Recipe Roundup

A good, substantial soup makes a
fine main course for luncheon In
summertime, being easily digested
and wonderfully nourishing without
being heavy. The Hotel Bristol in
Vienna used to be famous for q bar
ley soup that fills these requirements
to a T.
About 2 ounces OF pearl barley are
simmered-but not boiled-with 2
sliced onions, 2 sliced carrots, bay
leaf and some minced parsley in 2
quarts of chicken stock or broth for
about three hours.
Then the soup is removed from the
fire and 2 beaten egg yolks and a
cup of hot milk are added. CThese
should have been mixed previouslyD
The soup is strained carefully and
then cup of hot asparagus tips or
cooked peas are added. The soup
should be served at once, in little
bowls if you have them, for the
"peasanty" touch.
! Watermelon, well-chilled and at
just the right moment of ripeness,
really needs no glamorizing, but
sometimes for party, an extra
touch is permissible.
Perhaps one of the fanciest tricks
is this one. Cut small plug in the
bottom of melon-reaching as
| far in as the heart or core. Into
this. very slowly. pour a quart of
champagne. Substitute gingerale,
if you wish-but it must be of the
very driest varietyD Don't rush
things-let the liquor absorb grad
ually.
When the bottle is empty, put the
plug back in place and set the wa
termelon, plugged side up, in the
icebox. 1t must stay there for three
or four hours, so that the cham
pagne has chance to reach all of
the meat inside.
Serve as usual-in slices, wedges
or small balls.

which also imparts a wonderful
flavor to the fruit.
The next time you drop by your
poultry dealers, pick up II chicken
livers, to make chicken liver tim
bales.
Chop the raw livers and rub them
through sieve. Put them In pan
and add teaspoon of butter and II
teaspoon chopped onion. Cook for
about five minutes. Then take off
the heat and let cool.
Season with salt and pepper and
very little lemon juice. Add tea
spoon chopped parsley, the yolks Of
S eggs and tablespoon of bread
crumbs. Fold in the stif1y beaten
egg whites.
Grease timbale molds or a large
ring mold. Pour in the mixture,
sprinkle with crumbs and bake in a
pan half filled with hot water for
half an hour for the ring-15 min
utes for the molds.
Serve hot with a sauce made Of
condensed mushroom soup.
Baked lemon puddings make nice
little 'hnales" for a formal lunch
con or dinner and their unusual
favor is very refreshing.
Mix 3 tablespoons of -four with
y cup Of sugar and cream it into
about tablespoons of butter or sub
stitute. When very smooth, stir in
2 beaten egg yolks, tablespoon of
grated lemon peel, tablespoons of
lemon juice. Then add, gradually,
cup of rich milk.
Beat the egg whites stiff with
little salt, beating in y cup of sugar,
and fold them in lightly Pour all
into buttered custard cups and bake
in hot water in a moderate oven for
about so minutes. When done. there
should be a cakelike layer on top
of the lemon custard. Chill the lit
tie puddings thoroughly and serve
cold with lemon sauce.

to the person in authority, but
would like to make q few remarks
about the rearing and education
Of such children.
They are hard to live with and
they find us hard to live with, too.
They annoy their elders with their
pert ways, their surface knowledge.
The fact that a child knows with his
brain that the last war was fought
for the liberation Of mankind, and
can name the battles, the generals
and the heroes does not matter at
all to his elders. To those whose
heart strings have been pulled with
agony Of fear for their loved ones,
whose emotions have been stirred
to the depths. his glibness about
the war Is maddening. He thinks he
should be praised.
About this expertness in so many
fields. 1t Is not true-it cannot be
true for the same reasons, and some
added ones, that made his knowl-
edge OF the last war abysmal ignor-
ance. He cannot cover all those
fields of human activity and 20

elemental facts because he mas not
the power Of mind that living and
experience absorbed through the
years would give him. Some do not
have that kind OF mind.
When a parent has to do with
such child, when the teacher finds
him among her pupils. they should
decide upon training program
that will calm him, but still allow
him sufficient opportunity for &C
tivity and personal expression with
out causing wasted energy and
earnest effort upon which real
knowledge must be built.

CRACKLINGs.
(From E. r. w., Washington.)
I'm wondering If M. L. R. has
received her recipe for cracklines.
If not I'd like to help her-except
I'm afraid not to the extent which
she would like. But that is i'm
possible.
In the beginning, cracklings are a
by-product of the lard making proc
ess on the farm. I come from South
Georgia and have seen my mother
make lard and cracklings all my
life. Since it is by-product there
is no recipe for its authentic produc-
ton. However, I will attempt to
explain the process.
Only fresh, unsalted pork is used
since salt is unwanted in the lard.
All parts Of the carcass are used if
it is exceptionally fat. Though the
lard is taken from all excess fat.
when cracklings for home use are
desired the fat is graded before it
is cooked. The best cracklings come
from the jowls. the belly and trim
mings from the bacon and hams.
These are cut in small pieces ap-
proximately y inch by l inch on the
skin side and as thick as the layer
of fat is. Most people prefer the
cracklings that have thin layer
of lean meat In them.
When the fat is prepared it is then
cooked with very little water until
done. At home large pots holding
2 and 3 gallons of the fat are filled
to the top and only about 2 to 3
cups of cold water are added to each.
then they are lightly covered and
allowed to heat. When steaming
the covers are removed entirely and
the fat is allowed to boil, being
stirred to prevent burning. When
the lard is ready to take up, the fat
is dark brown, with the same texture
and qualities as the fat strips in
well done thinly sliced bacon.
When all the pieces of fat appear
to have all the lard cooked out of
them the pot is removed from direct
heat but kept as hot as possible.
Then all the loose lard is strained
and the fat left to drain-but only
so long as 1t takes to press it out, by
hand If good cracklings are wanted.
The lard must be taken while the
cracklings are still hot or they will
be soggy with grease. When you
have pressed the cracklings and let
them drain some more, you will have
what you want. This will have
taken from 8 to 10 hours, and at
this point you won't be interested
in just how to use those hard
earned cracklings you have just
finished-believe me, I know.
Cracklings. can be salted if de-
sired, but we always leave them
unsalted. They are used in a regular
corn pone base and served hot with
cane sirup, or honey. If you'd like
the recipe I'll have to get that from
my mother, but I'd be glad 10.
