St.Patriick's
Dinner

By the Chef

A reader has asked me to suggest
a dinner for st. Patrick,s Day that
will bespeak the occasion In its color
and type of foods. As green and
white are the motif for the good
saints day and as Ireland is the
patron land of its observance, we
shall have to take both into con-
sideration.
This Is to be a stag dinner-and
therefore, any attempt at dainty"
decorations and dishes is out. Start
ing from there, we'll take first q
plain white tablecloth and we'll beg.
borrow or steal pots of shamrock
to group together as centerptece-
maybe arranged in the shape OF a
harp. The candles, If any, will be
green and stuck into other pots Of
shamrock. There1l be some clay
pipes around and maybe some
Paddy" hats filled with green and
white candy. (Men love candy, so
this isn't q concession to fussiness)
If the dinner is big enough for place
cards, appropriate ones can be
picked up at almost any stationer's.
Now for the menu. Either green
turtle or cream of spinach soup
would make a good start. The spin
ach makes greener soup than does
the turtle, but the latter Is the fan
ciest and most men like it better
because it has sherry in it. For the
fish course we might pick flllets of
sole, poached in white wine and
served with little potato balls rolled
in parsley and thinly sliced cucum-
bers in French dressing.
The main dish would consist Of
"Paddy's pig"-a crown roast OF
roast of pork, with emerald green
peas heaped in the center. AS an
edible garnish use quarters Of ap-
pie, stewed gently SO as not to lose
their shape and tinted green with
vegetable coloring. If another vege-
table Is desired, caulihower would
be good choice.
Salad Is easy-avocado slices, on
crisp romaine, with cream cheese
balls rolled in chopped chives.
For dessert, there is always pista-
chic ice cream-but lots of people
don't like it, Perhaps lime ice
would be better or a combination of
pineapple and lime ice. The cakes,
of course, are a cinch-they can be
iced in white and green and, If
bought from a fancy caterer. can
be decorated with appropriate senti-
ments.
And after the coffee, creme de
menthe frappe- rounding out the
perfect color scheme and a delicious
dinner!

Ginger
Rnsse

A short while ago dined with a
friend in Philadelphia, who de-
lighted me with this delectable des-
sert-Ginger Charlotte Russo. She
said it was a family recipe, but
handed it over like a good sport
when begged for it.
It's definitely dinner party fare:
Beat 3 egg yolks with " cup OF
sugar until they are good and light.
Have soaking a tablespoon Of gela-
ton in 2 tablespoons of cold wa
ter. When the egg yolks are about
ready, dissolve the gelatin in u CUP
of scalded milk and pour this over
the beaten yolks.
Now whip up / pint of heavy
cream and fold in the egg and gela-
ton mixture when 1t has cooled q
bit. Stir in about ss cup Of pre-
served ginger, chopped, with /;
tablespoons of the ginger sirup and
one Of vanilla.
Line 2-quart mold with lady
fingers or macaroons which have
been dipped in the ginger sirup and
pour in half the cream mixture
Then add q layer of the macaroons
or lady y-f1ngers, then the rest of the
cream. Set on ice to chill.
When ready to serve, unmold
carefully, and spread the top with
grated macaroonS or lady fingers
and chopped crystallized ginger. G.

Plnnked Shad Delicious

fheapS OF cooked asparagus. Serve as
is or with hollandaise sauce If you
want to gid the lily. To me, shad Is
too good to need fancy sauce.
Shad also can be stuffed and
baked. It is wonderful when stuffed
simply with cooked shrimp, oysters,
or oyster crabs-the last, unhappily,
are almost impossible to get these
days, except In the fanciest fish
markets. If you wish, use a simple
poultry stufnng.
Season the fish with salt and pep
per, stuff and sew up. Put strips OF
bacon on top of the fish, pour little
water into a roasting pan and put
the fish in. Let it bake in a moderate
oven for about an hour and a hall,
basting occasionally. Remove the fish
from the pan and make a gravy by
adding to the pan juices table
spoon of catsup, a tablespoon of
flour, rubbed in smooth with a little
butter, the juice of one lemon and
salt and pepper to taste. Pour over
the fish and serve.
Thin sandwiches of brown or
wholewheat bread with cucumbers in
mayonnaise spiked with q little
horseradish are wonderful to coun-
teract the rather rich texture and
flavor of the shad.
Evening star., 1946-03-14

