steaks are not very thick. usually
weighing only a few ounces.
Next comes the "Chateaubriand,
from the center Of the tenderloin.
It is cut thick and weighs IL or
more ounces. It is very choice and
much better known in France than
it is in this country.
"Tournedos" (among my favor
ites) are small. They are cut from
the narrower part of the tenderloin
and are often called noisettes or kerr
nels. They are usually about an
inch and q half thick and trimmed
round. Two or three may be served
as portion.
The most familiar of the lot. the
"filet mignon," comes from the mar
rowest, pointed end of the tender
loin Of beef, cut in various thick
nesses according to preference.
They are often wrapped with bacon
or larded by the butcher.
All of these cuts may be grilled,
broiled or sauteed and are best when
cooked slightly rare. The same gar
nishes, sauces and accompanying
vegetables, etc., 60 equally well with
all of them. Appropriate garnishes,
according to the great Escofier,

A couple of readers have written
in, a bit puzzled about the various
terms used for the cuts of the ten
derloin Of beef. They had encoun-
tered them from time to time on
the menus Of swanky restaurants
and their local butchers could not
supply the information when ques-
toned. To them, heretofore, beef
tenderloin was just something a
little more tops than prime rib
roast or porterhouse steak. But
there's more to it than that!
The French method of cutting
meat Is not the same as that en-
ployed generally in the United
States and that is the cause of all
the confusion. "A butcher who is
accustomed to serving hotels and
restaurants or very large, wealthy
homes, probably would know how to
but the average meatcut-
ter would have to be instructed.
The large beef tenderloin is cut in
different thicknesses to achieve the
various "cuts." These slices Of the
tenderloin have different names
according to the section of the ten
derloin from which they are cut
and also to their respective thick
ness.
The "head end, of the tenderloin
is cut from the >fillet steak, which
Is called ''le bifteck" in France These

Swedish Breads

Swedish breads long have been
rated as among the finest in the
world. A Swedish coffee bread Is
something very special, so good on a
Sunday morning with cups of strong
coffee, rich with cream. Such de-
light is not too difficult to make.
A favorite recipe is this one:
Scald cups of milk and let cool
to lukewarm. Soften up a yeast
cake in a quarter-cup of lukewarm
water and add 2 tablespoons of
sugar to it. When this has dis
solved add all to the warm milk
and work in 3 cups of flour. Beat
until smooth and then set aside to
rise to double its bulk.
Grind about IS cardamom seeds
very fine, cream together u a cup
of shortening and y cup sugar. Add
the ground cardamom seeds to this
and mix all with the sponge. Now
knead the works into a soft dough.
Let rise to double once more and
then shape into a loaf or ring.
Bake in creased pan in a mod
erately hot oven for about IS
minutes. Frost with boiled confec-
toners sugar and sprinkle with nut
meats and raisins while the FROST
ing is still soft.
If you like that very hard Swedish
rye bread, knackebrod or hardtack
that you find in the best Swedish
restaurants you can make some for
yourself. Mix together a pint OF
buttermilk, y a cup of sugar, " cup
Of butter, teaspoon of salt, a very
scant teaspoon of baking soda and
enough coarse rye flour to make a
thick dough.
Shape this into couple of dozen
balls, rolling each in flour. Then
roll out very thin. (You should
Evening star., 1947-01-02

have a rolling pin with barbs, that
prlcks as 1t rolls, but If you haven't
prick the dough afterward with a
fork) The dough should be very
thin. Bake the bread on a cookie
sheet in a hot oven until we'll
browned-around Is minutes should
do. This bread hardens as it ages.
Another Swedish speciality is po-
tato pastry, at its best in the ira
ditional "lefse." Take cups of
freshly mashed cooked potatoes and
when they are almost cold add "a
teaspoon salt and az to 3 table,
spoons of butter to them. Mix "a
teaspoon baking powder with just
little flour and add to the potatoes.
Keep adding flour until you get
dough that can be rolled very thin.
Roll only a portion at time. Cut
dough into quarters and bake the
"cakes" on an ungreased griddle,
browning lightly on both sides.
These are delicious served with pow
dered sugar, honey, sirup or pre-
served fruit,

Recipe Roundup

Do you appreciate celeriac or cel-
cry root as much as the French and
other Europeans do? It has been
our observation that this tasty vege-
table goes begging all too frequently
in our markets. Which is pity, for
1T Is delicious, and so easy to pre-
pare in a number of ways.
Buy the knobby root, cut off fibers,
peel it, and cook 1t in lightly salted
water, to which a little milk has
been added, until it is just tender.
Slice it, and eat it hot with a thin
cream sauce, If you like. Personally,
we prefer it cold with a sharp
sauce.
And here is suggestion that is
tops:
Peel the raw celeriac, cut it into
julienne slices, and chill them for
half an hour in ice water to which
a little vinegar has been added.
Drain, dry and serve with dressing
made by working the yolks of 2 hard
cooked eggs smooth with little oil,
adding this to half a cup olive oil,
and stirring in half teaspoon mus
tard, a tablespoon vinegar, and salt
and pepper to taste.

