Nov That Chickens Are Back
Let's Go Fancy With Them!

To learn what wonders can be
worked with a 5-pound fowl, try
one of the most famous middle
American chicken dishes next time
you want to serve something really
special.
There are as many ways of cook
ing chicken as there are countries
and traditions in these brilliant
lands yretcning from Mexico to
Panama. Chicken with raisins,
olives and tomatoes. chicken with
pineapple and bananas, chicken
baked in coconut shells-they sound
either very strange or absolutely
fascinating, depending entirely on
your ability for adventuring, but
they were recipes used by the Aztecs,

turies before our Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth Rock!
This Arroz con Polio recipe is
definitely in the Spanish tradition.
It Is q brilliantly colorful dish for
the rice, rich and moist with tomato
and onion, is tinted bright yellow
with tiny bit of saffron, and just
before serving the whole dish is
sprinkled with green peas and scar
let bits Of pimento.
II you can't get Spanish saffron
from a grocer. try your drugstore.
IT'S well worth a little extra trouble
to have q complete assortment of
herbs and spices on hand these
days. The more limited the choice
Of foods, the more flexible our cook
ing methods have to be, and inter-
egting seasonings become more i'm

Leftover Halibut
Used in Salad

Here's a nice way to take left
over cold boiled halibut and
quickly make q main dish Of q
cold supper out of 1t.
Cut the cold halibut into con-
venient bits, using a very sharp
knife to prevent ragged pieces.
Place in a bowl and moisten with
French dressing. Place the hall
but on pieces Of lettuce and dress
again with a mixture of mayon-
naise and lemon juice-using
lemon Juice to taste. This gives
your salad a sharp, definite
flavor.
Now your salad is ready except
for the touching up. For this,
you can use boned sardines,

them. And you may add bits Of

Chickens are the big news this
week-they will be plentiful and
not too expensive. The majority to
be found will be fryers. but there
will be few bakers and stewing
fowl about, too. Some dealers hope
to have a small number of ducks,
but shipments are slow these days,
and definite predictions are "out."
Fish continues good buy Por-
gies, croakers. sea bass, trout and
butterfish are recommended. Therell
be salmon and halibut from the
North, together with some fine lob
sters-a bit lower in price than they
have been-and good crab meat and
fresh shrimp from nearby and
Southern waters. Some dealers ex-
pect fresh swordfish shortly, If that
delicacy is one of your favored sea-
foods.
although the War Food Admins
tration predicts that meat counters
and butcher shops will have more
beef for sale during the next two
months than they had in June and
July, supplies seem to be slow in
materializing in most Washington
markets. Pork Is expected to be very
plentiful, we are told, and in general
pork is and has been easier to OBJ
tain than other meats. This week
end, for instance, will see such
items as fresh and smoked "picnics,"
hams and Boston butts featured in
many stores. There will be some
lamb and veal available, not much,
but enough to take care of the av-
erage demand. Some beef will be in
a few markets, but you will have to
watch the advertisements or 60
hunting for it.
Fruits and vegetables are show
ing the effect of the drought on
produce from nearby-while the
California shipments, though of ex-
cellent quaity-are fairly expensive.
Peas, string beans and young limas,
however, are not too costly, and are
very good indeed right now. To-
matoes are plentiful and cheaper
and are of good quality for home
canning as we'll as for table use.
Potatoes, corn, beets and green pep
pers are attractively priced and egg
plant are with us In full force. This
is good because eggplant can be
used In so many ways as a main
dish substitute for meat. There is
nice supply of iceberg lettuce on the
mArket-better, at the moment than
the usually tastier Boston type.
Rather high in price and none too
nigh In quality are caulifower,
broccoli and celery.
Cantaloupes are excellent Just
now, and there have been some fine
honeydews available-at price.

have come in. to supplement the

Cook Able to
Can Tomatoes

Rich in color. flavor and vitamin
G, tomatoes in their prime are pour
ing into markets in many parts of
the country these days. Always a
valuable food but especially so this
year when some vitamin c foods are
shorter in supply than last year,
tomatoes are too perishable to stand
long waiting for buyers. Every bas-
ket of tomatoes that spoils means
q loss Of food to some American
family, and a loss to the dealer who
sells and the farmer who raised the
tomatoes. 1t Is up to the American
housewife, says the War Food Ad-
ministration, to make the most Of
tomatoes this month as they come
on her market in heavy supply
for the sake Of her family's health
and her country's wartime food sit
nation.
Fewer tomatoes on the market
would 60 to waste If city women
generally realized how easy toma-
toes are to can and how much those
home-canned supplies may mean
next winter in vitamins and ration
points. Even the apartment house
wife with only two-burner stove in
a kitchenette can put up tomatoes.
All she needs is a shallow kettle,
deep-covered kettle with a rack in
the bottom, and glass jars. No
pressure Gamer is necessary.
Briefly, here is the wartime way
to put up tomatoes: Scald and peel
tomatoes. Remove stem end and
bad spots. Quarter or leave whole.
Heat to boiling in shallow kettle.
Pour into hot sterilized jars, adding
! teaspoon Of salt for each quart.
Seal or partially seal jars. Put on
rack in kettle of boiling water deep
enough so water comes an inch over
top Of jar. Boil 10 minutes. Lift
out jars, seal and store in a dark,
dry, cool place.
One reason home-canned toma-
toes may be especially useful next
winter is that the Government is
buying 17,158,000 cases of COM
mercially packed tomato products
for military use and has asked can
ners to hold $500, 900 more cases in
reserve for possible buying later.
Each case holds "a No. 2 cans, so at
least 4f1 .f37 .ot0 cans are going to
war that in peacetime would be
going on grocery shelves.
