SMORGASBORD RECIPES? :
NORWEGIAN FISH PUDDING
CHILD AIDS.
from Mrs. P. A. w., Washington.)
In these days of informal enter
tanning I have wished for numerous
Swedish Smorgasbord recipes. Could
your readers supply some?
Here is a Norwegian Fish Pudding
which never has failed me. Two and
half cups finely ground cooked
rock. cod or halibut. l cup whipping
cream NOT whipped, y cup flour,
3 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tea
spoons salt, 3 eggs separated. Com
bine fish with cream, flour, butter,
salt and beaten egg yolks. Fold in
stiff1y beaten egg whites and pour
into we'll creased mold. Set in
pan containing one inch hot water
and bake in a slow oven 325. degrees
for one hour Remove from mold
and serve hot with cream sauce or
egg sauce.
May / pass on an idea for mothers
with babies who start sucking their
thumbs or any fingers for that mat
ter. The very first time you notice
1t. decide to devote two to three
days at your baby's side neglecting
everything else. 1t will be worth 1t.
Every time the baby's hand goes
to its mouth say mo, no" and pull
1t away. BY the end of the second
day my first child. then only four
months old, would jerk her own
1t worked on my next two and many
friends have reported successful re-
suits You must be by the baby
every moment 1t is awake and not
let it get by with one suck. The
child will never return to the habit.
If It is older and the habit estab-
lished it may take week to break
1t, but much easier than mitts, etc.
To L. j. x. about her 17-month-
old daughter feeding herself. Just
put plenty of newspapers under
here high >chair and fairly small
amount of food in her dish. Whether
it goes down her mouth or on the
floor don't replenish it to be thrown
away. If she loses out on a couple
of meals she'll be hungry enough to
find the way to that mouth eventu-
ally. Due to the. war my second
child had to learn to feed herself
at IA months and did so we'll l
started the third at year The
younger they are the quicker to
learn.
