The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-12-09

{Ns&E%SSH browning fowl, spicy
~ odors OF mince meat and
H pudding, tantalizlng fra
GRANGE of cakes and can
~ dies-these are the gas
Nuy1ered torch bearers, 90 to speak, OF
tAe Christmas feasting, that are al.
ready beginning to slip through swing
ing doors to whet our holiday appe'
ytites.
The wise housekeepcr has found that
the greater preparations she has been
able to make In advance, the greater
81 the success and the less the worry
and confusion Of the Christmas meals !;
and she has also found that almost
everything. even the turkey or duck,
may be prepared at least the day be-
tore.
She should bear in mind, that
whereas the heartiness Of the Christ
mas dinner permits Of the simplest
possible breakfast and supper, still
these meals should be carefully
planned and served with some atten-
ton to the festal details that are often
lavished only on the dinner. The
breakfast table may have .or its CEN
terpiece simply a pyramid Of brightly
polished red apples. but a holly
wreath laid about it or little twigs Of
the holly springing from it will give
gala touch.
Boiled eggs may be served in a nest
Of Christmas green's, or baked eggs In
green peppers on a holly decked plat
ter. After oil the seeds are removed
from the peppers they should be busted
with pepper and salt before the eggs
are broken into them, and a piece Of
holly may be laid across the top be-
fore they are served. Hot rolls may
also be served in a nest Of greens, and
the butter cut into star shapes with a
tiny cutter. Or II toast is preferred,
It takes but a moment to fashion this
into stars with larger cutter, and
place on a garnished plate.
The decorations for the dinner table
may be left undisturbed for the light
luncheon in the evening. A delightful
way to utilize the remnants of turkey
10 to mix up a generous pan Of baking
powder biscuits and serve them In q
way called biscuits en- surprise"
When they are done the top is pried
on carefully and enough Of the inside
removed to form quite little hollow.
This IL filled with the turkey that
has been mixed with celery, a few
capers and mayonnaise dressing, and
the top Of the biscuit Ii replaced. With
coffee, cakes and nuts these will be
found quite sufficient for supper, or
they may be served for evening rel
Treatments. /
And now for the Christmas dinneri
whose bursting fowl has been stalking
Tor weeks through Sonny's dreams,
and whose luscious pies and lighted
puddings have filed his fancy.
