The Frontier Woman — ‘Sloppy Joe’ Says She’s Grateful Her Husband ‘Not Too Observant’ of Her Appearance Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Eggs vary in size. If the recipe «s exacting it might be a good idea to measure them. Two me dium eggs usually make about a third cup, two large eggs, a half cup. Three medium sized eggs make a half cup while three large eggs can make two-thirds of a cup. See why sometimes your finished product may go awry when eggs are one of the ingre dients? I got a batch of lumpy brown sugar this wek and wanted to make butterscotch pecan rolls. I grabbed the rolling pin and rolled out the lumps. Sometimes you can do this by pressing brown sugar through a course sieve or fey heating it in a slow oven. When you measure brown sugar, remember it should be packed in to a dry measuring cup just enough so it will hold its shape. Of course, it gpes without saying that it should be leveled off. Lots of people who always measure flour or brown sugar, forget that most frosting re cipes that call for powdered su gar, mean powdered sugar that has been sifted before measur ing. Remember that and you may have better luck with the frosting recipes. Folks who buy sugar in 100 pound sacks, as we do, probably have lumpy sugar after all these wet months. Take two largo dumps of sugar and rub them to gether to make the sugar fine, or rub it through a large coarse sieve. Be sure to do this before measuring it to use in a recipe. Ordinarily sugar doesn’t have to be sifted, but if its lumpy that’s o different story. •—tfw— 'Sloppy Joe' Wins Subscription— Dear Blanche: It always amuses me when l hear someone remark, how they wear their hair a certain way, or they wear a certain color because John thinks it’s so becoming. Why? I even read once about a lady wanting a divorce because her husband never told her how nice she looked. Giddy soul! She must have had a lot of time to think about • • herself. Too bad she didn’t find something worthwhile to do. Maybe he would have noticed that. My good, long suffering hubby never remarked about my looks either. My hair can be looking just right pretty, or stringing around my face like a goose’s tail and he never seems to know the difference. In fact soimetimes I wonder if I shaved it off would he notice it, but by golly, it’s not worth the i effort. He probably wouldn’t. I seem to look the same to him in an old pair of faded jeans as I do when I'm all dressed up in my best "bib and tucker." Again, I wonder if I came out ready for town, dressed in shorts, would he no tice? (Dare you to try it sometime.— Blanche). I’ve never had time to try that either and probably never will as I don’t own any shorts and don’t ' think I'll get any. He’d probably let me go to town that way—and tsk! tsk!—what would the neigh bors say? it really comes in handy some time for him not to be too observ ant. There are days, such as wash [ days and such when I’m a little worse for wear and would knock anybody speechless. Maybe the poor man was already to say j something on one of those days, and from the glint in my eye, he thought silence was the best pol icy. So he's been silent on my ap pearance ever since. Oh, it’s probably just as well this way. If my husband were too observant I’d surely be nervous as a bee with the hives trying to please him. This way I can just relax and know I’ll look all ri^ht. ’’SLOPPY JOE” —tfw— Recipe of Ihe Week — LEMON CHEESE PIE One cup sugar, Vi cup flour, 1 cup boiling water, 2 egg yolks, beaten, V6 cup Wisconsin Natural American cheese, grated, salt, juice of 1 lemon, rind of 1 lemon, grated, 2 egg whites and Vi cup sugar.
