The Greater Omaha Guide s HOME-MAKER’S CORNER Here’s a Magic Chocolate Pie Filling That’s Failure Proof A FESTIVE dessert Is always winning startegy when a din ner of leftovers must be trans formed into a pot luck celebration. In spite of the sugar shortage and curtailed bakery supplies, you can always be prepared for hurry up hospitality demands just by keep ing several cans of sweetened con densed milk on your pantry shelf. A luscious chocolate pie is just one of many magic treats you can make in a few minutes’ kitchen duty without touching your sugar canister. Because sweetened con densed milk is a blend of pure whole milk and sugar, there’s no need for extra sweetening. All you have to do is to cook unsweetened chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together for five minutes, add a little water, and presto! a lus cious failure-proof pie filling is magically ready. You can be sure of perfect cutting consistency, never too stiff and never too soft. If shortening is hard to get, too, you will find that a cookie crumb crust co-stars appetizingly with the choc olate filling. It’s a boon to hurry-up dinners, too, because it can be turned out in just a few minutes. y If you want a novel taste-teasing flavor for your festive pie, try a chocolate-orange filling. A fluff of whipped cream makes a decorative topping instead of traditional mer ingue which calls for two egg white* and two tablespoons of Mgar. Magic Chocolate Pie 2 squares unsweetened chocolate 1)4 cups (15 oz. can) sweetened condensed milk •4 cup water M teaspoon salt teaspoon vanilla Baked pie shell (8-Inch) Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add sweetened condensed milk, stirring over boiling water 5 minutes until mixture thickens. Add water, salt, and vanilla; stir until thoroughly blended. Pour into baked pie shell. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Chill. Magic Chocolate Orange Tarts 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate 1% cups (15 oz. can) sweetened condensed milk Grated rind of H orange 2 oranges 8 baked tart shells Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir over rapidly boiling water 5 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add orange juice and rind and blend thoroughly. Cut orange sections into small pieces, free from mem brane and arrange in baked tart shells. Cover with .chocolate mix ture. Chill. Vanilla Wafer Pie Crust Roll enough vanilla wafers to make % cup of crumbs. Cut enough vanilla wafers in halves to stand around edge of pie plate and put them in place. Cover bottom of plate with crumbs and fill in space* between halved wafers. Pour !■ filling as usual. Used Fa! Helps Make Soap Flakes These are not ribbons but soap flakes being made. Packaged soap is currently in short supply due to tow stocks of industrial fats and oils. By saving and turning in every drop of used fat, housewives can assure themselves of a greater supply of soap. WEIGHTY PROBLEM Phoebe, four-month-old calf who appears on CBS ‘County Fair’, is gaining weight at such a rate that 17-year-old Allan La Fever can't put his arms around her for his daily lifting stunt. He’s solved the problem, however, by design, ing a special harness and stand, which permits him to straddle the calf. Phoebe’s weight today: 193 pounds. ■ ^ — '* Fine Reductions on Women’s Coats $15 $20 $25 Chesterfields and belted styles in the warm casual coats you like to wear.

Downstairs ECONO-WISE Shop By Edna Mae McIntosh When a young baby is first start ing on canned strained foods, the quantity given at a single feeding is small and many mothers are puzzled over what to do with the left-overs. The efficiency of each individual refrigerator will determine the keeping time for these foods. A mother will have to use her good judgment in deciding how long it is safe to store these left-overs under the conditions existing in her own home. Canned foods are just like any other cooked foods, once they have been opened. They can be expected to keep about the same length of time, if stored under the same conditions. Spoilage results from the growth of yeasts, molds and bacteria, which are in the air and i enter after the can is opened. The] most effective method against un- i duly rapid spoilage of the food is , to keep it covered and keep it cool. Most authorities on canned foods are of the opinion that the best container in which to store the food is the one in which it is bought. This applies to both tin and glass. At the time of opening, the insides of these containers are sterile. This condition does not exist in £he cleanest of storage dishes, sub jected to ordinary household dish washing procedures. The quantity desired for feeding should be re moved and the remainder should be stored in the refrigerator as promptly as possible. Once the baby has acquired the strained food habit, through good psychological handling on the part of the mother, left-overs soon cease to be a worry. The child’s eager-* ness for these items is so great that he readily accepts half a can, more, at a single feedintr SOCIAL NEWS • Phone us your local News—JA-3215, ask for Miss DeLore Hall OMAHA WELCOMES BACK Sgt.
