Report to the Housewife

Most plentiful and reasonably
priced vegetables this week are as
paragus from New Jersey and Del
aware and more Of that delicious
Golden Bantam corn from Florida
and Texas. We've given you num-
Der of different asparagus recipes in
the past few Ueeks-So, If you
clipped and filed them, you should
have plenty of ideas for varying the
serving Of the succulent green
stalks. There's no reason for let
ting them become monotonous-and
their season Is relatively SO short
that most of us like to make full
use of them while they are avail
able.
In addition to that corn pudding
we suggested last week, If you have
leftover corn, or are tired of Serv-
ing 1t on the cob, there are corn
cakes, corn fritters, corn souffie and
smooth cream, Of corn soup or
chowder.
Other highly recommended "plen-
tifuls" include fine peas from Cali
fornia, firm Iceberg lettuce, crisp
young celery. Tomatoes are espe-
cially fine, just right for slicing and
using as a salad with the lettuce.
Best OF all, you don't have to use
precious olive oil on them - just
sprinkle them with salt, pepper,
some basil or thyme, and pour a
good wine vinegar over them. Let
them stand in the icebox for an
hour or so before serving to absorb
the full flavor Of the herbs. Or
stun them with celery and cucum-
Der, mixed with boiled salad dress
ing. And they are good stuffed with
corn and baked, too. New potatoes
are also good buys-use them freely,
as the early crop does not store well.
Just q few other items that merit
your attention-cucumbers, onions,
wonderful watercress, snap beans,
cabbage and all kinds of greens.
