RECIPES OFFERED.
From Mrs. J. II. K. Washington
Here are a couple of recipes re-
Gently requested:
Creole Hamburg-One medium
onion, sliced; 2 tablespoons
chopped green pepper, 2 tablespoons
shortening, l pound chopped or
ground round steak, l cup con-
densed tomato soup. cup hot wa
ter, u teaspoon salt, 2 cups cooked
rice.
Melt the shortening in a frying
pan, add the sliced ogiion and green
pepper, and cook slowly until soft.
Add the steak and stir until the
meat is thoroughly separated and
slightly Drowned. Add the canned
tomato soup, water, salt and rice.
cover the pan and cook for about
20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
I just thought of another recipe
similar to the foregoing which is
also very good:
Creole Spaghetti Three-quar-
tiers cup spaghetti, 11a cups strained
tomatoes, u cup chopped onion, q
pound ground meat, teaspoon salt,
3 tablespoons shortening, l1a table
spoons flour.
Cook spaghetti. Fry chopped
onion in shortening, add flour and
tomato, stirring constantly until
cooked. Fry meat in frying pan,
combine with strained spaghetti, to-
mato sauce and meat. Two table,
spoons grated cheese may be added.
Now to the Dessert Department.
Rice Pudding-One and one-fourth
cups cooked rice, 2 eggs, "a cup
raisins, 70 teaspoon cinnamon or
nutmeg. u teaspoon salt, " cup
sugar, 2 cups milk.
Separate the whites and yolks
OF the eggs, add to the yolks
tablespoons of the milk and place
the rest of the milk on the fire in a
double boiler. Put the raisins in the
milk and cook until soft (about Is
minutes). Add the rice, cook
minutes longer, then stir in the
yolks Of the eggs and the salt, sugar
and spice. Stir well, cook for or
minutes, remove from the fire and
pour into casserole. Beat the whites
of the eggs light, add l tablespoon
powdered sugar, spread the me-
ringue on top of the pudding and
brown delicately in the oven. Serve
cold. This pudding may also be
made by adding whole eggs and
baking without meringue.
Some time ago lady complained
of having trouble with cream puffs
not rising. I believe I have acci-
dentally discovered the reason, be-
cause the last time I made them the
same thing happened. They didn't
rise and there was a mess OF gooey
dough inside that had to be scooped
out. It was the first time had had
that trouble and the first time
had failed to take time to measure
the butter. I believe that too much
butter was the cause of the failure.
Having eggs at room temperature
and chilling the batter for an hour
or two will also help to insure light
tender cream puffs.

From Mrs. L. L. c., Takoma Park J
For Mrs. A. C. G., who complained
of holes in clothing made by some
thing other than moths, may I sug-
gest that the trouble may be caused
by silverfish? I was greatly per-
picked over the same problem and
I found this to be my answer. Usu-
ally the silverfish eat a spot of
starch or grease out of cloth which
leaves hole, of course. They are
sly little pests who slip under the
Dashboard or out of sight in a hurry.
1t is difficult to find them. One
may call the Department of Agri-

cation.
