DLEASE a hungry husband and
L small children with one and the
same dessert? That's just what this
new recipe for Meringue with
Chocolate Custard is intended to
do. The flavor is sweet enough TO
satisfy a mature taste in desserts,
and yet the consistency of the GUS
tard is thin and delicate enough
to be popular with children. 1t is
recipe that children will ask you to
make over and over again, since
each serving consists of a snowy
peak of meringue surrounded by a
chocolate custard lake.
The chocolate custard base, and
all stirred custards, are especially
easy to prepare on the surface
units of a modern electric range,
because they can be made in
saucepan over direct heat, just as
can gravies and white sauce. If you
choose to use one of the low con-
trolled heats of the electric range
and resist the temptation to turn to
a higher heat, you have the same
protection against curdling and
scorching that a double boiler pro-
vides. And more than that, each
time you make custard you can
choose to use this same heat and
expect the same creamy, smooth
product. And rightly SO, because
there is no guesswork about heat
in electric cookery. It is meas
ured ingredient in every recipe,
just as are the sugar, eggs or flour
The recipe below gives the direc
tions for making this Meringue
with Chocolate Custard without a

chocolate is melted and milk Is

egg yolks in a small mixing bowl;

ly into the remainder of the milk
and continue to cook over low heat
until custard coats the spoon (about
12 minutes). Remove from surface
unit and add "A teaspoon vanilla
Chill in refrigerator. Just before

HOT OFF THE
GRIDDLE

When grease drops on the floor,
throw ice water on it Immediately
to harden the grease so it will not
soak into the wood.
Wash painted woodwork with
clear, warm water. If very dirty,
use pure white soap.
Small pieces of broken glass
ware may be picked up from the
floor or other hard surfaces with
a piece of dampened absorbent
cotton.
To cook dried fruits, wash, cover
with cold water and let stand over
night Sweeten to taste. Place on
hot stove and boil five minutes
Place in cooker without removing
the cover, for five or six hours.
When done, remove fruit to dish,
boil syrup ten minutes and pour
over the fruit.
To remove such spots as egg,
sugar, blood, cheese, fish, without
washing the whole garment, use a
little cold water on the spot.
When cleaning spots on clothing,
the rings may come from remov-
ing the dressing of the fabric or
from using too much liquid at a
time.
The wear on linoleum depends
on it's depth, or quality and upon
it's cleansing. Buy good colors but
choose little solid white; it shows
soil.
A good foundation is as neces
sary for a good fire in a fireplace
as for a house.
When regulating a gas burner
remember tnat Dlue lame gives
good heat and no SCOT.
Vases and bottles are easily
cleaned by using wads of soft
paper and warm water. The paper
may take the place of mops and
brushes that often are too big fo1
the vase. Rinse well. Tip upside
down to dry and to let air pass into
the bottle.
Steel knives should first be
cleaned to remove grease. Remove
stains by rubbing with cork or q
wad of soft paper dipped in a fine
