M Homemaking Notes It's time to begin thinking a bout the foods you will be serv ing your family on the festive Thanksgiving table. The big meat item on most menus will be turkey. It's not too soon to begin preparing for America'3 favorite Thanksgiving fowl Perhaps you are wondering how large a turkey will be need ed to serve your family or the company you have invited. The quantity you buy should be de termined after considering the method of preparation as well as the number of persons to be served. Generally from one half to three quarters of a pound of fowl per person is allowed for roasting. Recipes often indi cate the amount to purchase. Birds of certain sizes have more meat on them than others. As a rule, the extremely small I and extremely large ones doi not have as much meat propor-j tionately as do those of medium i weight. Also, large breasted birds have more meat than do others. For roasting or baking, the 5 or 6 pound chicken or 10 to 12 pound turkey hen is gen erally considered an econimcal size. How much stuffing will you need for your turkey or other fowl. A general rule is for ev ery pound of bird, count one cup of crumbs; then if the bird wei ghs 10 pounds or less, subtract one cup from the total; if the bird weighs more than 10 pounds subtract 2 cups from the total. A moist tvpe of dressing is built on a foundation of rice, potatoes, apples, or of bread crumbs with added liquid. Since .rice stuffing swells considerab ly, use one cuu less of boiled j rice than of bread crumbs in any recipe. To make good crumbs for the dryish type of stuffing, use medium-dry bread 2 or 3 days old. Cut each loaf in two and "fork" out the inside, leaving the crusts.
