The Frontier Woman . . . Revives Memories of’48- 49 Winter B* BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaklngr Editor owiss steaK is one of the cheap er cuts of meat and can be fixed palatably. For Swiss steak, select about two pounds of beef from the rump, round or chuck, or a slice of veal cut fairly thick. Season the meat with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour. Pounding helps to make the meat tender. Cut the steak into individual por tions and brown in suet or other fat in a heavy frying pan or skil let. Then add canned or sliced to matoes or water to cover. Partly cover with a lid and simmer for two to 2V2 hours, or until the meat is tender enough to cut with a fork. Serve the gravy over the meat. For a Spanish steak or to fix with macaroni, follow the same recipe using 1 % pounds of meat with a quart of tomatoes as the li quid. Cook V2 pound marcaroni in boiling salted water until ten der, and drain. Brown % cup chopped onion and one large chopped green pepper in fat. Add macarord, onion and pep per to the tomato gravy and serve over the meat. Smothered with onions: If the steak is from the round, rump or chuck, or if it is a flank steak, follow the recipe for Swiss steak and add sliced onions during the last half hour of cooking. If it is a beef porterhouse or sirloin, but very lean, brown it on both sides in suet or other fat, then remove from the pan. Brown sliced onions in the same pan. Put the steak back, cover with the onions, sprinkle with salt and pep per, put a lid on the pan and cook slowly for about 15 minutes. — tfw — Look Around, See Others Who Are Less Fortunate— Dear Blanche and Other Neigh bors: I enjoy The Frontier Woman so very much and would certainly hate to ever see it stop. So decid ed to send in a letter to see if it would miss the wastebasket. Hope 1955 is a better year than 1954 for us. Seems like we had our share but “Pod has not prom ised sun without rain, joy with out sorrow, or peace without pain, but Pod has promised help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love.” One has to look around and can always see others much worse off than oneself. --—— —T I don’t care for winter at all. Never did, in fact, but since 1948 and ’49 I like it less when it starts snowing and the wind blows. Oh, here we go again, drifts piling up. But so far we have had an open winter, as far as the weather man is concerned, but it always makes us think of days gone by—days we won’t forget for a long, long time. During memor able 1948-’49 we had snowdrifts and snow galore until we scoop ed down to the doors. With around 70 some inches of snow, and oh my, 23 miles to go for groceries. The woodpile was drifted under with 20 feet of snow. To the post pyle with axe we had to go for fuel. ’Twas November 18-19 that winter did start. Headed to school for the kids and the car had to get stalled. Came back, soaked to the skin, for the saddle horse. By the time the children got home, winter had really set in. The mail man couldn’t come for a good many days. To get mail we had to try other ways. The roads got bad, the groceries got low, Christ mas came and no cards to go. Then in ’49 more winter. By then it really had set in for sure. With snow and wind every other day, we managed to do chores and get hay anyway. The snow finally piled up and four horses were needed to get hay to the cattle from down by the brook. The boys in the neighborhood fixed up a rig to pull with the horses. The roads were cleaned with lots of work, until finally they gave up, though none did shirk. The snow got too deep for trac i tors to go. Some stock got hun gry. Might have been worse, we | know. The army in February brought relief. E niveryo egdtor relief. Everyone got rid of lots of grief. What a blessing—planes, weasels and such bringing food, medicines, fuel. Sick were flown to hospitals. Well, I guess I been rambling on about our bad 1948-’49 winter long enough. So will close with a recipe for a hot casserole dish which we like, especially during the winter. VEGETABLE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE Cook for five minues, % cup macaroni in salt water. Add % cup diced celery and 1/3 cup diced onion. Cook 10 minutes more. Make a white sauce from the fol lowing ingredients: One cup milk, two tablespoons flour, one table spoon butter. Mix flour and but ter together. Add slowly to milk that is starting to heat. Cook and stir until thick. Drain macaroni mixture, add white sauce, one cup cooked tomatoes and 2/3 cup diced cheese. Put into casserole and bake for an hour in medium oven. ‘A READER’ Return to California— Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fox, sr., Carol and Raymond returned Tuesday, February 22, to their home in Norwalk, Calif.
