BOeuf a Ia Mode
BY the Vfcforv Chef

The French have a wonderful
way with a pot roast-even to Civ
ing it an elegant name such as
"boeuf a la mode" 1t Is one of the
incest Of all Of these hearty dishes,
and can be served "for company"
without apology. In fact, one res
taurant in prewar Paris made it a
specialize de la maison. They served
it with a great flourish of walters,
uncovering of platters and an anxi-
GUS lowering about by the maitre
d'hotel, awaiting the inevitable
word of praise. Usually a simple
green salad was served with the
meat, and a favorite dessert was a
delicate lemon souffie.
To prepare "boeuf a la mode" get
the butcher to give you a nice piece
OF rump beef, trim it neatly, beat
1t with mallet to tenderize it and
roll it compactly. 1t should be
larded here and there with strips
OF salt pork that have been rolled
In salt and pepper.
Three or four small onions are
put into a deep pan-they should
be peeled and cut in quarters-with
a few bacon rinds, a teaspoon of
sugar, an herb bouquet of parsley,
thyme and sage, and a calls foot,
nicely cleaned. The beef, which has
been quickly scared in hot fat, goes
Evening star., 1945-09-13

into the saucepan or kettle, too.
Now a glass of dry red wine is add
ed and enough meat stock or bouil-
lon to reach just about two-thirds
OF the way up the meat. This is all
brought to boil, and then allowed
to simmer with the lid on, for as
much as three hours. The meat
must be turned from time to time.
At the end of the three hours take
out the meat and the calfs foot.
The gravy Is strained, checked for
seasoning, then returned to the pan
with the meat and calf's foot, and
a few pearl onions and slices of
carrot. Drowned in butter, are added.
This is allowed to just barely sim.
mer for two more hours and must
be watched to see that the liquid
does not evaporate A little clear
boullon may be added if necessary.
When the meat is done, 1t is put
into a deep without the calf's
foot, which has done its duty-and
the vegetables and gravy are poured
over it. Delicious!
If there is any left over, which is
doubtful, cut the meat in slices so
that they will lie fiat on dish, and
pour the sauce all over them. Put
them into the ice box. and you will
find next day a lovely dish of meat
in jelly-all due to that powerful
little calf'S foot

KEEPING FRUITCAKES?
From Mrs. L. M. Y, Arlington.

(From Mrs. L. M. Y, Arlington
I have read a number of requests
in the Clearing House which seem
to be very helpful, so I would ap-
preciate it very much if you could
help me find out how to keep fruit
cakes from year to year. l have been
told by some that in the "Old Coun-
try" they have been able to preserve
them from year to year without any
trouble. I have been baking fruit
cakes for 5 or 6 years during the
holiday seasons and have always
kept two or three on hand from
month to month, and I have been
successful in keeping them well pre-
served.
This is my method in keeping my
fruitcakes:
After they are baked and left to
cool, l take cloth and put inside
a cake tin. I set cake inside and
cover with cloth and the lid. A
month elapses and l then remove
the top to pour wine or brandy on
top of the cake The amount I use
is a cup of either that have on
hand at that time. I repeat that
method again in two or three
months. Then, when the weather
gets warm or hot, I may moisten
once or twice or maybe not at all,
as they remain moist long time in
an alright tin.
But this year, for some reason,
when I looked at my fruitcakeS,
which were 3. weighing over 7
pounds each, one was covered on

can thus prolong your tomato sea-
son by several weeks. Peaches
and cream are a reality now, with
the heavy peach crop and the re-
lease of whipping cream. Use them
in many combinations for flavor,
vitamin and energy content. One
of the best consists of sliced peaches
in gelatin, topped with whipped
cream-and of course peach short
cake can't be beat! :. Heaviest on
record demand for margarine, says
a release, was reflected in an all
time peak production by manufac-
turers, despite fats and oils search
ties in the fiscal year ended June 80,
l945. g. Pillow washing is recon-
mended twice year for sure clean
liness, so it is good news to the
housewife who has been struggling
with the job herself, that soon more
and more laundries will be equipped
to resume this service, according to
the American Institute of Launder-
ing. :. It will probably be the first
of the year before pillows of prewar
quality are to be found in the stores
When they are they will bear labels
stating their exact contents. For
average use and price the best pill
low Is one filled with domestic goose
feathers, inclosed in Bounce twill
ticking. q. For brand-new house
keepers: Don't overlook the old
trick of soaking plates and silver
ware stained with egg in COLD
water for as long as possible while
you do other household chores.
Then when you're ready to wash the
dishes, you'll find the egg comes off
with no scrubbing. Hot water sets
egg and makes it stubborn. I can
remember once when I was little
that my mother gave me an egg
shampoo-the rinse water was too
hot-and was THAT a mess!

