for and is the type of I boy that everything is good enough for him. I’m with a mil I lion others who pray ‘‘Peace be i with us again soon.” I’m going to come and see that : house of yours if I have to walk. A couple of years from now we plan to build one, too. I did see the picture of it, you and the Big Fanmer, and when I saw you with a hammer in hand, I thought, “Oh, oh, I’ll bet she couldn’t hit the side of a barn, let alone a nail!” Then I read, “For photograph ers only,” and I heaved a sigh, ‘that's better.” I’d suggest you leave the front hall unpainted and let everyone write their names and address on the wall. Bet that would be the first hall finished. Don't you know it's fun to be the first? Think it over, will you? Now to more serious sense. Couldn’t we have some good 1- ; dish meals? When we gals got lots of vvork to do such as washing, j ironing, or what have you, let’s pop a good nourishing dish into the oven and forget about it until noon. Here’s one we like very much, and with everything plen tiful, anyone can make it. YOU NAME IT Place in baking dish in layers liced raw potatoes, salt, sliced •aw carrots, hamburger, salted ind pepered, layer sliced onions, layer uncooked washed rice (1 •up), quart canned tomatoes, pour ver all. Bake until done at 350 F. f you haven’t tried it, do so, it’s lelicious. Good luck to you and your fam ly. 4 j t “SOLDIER’S MOM” | -The Frontier Photo & Engraving 'GRANDMA' BOWDEN IS 88 . . . “Grandma" Bowden (a bove), who has lived in Holt county 65 years, on Christmas day celebrated her 88th birth day anniversary.
