If you sometimes wonder just: how much liquid to use when mak ing biscuits, a good rule is to use just enough to make a soft dough, hut not sticky A dough that can | he handled without sticking makes the lightest, flakiest biscuits. Stews are a neconomical dish and it can be varied by the addi tion of liquids such as, tomato juice, cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce or sour cream. Some of the seasonings which may add just a bit of tang to the stew are: one-half bay leaf, sprig of parsley, thyme, two or three whole cloves or peppercorns, one small clove of garlic finely chop ped, one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon catsup, one tablespoon celery seed or one-half teaspoon celery salt. These various measurements are for one pound of meat with the vegetables. When getting the vegetables for the stew just put in the ones which meet your family’s approval and then you are certain it will lie readily eaten. Here is a stew that makes use of several vegetables and is known as: HARVEST STEW 1 pound beef 1*4 teaspoon salt 1 cup water cup onion chopped 1 cup lima beans cooked 1 cup com (whole kernel) 1 cup mushrooms sliced 1 cup carrots diced 1 cup canned tomatoes 1 cup macaroni 1-inch pieces 1 sprig thyme or parsley Cut the beef in cubes and brown in 2 tablespoons hot fat in a heavy kettle. Add water and salt. Cook about 1 Vi hours or until meat is tender at a simmering tempera ture. keeping the kettle covered. Then add the vegetables, maca roni and thyme or parsley and cook for another 20 or 30 minutes or until all ingredients are tender. Add more seasoning if it needs it. This will serve five.
