Mexican Recipes
Can Be Different
Dear Almanack:
Mexican cooking Is not all
beans, chill and tamales. Our
ancient Oaxacan Indian criada
taught US a few of her very
Mexican dishes and we'd like to
share them with our friends.
Cocktail Nuts.
They're toasted squash seed
and delicious for any OCCASION
Mix handful Of fine wood ash
in a pan full Of water. Stir well
and let this settle. The ash from
the fireplace or barbecue pit Will
do if it is from good wood. Soak
squash seed in this solution for
half a day. This makes the out
side husks come off. The kernels
are then dried with cloth and
toasted or fried slowly in some
butter until golden brown. Spread
them on brown paper and sprin-
kle with salt.
Lemon Potatoes.
These have such an unusual
flavor and can be served with
fish or meat.
Peel and cook four large pota-
toes. Mash thoroughly and add
only enough canned milk and but
ter for flavor. Crate the rind
Of one lemon, mash a half Glove
Of garlic and chop a few sprigs
Of parsley, about a tablespoonful.
Add these to potato mixture.
Form into balls or patties and
drop in boiling fat to brown. Or
put mixture in casserole and
brown in the oven.
Stuffed Indian Beef.
Our criada bought beef fillet
but any good cut of homeless
beef roast may be used-sirloin
tip and Pixies Peak, etc.
With a small sharp knife make
incisions about an inch apart
over the whole roast. Stuff the
holes alternately with quartered
blanched almonds and seedless
raisins. Cover lightly with flour
and brown well in fat in Dutch
oven. Almost cover meat with
water and braise slowly until ten
der If necessary add more
water so that a rich gravy stock
will be in pot. Remove meat and
thicken. If desired a Glove of
garlic may be cooked In the pot
but be sure to. remove it before
making the gravy.
Combining several native vege-
tables, this dish is as popular in
wealthy homes as il is in Indian
villages and food stalls at the
fiesta.
Dice desired quantity Of zuc-
cini or Italian squash and start
frying in butter or fat in an iron
skillet. Add a chopped onion.

and corn cut from two fresh ears

Tavern Patrons
See $3.50 Ho|dup

Two red haired bandits. one
with a pistol, the other with a
sawed-off shotgun, held up and
robbed a tavern al 2842 Michigan
avenue Saturday of $3.50 while
seven customers were lined up
against the wall and threatened
with death.
All the customers were locked
in small restroom in the rear
of the building. The bandits took
$50 from the customers. The two
men made their escape in a car,
going north on Lawton avenue.
Peter Pashis, AZ. of 1900 West
Grand boulevard, operator of the
tavern. described the two men to
police who believe their hair might
have been dyed. Detective Inspec-
tor Edward G. Graft, in charge oil
the police department over the
weekend, does not believe they
are the same men who held up an
other Michigan avenue tavern a
few days ago and escaped with
$1,000.
