NORWEGIAN FISH BALLS.

From Mrs. L. M, Alexandria,
Mrs. w. R. p, Arlington. I am
not the lady who originally con-
tributed the Norwegian recipes you
asked for, but happen to have a
very good recipe for fish balls which
+ brought from Norway that you
might enjoy. Two pounds boned
haddock, egg, well beaten; a cup
cream, tablespoons minced onion,
Il teaspoon nutmeg, teaspoon salt,
l teaspoon softened butter, pepper.
Grind fish. Blend with remaining
ingredients. Drop into beaten egg
from a tablespoon, then into fine,
dry bread crumbs. Fry in shallow
fat until golden brown. Serves 8,
makes 2 dozen fish balls
My sister-in-law in Norway is
sending me some recipes, including
the others you asked for. If you
like, I will send them when they
arrive.
MENDING CHINA.
From Mrs. J. j. F., Upper Marlboro J
For the lady who wished to re-
place cup handles the following
method should do the trick:
Mending china: Melt powdered
alum in an old spoon over heat;
while still soft rub over broken
edges, press together and fasten with
adhesive tape. Allow to dry thor
oughly. They will stay together
even when washed in hot water.
Restoring cracked dishes: Try boil
ing cracked dishes in sweet milk to
cover for one hour. If cracks are
not too deep this process makes
them invisible.
POLISH DISH.
(Fron, Mrs. J. M. A., BranchUille.) }
For Mrs. A. M. NJ, Washington.
The Polish dish is called 'golombki'
(go-lom-kD or stuffed cabbage
First, pour over or scald a 3-pound
cabbage with hot water. boiling
Separate each leaf, trim off heavy
ends. Choose a cabbage that has
not grown too closely tight. Next
cook Ia pounds rice partly, about
half way drain thoroughly of water
in collander. Place this in large
bowl. Add l pound coarsely ground
meat, either beef or part pork and
beef, Add l egg. Fry separately
one medium sized onion with slice
bacon. Add this to mixture. Mix
thoroughly, rice, meat, egg, bacon
and onion fried.
Fold into cabbage leaves with
tablespoon and wrap just like small
packages. Place in large pot one
on top Of each other snugly. Fill
about "a way with cold water. Cook
slowly until done. One leaf can be
placed on bottom to prevent sticking
to pot.
Nothing to it and really worth
the trouble. These can be served
with plain bacon and drippings OF
a little bacon dripping with to-
mato sauce warmed poured over
They can be reheated in a frying
pan and taste better the secono
day than the first day, 1t is good
food for growing children.
