Halloween Party Tips

II you grownups don't want the
COLLINS to get you on All Saints eve,
you must be sure to give party.
Frolic and feasting among good
friends safely gathered indoors are
a traditional talisman against the
mischievous pranks of the prowling
spooks and spirits and witches
abroad on Halloween.
You can celebrate the holiday
with q little witchery of your own il
you climax your refreshments with
spooky ghost cakes. Co-star them
with glasses of coffolate, made with
regular or decaffeinated coffee. You
can serve your beverage either hot
or iced. However you serve 1t, be
sure to have bowl of mixed fruit
and another of nuts, both time-hon-
ored Halloween fare.
It's an easy trick to make the
ghost cakes. just cut a fat square
layer cake into long, irregular tri-
angles. They may need little
trimming to make them stand up
right on their bases. Then cover
them with frosting. Don't try to
make 1t lie smoothly. Your ghosts
will look more ghostly if the frosting
drips and burrows little. Make tiny
eyes and mouth of frosting or raj
sins, and your little ghosts are ready
to add a decorative note to your
table.

Sausage Fills the Bill
BY The Vicfory Chef

: AS this is written, the victory PIG
Is working to put some last-minute
poundage upon the future hams and

supply OF sausage.
And what promise of robust late
fall and winter meals this sausage
promises US!
An average-to-medium size porker

Now, while there is often we'll

there is something grand and noble
about a batch Of sausage we make
up ourselves. And while 15-pound
output is sizable amount, it's an
easy thing to carry it along in the
icebox.
So now we inspect our pig pork
ready to make up our batch of
sausage. For 15-pound batch, we
have 10 pounds of lean meat and S
pounds of nice fat pork.
This We cut into small pieces, mix
up the fat and lean and then we
add these spices: Half a teaspoon
OF ginger. one teaspoon of sugar, a
quarter OF a pound of salt, one table
spoonful of pepper and a couple of
plnches of sage. When the season.

goes twice through the meat grinder
And here's our sausage-ready to
be made into cakes and fried.

into cakes and fry the entire lot. AS
fast as the cakes are fried, they are
placed in stone crock and the hot

ing sure the cakes are covered.
There must be a layer of fat over
the cakes when the hot grease has
hardened. Cover with clean cloth
and keep in cold space where the
fat will not melt.

cakes and heat, making sure the re-

the fat which has cooled down a bit
and rub it together with the same
amount of -four. Then make a
cream sauce by adding rich boiling
milk and cooking the mixture to the
desired thickness and season with
salt and pepper, if needed.
Here's another sauce: Take a cup

MERINGUE AND "RUNNY" PIES
(Thanks to Mrs9F F. G. ~, ARLINGTON.
To the ladies who are having
trouble with meringue pies and their
filings I would like to offer the
following advice: In order to keep
the meringue from collapsing, be-
coming tough and not browning in
satisfactory manner allow two
level full tablespoons sugar per egg
white. Then beat until sugar dis
solves completely. (Use room tenn
perature whites, also.)
Start spooning in the sugar when
beaten whites attain the stiff foam
stage" Add dash of salt. Jiggle
in one tablespoon sugar at a time,
beating between additions. Continue
beating until the whites are stiff
and creamy The sugar. should be
completely dissolved by now and the
meringue stand up in peaks, but
not look deep.
Cool the filling and the pie shell
before starting the meringue. If
you neglect this the fiakiest crust
will go soggy and the meringue will
go sliding when cut if it is poured
on hot filling.
Make the meringue kiss" the
crust all the way around, give it a
nice swirl and pop the pie in a
preheated moderate $3.50 degree
oven. Brown Is minutes, looking
occasionally. If the heat is lower,
meringue shrinks, but at this tenn
perature 1t remains high, fluffy and
cooks through without burning.

II Mrs. T. w. B., Woodbridge, D.

egg white add two tablespoons granu-
