The Chef Saws

A very nice little book for the
gourmet has just reached my desk,
THE Lejon Cook Book" which con-
tains a number of excellent recipes
in which wines are used in cooking.
With very good American wines
appearing in ever increasing guam
titles, many cooks like to experiment
with their use in dishes-a custom
traditional in the finest European
cooking. 1t Is said that the cooking
removes the alcoholic content Of the
wine, brandy or what have you,
leaving only the delicate and inter-
esting flavor.
There is one recipe In the book
that made me positively homesick
for Joseph's, famed Paris restaurant,
where Joseph himself prepares spe-
cial dishes right in the middle of
the small dining room, watched by
fascinated eyes. This may not be
exactly like Josephs lobster fam
bee" but it is mighty close.
Get lobster tails for this-no use
wasting your money on the expen-
sive claw type.
Cook the tails in a large pot
Of freshly boiling, well-salted water
for 10 to IS minutes, depending on
the size. Remove them from the
kettle and let them cool until easy
to handle. Then cut them in slices
about an eighth of an inch thick.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in pan
and add 3 or 4 scallions or couple
Of small onions, minced fine, If you
can't get the scallions. Saute these
until transparent and then blend in
a tablespoon of curry powder. When
all is mixed thoroughly, add a cup
Of cream-and keep stirring con-
stantly. Do not let the mixture
boil. Just let the cream heat
through and then set aside.
In another pan, melt just enough
butter to heat the pieces Of lobster
meat. Put in the lobster meat and
when good and hot, pour over it 3
ounces of brandy. Take the pan from
the fire and light the brandy with
a match. Flame for about 80 seconds.
Arrange the pieces of lobster meat
on hot platter and pour the sauce
from the other pan over them. Be
sure the sauce is still good and hot.
At Joseph's this would be served
with crusty French bread and curls

Recipe Roundup

When meat prices are high, we
are forced to turn to the less ex-
pensive and more unusual meats
available. And we also turn to those
thrifty Old World nations who knew
how to make the best of every scrap
that came to their cooking pot
Take, for example, ROAST LAMB
SHANKS, ARMENIAN STYLE.
Buy four shanks of lamb and
wash them well. Let them stand in
fresh water for IS or 20 minutes.
Then take them out and dry them
carefully. Put them in a roasting
pan and add two quartered to-
matoes, one teaspoon salt and a
bit of cayenne Cook for half an
hour in medium oven, then turn
the meat over and cook 80 minutes
more
Chuck in two potatoes, cut in
pieces, and roast with the lamb
shanks for another 80 minutes,
Then turn the works over again
and cook half an hour longer. (To-
tai cooking time two hours)
Serve with juices from the pan
as gravy. Fried eggplant is Won
derful with this.
To my mind, one of the most sat
isfactory dishes ever invented by
any chef, blue ribbon or amateur,
Is HASHED-IN-CRE POTA-
TOES.
To achieve perfection, you should
use potatoes that have been baked
only partially-not boiled. (You will

course) After they are partly
cooked, cut them up rather coarsely
with chopping knife.
Put them in a pan with salt, pep
per and a nice lump of butter. Then
add one-half cup cream for every
two potatoes in the pot and let
all cook slowly over very low flame
until the potatoes have absorbed
almost every bit of the cream. Sea-

