A Good Stew Is
Always Welcome

A good stew, with the meat
temptingly Drowned and tender and
vegetables made more delicious by
the flavor of the meat, never goes
out Of style or out Of favor with
those who know and enjoy the best
in food, Inez s. Wilson, home econo-
mist, points out.
When there are children in the
family, stew has a very special
place in the menu both because 1t is
nutritious and because children as
a rule like it and will eat both meat
and vegetables in adequate amounts.
The fact that stew Is economical
is an added advantage. But some
times just because Of this fact 1t
isn't rated as highly as its fine
flavor and high food value deserve.
Perhaps one reason Is that some
homemakers let their Stews become
monotonous by never varying the
ingredients. And sometimes they
prepare them careleSSly and serve
them in unappetizing fashion.
Beef stew with dumplings Is one
of the most substantial and appe-
Clz1ng OF SteWS.
Beef Stew with Dumplings
2 pounds beef neck or shank
Q tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons lard
6 small onions
6 small carrots
2 cups peas
Salt and pepper
Have beef cut into 1-iach cubes.
Shank, neck or flank are good cuts
for this purpose. Dredge the cubes
with flour and brown in hot lard.
Season with salt and pepper, cover
with hot water. Cover tightly and
cook slowly until done, about two
hours. Forty-five minutes before
serving, add whole onions, carrots
and peas. Fifteen minutes before
serving, drop dumplings on top OF
the vegetables. Cover the kettle
tightly and cook without removing
the cover for fifteen minutes.

What Is In A
Can OF Peas

To begin with, If the can is the
common size known as No. 2, it will
contain 2 1-2 cups, or about five
servings, allowing one-half cup per
person.
The liquid in the can was just
water, with little sugar. and salt
added to it when it was put in the
can. When you open the can the
liquid contains more than water,
sugar and salt. Why Because as
the peas were cooked in the liquid
after the can was sealed, a portion
OF the food value was absorbed by
the liquid. It is to retain this food
value that you are constantly urged
to use the liquid ON canned peas
and other canned foods. The liquid
may be drained from the peas and
used In making sauces or soups, or
II youewish to use it with the peas,
one Of the best methods is to drain
the liquid into saucepan and boil
1t down until there Is about one
third the original amount. Then
add the peas, salt, pepper and but
ter.
Dietetically speaking, canned peas
contain starch, sugar, protein, vita
minis A, B and @, and such import
ant minerals as calcium, iron and
phosphorus. The commercial meth

Variety In
Lamb Chops
Aid To Menus

The popularity Of lamb chops is
never questioned. Fine in flavor, very
tender and easily prepared, lamb
chops are worthy Of the esteem in
which they are held.
Since all portions Of lamb are
tender, chops suitable for broiling
may be cut from the rib, the loin or
the shoulder, says 1nez s. Wilson,
home economist.
The variety in lamb chops gives
several cuts suitable for different
occasions.
Rib and loin chops are perhaps
better known. The loin chop can be
identified by the small tenderloin
muscle and the T-shaped bone.
Frenched Chops
Rib chops are often Frenched to
make them fancy for luncheons OF
special occasions. Frenching merely
means having the meat scraped
from the end Of rib bones. These
ends can be decorated with q frtll
after broiling, If desired.
Delicious lamb chops may be cut
from the shoulder, either from the
rib or arm, side. II cut from the arm
side, the chops will have a round
bone; from the rib side, part Of the
blade bone will be seen; but in
either case, the chops are tender
and we'll favored and can be broiled
with satisfaction.
Saratoga chops are another YER
sion Of shoulder chops. These chops
are made by removing the ribs ano
vertebrate and fashioning the under
cut shoulder into tight roll. Skew
ers are placed through the center Of
the roll at regular intervals and the
chops made by slicing between eact
skeWer.
To BrOiI Lamb Chops
For broiling lamb chops, preheat
the broiler, If you wish. Place the
chops with the top surface about
three inches from the source o.
heat. When the chops are brown
they VIAL. be cooked about halfway
through. Season the chcops anc
turn. When both sides are brown
the chops are ready to serve.
Chops one-inch thick require
about twelve minutes to broil.

Cakes made with lard have SUI

Miss Ineg Wilson approves mod

the procedure is: "a Cream the lard
