Idea for Easter Bunny
By MRS. BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Want to do something extra in
"the line of Easter cooking? The
children will like this idea for
an Easter bunny: Hard cook eggs
and cut in half crosswise. Insert
peanut halves for ears, two round
slices of olive for eyes. Use part
of pimento for nose and short
sprigs of parsley for curly whis
kers. Place on bed of lettuce or
water cress.
You can make Easter lilies to
" decorate the baked ham platter
for Easter, too. With a sharp knife
cut paper thin slices of turnip
four inches in diameter. Secure
two edges with toothpick to form
open cornucopias. Insert carrot
»
stick for stamen. Store in crisper
of refrigerator.
At Easter time hard cooked egg
garnishes are always so nice. You
can quarter them into wedges,
cut into slices or halve and stuff
them and use them for garnishes.
Firmly cooked egg yolks can
be pressed through a sieve or
ricer to sprinkle on a salad.
To cook, place eggs in cold wa
ter. Heat water slowly to boiling
point. Turn heat down and allow
eggs to remain in simmering wa
ter about 25 minutes. Remove
eggs and let cold water run over
them for a few minutes. Remove
shell.
For a quick Easter dessert to
please children, cut a square slice
of chocolate ice cream from a
package and nest a few jelly
beans on center of the slice. Ring
jelly beans with shredded coco
nut.
HOT CROSS BUNS
One cup milk (scalded),' 1/3
cup butter, y4 cup sugar, one tea
spoon salt, one cake compressed
yeast, one egg (beaten), four to
five cups flour (approximately),
% teaspoon cinnamon, y4 cup rai
sins.
Add butter, sugar and salt to
hot milk. Cool. Add crumbled
yeast, let stand three minutes.
Add egg, flour and cinnamon
to make a soft dough. Add rai
sins. Let rise until light. Shape
into large biscuits, place an inch
apart on buttered baking pan. Let
rise until light. Brush with beaten
egg. Bake in a hot oven of 400 F.
20 minutes. When cool, make a
cross on top of each bun with
confectioners frosting.

Views Snowcapped
Rockies from Window—
Route 1, Box 171
Eaton, Colo.
Dear Blanche:
Greetings from Colorado where
we have made our home since
1951. How fast the time has
gone. It seems like we just left
Nebraska’s prairieland a few days
ago.
From my west kitchen window
I can look out any time except in
cloudy weather and view the
snowcapped peaks of the Rockies,
those purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain of which
Katharine Lee Bates wrote and of
which we sing in “America, the
Beautiful.”
In winter time the farm peo
ple here at the foot of the
Rockies like to see those peaks
get white and more deeply cov
ered with snow as it means
irrigation water for summer
crops.
Truly then there is “gold in
them thar hills,” for man, beast
and vegetation must have water.
This past summer and fall with
the lack of snow in the moun
tains and moisture from the skies
in this part of America should
have taught man that he is noth
ing and that he needs say with
the psalmist: “I will lift up mine
eyes unto the hills from whence
1 cometh my help. My help cometh
from the Lord, which made heav
en and earth.” Psalm 121:1, 2.
They say Colorado is a nice
state to live in. Yes, I, too, can
say it is. In summer because we
are fairly close to the mountains
we have greatly enjoyed many
camping trips, sightseeing, hunt
ing and fishing with friends, rel
atives and just by ourselves. I
don’t know whether many people
would think it fun to take a tent
and camp out in the mountains,
but we have done this several
times and enjoyed it. It is some
thing different and of course ev
eryone to his own taste.
Cooking and eating in the
open and then meeting your
neighbor camper is interesting.
Very likely he is from Kansas,
Illinois, Iowa or Nebraska, but
he is your neighbor for the time
being and the conversation can
be very interesting and educa
tional.
Then, too, there is the. evening
when the forest ranger fixes a
big camp fire and the campers
begin to gather around. There
must be at least three-fourths of
the states in the Union represent
ed as the ranger leads the campers
in singing songs that you had
forgotten were written. One
camper after another hollers out
his request there by the campfire.
Some want “The Missouri Waltz”,
some “My Old Kentucky Home.”
Others want a favorite hymn or
chorus and as the singing comes
to a close you decide that the
forest ranger was not picked for
his job because of his musical
ability and that that part of the
U.S. was well represented that
liked “Deep in the Heart of
Texas.”
May I just bring this letter to
a 'close by saying that in the
hearts of this family of three (my
husband, daughter and I) there
is still a warm spot for Nebraska’s
prairieland and its people.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. DONALD GRIMES
PS. — I should have made it
more clear to you who I am by
signing my name Barbara Car
penter Grimes and saying that
we are from Chambers.
