Electricity Eliminates
Drudgery From the Home | vy4.
Thanksgiving always recalls to us our Pilgrim
ancestors; the many hardships they endured;
their struggles for existence and their crude
methods of living.
• _
The Pilgrim housewife did not have the many,
conveniences of electricity when she prepared
her Thanksgiving meal.
We have a great deal to be thankful for now!
Electricity is the servant of the home. Electric
appliances add joy to the home. See our many

CASSEROLE OF LAMB WITH
VEGETABLES
Oven dishes are becoming
more popular because tho ap
pearance of the food is more ap
petizing than that prepared on
top of the stove. And experi
enced housewives who are using
self - basting enameled ware
roasters, realize that this utensil
is best adapted to meat dishes
where basting plays such an im
portant part in the flavor and
browning of the roast. And
after the meal is cooked, enamel
ed ware is most easily cleaned,
no matter how thick the gravy.
A wholesome baked dinner
consisting of meat and vegeta
bles can be prepared in a self
bqsting enameled ware roaster,,
wmeh saves considerable time.
All the real work is in the pre
paration, the cooking only re
quires an oven of the proper
temperature and timing. -
Wipe two pounds of lamb
•boulder or neck chops with, a
damp cloth, trim, sprinkle with
salt, pepper and flour and brown
quickly in a hot, greased frying
pan. Place in a self - basting
roaster and add two cqpfuls of
diced carrots and a dozen small
white onions. Add two cupfuls
of water to the fat in the fry
ing pan; let boil up once and
then pour over the meat, adding
more water if necessary just to
cover the chops. Cover the
roaster and bake in a moderate
oven for one hour. Then add
one teaspoonful of salt, six small
potatoes cut in halves, and two
cupfuls of canned peas. Cover
closely again and continue bak
ing one hour longer. Thicken
the gravy slightly before serv
ing.
COCOA CAKE
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
*4 cup cocoa
4 eggs (beaten separately)
cups pastry flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
U teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream shortening. Gradually
add sugar, then beat in cocoa and
egg yolks. Sift baking powder
and salt and flour and add al
ternately to first mixture with
milk. Add flavoring. Fold m
whites. Bake at 350 for 35 min
utes.
STUFFED PEPPERS
6 green pepjfers
2 cupfuls boiled rice
1 cupful cold meat chopped fine
‘i teaspoonful salt
Few grains pepper
1 small onion, chopped fine
Buttered bread crumbs
Cut off the tops and clean out
the seeds from the peppers; cook
them in boiling water and drain.
Fill with a mixture made of the
rice, chopped meat, onion and
salt and pepper, and cover each
with buttered crumbs. Any kind
of gravy or soup-stock may be
added to the filling if it needs
moistening. Bake in a moder
ate oven (350 to 380 degrees F.)
for about 30 minutes.

' CHICK I
It does seem at times that an
undue amount of culinary equip
ment is required to furnish food
for two people. Here is where s
wise economy may well be exer
cised, and this includes economy
of effort, of kitchen space and
of time as well as of money.
In the larger cities of today
there is a very marked tendency
for young married folks to be
gin housekeeping in a two-rooms- 9
bath-and-kitehenette apartment.
The kitchenette part is very
often just an electric grill, whose
capabilities for a light meal are
sufficient enough, but which
makes the cooking of a really
well-seljcted and carefully
thought-out dinner a matter of
much ingenuity.
Where a gas range is available
the problem assumes lesser pro
portions, for there is always a
broiler and an oven to even the
most lilliputian range, and so
the possibilities of “good eats’’—
to use a slang but highly ex
pressive phrase—are increased
manifold.
No matter which you have,
those triangular saucepans—
they come in sets of three and
so afford opportunity to have
