Eat It Out Of Doors

A contrast Of hot and cold foods
adds to any menu. Even in warm
weather when your inclination is
toward cold dishes you will find that
the inclusion Of one hot food will
make a more satisfying meal.
On days when you would like to
serve light luncheon or supper on
the porch or in your yard, 1t is pos
sible to plan for one quick, easy
hot dish such as mountaineering
broiled beef sandwich. 1t can be
served last, right from the oven,
on a hot platter. The salad and
iced drinks may be on the table and
dessert ready on a side table, so the
meal as whole is simple and ess
to serve as we'll as gratifying.
In summer perhaps more ths n
any other season, meals need to he
nutritious, palatable and eye-ap-
pealing. Since all meats, regard
less OF kind. cut, price or point
value, contain essential nutrients,
a meat dish should be included in
the main meal and salads or vege-
tables chosen to fit the kind of meat
and its method of preparation.

lures Of family meals this summer
II the cook knows how to use thin
cream or milk in mixtures that will
freeze successfully. Such frozen
desserts may not be so rich or quite
so smooth as those of prewar days,
made largely Of whipping cream, but
they can be refreshing and delicious.
The important secret Of smooth
ness in a frozen dessert Is keeping
the ice crystals small. The larger
the crystals, the rougher and icier
the product. The water in the mix
ture is what freezes and forms the
crystals. so smoothness depends on
distributing the water in separate
fine particles. Air bubbles whipped
in help to do this. as does the fat
in the cream and thickeners like
gelatin, eggs, -four or cornstarch
Frozen custard is a good choice this
summer when eggs are plentiful.
The egg yolks help thjcken the mix
ture and the Stif!ly beaten whites
add air bubbles just as whipped
cream does.
The Illinois Experiment Station
offers several tips for making mix
lures that will freeze smoothly in
refrigerator trays When more thin
cream is used, more thickeners are
needed. To keep crystals small the
mixture may be taken from the re-
frigerator when parity frozen,
whipped and then returned for final
freezing Rapid freezing also helps
keep the mixture smooth, so the
freezing compartment of the re-
frigerator should have as little frost
on it as possible and the gauge
should be set for a low temperature

A Nation wide survey discloses that
housewives have used more spices In
their cooking since Pearl Harbor
than they did in their peacetime
years. This in spite of the fact that
spice importations have suffered due
to the war. The reasons, In general,
included the need to make cheap
cuts OF meat more appetizing, the
popping up of ration-wise dishes
with spices to make them more at
tractive, and the use of condiments
and spicy foods In workers lunch
boxes. Some Of the brooms SELL

Leftover Banks

Compact refrigerator dishes and
coverings for foods are convenient
and space saving. These need not
be expensive but suitable to keep
leftovers in the best condition Do
not put small dabs Of foods in
large-sized dishes. Leftovers care
fully stored are fine Victory aids.
Heavy waxed papers can be tied
over bowls if regular covers are not
available. Covered glass jars are
satisfactory and take up little space.
They can be easily scalded and
aired.

In response to a request in a re-
cent edition of The Star by Mrs.
H. B. L., Silver Spring, for shrimp
creole, I have a shrimp recipe that
is very delicious. However, do not
know the name of it, but I believe it
is very like creole
Two cans shrimp or l pound of
green shrimp cooked, 4 cups cooked
rice 1l2 cups will produce this), 2
tablespoons of butter, teaspoons
worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons
tabasco sauce If desired, 2 green
peppers cut very fine, IL table
spoons or l small bottle catsup, /
pint cream Il large can evaporated
milk will do).
Put all ingredients together and
heat on top of stove then cover with
buttered crumbs and brown in over
about 10 minutes
I do hope this will be what Mrs.
H. B. L. wants. This is one of my
favorites.

