One Dessert—Many Variations
(See Recipes Belowl
Variations on a Theme
I have often thought that most of
us would be better cooks if we
learned to make a few dishes well
instead of gathering hundreds of
recipes without ever learning how
to do any one of them well enough
to set in front of company. Then, if
these few dishes get monotonous,
there are always good variations to
use to make them seem entirely dif
ferent than the basic recipe.
One woman whom I know frankly
admits that the only dessert which
she can be certain of turning out
“right and proper” is a bavarian
cream. But is it
monotonous to
have bavarian
cream whenever
we go to have
dinner with her?
No, indeed. Some
times it turns out
to be maple flavored, garnished with
pecan nutmeats. Another time she
will cleverly flavor it with choco
late and coffee, a most intriguing
combination. Then during the fruit
season, she has a spree by adding
delicious combinations like pine
apple and apricots.
Basic Bavarian Cream.
(Serves 6)
1 envelope plain, unflavorcd gelatin
Vi cup cold water
2 egg yolks
% cup sugar
% teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup thin cream
2 egg whites
Soften gelatin in cold water. Scald
milk in top part of double boiler,
then gradually add the combined
egg yolks, sugar and salt. Return
to the double boiler and cook, until
custard-like in consistence. Remove
from heat, add gelatin and stir
until dissolved. Add vanilla and
•cream. Chill, and when mixture be
gins to thicken, beat until fluffy with
rotary egg beater. Fold in stiffly
beaten whites. Pour into mold or
molds that have been rinsed in cold
water. Chill until firm. When ready
to serve, unmold and garnish as de
sired.
Bavarian Cream Variations.
Maple Bavarian: Make above
recipe using shaved maple sugar in
pla^v of white sugar. One dozen cut
marshmallows may be added or
cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Butterscotch: Omit white sugar.
Cook % cup brown sugar with 2
tablespoons butter and add this to
hot custard.
Chocolate Rice: Beat 3 table
spoons cocoa into 1 cup cooked rice
and fold into bavarian mixture.
Fruit Bavarian: Fold 1 cup diced
fruit into bavarian cream after it
starts to thicken.
Chocolate Bavarian: Add 2
squares melted, unsweetened choco
late or 6 tablespoons cocoa to scald
ed milk. Continue as directed. If
a slight flavor of coffee is desired
with the chocolate, substitute 1 ta
blespoon cold, boiled coffee for 1 ta
blespoon of the milk.
Coffee Bavarian: Substitute Vz cup
cold, boiled coffee for Vz cup milk
and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Ice cream comes in for many
Lynn Says
How to make good pastry: The
proper proportion for pastry is
1 cup flour, salt to taste and %
cup shortening or substitute.
The important points are: have
ingredients as cold as possible;
never over-mix shortening and
flour. The mixture should be
“lumpy” about the size of giant
peas.
When the shortening is not
thoroughly mixed with the flour,
it "streaks” and makes for flak
ier crust.
Too much water makes the
pastry a "toughie.” Use just
enough to make the dough stick
together. On damp days, less
water is required, on sunny days,
more

delicious variations, too, if you have
a good basic recipe:
Custard Base Ice Cream.
2 cups milk
% cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Scald 1*£ cups milk and add all
but 2 tablespoons of the sugar to it.
Add cornstarch and salt to remain
ing Vz cup milk. Add to milk which
has been heated in top part of
double boiler, stirring occasionally.
Beat 3 egg yolks and 1 white, add
the hot custard and return to double
boiler to cook for 5 minutes. Chill.
Beat 2 egg whites with the remain
ing sugar until stiff and add to
chilled custard with vanilla. Final
ly add cream which has been beat
en until thick but not stiff. Freeze
without stirring.
Ice Cream Variations.
Banana: Crush three bananas
through potato ricer, adding 2 ta
blespoons lemon juice. Add to cus
tard before adding egg white.
Caramel: Heat the sugar of the
above recipe in
heavy skillet stir
ring until melted
and light brown
in color. Add V*
cup wa*er and
stir until smooth.
Cook the corn
starch with the
milk and salt and add the caramel
plus 1 tablespoon of sugar. Proceed
as directed above.
Chocolate: Melt 114 to 2 table
spoons of chocolate over hot water
adding to custard while hot.
Coffee: Scald 14 cup finely ground
coffee in the milk, then strain
through three thicknesses of cheese
cloth. Proceed as above, adding 14
teaspoon almond flavoring.
Mint: Add 14 teaspoon mintextract
for vanilla. Tint the ice cream a
delicate green. Or, if mint extract is
not available, melt 1 cup crushed
or ground mints in milk. Tint pink
or green, as desired.
Peach: Add 1 cup crushed
peaches, 14 cup sugar and Yt tea
spoon almond extract. Omit va
nilla.
Now we come to an interesting
variation in the meat department.
When you want to dress up pork
chops for company, here are two
excellent suggestions. They are
stuffed to stretch the meat.

