FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
All Ways of Cooking
Meat Worth Trying

riety Of methods of cooking. If you
have beef stew this week, then plan
to have the lamb roasted or broiled.
If you have boiled ham, don't have
boiled lamb or boiled beef. Never have
fried meat more than once in any one
week-not only because it isn't so well
come, but because it becomes monot-
onous.
The housewives who sigh because
there are not more sorts. of meats to
choose from are usually those who
have not mastered the wide variety of
ways in which meat can be cooked.
In deciding on the way in which the
meat is to be cooked, you may be
guided by the time you have to devota
to the preparation of the meal. Broiled
and fried meats are good selection
for the days when the dinner must be
got in a hurry and when there is no
one to stay about in the afternoon to
haste the roast or to see that the stew
or boiled meat does not stick to the
pot.
Broiling, which experts say is the
best way of cooking meat from the
point of view of health, calls for more
expensive tender cuts. Ideally, 1t
should be done over Goals, but 1t can
be managed under a gas broiler salts
factorily.
Many women who insist that they
never fry meat do use the frying pan
often. They insist that what they do
is pan broiling. but many pan-broiled
steak and chop-so called am sure
is. in reality, simply pan-fried. To
pan-broil meat the pan must be very
hot and it is necessary to use sub
stantial iron frying pan, because the
least possible fat is allowed 1t Is,
think, impossible to do real pan-broil-
ing on an aluminium dish.
Braised meats have flavor all their
own and tougher cuts may be cooked
in this way. The meat is first Drowned
well all over in the frying pan and
then slowly simmered in the pot or
casserole.
Roasting was originally done over
or under or beside hot Goals, the meat
being held on split which was kept
in motion so that the meat would cook
evenly. This was really sort of pro-
longed broiling. Nowadays So-called
roasts are in reality baked. In order
to give the proper roast" flavor the
oven should be hot toward the end
of the process or, if you like, the I'M
covered roasting pan may be placed
beneath the broiler toward the end so
that the meat may be Drowned.

RRoILNG may be the best way to
cook meat for the very young child
or invalid, but in planning the meals

to make use of them all. We have all
been taught, I suppose, that meat
cooked by frying is more difncult 10
digest than meat cooked in other ways,

should occasionally be included IN the
daily bill of fare for the sake OF va

Meats suitable for oasting-without
previous parboiling-are expensive, but
unless we must get along on a very

In planning the meals for the week
it is always a good plan to include a

The trilling of the frogs in the over
flowing marshes is music, or it is mere
" a noise, as you choose to think.
When it is something that could go
by the name of thrilling it has to me
a most persuasive and nostalgia sweet
ness. Inevitably it calls back to mind
the Illinois marshes of my childhood
and the season when I hunted shoot
ing stars on the prairies and came
home with wet feet, late for my sup
per and dead-tired, but wondrously
happy, with my head still full OF the
sunset colors, the prairie breeze ana
the cry Of the meadow larks.
To every one it is a characteristic
sound of Spring that recalls some
happy recollection out of the past. One
cannot hear the thrilling OF frogs with
out experiencing emotion.

his lights and sights and sounds, the
cry of the frogs through the country

song. / draw a veil of charity over
the psychical effects of the booming
of bullfrogs in the hot months. In
"A Tale of Two Cities Dickens, II 1
remember rightly, says that the French
noblemen had the peasants beat the
marshes all night to keep the frogs
still so that they could sleep. This
may have been cause for the revo-
luton, but I would have been grateful
for a few peasants to beat the marshes
during the Summer nights that I slept
at Versailles. American frogs never
seem quite SO bad, though 1 have ex-
perienced times in the Summer. in the
Carolinas when I saw the reason for
copperheads-it was to eat the surplus
frogs. A plague of frogs was sent
against Pharaoh and never did Egypt
endure a worse curse.
II the evolutionists have the matter
straight, then long before any birds
had been created, before even there
were snakes, lizards, alligators, tor
toises, the frogs appeared upon this
lobe. They must have made the only
music, except for the calculations OF
insects, heard in the old forests OF
tree-ferns. And still today we listen
to the same strange croaking ecstasy
that doomed through those marshes
millions of years ago, a sound un-
changed and subtly melancholy.