housewife who has been marketing
this week knows. This is too bad.
coming just at this time, for lemons
are such Joy In cooling drinks, and
when used to put q fresh and taney
touch on food when appetittes need
bit OF coaxing. Apparently the
heavy demand, coupled with short
crop IN California, Is the cause of
the present situation. Dealers hope
things will be better before long.
In the meantime, there are good
supplies Of lines available, and
plenty OF oranges and grapefruit.
Also spotlighted in the fruit line
up are melons-honeydews, honey
balls, cantaloupes from Anne Arun-
del County, and watermelons-the
latter should be a bit cheaper this
week than last. Peaches, apricots,
pmms-including green gages-and
delicious nectarines are recon-
inended. Thompson seedless grapes
have dropped in price. There are a
few fresh prunes available. Pine
apples and bananas furnish the
tropical touch. Blueberries are about
the only good fruit of that type on
hand, although there are some
gooseberries and currants still to be
found.
As far as vegetables are con-
cerned, there are fairly good sup
plies on the market, and prices in
general are somewhat lower than
they were last week. Especially
noteworthy are tomatoes, which
have dropped amazingly in price,
and lima beans, ditto, which have
also improved in quality. There
are few-if any-caulifloWer to be
had, but good broccoli and cabbage
will make up for them. Peas, okra,

I have a suggestion to offer to
%Weary Waiting" Unless 1 am mis-
taken, it is the evening hours that
depressing triad of darkness outside,
silence and the knowledge that
there is nothing ahead to break the
hours till bedtime, suggest that
she save some of her houseWork and
small laundry and such of the cook
ing and preparing of food as can be
done beforehand till evening Eve
ming Is a grand time for baking)
The activity, hustle and noises in
cident to the work will help drive off
the blue devils" and will be bet
ter preparation for sleep than the
quiet occupations that permit brood
ing. And there will be a certain
excitement and Zest in overturning
routine and defying the established
order! In the daytime, in the hours
thus saved, let her, by all means,
pursue the occupations and culti-
vate the hobbies which a number
of wise readers have already Sug-
gested through the Clearing House
I believe they will seem less like
"made-work" if the first attempts to
rouse interest in them are made
In the daytime when boredom is less
likely to gain the upper hand than
in the evening.

I have seen three requests in the
Readers Clearing House and feel l
should pass the answers on to the
readers who asked for them.
The first was for potato dump
lings with spiced beef. This recipe
has been in our family for years.
Boil about six or eight medium
size potatoes with skins until they
are done. Then take lump of
butter or other shortening and put
it in skillet Add an onion cut
fine and about 3. cup of bread
cubes. Let them brown. Skin the
potatoes and mash. Add the bread
cubes and onion Then add an egg
and just enough -four to hold to-
gether. Have a pot of boiling salt
water and drop the dumplings in
AS they come to the top of the
water they are done. These are
truly delicious with spiced beef.

FOR WEARY WAITING"
(Thcnks to Mrs. H. F. D..
Arlington.)
I submit the following for Mrs,
J. D., Washington: I also have a
young daughter, 16 months, and
husband overseas fighting for Un-
Gle Sam. The solution that I rec
ommend for lonely wives" is work.
BY this I mean keeping busy, always
have something to do, as soon as
one job is completed start some
thing else. This, by no means, can
be considered happy life but keeps
the mind occupied and then there
is less time to be blue and lone
some. I will list the main things
that keep me busy.
GARDENING: l have beautiful
garden consisting of beans. toma-
toes, squash. cucumbers, radishes,
lettuce, turnip and mustard greens
and, last but not least, onions. This
requires constant attention but a
lot of satisfaction is derived from
it. This is my first attempt at gar
dening.
CANNING: can all the excess
food from the garden and this is
quite a lot. This helps us finan-
cially both in the summer and win
ter.
SEWING: Sew for yourself, or
outsiders. but by all means for your
little girl. If you don't like to sew
there is crocheting. embroidering
and knitting that help pass the
time away
READING: The best time that
have found for this is Just before
going to bed To me this is the
bluest time of the day. A good
love story, detective or murder mys-
terry can really take your mind of
yourself and before you realize you
can't finish because you are SO
tired and sleepy.
Good morale builders are: Keep
your personal appearance in good
condition. Keep your hands mani
cured. AS often as possible dress
up in your best and find some lady
friend and 60 out, anywhere for
change of scenery.
1 think the Readers Clearing
House is wonderful I do hope that
my contribution will help other
wives who are husbandless for the
duration.