Although we do get apples all the
year around, somehow September
always seems the beginning of the
apple season to me. suppose this
rather muzzy idea stems from those
long ago days when raiding Grand
pas orchard was one of my chief
joys in life-especially when the
russetS ripened.
Anyhow, to get down to things,
let's celebrate the advent Of Sep
tember with q recipe for Dutch
Apple Cake.
Mix and sift 2 cups flour with 8
teaspoons baking powder and II
teaspoon salt. Work In table
spoons butter and add about - cup
Of milk and a well-beaten egg, Mix
quickly. Spread the dough In .
shallow baking pan.
Have ready, cored, peeled and
quartered about nice firm apples.
The quarters should be driszled
with lemon Juice to keep them
white. Now, mix cup OF sour
cream with 2 tablespoons sugar,
cinnamon and ginger to taste and
dip the apple quarters quickly into
this. Arrange the quarters in
parallel rows on the dough, pressing
in firmly. Sprinkle with a little
more sugar. cinnamon and nutmeg.
Bake in hot oven for about 30
minutes and then serve hot with
cream.
And instead of the usual apple
sauce with pork or fried apple
rings with sausage from breakfast,
try these glazed broiled apples:
Try and get apples the same size,
without blemishes. Wash them, core
them and then peel them only half
way down from the top. Put them
close together in shallow pan and
fill the core cavities with sugar,
cinnamon and a Whit of cloves.
Fill the pan with cold water to
within half of the depth of the ap-
pies. Bake for an hour in the broil-
ing oven, slowly, about inches be-
low the flame. When almost soft,
start basting with the pan liquid,
until the apples are lightly brown.

ANOTHER ANGLE
From J, T., Alexandria. J

L
Please let me add my protest to
the attack made against telephone
soliciting. The majority of the
people hired to do this type OF work
are shutins and invalids attempting
to partly or wholly support them
selves. 1t is honest labor on their
part. Please, RICH readers, do not
do anything to deprive these people
whose telephone voice is their only
earning power.
1t Is not my thought for people
to buy anything they do not need but
if a telephone solicitor has some
thing of interest he should be ac-
corded the same courtesy as door
to-door salesperSon or a store clerk.
From Mrs. M. E. G., Washington !
To Mrs. E. G. E., Arlington: Quite
coincidentally, I had just finished
answering the door saying mo" to
the same door-to-doo salesman for
the fifth consecutive week, then I
picked up The Star and read your
comments concerning telephone So
liciting. I was little surprised
since, of the few such calls have
received, I have found that the per-
sons making the calls were on the
whole more courteous and took con-
siderahly less time than the sales
persons who came to my door. Hence,
my first thought was that of the
two methods I would prefer the
telephone soliciting.
My pet telephone peeve, however,
is that of being interrupted when
feeding children or in the midst of
any one of my numerous daily tasks
to answer the telephone and find
the person calling has dialed the
wrong number. This happens far
too often not to be harassing in our
case-sometimes two or three times
a day, and often as late as midnight.
A little more care in dialing num-
bers would eliminate so much OF
this, and I do think we could prac-
tice being a little more careful in
this respect.

For some one who wrote re moldy

deodorant powder. Dust we'll under
cushions or anywhere possible about
chairs, davenports, under rugs if
needed, mattresses, etc. Can be
sprinkled on exposed surfaces and
brushed off. In winter If odor per-

TO REMOVE MUSTY ODOR.
From Mrs. M. B. B., RiDa, Md.)
To J. S., Washington. To remove
musty odor, leave your beds un-
made as long as possible on sunny
days. Put bed pillows, chair and
sofa pillows out In the sun. You
must have some sun on porch or
steps or yard.
If not, then have trees and bushes
cut away.
I live at the beach and the first
summer the musty odor was terrible.
We had several large tall trees re-
moved, which gave us more sun on
the house and in the yard. I still
put my pillows in the sun every
few days and have not had the musty
odor at all this season.

