The Frontier Woman . . . Serve Pancakes For Supper By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemakinjr Editor Well, here was are at the last Thursday in December and next week we’ll have to start learning to write “1956.” And here I’ve just gotten used to the idea of writing “1955.” Time gets to be a more slippery old cuss every year and goes by before you ever know what’s happened to you. By now everyone is probably so surfeited with rich foods that something plain and ordinary will taste pretty good again. How many of you ever serve pancakes for supper? If you have some left over chicken after new year’s, you might cream it the next day and serve it, a couple of table spoons full inside a rolled up and baked pancake. That is, bake the pancake first, put on the chicken and roll it up. Serve and eat at once! Because your budget is prob ably screaming for help and you’ll need to squeeze it anyway for the new year fowl, how about serving a savory salmon loaf one of these days? It’s good, economical and easily made. SAVORY SALMON LOAF One-half cup crisp buttered bread crumbs, two eggs (slightly beaten), % cup milk, two cups (one pound) canned pink salmon (flaked), one teaspoon lemon juice, % teaspoon salt, dash pep per, % teaspoon sage, two tea spoons finely shopped onion, one tablespoon chopped parsley, one tablesoon melted butter. Combine ingredients in order given. Pack firmly in buttered loaf pan and bake in moderate oven of 350 F. for 45 minutes. Turn out on platter and serve with creamed peas as sauce. Serves six. Another good and economical way to serve salmon is— SALMON POT PIE Four tablespoons butter, one tablespoon minced onion, six ta blespons flour, one cup salmon juice and water, 1% cups milk, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon lemon juice, dash paprika, one cup diced cooked celery, one cup cooked new peas, one-pound can salmon. Melt the butter and add onion. Cook two minutes, then stir in flour, salmon juice and water and milk. Cook, stirring until thick and smooth. Add seasonings, cel ery, peas and salmon, broken into large pieces. Pour into a casserole and top with biscuit dough rolled thin and cut in fancy shapes. Bake in a hot oven of 400 F. about 20 to 30 minutes ,or until crust is nicely browned. Buttered bread strips may replace biscuit dough if desired. Serves six. — tfw — Mrs. Pinkerman Wins Subscription— Redbird, Nebr. Dear Mrs. Pease: These cold winter days are just right for catching up on the let ters that have been put back for writing where there is less to do. Certainly these below zero tem peratures do not invite any out doors activities that aren’t neces sary. Living on the farm gives me a few necessary out-of-doors chores but a couple of very quick trips to the chicken house each day are about the limit of my airings on these cold days. The youngsters seem to thrive on playing outside and the fact that I don’t stick my nose out un less it is necessary definitely places me in the older age group. However, I am not one of the oldsters who feels the younger generation is wild and less re sponsible than we were as teen agers. To be perfectly honest, Elanche, the only thing I can see wrong with today’s teenagers is the simple fact that I am not one of them anymore. Christmas will soon be here. (Editorial note: This letter was naturally writen before Christ mas.) I imagine many of your readers are head over heels in gift buying and wrapping now, but not me. I’m the gal who waits until the last minute rush is on and then dashes out and winds up exhausted but full of the old holiday hustle and bustle spirit, after a spree of last minute buy ing. I have discovered a household hint, that works so well I’d like to pass it on to your readers. Cut circles of “foil wrap” just larger than the burner of your gas or electric stove. Shape them down around the burner like a dish with a hole in the middle for the burner (or air vent if your stove is electric). These are very easy to cut out and they catch any droppings from the cooking that would otherwise be cooked fast to your burner trough, and have I to be scrubbed up. These can be« changed as needed and they do an excellent job of keeping toe stove clean under the burner. Well, this letter has grown to quite a length so I had better quit for this time. MRS. VELDON B. PINKERMAN — tfw — SOS for Letters for Frontier Woman— We are badly in need of letters for The Frontier Woman. Won’t you please get busy and write us one? You may write about any thing you like. Send it to. Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkinson, Nebr. Be sure to put The Frontier Woman nota tion on the envelope.
