HOrs d'Oeuvres Featured
By the Chef

Before the war at Pierre's, famous
Washington restaurant, favorite
luncheon choice was the "hors
doeuvres, French bread, sweet but
ter, coffee or tea" Doesn't sound
like much does it? But the diplo-
mats and the smart Washingtonians
went for it in a big way
The number and variety of hors
d'oeuvres was such that one could
fill a whole plate with them, enough
for an entire luncheon. And you
could lunch at Pierre's several times
a week and not repeat an item when
you made your selection from the
dishes arrayed on the big cart that
was pushed from table to table. I
have not been to Pierres since the
war, so do not know if they have
retained the cuStom-but the next
time I have chance, I certainly
shall investigate.
Hors d'oeuvreS trays and platters
are not too complicated for home use
and, especially in hot weather, would
make a refreshing and different"
luncheon. For one day you might
select platter consisting of shrimps
in curried mayonnaise, sliced Gu
cumbers in French dressing, picked
eggs. picked beets, celery and potato
salad with caraWay seeds. Another
combination would feature cole slaw,
smoked tongue cut in thin strips,
Evening star., 1947-06-23

sliced tomatoes with vinegar and
herbs, picked herring, cubes OF
cheese and tiny pearl onions.
If you roam the fancy groceries,
you can pick up all sorts Of foreign
and unusual items to augment your
hors doeuvres platters and lend
an exotic touch.
There are small artichoke bottoms
that come in oil. These can be mixed
with sfrimps and ripe olives stuffed
with pirnento. You can buy some
anchovy paste and make little balls
of it with hard-cooked egg yolk and
plenty of seasoning. Get jar OF
mustard dressing and use 1t on
shredded cabbage for a change.
There are all sorts of pastes you
can use to stuff large olives or
pieces of celery. Sardines, anchovy
fillets, picked herring, various kinds
of smoked fish, pickles and so on
all are there to add variety to your
dish. Smoked salmon is natural.
Canned lobster meat can be used
to stuff cold hard-cooked eggs.
Moisten the chopped meat with a
little mayonnaise or sauce tartare.
Of course, there is always that
wonderful delicacy, caviar-but it
is too expensive for most Of us to
indulge in for luncheon. 1t should
be served alone, with the dignity
and respect it deserves.

Angels, as conceived by modern
artists, are amazingly versatile
and they behave amazingly like peo-
pie. Miss Catherine Crawley, school
secretary at Jefferson Junior High
School, has been collecting angels
for six years. The total hits the
200 mark.
Not all the citizens of this angel
community sit on a cloud and look
angelic. Some apparently realize
that there are all sorts of jobs to
be done. One blond young man,
wearing black obviously his work
ing clothes) diligently scrubs his
wash. Another is busy sweeping
And another is the town lamp
lighter.
With some of the more intellec-
tual angels. book reading is an
established habit. The harp oc-
cupies the esthetic group, the banjo
others-and two complete orchestras
are poised ready to play anything
from a valse to concerto. Com
pleting the musical group is the
choir.
The town has it's own Tom Sawyer
and its own Huck Finn. One holds
q SNOWFALL obviously dedicated to
some gentleman's hat. And the
other is armed with a sling shot.
Miss Crawleys hobby began when
o friend brought one of the flgurines
from Germany. Also part of her
collection is a pair of European
angels from Stockholm, Sweden,

Dinner at Omar's
NV Violet Faulkner


A trip to San Francisco isn't COM
plete without having dinner at
Omar Khayyam's. T his dining
place is unusual in that it's an Ar
menian restaurant with a Persian
name in an American city. Legend
has it that an Armenian first in
troduced Omar, the Persian tent
maker, to the delights of the wine
cup. 1t was while enjoying the fruit
of the grape that Omar is supposed
to have uttered his first words Of
poetry. Mr.. George MARKHAM,
owner of Omar Khayyam's, worked
on the theory that since it was an
Armenian who first brought wine
and Omar together resulting in the
Rubaiyat; what could be more natu-
raj than to name his restaurant
after the great Persian? And so he
did.
For dinner. the evening we dined
at his place, we started off with an
appetizer called "Derevepatat," or
'Dolma." Dolma, in Armenian
means stuffed; and these were
grape leaves stuffed with ride
and chopped vegetables mixed with
olive oil and cooked to perfection to
bring out the delectable flavors.
They are served icy cold and eaten
with the fingers. We were being
very nice and using our forks until
our waiter said, mo, fingers" Ac-
cording to Armenian history this
dish dates back to the time of
Noah's Ark. It's said that when
the floods subsidized Noah got off the
Ark and settled in a town by the
name of Nakhichevan Following
the flood, naturally, there was a
general lack of vegetation, but the
first plant to sprout leaves we're the
grapevines. So, as result OF cir
cumstances, Noah and his family
were compelled to eat these green
leaves in lieu of anything better.
From this tale the Armenian draws
the conclusion that grape leaves
were eaten for the first time In Ar
menia.
Following that We had "Daron
Evening star., 1947-06-23

