Spinach
BY HENRIETTA D. CRAuKL
domestic Science LECTURER

Spinach was at me time a famous salad herb; its first green leaves
were watched for as eagerly as Noah watched for the dove and it was
longed for with a sort of a thirst.
This was before lighthouses and forcing frames made it possible
to obtain it all through the year. And before it could be had in cans,
with a tinny flavor, to be sure, but with a sort of spinach taste too.

come change from the tuberous vegetables of winter.
whether grown in field or dollhouse spinach must be carefully
cleaned for the small denzens of the garden like to feast on it as we'll
as you and they ire extremely hard to dislodge.
The easiest way to clean it is cut the leaves from the root stalk
with the kitchen shears and drop the leaves thus removed into cold
salt water to soak half an hour.
This will remove any insect life, as we'll rs most of the grit. Now
wash each leaf between the fingers and rinse well in fresh cold water.
When it seems clean wash and re-wash again in running water.
Keep washing until the leaves not only look fresh and clean but feel
smooth to the touch.
Now put the spinach in a deep kettle with a sprinkhng Of salt and
some bits of bacon to season. You Will not need to add water, there will
be enough clnging to the leaves and more will be extracted from the
plants by cooking.
Cover the kettle closely and cook, turning several times, about if
teen minutes; if not tender cook five minutes more.
If you have never cooked spinach. you will be surprised to see that
the peck you put to cook has shrunken to a small bowlful and that
there is a generous quantity of water in the kettle.
Drain off all the moisture and chop the vegetable fine, Most fam

meats 1t Is especially liked with sweetbreads,. outlets, o. pork.
For those who would like to try 1t in the form of a piataniere
salad W e give a recipe approved by the first American cooking teacher,
Miss Julia Coson.
She directs that a quart of tender, wer-washed leaves be dried in
the air and then chopped quite fine with four spring onions cut In
bits. Eight mint leaves ae added and the mixture first covered with
salad oil and then seasoned with pepper and salt and finally dressed with
| a mild vinegar.
This sounds Is though 1t might be a appetitous delight to lovers
of salads. Cold boiled Westphalian ham would consort well with such
a dish.
