The Greater Omaha Guide s HOME-MAKER’S CORNER HOUSEHOLD S MEMOS 1 . „Jjiwc When Company Comes High Degree of Ingenuity Is Essential to Success A low-point roast made with frank furters and bread stuffing can be nice enough to serve for company. Fried apple rings make a pretty and delicious garnish for this crown roast. Have you ever in a moment of social graciousness invited someone to drop in for din ner and then dis covered that the ration books can not oiler much help? This hap pens to all of us these days, but there are ways and means to skirt around this situation. Did you know that a roast can be made from a few frankfurters and that it can taste as good and look as luscious as a prewar steak? Or, if the sugar bowl is bare, syrup can sweeten the cake and syrup can make an icing that stands in frothy peaks? Don’t let strict rationing keep you from being generous about inviting people over. It’s more necessary now than ever when travel is curbed and we must seek “homey" enter tainment. And remember, too, there are no curbs on the niceties of serving. Good linens, shining silverware, sparkling glassware and attractive china will dress a table beautifully. A bowl of garden-fresh flowers or an arrangement of your own or chard's fruits can add personality touches even to simple dinners. Now, here’s the first dinner sug gestion: Melon Ball Fruit Cup Frankfurter Crown Roast Fried Apple Rings Broccoli Orange Rolls Lettuce Salad French Dressing Peanut Brittle Sugarless Cake Iced Tea or Coffee This frankfurter roast is a satis fying but low-point meat dish that is guaranteed to please your guests. The “franks” are kept moist and juicy by brushing with salad oil, and the meat, itself, is extended by the use of a spicy, well-seasoned bread dressing. Frankfurter Crown Roast. (Serves 6) 3 tablespoons salad oil % cup chopped anions 3 cups soft bread crumbs 3 cups diced carrots 1 ?4 teaspoons salt % teaspoon pepper H teaspoon marjoram h H cup chopped parsley 2 eggs 6 frankfurters Heat oil. Add onions and simmer 'until soft. Do not brown. Combine bread crumbs, carrots, salt, pep per, marjoram and parsley. Add the slightly beaten eggs, the onions and the oil in which the onions were cooked. Mix well. Turn into the center of an oiled shallow pan and shape into a round loaf about 4 inches in diam eter. # Cut frankfurters in half, the split lengthwise. Arrange, skin side out, around carrot loaf, overlapping them slightly. Tie a string around Lynn Says If Recipe Doesn't Fit the Fam ily: If you run across recipes that are too large for the family, let the following hints be your guide: One-fourth to one-third pound of lean meat is a good proportion to use for one serving. When buy ing a roast, plan to serve it for several meals. One-half to two-thirds of a cup of vegetables are good guides to vegetable serving. Don’t try to divide eggs in small recipes. Too much egg is better than not enough and more than the recipe calls for will have little effect on the result, but will add more nourishment. When making half a muffin recipe, fill empty tins with water to protect the cups. Cake and cookie recipes should not be divided. Both keep well for several days to a week, and a larger quantity can be made safely.

Brush frankfurters with oil. Bake, uncovered, in a moder ate (375-degree) oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pan, using pancake turner or wide spatula, and place on a hot platter. Garnish with fried apple rings. This sugarless cake, though made with syrup, is light, moist and fine textured. The important point to keep in mind is to add the syrup to the creamed shortening very grad ually. Pour it from a bottle into a measuring cup and add a little at a time, beating until the mixture is thoroughly blended after each ad dition. When syrup is properly blended in this way, a smooth, light batter results. •Peanut Brittle Sugarless Cake.

Nursing your j baby may seem to be restrictive | and confining, but if there is any 1 possibility that your milk will give ! your baby some advantages, surely j chat consideration is the more im portant one. One reason for nursing your baby is the natural immunity to | certain diseases, which you will be I able to pass on to him, through [ your milk. While it is true that ■ most babies thrive on a milk for I mula, it is sometimes difficult to ] adjust an artificial formula to his : particular and individual needs. Another advantage in breast | feeding is avoidance of careful | sterilizing of the bottle feeding equipment and preparation of a sanitary milk formula. This takes time every day and requires a special set of equipment. The milk formula is a matter for the expert supervision of your physician and not that of an ama teur. even the amateur friend who has had experience with a number of children.
