TryCalves'
Cheeks

If YOU and your favorite butcher
come to an impaSSe one OF these
days, what with scarcities and ra-
tioning problems, it will repay you
to stray from the usual beaten track
of marketing and investigate some OF
the foreign quarters that cater to
tastes brought from other lands
For example, most Kosher or Latin
markets carry calves cheeks, which
many people consider real deli
cacy and which are apt to cost lit
tie.
About six calves cheeks will weigh
three pounds. Ask the butcher to
clean them and flatten them like
veal outlets. Also get him to cut
off any tastebuds or bits of skin. Salt
and pepper them, dot with bacon
drippings and a bit of mustard and
give them a dash of Worcestershire
or some similar table sauce.
Squeeze the juice of couple of
oranges and lemon over the
cheeks, and sprinkle them with bit
of the mixed grated rinds Roast
the cheeks for 10 minutes or so,
turn them over, dot them with more
drippings and mustard and roast
10 more minutes
Keep turning and basting the meat
while it is cooking-about another
10 to Is minutes should suffice. Serve
the cheeks with the pan juices and
perhaps a bit of watercress dressed
with mustard and vinegar.

This year, with sugar on the
scarce side, we'll have to be extra
careful about using it too lavishly or
carelessly in our long, tall ones"
The best way to avoid waste is to
make up sweetening sirup in a
batch and store it in the icebox, to
be used little at time as needed.
You can use either the usual
sugar. water and crushed mint sirup
or you can eliminate the sugar al

Mix y cup honey with "a cup

bruised mint leaves. Put in a COW

Using Giblets
By The Victory Chef

Very often one sees the large
chain markets-and the smaller
stores, too, for that matter-adver-
tising turkey livers, hearts and giz-
yards. These, I understand, come
from some of the big plants en-
gagged in dressing the birds in huge
quantities. A reader has written in
to ask what is good way to pre-
pare these giblets.
First, why not giblet pie? With
a rich, thick gravy and crumbly
pastry top, this would present a de-
lightful dish. Also the livers could
be cut in small pieces and cooked
en- brochette on skewers as you
would chicken livers. A giblet sand
wich is good-the giblets are chopped
fine after being sauteed in fat and
little chopped onion and minced
parsley are added to them A sea-
soning of cayenne and a dash of
salt-spread the mixture on hot
toast and there's fine luncheon
dish
The Chinese cut giblets into small
slces-Very thln-and Saute them
with little sliced onion in some
fat. They add cup of sliced mush-
rooms and, a bit later cup of sliced
water chestnuts. The mixture is
cooked for about six or seven min
utes and then thickened with a ta-
blespoon of flour that has been
blended with a tablespoon of soy
sauce and one of vinegar. This con-
coction can be served with rice or
with noodles.
For an unusual appetizer, simmer
turkey livers in a little stock OF
bouillon for 20 minutes or so, until
they are tender. Put the iivers
through grinder with a couple OF
small onions and Glove of garlic
Mash into smooth paste and sea-
son with lemon juice, salt and fresh.

REMOVING WALL PAPER.
From Mrs. W. F. H., Alexandra,
Vd.)
We mixed a solution of regular
wallpaper paste in a bucket of hot
water. We then proceeded to satu-
rate the paper around the whole
room with this solution, using a
regular paper hangers brush. BY
the time We finished saturating the
fourth wall, the first one was ready
to be peeled off. We got 1t started
with a sharp spatula, and the thor
ough soaking seems to be the Sc
cret in getting it to peel off easily
Water alone dries too quickly, and
the paste mixture soaks in better

be as successful as we were.

slowly and firmly raise the child

use liquid shampoo q use a soap

her head slightly back so the water
won't run down her face. Have a
towel or cloth at hand ready to mop