AVOCADO PLANT.
from Mrs. w. w. A., Arlington.)
Answering Miss M. T., Washing
ton, concerning her avocado plant.
Avocado is strictly tropical plant
and will not stand frost. We raise
them at home in California, where,
according to the variety, they grow
from 8 to Is feet in heighth. De-
pending on variety, some trees grow
their leaves close to the ground,
others have a very tall trunk with
leaves quite high. ...
Perhaps If you trim back the
plants you now have, thus throwing
the strength to the lower leaves
and lower shoots, you may keep
your plants inside for another win
ter or two. The leaves are very
lovely all year round.
If the frost has not already gotten
the plant you left outside, would
suggest you bring it in right away,
or you certainly will lose it.
Thanks to RICH had one answer
to the "Eames" geneology inquiry.

developing. In two days the little
boy was in BED and the doctor was
called in.

"Suit the plant to the window where
it will stand" is the advice Of plant
scientists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Gerani-
unls and begonias are among the
favorite house plants that do best
with plenty of sunshine during the
winter. African violets will thrive
with the minimum of sun and may
be grown successfully at east or
west windows. In most recipes
macaroni, spaghetti and noodles are
Interchangeable. A simple
entree to stretch that leftover
chicken is to combine it with bright
peas, green pepper and pimiento In
a white sauce. Serve 1t piping hot
over tenderly cooked, golden egg
noodles. We're told to continue
to save and salvage all fats from
meats to help out the badly needed
soap supplies. Gritty sand on
spinach is almost a thing of the
past. This is all due to the new
methods of preparing and packag-
ing. Much of the fresh spinach is
now trimmed, washed and packaged
in transparent bags, all ready for
the kettle. The waste products

large-scale production of penicillin.
That's one reason why food In cans
is relatively inexpensive. The can
ners find ways to use the peach pits,
carrot and beet tops that most
just discard. The juice
from crushed asparagus butts can
be used as a culture mold in which
penicillin is grown, carrot tops go
into cattle and poultry feed, peach
pits contain an oil that is refined
and used in pharmaceuticals and
cosmetics. 1t takes one cup of
clean waste fat to make one bar Of
homemade soap, according to a.
recipe developed by textile chemists
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Soap is made from
three main ingredients-fat, lye and
water. Borax may be used If de-
sired to improve the appearance OF
the soap and its sudsing action.

Report to the Housewife

Now that the holidays are over
for another year, many of us are
looking for some bargain food buys
to balance the food budget.
I'm told you can find good chuck

smoked picnics. Among the more
expensive cuts will be rib roasts,
smoked hams, ready-to-eat hams,

For your vegetables, there are
excellent quality caulif1ower, string
beans, spinach from Texas. You can
find good globe artichokes, and ten
der mushrooms, as well as Belgian
endives if you're luXlry-minded.
New potatoes from Florida are
recommended. Oranges may be
a trifle scarce this week end but
it will be only a temporary shortage,
due to shipping. There are still some
California grapes on the market.
They won't last much longer, so buy
them while you can. Strawberries
are bit lower in price than they
have been up to now; Florida
tomatoes are about average in price

I should like to offer Mrs. T. w. L.

one cup of water and one teaspoon
of salt. Place pan inside a large
pot of boiling water (about 2 inches)
Cover large pot. Cook for one hour.

this Is not the QOuDle DOller uleIQOo.
This is called steam bath"
The small pan containing the rice
should fit completely inside the
large pot, leaving room for the
steam to rise all around and over
the pan.
The main advantage to cooking
rice in this manner is that 1t can
be put on to cook and forgotten
until an hour later, during which
time the rest of the dinner can be
prepared.
All the women in my family have
cooked rice in this way for two
generations, and there's never been
a failure.
When buying rice be sure to get
the best-the long, white, fancy
grains. Wild rice can also be
cooked in this way.
T hope some of you will enjoy
this rice as much as my husband
and I do.
from Mrs. E. F. j., Washingtor,.)
For Mrs. T. w. L., washington: {:
To have fluffy rice use heavy
aluminium kettle with heavy lid.
Wash 2 cups Of white rice thorough
ly. add 4 cups of cold water, 2 tea
spoons salt, cover and set over
medium heat as soon as water starts
to boil, 6 to 10 minutes. Turn heat
off. allow rice to steam 80 to 35
minutes without lifting cover. Run
knife blade around edge Of rice,
turn it out onto a serving dish as
from mold.
From Mrs. C. E. j., Washington.)
To Mrs. T. w. L., Washington:
Wash rice and put in plenty OF
boiling water. Boil for 18 minutes
in open pot, pour in colander and
rinse with cold water. Place COW
cred colander in container with
boiling water. Do not let water
touch bottom of colander. Set in
warm place on top of stove. Do not
leave light under pot. The not
water in a warm place will keep
rice hot until you are ready to use
it. usually set mine over the pilot
light on top of the stove. Your rice
should be nice and fluffy.
from Mrs. S. S., AIerandrid.)
For fluffy rice, heat large
amount of water. When the water
comes to full boil, drop the rice in
slowly so that the water does not
stop boiling. Boil rapidly for about
fifteen minutes (until grains are
soft) remove from pot into colander
and run heavy stream of cold water
over rice, separating grains. Il
usually use hot water so that rice
won't be cooled.
HEAT STAINS.
(Fron, Mrs. S. S., AleTnndria.)
To remove stains caused by heat
on higly polished tables put several
layers of brown wrapping paper
over the spots and rub with warm
iron. The iron should be barely
warm.
I have never tried the above, but
I understand this will remove spots
If the furniture isn't too badly
