FireIess Cooker Recipe.

TAKE a lean piece of meat at least
L three inches thick and trim off the
irregularities. making it a good shape
Fry out the fat in the cooking kettle,
and in it brown and partly cook the
meat. turning it constantly and keeping
it hot so that the heat will penetrate
through it. When it is well warmed.
add diced onion, a couple of tomatoes
and half cup Of water, boil and place
on the hot lid Of the cooker. In an hour
replace the lid with another hot one
without opening the kettle. Allow the
meat to remain in the cooker at least
two hours longer.
Another way to prepare this same
roast is to take sharp knife and stick
it number of times through the meat
with the grain. In these Sits press a
slice of bacon, strip of green pepper,
a carrot, some minced onion and a few
cloves. Tie a stout cord around the
roast to hold it firm and add bay leaf
to the flavor. This can be cooked in
a cup of clear water without the to-
matoes and catsup added to the gravy
This meat is delicious cold and looks
pretty when served with diced beets.

~ ISH is the food of the world. All
| liz nations eat it and all ages since
q the beginning of time have relied
| on it for staple supply of food.
So it behooves US of the present day
to make the most of fish. incidentally,
it is :: means of keeping down the high
cost of living. For in almost every To-
cality there is some sort of fish that is
very cheap-a fish that lives in home
waters.
OF course, it is quite possible to be
extravagant in the eating of fish. If
those who live inland demand deep sea
fish. if those who live at sea insist on
having impoi ,ed fillet of sole and cavi-
are, then fish bills will equal bills for
meat.
But it is quite possible for the skill
full cook to convert the plainest and
cheapest fish into many appetizing and
attractive dishes.
Fish must be fresh to be at it's best;
indeed. it must be fresh to be safe
Fresh fish is safe food as there is,
but danger turks in fish which has be-
gun to deteriorate.
There are some recipes which can be
made to utilize any of the several kinds
of fish, and these are, indeed. resources
of value to any cook.
Fish Fritters.
The recipe for fish fritters which is
here given, is one of these adaptable
recipes 1t calls for any sort of cold
boiled or broiled fish.
Free the fish from bone and skin and
fake it or break it into small pieces
with two forks. Chop a small onion
and add. with seasoning of pepper and
salt Add an equal quantity of mashed
potatoes and mix thoroughly. beating
all until it is light. Then add a well
! beaten egg and mix again. and then
/. form the mixture into little cakes or
, fritters. Drop into deep fat and fry
| until brown. Serve with tomato sauce.