(From Mrs. r. F. r., Washington
This is in answer to Mrs. w. H. c.,
regarding her. small spinner-type
washing machine. I, too, own this
type of machine and had the same
difficulties as she had; as to where
to place the machine while in use
and how to overcome the excessive
vibrations while spin-drying. have
owned my machine since January
and have spent much of this time
finding a place to put 1t during the
washing process. I tried and l
guess you have also, setting the
machine on practically every piece
of furiture in the house and to no
avail. I explained my predicament
to my husband and he came up with
wonderful solution.
First, purchase in any department
store, a fill drain hose attachment.
Instructions for the operation of
this attachment are on the package.
Secondly, attach the long hose of
the attachment to the drain hose
of the washer. This may be done in
a few moments by means of house
coupling, which may be had for
few cents in any hardware store.
If your faucet Is not of the thread
type, it will be necessary to also
purchase an adapter. This is avail
able at the department store. With
the attachment, which I have sug-
gested. it is possible to fill and drain
the washer while it sits on the floor,
even while spinning. The total cost
of this apparatus will cost you about
SO, including the coupling and
adapter.
suggest you turn the job of pur-
chasing and installing of this ap-
paratus over to your husband. I be-.
lieve this job requires a mans me-
chanical ability.
To alleviate vibrations while spin
ming the clothes dry: Now that the
machine has been placed on the
floor while 1t is operating, this will
decrease the vibrations some. The
main cause for the machine not re-
manning still, is the uneven diStribu-
ton of clothes In washer. If you
will look inside of the washer you
will find the agitator Is divided into
three parts. Make sure that about
the same weight Of clothes is in each
section of the inner tub. This will
create an even balance on all sides
when the spinner is in motion.

a couple of hours of enjoyable

cradle days in Poland to his work
on the bench in Western Pennsyl-
vania.
We like Kelly's description of
Sammy's first day as a football
player at Duquesne University and
take the liberty of reprinting an
anecdOte that has been told and
retOld many times on the Du-
quesne campus.
"1al Balm was the head foot
ball coach to whom Sammy re-
ported in the fall of 1928. Coach
Balm had reason to remember
this event. Samny's entrance had
been as purposeful as that of a
kid invading an ice cream parlor.
When the gymnasium door swung
open, Balm had the sensation Of
seeing a well-behaved voltage that
looked like a young man of dark
complexion, stocky build, black
hair and restless tongue. The
young man introduced himself and
then launched into a rapid-fire
description of his career at Glass
port High School and the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh.
"WeII, now Balm kept
saying, only to find that Sammy
didn't brook interference. Sammy
knew all about Duquesne Univer-
sity an institution run by Catholic
priests, The Fathers of The Holy
Ghost. But even though he was
confident of his football he was

not sure he qualified for q school
operated by q religious order.
1T want to play football for Du
quesne University" Sammy con
fided to Coach Balm, "but I think
it's only fair to tell you in advance
that they couldn't use me at Pitt
Besides, I'm Jewish"
Balm looked at Sammy with q
gimIet eye. Then he said: "LOOk,
son, we're holding tryOuts for a
football team-nOt for the Ku
Klux Khan. If you can play foot
ball, you'll make the squad. And
whenever we have to pray one
over, you just pray your way as
hard as you can. Well pray our
way" (BaIin, incidentally, hap
pens to be a PrOtestant.)
ooh, just one more thing" Ba-
lin added. "We've got a ground
rule here that we try to carry the
ball ten or twelve times ourselves
before we ask the Lord t. take
it over for a touchdown. That
way we feel we're not imposin'
You understand, don't your"
Sammy grinned.
"Now, get a uniform and
don't think you're Napoleon just
because you're little guy"
Since Kelly skins over Judge
Weiss football career lightly, he
has eliminated our favOrite Sam
my Weiss story.
Early in Sammy's freshman
year, Duquesne made a trip to
Marietta, Ohio, to meet the local
gridders. Before the boys retired
Friday evening, the Rev. Father
in charge of the team beckoned the
student manager aside and admon-
ished him, Get the boys up early
tomorrow morning so that they
can make Mass before breakfast.
But don't wake Sammy, let him
sleep until the other fellows get
| back from church." Sammy hap
pened to overhear the priest in
structing the manager. He called
the manager over and insisted that
he, too, be called for Mass. II
fact, Sammy went to Mass every
Saturday with the boys on the
team throughout his four years
on the Duquesne squad. When the
president of the college handed the
future jurist his diploma, he said
Sammy, you have been a better
Catholic around here than all the
boys on the football team"
Judge Weiss delights in telling
this little tale. 1t might be well tt
remember that he proudly pro-
fesses to be an Orthodox Jew.