With the shad season going great
guns and getting better all the time,
we can indulge our taste for this
finest of fish in any number OF
ways. One Of the incest is planked
shad and you should be able to get
planks once more in the housewares
department of any good store. Like
a salad bowl Of wood, a plank i'm
proves with age and use.
Preheat the plank in the oven,
brush it with olive oil and fasten
the cleaned, headed, split shad on
it, skin side down. If you are cooking
a rae shad, plank the roe with the
fish. Put in a hot oven and baste
often with little melted butter and
lemon juice. Lower the temperature
after the first three or four minutes
and cook for 20 minutes.
Take the fish and plank from the
oven, border the plank with hot
mashed potatoes, brushed with the
beaten yolk of an egg mixed with a
couple of tablespoons of milk. Re-
turn plank, fish and potatoes to
oven and let brown for 6 to 8 min
utes.
Sprinkle the fish with salt and
pepper, spread with creamed butter,
mixed with chopped parsley and
garnish the plank with wedges of
raw tomatoes and lemon and little

made of melted chocolate chips and
topped with tablespoon of whipped
cream if desired.
There are infinite varieties to this.
White cake can be used mixed with
shredded pineapple or fresh berries
and can be served with more crushed
and sweetened berries or served
plain with your favorite sauce.
I save all my end crusts of bread,
odd leftover dinner rolls and slices
of bread. I take them from the
bread box before they mold and let
them thoroughly dry on the open
shelf for day or so and store in a
paper bag, where they will keep for
weeks even months, without dete-
riorating. Then I use them for but
tered crumbs on top of my casserole
dishes, poultry or meat dressing, not
forgetting the leftover pieces of corn

Mornay
Sauce

With Lent now well under way,
1t is helpful to suggest to you some
appetizing, but meatless, dishes.
Eggs, vegetables and cheese
spring to mind and q good sauce
will do wonders for the first two.
especially II the third item Is
among its ingredients.
Let us, therefore, observe q
Cheese Mornay Sauce.
Make . roux of 2 tablespoons
cooking oil or fat. such as butter
or margarine, and 2 tablespoons
OF flour, blending well. Add, very
gradually q cup OF scalded milk.
" teaspoon Of salt, q dash Of cay
enne and one Of nutmeg. Stir
constantly. Then add table,
spoons Of grated Parmesan cheese
or, II you can't get that, u cup Of
American cheese, grated Or cut in
small bits. Stir until the cheese
Is melted and the sauce 8 smooth
and creamy. Check for seasoning
and pour hot over vegetable
plates Or egg dishes.

TheCr:ystal
Ball

Meal planning for the Washing
ton housewife will be still further
simplified in 1916 with the appear
ance on local grocery shelves OF a
variety of foods never before avail
able in canned form.
Throughout the war years food
scientists were busy perfecting new
canning techniques which will pro-
vide whole new array of packaged
foods as soon as more tin for the
manufacture of cans is available,
according to Miss Isabel Young, di-
rector of the home economics Sec
ton of the American Can Co.
Many of the new canned foods
were developed to provide the Allied
armed forces with q more varied,
easily shipped diet. Others were in
process of research before the war
and have since been perfected, ac-
cording to Miss Young.
Added to the usual list Of prewar
seafood favorities-canned shrimp,
lobster, salmon and tuna fish-will
be q wide variety of new items, In
cluding seafood salads, which need
only to be chilled as preliminary
to serving. The delicate Geisha
crabs, formerly canned only In Ja-
pan and unavailable after Pearl
Harbor, are now being canned in
Alaska for the first time.
Perhaps the greatest increase in
variety, Miss Young continues, will
be in the meat line with entirely
new combinations Of ham and raisin
sauce, ham and candied sweet po-
tatoes, beef and gravy, pork and
applesauee, pork patties and chicken
stew with feather-light dumplings.
Such items as jellied fruit salads,
fruit cakes and crepe suzettes viii
round out q canned meal not avail
able in prewar years.
Several years ago American Can
scientists developed q revolutionary
new process known as "high-short, !"
which means processing canned
foods at q high temperature for q
short period. Its purpose is to re-
duce drastically the cooking or steri-
lization time Of liquids or semi
liquids which in turn produce better

