will bring him to Minneapolis.
Is Now Appreciated
For many years Tatum has
earned unqualified praise Of other
musicians, classical and jazz alike,
but he worked for only minor COM
pensation. But slowly his music, at
first appreciated only by the dis
corning, began to catch on, and
suddenly a Tatum vogue devel-
oped.
He now has become the highest
priced artist in places featuring
jazz music, and is soon to enter the
movies. Already a leader in the
night club and recording fields,
films and the concert stage offer
him new fields for development.
FavOrite of Gershwin
A favorite of the late George
Gershwin, he hopes to emulate
Gershwin in investing jazz with
dress-up embellishments. Tatum's
forte, however, has been in devel-
oping other mems melodies to their
highest degree, giving them a pol
ish which in many cases the COM
poser hasn't thought possible.
Tatum will be brought to Mime
apolis by C. C. Mikes Of Greater
Minneapolis Attractions. Tickets

Somebody once said that they
wished man would invent another
animal-the same meats get SO
monotonous! Much the same wish
can be made regarding vegetables
seems as II the round of beans, car
rots, peas, onions, potatoes, ETC.,
is as inevitable as death and
taxes. Only when scarcity pops up
are we really interested in making
new acquaintances in the vegetable
field.
This is too bad, for there are a
number OF products that are IA
miliar to few of us, but completely

we learned to cook and like these
little strangers, we would add i'm
measurably to the variety and in
terest of our meals.
For instance, do you know much
about fennel? If you are Of Italian
descent, you probably are well ac-
quainted with the pungent stuff,
but If not, you may pass 1t by in
many a market stall. The English
use the leaves only to favor sauce
for fish or to form garnish. Ital-
ians know how good the white bulb
is and that it contains a succulent
heart beneath its onion-like layers.
The bulb may be cooked, after be-

Here's One Answer

A substantial luncheon for the
family without too much bother is
the dream of every hon>emaker.
Three hearty meals each day are
especially important when there are
children in the family. So to save
time, the smart cook plans a meal
in-one dish that can be served in
the same dish in which it is cooked.
Rice, noodles, macaroni and other
cereal products are all excellent
foods to combine with leftovers,
especially when well-seasoned
white sauce or cheese sauce is used
as part of the dish.
Rice cooked in milk may be the
basis for many escalloped main
dishes as well as simple nourishing
desserts. While polished rice itself
is limited in the nutrients which it
supplies, the addition of milk, eggs,
vegetables, meats or fish improves
Its food value materially.
A substantial savory rice and egg
casserole may be prepared IN a
heavy iron or pottery skillet and
can be served from it at the table.
The addition of tomato slices to the
dish, eliminates the necessity Of
preparing a separate cooked vege-
table. Serve this one-dish meal for
luncheon, or for dinner, adding a
crisp green salad, bread, butter, a
fruit dessert and milk.

Terrapin, Maryland
Bv Cas,reH adams

In the opinion of gentlemen who
regard themselves as true connois-
seurs in the realm of food, one OF the
choicest and most elegant dishes is
terrapin a la Maryland. Since Co.
lonial days, terrapin has been a
superparty dish-one which was
served to persons of great impor-
tance, with all the panoply the
cook and buffers could devise.
Old sets of china, made abroad
especially for the rich planters,
often included special plates for
terrapin-much like a soup plate,
but deeper in the bowl and with
less rim. There were "tureens,
too, for just this one purpose, and
! have seen in an old Maryland
home a set of spoons designed with
little terrapins on the handles that
were made to order back in the
good old days.
The diamond back is considered
the best terrapin for eating pur-
poses, but there are other, less ex-
pensive varieties that do well
enough for the average diner.
Terrapin is easy enough to cook,
once the meat has been gotten out
of the shell, but that is quite a job
in itself. For the small kitchen
operative, 1t is suggested that the
use of the meat that comes ready
prepared in jelly in large jars will
prove simplest. This prepared ter
rapin is expensive, too, Of course
but does save a great deal of time
and trouble.
However, If you we're about to
start serving terrapin from scratch
as it were, this is how one goes
about the job:
The terrapin must be alive when
bought and alive when dropped
into boiling water. 1t is scalded
for five minutes and then all the
skin is removed with a rough towel
The claws are clipped off and the
shell carefully cleaned.
Then the terrapin is again put into
boiling water and allowed to simmer
for about an hour and a half OF
until tender. It cools in the same
water. When cool, the shells are
broken apart, and the meat, liver
and eggs, If any, are removed care
fully. The gall bladder must be dis
carded, taking great care not tc

from cocoa, but I have not seen
any response. Hence, I feel that
must send the one I have used for
some time. and with unfailing sue
cess.

3 cups granulated sugar, l cup and
tablespoons cocoa equivalent to
squares unsweetened chocolate), 7
tablespoons butter (or half butter
and half margarine), / teaspoon va

Make sirup of sugar and milk,
bringing it to hoil. Dissolve cocoa
by stirring gradually into the sirup.
Let boil for 10 minutes and then
add butter Continue boiling slowly
until soft ball stage is reached. q
find using candy thermometer is
much less trouble than the dropping
into-cold-w water method) Remove
from stove and place pan. in cold
water, keeping until bottom of pan
can pe touched with the hand Stir
in vanilla and beat until fudge is
fairly thick, but easily poured. Pour
into pan and allow to harden so
that it may be cut into squares.
| Also let me pass on a tip for max
ing margarine into q solid cake after
coloring it. Simply return the mar
garine to the waxed paper and box
in which it came, and put it in the
refrigerator. This will make q nice
cake that can be cut in any way
you choose.