Tropical Pineapple Pie

Here is the pie you'll want to
serve the evening your husband
brings his boss home to dinner.
Pineapple Filling-One No. 2 can
crushed pineapple and sirup, 4 cup
sugar, u teaspoon salt, table
spoons corn starch, 4 cup cold wa
ter. Combine the pineapple, u cup
sugar and salt, heat over direct
heat to the boiling point, add the
corn starch that has been dis
solved in the 4 cup water. Cook
until thick and clear, remove from
fire and cool.
Cream Filling-Two cups milk, 4.
cup sugar, u teaspoon salt, table
spoons corn starch, 4 cup cold milk,
3 egg yolks. 4 teaspoon vanilla, 3
teaspoons butter. Combine the milk,
sugar and salt and heat to the boil
ing point, and add the corn starch
that has been dissolved in the cold
milk, cook over direct heat until
thick and smooth, stir constantly to
avoid scorching. Remove from fire
and all slightly beaten egg yolks,
vanilla and when thoroughly blend

Honey Continued

anity. The shape of the papal
tiara is said to be derived from an
old-fashioned beehive.
Honey came in for its share of
superstitions and traditions. In
some countries a string was dipped
in honey and tied around the fruit
trees to insure heavy crop. 1t was
a sin against Mary and Joseph who
fed the Christ Child to refuse honey
to child-but to send honey to a
dying person was bad luck. Some
people believed that where there
were honey and bees lightning
would never strike. In Egypt, in
every marriage contract the bride
groom had to promise to supply his
bride with a certain amount of
honey every year. In fact, in most
of the old countries honey played
an important part in the ritual of
marriage. The term honeymoon"
comes from an ancient custom when
the bride and groom were accus-
toned to eat honey and drink mead
throughout the first four weeks of
their married life. The v. c."

Here and There: Tests have
shown that 1t is the air trapped in
jars or cans that destroys much of
the Vitamin c in tomato Juice.
Processing juice in jarsIs, therefore
recommended, because it helps drive
out the air. The old method of
heating juice = in an open kettle,
pouring into jars and sealing with
out further processing is not only
risky from the spoilage standpoint
but is also wasteful of c because it
allows extra air to be canned with
the juice. :. In storing root vege-

cheese of any kind, except the
processed type, some smoked cheese
and cottage and cream cheese. The

supply. There is plenty of butter
and adequate margarine. Eggs
in all grades are easier, and whip !

by almost every dairy stall. Oils

tinue hard to get, along with soap
powders and flakes
All scale fish, with the exception
of croakers Il know that will break

week end; Boston mackerel, trout
and spot are expected to be espe-
cially abundant. There is some
swordflsh on hand and a meager
shipment of Kennebec salmon, but
little or no halibut. Soft shell crabs
are at luxury prices, as are Holsters
and hard crabs Cooked and raw
shrimp will be in good supply, as
will crab meat of all quality. oysters

merchants express the hope that
with labor shortages disappearing,
they will soon be able to offer both

old days. They also hope to see
the return of scallops. Filleted fish
are relatively limited, we are told.
The first Spanish mackerel are COM

In the produce line, everybody's
happy. There is plenty of every

Pursuing further our research
into honey and its history, which
we started last week, we find that
wild honey hunting was an ancient
a sport as hunting and fishing All
sorts of tricks were resorted to to
rob the wild hives of their precious
sweet.
Many hunters used the simple
expedient of following the return
ing bees until they entered the hive
professional" bee keepers and tree
climbers were pressed into service to
ferret out honeycombs The finder
of hive had the right to mark the
tree or stump with his initials, and
any poaching on his preserves was
summarily punished by fine, or, in
Germany, 20 laShes and a whopping
fine beside. Sounds familiar, doesn' t
it?) Certain birds guided hunters
to bees nests, and were rewarded
with a bit of the honey for their
pains.
In the Middle Ages, honey hunt
Ing was a royal sport, just as chas-
Ing the stag or hunting the boar
were kingly amusements. In myth
ology honey hunting drew the at
tention of fauns and satyrs. Hunt
ers in the widest forests sometimes
had to compete with bears for the
spoils-usually the bears Won All
sorts of hunting tales and legends
abound In countries where honey
has been an essential food for CEN
turies. In the pioneer days of
America honey hunting was profit