Have you gOb tuat llSt OF lOO0 con-
servation suggestions issued by
President Truman's Famine Emer-
gency Committee carefully tackled
on your kitchen wall? We hope you
clipped it from The Star when it ap-
peared, and studied 1t carefully.
Let's note again the salient points
for housewives:
Prevent the waste OF bread. Use
1ess bread at each meal. Use substi-
tutes or alternates for bread, such
as potatoes, oats, etc. Replace cakes
and pastries with fruits and other
desserts. Use less wheat cereals and
other wheat products. Save on fats
by using meat drippings as much as
you possibly can. Make boiled dress
tngs instead Of oil dressings. Serve
fewer fried foods--uSe the broiler
and the oven and kettle more. Rem
der excess fats on meats and save
bacon grease for cooking purposes.
Salvage all fats that cannot be used
and turn them In to your butcher.
If you must use oils and other fats,
do SO as sparingly as you can. Re-
duce your purchases of wheat prod
ucts by 40 per cent and fats by
20 per cent.
And about the new -four. This
, will gradually replace regular all
purpose flours and cake flours on
grocers' shelves throughout the ma
ton. Basically, it will perform quite
satisfactorily in standard recipes
especially the simpler ones. The flour
itself will be less fine, and less white
than that to which we are accus-
tmed. Nutritionally, 1t will have al
most exactly the same mineral and
riched white flour, and will also
boast slightly higher protein
: count. The new" -four will be en-
>riched as formerly. according to pro-
ducers Of certain brands.
Now for q once-over-lightly Of
the local markets, and what they
have to offer for the week end.
Lamb seems to be the most plen-
tiful meat, with some beef available
In number Of markets. Veal and
pork continue scarce. Poultry is
your best bet-all kinds of chickens
are again being offered, and there
are more of those tender young hen
turkeys than we have seen Of late.
Very few ducks are noted. Eggs in
all grades are plentiful. Butter,
margarine and other fats very shy
indeed. Some cheddar and good
deal of processed and cream cheese:
cottage cheese, both plain and with
herbs and so forth added Is q popu-
lar lenten favorite.
Lots Of fresh croakers, fancy pan
rockflsh, buck and roe shad, her
ring, large white perch and skin
less cod and perch fillets are recon-
mended. Frozen trout is also avail
able. In limited supply are fresh
founder, sea bass and Spanish
mackerel. There are plenty of
oysters, but little or no crab meat
or shrimp.
Asparagus, from California and
from South Carolina, is in town,
both in punches and by the pound.
It's high, though, in price. Fresh
California peas make news, and
there are good snap beans, in rather
light supply, and some limas to be
had. Broccoli, cabbage and cauli-
flower are good, along with celery.
carrots, beets, eggplant, potatoes,
green peppers, yellow squash, to-
matoes and greens. These include
spinach, collards, turnips and mus

each glassfnl is made by
combining a quarter cup of

tract, a DROP or too of green
food coIorine. When these
are ,0eH blended, fill glass
,Oifh sparkling ,0afer, and
top .vifh a scoop of mint
sherberf.
And for the very young,
,chaf better than a dressed
nt corn cake party, as indi-
Gated to the left? Mugs of
milk and oatmeal cookies
may also be served, but the
main theme is a stack of
cakes for each child, topped
,cifh his or her name. Honey
or maple syrup add the fin
ishins touch!
