Clam Casserole For
Friday Feasting

Friday dinner can be just as
interesting meal as ON any other
day. We all know that fish din
ners can be sad affairs and cause
us a great deal of worry and
make US wish that Friday came
once q month instead of every
week. There are a great many
women, however, who can make
their Friday dinners an occasion
of great goodness. These women
have tried recipe after recipe and
have gathered together several
that are choice and well liked by
the family. We all tire of fried
or broiled fish so to get away from
this we serve something like this:
CLAM CASSEROLE
l pint clean CLAIMS finely chopped
tablespoon lemon juice
/ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons -four
" teaspoon salt
2s cup sliced carrot
cup chopped celery
" cup drained canned tomatoes
2 cups mashed and seasoned
potatoes
Bread or cracker crumbs
Grated cheese
Butter a casserole and cover the
bottom with the chopped clans.
Add the lemon juice and Worces-
tershire sauce. Sprinkle with
-four and salt. Add the vegetables
in layers. Cover the potato with
the crumbs and cheese mixed. and
bake for 20 minutes in moder-
.ately hot oven.

also served abroad though in a little different man.

Salt and sprinkle to taste
Wash the spinach thoroughly several times in
cold water Parboi. Do not add any water to cook
it that which adheres to the leaves after washing
it is sufficient. AS as you remove it from the
fire put it under cold, running water Press out as
much of the water as possible, then with towel
press very dry. Chop rather coarsely and put in a
pan with the olive OIL salt and pepper Stir frequently
with fork the spinach will absorb the OIL When
the spinach almost cooked add the eggs and little
salt. When the eggs have become firm on the under
side, turn with spatula and allow to cook the
other side, but do not let them become too firm.
Fold over and serve hot. A little grated Parmesan
cheese added to the eggs improves the flavor.

tenderness as the wife makes her
cakes and under such circum-
stances, it would be beyond all
thought that anyone but the man
should serve said masterpiece.
Here is recipe given to US by a
man who thinks woman should
never make a salad to be eaten by
men, she should make only those
dainty tid-bits that men don't like
particularly. This is a salad that
is served either as first course, or
with the main course Of q meal.
To start: Be sure that the salad
bowl is kept in the ice box all day,
then rub the bowl gently with a
crushed Glove of garlic. Line the
bowl with heart of lettuce leaves,
all crisp and cold and luscious
looking. Slice into the bowl two or
three peeled cucumbers, lettuce
that has been broken in small bits
with the fingers, not cut with a
knife, pearl onions, slices Of to-
matoes and mix with all the con-
tents of a small tin of curled
anchovies. Dress this salad with
French dressing that has been
seasoned to the nth degree and
garnish with slices of cold hard
boiled eggs. The bowl, along with
the salad plates, is placed before
the maker who then, with the aid
of wooden spoon and fork losses
the salad gently but firmly and
then serves it to the family and
guests.

POached Eggs And
Spinach With All
The Frills

There is absolutely nothing new
about plain boiled spinach with
poached eggs, and no one is par
ticularly impressed by the thought.
However. - little fancy dressing
with all the frills makes all the
difference in the world. The eggs
seem to sit up and take notice and
the spinach puts on its best green
makeup and all in all, it's a grand
affair.
EGG AND SPINACH
CASSEROLE
cup cooked spinach. drained
and chopped
2 cups white sauce with bread
crumbs
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
\ cup grated American cheese
Paprika
Line the bottom of a buttered
baking dish with spinach. Pour the
bread crumb sauce over it. Break
eggs and drop them carefully in
circular arrangement over white
sauce. Season and sprinkle with
cheese and paprika. Bake in mod
crate oven (375' F.) for fifteen
minutes.
To make the sauce: remove the
crusts from slices of bread and
then crunrble the bread. Scald one
cup of milk, add bread and cook
slowly, stirring well. until the mix

Macaroon Pudding
With Wine Custard

If one is so fortunate as to live
near a bakery where they make
good macaroons, there is no end to
what she can do in the way of
buildings and creams. Or they can
be left untouched, in their natural
state and still be unbeatable.
But speaking of buildings, here
is one that is almost beyond de-
scription:
MACAROON PUDDING WITH
WINE CUSTARD
6 eggs, separated
Dor tablespoons sugar
u cup white wine
Juice Of half a lemon
Rind of an orange
l teaspoon cornstarch
u pound macaroons
l dozen lady fingers
Add sugar to yolks of eggs that
have been well beaten, also lemon
juice and orange rind. Add a little
of the wine to dissolve the corn
starch. Mix, add to yolks, pour en-
the wine and cook until thick.
Split lady fingers and put on a
platter that can be put in the
oven. Use crumbs to fill in be-
tween. Put on this a layer of the
wine custard a layer of maca-
rooms, layer of wine custard and
macaroons again. Cover entirely
with meringue and set in the oven
just long enough to brown. For
the meringue, add 6 tablespoons Of
powdered sugar to the 6 stiffly
beaten egg whites.

Then canned apricots, peaches.
