MARKET BASKET

Quite a variety of green vegetables
and fresh fruits is to be found in the
down town markets and stores today.
The early berries are nearly gone, but
other fruits have come to take their
place. Pears are beginning TO come in
and few Colorado cherries, big dark
red ones, are on the market. The
peaches are larger than they were two
weeks ago, and look more like real
peaches, Green apples for sauce and
pies are plentiful and the tart rhubarb
is here in quantities Plums and apri-
cots are among the newer fruits on the
market and few large blackberrles
are still offered
The fruit stands and soda fountains
specialize in water melons, but all the
groccrs do not carry them in stock.
There are plenty Of canteloupes and a
variety OF musk melon called the honey
dew melon, shipped in from California.
For variety along the line Of vege-
tables the markets have cauliilower,
squash, black eyed peas, okra, egg plant,
roasting ears and celery, as well as the
old stand-bys, potatoes. onions, lettuce,
radshes, beets, carrots, green pfppers,
and cucumbers, which have been on the
market for some time.

the tomatoes and both cooked very
slowly until the okra was tender The
meat was diced fine, the green beans
chopped in small pieces, and the corn
cut from the cob.
These were added to the cooking to-
matoes and okra ScasoningS OF salt
and pepper were added, and this served
with corn crackers, that had grated
cheese sprinklcd on them and then
heated in the wen just long enough
to melt the cheese
Okra has a tendency TO thcken foods
when it is sliced and cooked with them.
For that reason it is considered so
very fine in vegetable soups, or escaI-
loped dishes.
Dried Okra Is Success.
Dried okra is a decided success, and
such an easy thing to do.
The very young and small pods may
be dried whole. Place them IN sack,
and cook in boiling water for seven
minutes. Remove from the boiling
water, plunge in cold water. drain and
dry between towels. Place on the racks
Of dryer, and in three or four hours
your plump, green pods of okra will
resemble meatrinds, but that is as they
should look We dried five pounds
when il was fresh and was able to get
the whole amount of the dried prod
ucts in half of the space of cereal
box
About the only way TO be able 10
Judge about the amount OF the dried
to prepare for cooking, is TO count the
number of pods Of the fresh that you
cook, some time, and then count the
dried pods.
The larger pods will have to he cut
for drying Blanch them in the boiling
water, and after they have been dried
between the towels cut in half-inch
slices and place on the racks OF the
dryer.
Combination Very Good.
Corn, oltra and tomatoes, in combi-
nation. can very easily and are fine to
have in the stock OF winter supplies,
for quick dishes, as it is ready to
serve with only a warmnR-up.
Use equal amounts OF diced neN To-
matoes and tender corn cut from the
cob, adding any amount OF sliced okra
that is wanted Cook at the simmer
ing point for fifteen minutes. Fill a
glass jar that has been covered with
boiling water for twenty minutes. Add
one teaspoon of salt and one-half tea
spoon OF sugar to the top and seal.
The acid in the tomatoes will act as a
stcrlizing agent, and no extra cooking
is needed
The only advantage that canned
foods have over dried ones is that they
are ready to serve with a few minutes
preparation, while he dried ones have
to be soaked over night.

spoons OF melted butter and one half
teaspoon salt were sufficient to give
the desired ScaSonings. That must be
left up to the taste, however. In with
the melted butter was blended two tea
spoons OF vinegar. This small amount
OF vinegar did not give a sour taste,
but seemed to cut the "slimyness' that
okra even cooked whole, will have.
Is Meat Substitute.
Another fine way to fix il, though a
little more trouble and little more ex-
pensive, is to prepare and cook IT in
the simmering water, as given in the
recipe above.
Drain off all OF the water, roll each
pod in cornmeal, to which has been ad-
ded one teaspoon Of salt TO each one
half cup OF corn meal used.
Drop these pods in deep fat and cook
until a golden brown, just as croquetts
or potato chips are cooked
While they are still hot from the
grease. grated cheese may be sprinkled
over them, and the whole serves as a
delightful meat substitute.
EScalloped with splendid.
Slice the carefully washed pods IN
thin slices In a baking dish alternate
layers Of canned or fresh tomatoes,
sliced, with the sliced okra and corn
bread crubs, seasoning each with salt
and bacon iryings or butter, finishing
with a layer of crumbs If canned to-
matoes are used, there will be juice
enough, but if the fresh ones are used
a small amount OF water will have to
be used Bake for thirty minutes in a
moderate oven.
Cottage cheese or grated cheese would
add much to the flavor and food value
OF this.

it was worth while or not.
In the ice box were these: one cold

small dish of cold green beans that
had been cooked with salt pork--a
small piece OF the pork left; two fresh
tomatoes; eight pods Of uncooked okra
The tomatoes were diced and placed
