Ansvers TO INQUIRIES

There have been several letters
asking for the recipe for nut ,Tead
and others have asked for sugges-
tiOns along the line OF lunches and
when one is entirely at a loss
what to cook" At this season there
come days, rainy weather affects
me. when 1 want an entirely new
program. That's the time TO use new
recipes, or to experiment. SO / am
going to give you the result or my
experiences and experiments, or some
OF them.
First and foremost, let me tell you
that YOU should always keep raisins
in the house. They come in tin cans.
or paper cartons, and form the pivot
on which many a good dish depends.
Their food value is high, and when
you want a special treat for the
children get them package or seed
less raisinS.
Another article OF food that I al
WAYS try to keep is rice. Sometimes
1 mix the leftover rice with oatmeal
and have a new cereal for break
fast sometimes il goes in griddle
cakes or mullins. and otten, OF
course. IL IS on the table with roast
meat And 1 always want it when
1 have turnip salad. All of you know
the usual rice puddings, but before
sugar became scarce had a pudding
that i am going to give you today;
sugar is becoming more plentiful.
Caramel Rice Pudding-Half cup
full of rice, three cupfuls milk, three
fourths cup OF sugar, one-fourth
Gun of butter or substitute, three
eggs. cinnamon to taste, one-fOurtn
cup seeded raisins, pinch or salt.
Wash rice and steam il in milk until
thick. Then let il cool. Cream the
butter and sugar. Add the well-oeat-
en~sgss, raisins, salt, rice and CHINA
- "a dffTarnnRR
stead of greasing your pudding dish,
put in two tablespoonfuls, or more,
OF caramel and let il cover the sides
of the pudding dish. Bake in a mod
crate oven
You may not have the caramel, so
here is the recipe:
Caramel-Place a cupful or either
brown or white sugar in pan with
tablespoonful of water, let IL re-
main over the fire until ii melts and
becomes a rich dark brown. Then
add a teacupful OF boiling water ana
let IL simmer for ten minutes. when
there is more than you need for i'm
mediate use let il cool and pour II
into a bottle and keep for another
Rice Pie-BoiI a cup of rice in
quart OF milk until tender. Beat INTO
il a pinch OF salt, two tableSpoontulS
OF sugar, Juice and grated peel of
lemon. and three eggs that have been
beaten very thoroughly. Turn the
mixture into pie plate that has
been lined with pastry and bake. Slit
sugar over it just as you cut TO
serve.
Nut Bread-Two cups of flour, one
third cup OF sugar, pinch of salt, two
teas OOnfuis baking powder, cup OF
sweet milk, one egg, half cup or
nuts. cut line or mashed. They do
not do so well when put through the
meat chopper as when washed with a
cup. Pour in a baking pan and let
set twenty minutes. Bake in a mod
crate oven.
MANY of you may not know what
a treasure a box of Grape-Nuts may
become. and gelatine is another
must have" in every home. Try
these two recipes:
Fruit Pudding-One package lem
on gelatine dissolved in one pint of
boiling water, add lemon juice, or
half pound of raiSinS or other fruit,
thTee-fOurths pint of Grape-Nuts,
cup of walnuts, mix thoroughly and
pour in a dish to cool and harden. DO
not put in the dish until almost stiT,
rs YOU must stir occasionally to keep
from sinking. Serve with whipped
cream.
Minute Plum Pudding-One envel-
ope gelatine dissolved in a pint of
uolAlAlB water Auu me juice VI OHO
lemon, small teaspOonful vanilla eX-
tract. FIVE tablespoonfuls of sugar
pinch of salt, one cup of Grape-Nuts,
one cup of chopped raiSinS, two
ounces of citrOn, two English wal
nuts or half a cup chopped pecans,
One-half of a small apple chopped
fine. Mix all together and pour in
mould to cool. Serve with whipped
cream and one spoonful of sugar fla
vOred with vanilla or grape juice.
Christmas is almost here, are you
going TO be salf-denying and give
only useful presents? Are you only
going to give to the children, the
lonely and the. old people? We must
not cease our patriotism now. The
little French and Belgian children,
she people of Armenia and Poland
are freezing and starving. Don't say
They are too far Off" They need
IT least a part of your tenth. If you
have not commenced giving the Lord
His tenth let this be the TIME TO do
so.
Faithfully yours.
