Report to the Housewife

The North wind shall blow and We
shall have snow" but In Wash
ington markets one can find the il
lusion of summer days. Excellent
fresh corn from Texas, salmon pink
rhubarb from California, tiny new
potatoes from Florida-perfect in
gradients for a May-in-December
dinner. And, too, there are Golden
Delicious apples, as well as the red
ones, little lady apples, kumquats
ayocadoS, beautiful orange persim-
mons, pomegranates and sugarloaf
pineapples. Bananas appear from
time to time-although supplies are
no means steady; prickly pears, CO.
conuts, figs, stem raisinS and dates
lend an exotic touch.
Citrus fruits are flooding the mar
kets-especially grapefruit. There
are good oranges-although few of
the table variety have been seen as
yet-tangerines, small but of won-
derful fiavor-plenty of lemons and
a few lines. TRY alternating the
customary breakfast orange juice
with fresh grapefruit juice-youu
find the change is as good as it is
good 1or you.
In plus" supply we find peas, snap
beans, beets, carrots, cabbage, cauli-
flower, celery root (celeriac), celery,
eggplant, iceberg lettuce, onions, po-
tatoes of all kinds, green peppers,
spinach and other greens, and to-
matoes. Only light shipments of
brussels sprouts, broccoli, escarole,
garden lettuce, squash, and mush-
rooms are being received. Lima
beans are practically out of the
picture, along with okra and Gu
cumbers. There are nice leeks and
pots of chives about, and some mar
kets are offering kohlrabi from To-
cal sources.
The meat situation seems to be
about the same as last week, with
forequaterS of beef and veal the
most prevalent cuts. More fresh
pork is coming in, and there is
some lamb to be had Reports indi-
cate that bacon and hams will also
be a bit more plentiful this week
end. There is plenty Of sausage
both in link and in bulk.
Butter continues very scarce, with
Its competitor, margarine, IN ade-
quate supply Other fats and oils
are hard to f1nd-as you undoubtedly
know-although some lard is avail
able for shortening purposes. Eggs
are still scarce, small and high.
Cheese continues hard to get in
many markets.
Porgies, croakers, sea bass, rock
fish and fresh founder, along with
Spanish mackerel, are recommended
for that fish dinner. There are nice
fillets of cod, founder, haddock,
perch and mackerel also on hand
Oysters, cooked shrimp and crab
meat, with few Holsters and lob
ster tails round out the fish lineup.
