Pot ROasts Are Delicious
When Properly Prepared
BY Jenny Reed
Home Economics Editor

THERE is nothing more deli
cious than well-cooked pot
roast; there is no better gravy
than that made with a pot roast.
And, served on a bed of noodles.
as pictured on this page. there are
few dishes more attractive.
The cut shown in the illustra
tion is a section of the rump, al
though there are other cuts which
serve equally well for pot roasts
The chuck, cut into pieces of the
desired size, and boned and rolled.
makes an especially well-flavored
and attractive pot roast. The
three-cornered section, known as
the heel of the round, also makes
an excellent roast.
The meat for a pot roast may
or may not be dredged with flour
IL is Drowned on all sides in hot
lard, then a small amount of
liquid is added and the meat COW
cred and cooked slowly until done.
About three hours is required for
a pot roast of the usual size. More
liquid is added as necessary, but
only a small amount at a time so
that each time the liquid cooks
away, the meat becomes that
much more Drowned and the drip
pings just that much better for
gravy.
Variety in pot roasts is gained
through the use of different kinds
of liquid and different seasonings.
Water, tomato juice, vegetable
stock, diluted vinegar, each may
be used as the liquid. A delicious
roast is the one cooked in spiced
diluted vinegar.

NOOK the macaroni, rinse and

serole. Saute the mushrooms and
chicken livers and chop them. Bail
the tomatoes until fairly thick,
strain them and season with salt,
brown sugar and little cayenne.
Saute the onions and garlic in

Stir well with two forks. Sprinkle

Sauteed Mushrooms

2 tablespoons butte,

nREPARE the mushrooms for
cooking. This is done by
brushing or wiping them well
with a cloth and separating the
caps from the stems. If they are
washed they must be thoroughly
dried. If the mushrooms are fresh
and young they need not be
skinned, but if old and rather
tough, pull off the cap skins with
fingers or a knife, and pare the
stems. Melt the butter in skillet,
which you may, if you like, rub
with garlic. Add the mushrooms
and the salt TO the butter and
saute quickly "a or minutes).
Shake the skillet or stir the mush-
rooms. When the mushrooms are
well coated reduce the heat to a

They had very pleasant day,

Perhaps we'd cry

No need have they for sad farewell;
To think it would be wrong.
True friends all return again;
The dead alone depart.
Need absence from your sight dismiss
Your Friend from your heart?
Why is there such word at all?