Abour." or Grave Mans Soup"
This is made with meat stock, pearl
barley, seasonings and grated carrot
to add color and food value. Then
came Omar's famous Raw Spinach
Salad made of tender leaves of fresh
spinach with secret dressing
topped with grated hard-cooked
eggs. For the entree, of course, we
had Lamb Shish Kebab" with
"Pilaf1." Pilaff is to the Armenians
what potatoes are to us, the more
ways you know how to prepare pilaH,
the better cook you are reputed to
be. We had the cracked wheat
pilaff; others are made OF rice
Along with this we had Lavish
which is fat thin bread and Rose
Petal preserves. The fragrance and
flavor of the California rose petals
from which this famed delicacy is
made will Lnger in my memory for
a long, long time.
Our dessert was "Paklava," a
pas tie rolled out in fine leaves with
layer of cracked walnuts, then
baked in the oven and served with
honey sirup on top.
As the perfect ending for this
memorable dinner the waiter
brought us tiny cups of thick, sweet,
sirupy coffee. 1t was made in Turk
ish manner and we slipped it slowly
and leisurely with our after dinner
cigarettes. Walking back. to our
hotel we were lavish in our praise
OF a very fine restaurant, delight
full dinner in a quiet, peaceful at
mosphere, beautifully served, and a
genial host.
The following day I had the
pleasure of sitting at a conference
table with Mr.. MARKHAM. 1t was
an open forum discussion of the 9th
Army food consultants. He's a big.
easy-going, good-natured man, who
is vitally interested in food and the
Joy of living. We had a great time
talking about the Importance of
good food and how 1t should be pre-
pared.

SUGGESTIONS,
ICE BOX ROLLS

1SE pOA WILLS
From Mrs. C. E. L, Washington)
I'd like to say that the letter from
Mrs. S. R. C. is REALLY letter |!
1 always look forward to letters like
hers.
Also that of the lady who asked
for recipes for the young fellow
who has the grill to cook on. My.
advice to them would be to write
to Betty Crocker, General Mills,
Minneapolis Is, MINI, Apartment 90
AS she specializes in nothing but
food, of all people who could help
him, I'm sure she will send him lots
of good information.
In peeIing and slicing onions, 1t
may sound funny, but my grand
mother use to say to roll small
piece of paper and put it under your
upper lip, or keep your tongue there.
Stand back from your onions. If
you do this it won't make your eyes
smart.
Some one, some time in the past
wrote in to you about putting quite
bit of bleach in water in a pan
that food had burnt black in, and
boiling for while. This works, with
little or no scraping. Then I put
fresh water in the pan, with soap
powder, and let this boil for few
minutes. This takes all smell of the
bleach out and it doesn't mar the
pans.
About keeping children covered at
night. In the f1ve-and-a-haf years
of my sons life, I've never had any

The Buckeye Story"
BY REED K. MELLON

"All work and no play makes
Jack a dull student" It's a known
fact that students, probably more
than any other person, should have
the opportunity to free their minds
from all serious thinking at least q
few hours out (of each day. That's
lust what we did as we decided to
90 to the circus last Saturday after
noon.
Ringing Brothers and Barnum
and Bailey, ''The Greatest Show on
Earth, was scheduled to appear for
the first Columbus performance OF
the 1947 season at 3:15 p. m. re-
membered the huge crowd from last
season, so | suggested that we plan
to be there at least an hour before
show time. We did arrive an hour
early, only to wait three hours in
all before the matinee performance
finally began.
Swarms of hopeful children and
tiring parents circulated through the
circus grounds feeding the animals
and watching the circus crews
struggle to make up lost time that
was brought about by rain and mud
The crowd of probably 5000 per-
sons waited for two and three hours
for the great show to commence,
while hundreds left the scene OF
confusion because of the delay. As
members of the vast group watched
the huge plodding elephants, roar
ing tractors, and trained circus at
tendants, we were awarded great
performance affected very little by
the bad weather conditions.
1t would take hours to review all
of the, sensational acts displayed
under this huge Big Top. Included
are such stars as Theal MarloWe,
champion lady long-distance tum-
bier; Betty Reed, of the aerial act;
Mr.. and Mrs. Gargantua the Great,
the worlds most famous gorillas;
and not forgetting the many popular
clowns.
I'm sure we gained much from
the Big Top performance which we
would have missed had we spent the
afternoon with NeWton's laws,
American history, or the principles
and problems of economics.

inning, and hard single over short
by Slovak in the third. Marietta

their first defeat of the season at
the hands of the powerful Pleasant

noon at that place. Boyd of Caldwell
and Chippi OF the victors hooked up
in a pitching duel, each allowing
only five hits, but five Caldwell err
ors brought about their downfall as
Pleasant City showed across two
runs in the last of the ninth for the
victory.
A large crowd from Caldwell at
tended the game, many to see
Chippi in action. He is regarded as
one of the best pitchers in this sec
ton. Caldwell was without the
services of the regular shortstop
Paul Warren, and consequently the
infield was juggled slightly for this
game.
