After the nurse had gone, Mama rose from

took the huge paw that lay outside the cover

Stuffed
Pepper

A very unusual affair is stuffed
pepper, chilli style"-a bit on the
exotic side and a splendid dish for a
buffet supper.
If you can get fresh or canned
chilli peppers, so much the better.
If not, ordinary green or red sweet
peppers will have to do. Cut the
hbers and seeds out OF the peppers,
salt them, invert them and set them
aside to drain.
When ready to go to work on
them, stuff them we'll with soft
American cheese, well mashed with
a fork. Beat 6 eggs together with a
little salt, dip the peppers in this
and fry them in deep fat until they
are light brown. Just before
serving, pour this sauce over them:
Brown little chopped onion and
nubbin of chopped garlic in little
butter. Blend the same amount of
flour as you have of fat with the

Friday, when George Wash
ington's Birthday is celebrated once
again, the traditional dessert in
houses all over this country will be
featured-cherry pie. But if you
are tired of the regular cherry pie,
why not try a variation on the
theme?
Here Is one that always has
proved popular around our house:
Get a can of the big luscious Bing
cherries, drain them and carefully
remove the pits. Line a baked pie
shell with them and pour over all
glass of melted currant jelly.
Top this with whipped cream and
set 1t to chill in the icebox. The
jelly will CONCEAL to just the right
consistency and the blend of fla
vors is something exquisite. Gnci-
dentally, the most wonderful little
cherry tarts are made just like this,
If you don't like to serve a big pie.
You still can use the whipped cream
or at the last moment, you can top
each tart with a spoonful of va
nilla ice creamO
Another nice idea we've seen
used, really gets away from the pie
idea, but still keeps the cherry
theme in there punching. It's
pretty and it's quick. Just make up
a nice batch of gingerbread from
your favorite recipe or with one of
the grand mixes that are so easy
to use, bake in fiat cake and,
when done, cut into squares. Top
each square with a long -stemmed
maraschino cherry, set on a dab
of whipped cream and serve hot.
This has a distinction all its own
that is new and refreshing.
Then there's a cherry-rice des-
sert that is good-except for the
fact that it uses quite bit of sugar.
Put II cup of uncooked rice into a
double boiler with cups of milk
and let cook until the rice is tender.
Beat up 2 eggs, add a cup of sugar
and stir or fold into the rice. Cook
q while longer until the mixture
thickens. Then take from the heat
and add 2 cups of tart red canned
or frozen cherries. Let cool and
then place in the freezing tray, top
ping with layer of whipped cream
and a garnish of whole cherries.
Leave in the freezing compartment
only just long enough to set the
cream. The mixture must not be
really frozen. This is delicious and
could be served with macaroons
topped with bits of candied cher
ries and citron.
Here's fine basic gingerbread
recipe:
Evening star., 1946-02-20

the rice has cooked for about 20
minutes 1t should be drained and
set in the warm oven to swell up
and dry thoroughly.
A basic jambalaya is made az
follows:
Cut a pound Of fresh pork into
thin strips or small square pieces.
Chop up 2 onions, mince a couple
of cloves Of garlic and prepare some
chopped thyme, parsley and a cou-
pie OF bay leaves. Put table,
spoon of butter into a pan and
brown the onions and pork slowly.
Now add l slice of ham, chopped
fine, and the garlic. Then add the
herbs and a dash of ground cloves.
Let all this brown about five min
utes more and then put in dozen
small pork sausages. Add quarts
Of broth, stock or water, let cook
for 10 minutes and, when 1t starts
boiling hard, add one-half tea
spoon Of chilli and dash of cayenne.
Cook for half an hour longer and
pour over fluffy boiled rice before
serving.
A shrimp jambalaya is made al
hAOoe WAC CdulC way ChCCpt tIldt LIlo
Sausages are omitted and boiled
shelled shrimp are substituted.
This is a very rich dish. Some
Creole cooks add tomatoes, peeled
and cut up, to their shrimp jam
balaya. Crab meat also can be
used instead of shrimp and so can
lobster. When this is done, it is
well not to let the jambalaya cook
too long after the lobster or crab
meat Cooked, of course, in advance
has been added, for these tend to
fall to pieces under too much boil
ing.
An odd sort of dish is a "jam-
balaya au congri" This calls for
one-half pound of salt meat, cut in
dice, and a small piece of ham.
These are boiled with a pint of cow
peas and onion, minced fine.
After the meat is tender and the
peas are cooked-they should be
quite moist-they are poured over
boiled rice and for a final touch,
given a dab Of butter and a sprinkle
Of pepper at the table. This is
quite a substantial country" con-
coction and particularly enjoyed by
men who work in the fields or at
heavy outdoor tasks on the Louisi-

BOY VS.. GIRL.

STORING WEDDING GOWN?
(From Mrs. J. w. c., Greenbelt, Nd
First may I heartily agree with
Mrs. j. w. c. of Kensington, Md?
I never believed it possible that
there could be such a great differ
ence between boy and girl and
their actions. My girl is four and
my boy nearly two. He is regular
pest and tease from morning til
night. He gets into more mischief
in five minutes than the girl ever
did. He delights in taking the girls
toys and running away with them
just to hear her scream. then he
gives them back just to try some
thing different. He is also a lot
more destructive than the girl and
already tries to see what makes
things work.
Now for a question. Can any one
tell me how to store my wedding
gown and veil so that my daughter
will be able to use it? Is there
some special way to pack 1t, or
just what? My dress is ivory faille
and the veil is of illusion.
