DEVILED CRABS;
ST GERMAN SOUP.
THANKS to Mrs. L. A. L.,
Alexandra.

Mrs. l. B. E. has requested for
devlled crab. I am copying a recipe
out of The Joy of Cooking by
Irma S. Rombauer. l tried this
recipe a few days ago, using fresh
crabmeat, and it was delicious. The
recipe below is just as 1t appears in
Mrs. Rombauer's book.
Deviled Crabs-SiX servings. Flake
IL cups fresh or canned Crabmeat,
melt in saucepan tablespoon
butter, add IL teaspoons cracker
crumbs, "a cup milk or cream. Boil
these ingredients until they are
thick. Remove them from the fire.
Beat and add 2 small eggs, /. tea
spoon salt, 134 teaspoons prepared
mustard a few grains of cayenne
Add the crabmeat. Pack these in
gradients into crab shell or rame-
kins. Brush the tops with melted
butter. Brown them in quick
oven, 400 degrees, or under broiler.
l would like to copy off one Of
my choicest recipes for thick soup,
more like split pea soup than any
other I can think Of. 1t is the orig
inal received from the chef at the
Palais d'Orsay in Paris. shall
copy it as given me and then make
a few comments.
st. Germain Soup.-Soak 2 cups
dried peas overnight and cook until
tender or use 2 cans peas. Cook in
butter l cup each of diced carrots
and celery, p cup cutup bacon, small
bunch parsley, few sprigs thyme and
laurel Add to peas, press all
through sieve. add cream to desired
consistency and a little butter just
before serving.
My comments: About 3 pounds
of fresh peas may be cooked and
used instead of the dried or canned
Amount of bacon used may be re-
duced for economy. I use rosemary
instead of laurel, never having seen
it on the market You do need some
elbow grease" to put this all
through a sieve. l add milk instead
Of cream to desired consistency"
You may add salt and pepper.
FAT SALVAGE.
Requested by Mrs. NJ. r. c.,
WdShtngton.j
I understand from reports that
fat collections have fallen off con-
siderably-were particularly disap-
pointing in July and August Is this
due to the slackening of heavy cook
ing during hot weather or are other
factors contributory?
1t would indeed be interesting to
hear the opinions of the Clearing
House readers on this subject. as
they represent a large and we'll
informed group of housewives.

Club De Jeudi
By 4rfhnr II. Denfe

Came the time when the Club de
Jeudi decided to move out into the
wide world and bring a group of
friends into the home of one of the
four couples who make up the men,
bership. In short-there was to be a
buffet supper party and it was Of
fered last Thursday.
Invitations announced the hour as
seven. And shortly after, supper was
announced, service being la cafe
terra. On the dining room table
were the stacks of plates, the silver
ware and the napkins. And then, Of
course, the hearty food To provide
enough ration points, contributions
were made by one and all But the
menu itself was planned with an eye
to a minimum.
Here is what appeared on the
table:
Big pots OF baked beans.
A pan OF broued trankturterS.
A bOlUl OF cole slGW
A boWl OF tomato and lettuce.
Potato chips. Pickles. OtUeS. Celery
A bo1UL of cottage cheese literally
infused lUith chopped onions
and caraWdy seed.
Bottled beer 1GdS icy cold in a tub
standing nearby.
Coffee 1UaS ready tor the coffee
drinEerS.
A jug OF cider tempted the farm
UOterS.
Cup cakes and q basket OF apples
for dessert.
While ordinarily the dinners
served by the Club de Jeudi are
cooked by one amateur male chef
after another in rotation, for this
event all four families contributed
finished products. so there was nc
last-minute fuSSing and rushing
First of all the menu was planned
in detail Then each individual iot
was assigned The buffet was as

course, with the cottage cheese passed

Cookies for
Lunch Box
Surprise

| Each year there are mothers who
are packing lunches for the first
time To them, the idea of having
to prepare an appetizing, attractive
and healthy boXful five days a week
is almost staggering-especially now
with a coupon budget to balance.
| A general pattern simplifles mat
ters no end, an outline to be filled in
with your eaters favorite foods. For
example, half pint of milk-can be
plain, in milkshake or a soup:
substantial sandwiches-can be
white, whole wheat, rye or brown
bread filled with a choice of cheeses,
sliced meats or salads; some fruit
or raw getable-can be celery, car
rot sticks, tomato or fruit in season,
and simple nutritious dessert-can
be gingerbread, cake, cookies or tart.
Since dessert is the grand climax,
make it yummy one Here's one
that is super, yet packs well, and is
nutritious to boot-lemon molasses
cup cakes.
LEMON MOLASSES CUP CAKES.
2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder.

y teaspoons cinnamon.
Il teaspoon salt.

again. Bake in creased gem pans in

home, the supper was timed to
move right up TO popular radio
commentator period at 9. and his
remarks became the basis of a WE'LL
led discussion for which two guests
had been organized in advance.
This went on into an "impromptu"
program of phonograph recordings,
several of which had been selected
with the idea of community" sing
ing, for which a budding soprano
from among the guests had been Sc
cretly chosen. And then, 10 and be-
hold, 1t was getting on after II
O'Clock and time for all good war
workers to start to say good might
by II. This, the first buffet given by
the Club de Jeudi was a highly sue
ceSsful affair largely because the
menu was planned in keeping with
| the facilities for serving it and be-
cause an invisibly operated program
for the entire evening had been laid
down in advance, well timed and
faithfully followed. And yet outside
of the few members of the club, it
was not apparent that there had
been timing or planning.
No item in this menu is even
mildly difficult but the recipe for the
/ pot of baked beans was sound and
correct in the New England manner.
Enough for 20 hungry souls: Pick
over and soak over night quarts Of
/ pea or soldier beans Next morning
drain of water, cover with fresh
water IN which teaspoons of baking
soda have been added, bringing to
a boil and simmer slowly for IS min
utes. Now drain off all the water
and rinse the beans in cold water,
draining dry While this has been
gong on, cut a 4pound piece OF
bacon or salt pork into thick slices,
making about "a pieces. Now place
beans into pot or two, mixing the
pork in, but topping with beans.
NOW mix Z cups molaSSes, 5 table
spoons salt, II tablespoons sugar and
teaspoons dry mustard in hot
water and pour this over the beans.
Then add enough more boiling water
TO cover beans. Cover the pot and
bake 6 hours in low oven about 25O
oegreeSJ Then uncover, sprinkle
with brown sugar and bake half hour
longer to brown the top Of the beans.

To Mrs. I. w. j. of Arlington,
who asked how black-eyed peas
should be cooked: Being South

pork. Soak the peas a few hours
and then boil with a piece of
streaked bacon or salt pork, using
plenty OF water, more than you
would use with green peas. Boil for
two or more hours, until almost
dry. Or cook the peas until ten
der and then add bacon drippings
to season plentifully. Or butter or
margarine may be used if you do
not like bacon. Add butter after
peas are cooked Black-eyed peas
