Casserole for Cold
Weather Dishes

If you have an earthenware or glass
you can use it many times during the
winter months to prepare hot and ap-
petiZing meat dishes of various kinds.
In mild weather 1t is not always desir-
able to keep the oven going for an
hour or more. Another advantage of
the casserole dish is that when the
meat is once cooked to the point of
tenderness. If there are late comers to
the meal, the dish can be held at a
fairly hot temperature without detri-
ment. Likewise while first helpings
are being eaten the remainder of the
meat in the baking dish keeps hot.
The following recipe for smothered
ham with sweet potatoes is an excel
lent one of this type. 1t is from the
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.

Of course you can understand why

absorb these and carry them away,
