Left-Overs Can Be Stars
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
I ve told you this before but it
bears repetition. You’ll get more
for your money by planning
meals m advance. Keep your
menus flexible enough to make
use of left-overs easily.
To win immediate and en
thusiastic acceptance, food
must both look and taste good.
Use little glamor touches, such
as green pepper rings, paprika,
rsley and sliced hard cooked
eggs to make simple, inexpensive
dishes extra special.
Plan your meals wisely. Check
the foods listed in the basic sev
en and you can easily see the
almost endless variety possible
in meals. With this wide array,
you can satisfy personal and fam
ily requirements. For enjoyment,
convenience, cost, custom ar.d
nutrition plan wisely.
RaiheT than being the prob
lem children of menu planning,
left-overs can become the stars
of your table. All it takes is
originality and courage to try
dishes that may seem unusual
at first.
Try a casserole by adding
freshly boiled, diced celery and
onion to left-over vegetables or
meat. Fold in cooked elbow mac
aroni or spaghetti as an extender
and top with a can of undiluted
cream soup, grated cheese or but
lea enriched brer, crumbs.
Don’t let appetites lag at this
time of year. Serve all meals at
tractively. Variety in shapes and
textures, as well as kinds cf
food is important. For example,
serve some foods raw, some
creamed, some whole. Sweet,
sour, crisp and soft foods add in
terest to meals. Serve hot foods
really hot, cold foods, cold. Salad
greens should be crisp and fresh.
When making a hearty macaroni
salad, rinse the macaroni with
cold water before mixing with
the other salad ingredients.

Wins Subscription—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I have been wanting to write
to you for a long time but time
goes by so fast, it seems, anyway
for me, as I don’t get all I want
done.
I was in the hospital a lot of
the time this year and I received
a poem from a friend. I think it’s
a wonderful poem for anyone
even though not sick because a
lot of people need courage at
times.
Here’s the poem I think so
much of, and I hope you will
print it and that others will like
it:
“Sometimes when the rain
keeps falling, and the road seems
mighty rough, and you just can’t
help a thinkin’ that this life is
mighty tough, just you smile and
keep a looking. What I’m telling
you is true, somewhere peepin’
through the rain clouds, there’s
I a little patch of blue.
“Some one has to keep a smil
in’, a singin’, don’t you see? For
if everyone looked gloomy, what
a place this world would be!
Sure, you’ve had a heap of trou
ble, and I’ve had some troubles,
too, but we’ll find if we keep
smilin’, the little patch of blue.”
I enjoy your column very
much and have tried a lot of the
recipes, too, which turned out
good.
I have an unusual banana cake
recipe and we all like it.
BANANA CAKE
Two and one-lourth cups sifted
cake flour, 1 1/3 cups sugar, one
teaspoon salt, 3*2 teaspoons bak
ing powder, cup shortening,
one cup mashed ripe bananas, Vz
teaspoon vanilla, four egg whites
(unbeaten).
Sift flour and salt and baking j
powder into mixing bowl. Add
shortening and mashed ripe ba- i
nanas and beat two minutes at'
slow speed. Add vanilla and egg
whites and beat two minutes
more at low speed. Line and
grease two eight-inch pans. Pour
batter in pans and bake 30 min
utes at 350 F. You can also bake
in a loaf pan.

Wasn Shower
Curtains Often—
They get a lot of soap and wa
ter—and that’s one of the reasons
why they need to be washed
often. Where’s the best place to
wash them? Hah—right in the
bath tub! It’s handy, just swish
them up and down in a tub full
of suds, then in clean water,
hang them back on the shower
bar, spread out to dry.
Don't squeeze them as it
might make lines in them.
Don't wring, either, for the
same reason.
A mattress should be aired
: daily, turned and vacuumed or
i brushed once a week. Try spong
ing with a little soapy water to
help remove soiled spots, then
turn the electric fan on it to dry
it quickly.
Don’t iron mattress pads after
washing them. The air spaces in
the stuffing are what make them
puffy and absorbent and washing
does this. Ironing would destroy
the air spaces.
Keep your refrigerator clean
for your health’s sake. At least
once a week defrost, remove food
and shelves, swab the iaterior
with a sudsy cloth and then wash
with warm water in which same
soda has been dissolved. Dry
thoroughly. Even if your refrig
erator defrosts automatically, re
member that it needs to be wash
ed weekly, just the same.
