The Frontier Woman . . . Tricks Make Meals Interesting Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Meals can get to be very pro saic but there are little tricks you can pull to make things more interesting. Add chopped parsley to the biscuts or dumplings next time you make some. Or try very fine ly chopped onion. Celery salt is a trick that makes vegetable soup, oyster soup, tomato soup, or tomato juice taste twice as good, when lightly sprinkled on top. Next time you have pork chops, brown them in hot fat as usual. Heat a can of tomato soup with an equal can of water in a sauce pan to boiling and then add this to the pork chops. Cover, simmer for 30 minutes. It makes a tomato pan gravy that is real good. And the tomato soup sort of tender izes the chops. If you have some left over chicken but no broth, use a can of cream of chicken and add a half cup of cooked peas. Make a 12 biscuit dough topping for your left over chicken pie. It will serve six and make that cup of left over chicken go a long ways. Try adding just a dash of sage to the biscuts, when mixing them. You can add more flavor to meat loaf by using a can of tom ato soup as the liquid. Next time you make salmon loaf, you can serve a clam chowder sauce with it. and you’ll have a real dish. Make the sauce by combin ing a can of clam chowder with a half cup of cream. Heat but do not boil and pour over the salmon loaf. Grate that left over cheese and add it to the next scalloped pota toes you make. If you have a few • left over weiners, slice them crosswise and add those to the potatoes, too. Ewing Reader Wins Subscription— Dear Blanche: I read your appeal for letters so I’ll try to help. Must be all the ladies are as busy as I am. I’ve been real busy all summer—can ning, cooking for hay men and just odds and ends that come with summer time. 1 just finished making some pear jam. I save the peelings when I can pears, cover with water and boil slowly for a half hour or so. Then I put them through a sieve. To one batch I added a few apricots and peach es. We liked the different taste. To make the jam, I take a cup of pulp and a cup of sugar. Cook an il thick. Stir often as it scorch es easily. With six youngsters (3 in school) we eat a lot of sweets. When I make tomato jam, I drain off some of the liquid be fore I add the sugar. It doesn’t have to cook quite so long that way. Today I have a birthday cake -O bake. I never have been able to figure out for sure just what it is about a birthday cake that fascinates our youngsters un less i s the hole in the center. Maybe it’s just having a birthday. Today it’s their daddy’s.
