/ as wholesome a delicacy as you'd
want to serve.
You can eliminate meat from
the menu when you serve cheese
souffle.
A well-balanced meal might start
off with soup or an appetizer fol-
lowed by the souf1e, some sort of
a creamed vegetable in casserole
and a light salad. Finish with a
dessert and coffee.
Your bridge luncheon club will
love such a menu and Sunday night
supper guests will find it right to
their liking too.
Here is a cheese souff1e recipe
which requires only about an hours
preparation, including the baking:
Add three tablespoons of quick
cooking tapioca to one cup CT
scalded milk and cook in double
boiler, stirring frequently, for f1f-
teen minutes or until the tapioca
is clear and the mixture thickened.
Add one cup of grated cheese and
stir until melted. Allow it to cool
and then stir in three egg yolks
which have been beaten until thick
and linen colored.
Add one teasponful Of salt and
fold in three egg whites which have
been beaten until they are stiff.
Pour the mixture in a creased

Meat is not so quickly digested as
are the cereal foods. but in the end
il IS Just as easily digested. This
gives the advantage OF staying
power; or, as the men say, it sticks

Here is a good way TO prepare
meat pies in individual portions:

Dash Of sugar
= cup small button mushrooms
I cup gravy
Baking powder biscuit dough or

Either beef. lamb, or pork may be
used for meat pies. Cut the cold
roast meat into small pieces. Cook
the carrots until soft. add them to-
gether with the peas and mush-
rooms to the meat, sprinkle with
sugar and pour the gravy over all.
Simmer gently for few minutes.
Line patty pans with a thin layer
Of baking powder biscuit dough or
plain pastry. Fill and cover with
another thin layer of the dough or
pastry. Make holes in the top for
the steam to escape and bake in
hot oven $50 degrees, until the
dough is baked. Serve individually.

LESS DEMANDED
CUTS OF LAMB
LOWER EXPENSE
Saving Possible Without
Any Sacrifice in Ease
of Preparation.

Every one likes lamb chops, but
every one does not know about
shoulder lamb chops-the rib, yet;
the loin, yes, but these make up
just a small portion Of lamb.
Chops cut either from the arm
side or the rib side of a square cut
shoulder of lamb will cost several
cents a pound less than the better
known rib and loin chops and they
may be prepared just as quickly and
by the old favorite method of broil
ing. And they have more meat on
them. SO you see there arc num-
Der of reasons for becoming &C
quainted with these chops.
Some folk tell us that the Shout
der section Of lamb is actually more
tender than the leg. Be that as it
may, they are tender enough to
broil or panbroil.
In buying lamb chops, do not
have them cut too thin. In the
first place, a thick chop always
tastes better than a thin one and
shoulder chops that are cut very
thin will make scraggly appear
ance on the platter.
All meat has so much natural fla
vor being natures most highly fla
vored food, that it does not need
to be dressed up with seasoningS
and sauces, but every homemaker
yearns for a dish that is different.
For those who do want variety,
here are some suggestions for pre-
pairing lamb chops.
Have the required number Of
chops cut from the shoulder. Place
them on the rack on the broiler pan
and put in an oven which has been
preheated to 500 degrees, a very hot
oven.
When nicely Drowned on one side,
turn the chops and cook on the
other side. For chops cut q Of an
inch thick, it will require about f1f-
teen minutes to cook.

LAMB LINKS WELL
WITH STRING BEANS
Canned Vegetable Permits
Use in Winter.

Breast of Lamb and String Beans.
This is a romance whcih blooms
in the spring, and in fact all
through the summer and even in
winter, if you use canned string
beans.
The fine flavor of the lamb and
the delicate taste of young string
beans make an appetizing combina-
ton. Rich food value is there, too,
in the protein, fat and minerals OF
the lamb and the starch and vita
minis of the vegetables.
Braising is a good way to prepare
breast of lamb. For a rolled breast,
use shank and breast in one piece
and after removing the bones, roll,
skin side in, and fasten with
SkewerS.
Rub surface of meat with salt
and pepper and scar on all sides in
small roasting pan. Add one cup
hot water or stock and bake in a
slow oven, 300 degrees, until the
meat is tender. Then remove the
cover and allow the meat brown.
Make a gravy of the liquid in the
pan. Season with few drops OF
Worcestershire sauce.

LAMB MOVES OUT OF
SEASONAL FOOD CLASS
Delicately Favored Meat Now
Available at All Times.

Lamb is no longer considered a
seasonal food. 1t comes into the
market during all months and is
good the year round. Lamb is
delicately favored meat and is not
difficult to prepare, hence its popu-
larity at all times.
A roast leg of lamb is one of the
most popular dishes, but shoulder,
breast of lamb and other cuts are
very good.
A very satisfying and economical
dish is stuffed breast of lamb. Sc
lect a whole breast, rub with salt
and pepper, inn1erse in enough
water to cover and cook gently I'M
til tender.
Remove or draw out the bones,
place the meat in a shallow roast
ing pan and spread it with bread
stuf1ng well moistened with milk
or stock and seasoned with salt,
pepper, onion, sage, celery salt and
bacon or ham fat. Place in a fair
ly hot oven, 375 degrees, and bake
until Drowned.