INFLATION
William C. FitzGibbon
Four thousand years ago a hungry
man started “inflation” when he bar
tered away his birthright for a mess
of pottage. And Esau never lived that
down. Likewise, if we Americans in
sist upon gratifying our desires by
trading our plentiful dollars for in
dustry’s scarce supplies of consumer
goods, we, like Esau, will barter away
our birthright of economic stability
in the post-war years to come.
Spending an extra dollar a day
doesn’t seem much. After all “it’s
only a dollar.” But spending that ex
tra dollars—300 days in the year—
amounts to $40 billion for the coun
try—$40 billion squandered—because
there is not that much extra value
available on meat blocks, garment
racks, or housing markets.
The extra dollars spent, buy in
flation!
To present this wanton dissipation
of our surplus buying power we must
channel its flow into reservoirs of
credit to conserve and augment its
present value for future distribution
when post-war industry can produce
ample consumer supplies.
This is a private hght. It s personal
to each of us. It’s a battle, the prog
ress and outcome of which affect
every American pocketbook today and
the strength of our individual and
national economic structure in the to
morrows that will come. It is a con
flict, however, in which each one of
us may arm himself with a ready and
potent weapon effectively to destroy
our common enemy—inflation.
That weapon is War Savings Bonds.
Wage earners are receiving more
money now than ever before. Income
to individuals will amount to about
$160 billion during the fiscal year
1945. Of this, normal taxes—Federal,
State, County and local—will take
some $21 billion. This will leave ap
proximately $139 billio nin the hands
of the American people. It is esti
mated that of this some $99 billion
will be spent for necessary consumer
goods and services, thus leaving $40
billion available for savings.
It is obvious, of course, that if we
should insist upon using this $40 bil
lion to acquire merchandise valued at
$99 billion for which a like sum has
already been provided, we would in
face be paying $139 billion for com
modities and services worth but $99
billion, accordingly the surplus funds
available in the hands of the Ameri
can people, $40 billion, would con
stitute the margin of inflation. While
a portion of this excess revenue will
be used for insurance and savings ac
counts in banks, building and loans
and similar thrift institutions, the best
possible use that can be made of the
remainder of these funds is to invest
them in United States War Savings
Bonds.
Each one of us therefore is urged to
take an active part in fighting infla
tion. We cannot hope to win a com
plete victory over it unless we wage
war against it every day in every
week throughout the years by invest
ing every available dollar in War
Savings Bonds.
WHITE MEN TO TAKE AWAY
ADVANTAGES WON BY NE
GROES UNLESS LEADERSHIP
CAN CONTROL MASSES
Probably our greatest need today
is someone to give the race a lasting
lesson in the fundamental values of
life beyond the mere routine of get
ting the job to earn the money with
which to buy food, pay the rent and
purchase clothes.
Without going into the long argu
mentative passages of profound so
cialogical whyfores and wherefores
of the race problem, it can be safely
said that the American Negro stands
in danger of losing every social ad
vantage he has won or been granted
unless he pulls himself together right
away and gets rid of his own burden.
That burden is, lack of mass discip
line, lack of respect for the rights of
others, and true pride in honest race
achievement.
The war is going to end some day
and when it does, many of the tem
porary advantages we have won in
the midst of a national hysteria are
going to he taken away from us by
the white man flushed with victory
and with enhanced pride in the abili
ties of the Nordic to rule the world;
including its darker peoples.
Dark Future Looms
The prejudices which we fight at
home so valiantly are going to be
more vicious, and necessary to the
white man as he settles down to re
construction of his domestic social or
der. First and foremost among the
reasons that will be put forward why
the Negro must be kept in the status
of a second rate citizen or inferior
being is that he cannot control his
own people. It will be claimed that
he must constanly be supervised by
whites (whether by policemen, lynch
ing mobs, or Jim Crow rules and reg
ulations) to avoid serious conse
quences to the overall pattern of Am
erican domestic social and economic

values.
The white man is going to point to
all the outward manifestations of our
lack of control as a basis for his su
perior attitude; he is going to illus
trate his case with the increasing in
cidents of our juvenile delinquency,
pointing out cases which he .will con
tend stress characteristic racial ten
dencies. He is going to show that Ne
gro children, masses of them are al
most completely ignorant of the dis
ciplinary controls that go with Amer
ican family life and run wild through
a thousand streets of as many Amer
ican cities until they either settle
down of their own accord or are dis
ciplined by the prison cell, gallows or
.electric chair. He is going to point
out, in his argument for his reason
for putting increased pressure on the
Negro, that Negro leadership is de
manding and getting more economic
and social advantages than the Negro
public or is ready to receive, that the
Negro of earlier generations (reared
in the fear of the white man, taught
by example to accept the inferior sta
tus in which he was placed) is typical
of the kind of Negro to be desired to
live in the midst of the “new white”
civilization the white man intends to
build in this country, after the war.
We Suffer Too Much Waste
It is strange, indeed, that in our
rapid acquisition of better places in
American life—the outstanding jobs
that have come to us in recognition
of our abilities; the social prestige we
are attaining on the exploits of our
Marian Andersons, Paul Robesons,
Joe Louises, Ben Davises, George
Washington Carvers, and so on—those
leading us haven’t seen the fact that
the great mass of Negroes—the 20
million and over of us who make up
America’s minority grouu, are being
criminally neglected.
It would be lovely indeed, if that
small minority of the American Ne
groes who have had the advantages
of schooling, exposure to cultural in
fluences are ready to take their place
in the Negro middle class, were all
that mattered.
The problem then would be basi
cally changed. The possibilities of
complete integration into American
life of the Negro would be brighter.
