Our fifth lesson In Italian cookery:
PANE-Whicn is bread. PANE

name for toast.
PARMIGIANO1This Is mighty
important-it is the Parmesan cheese

spaghettis and so on.
PASTICCIO-Any pastry or pie
crust itself.
PASTINA AL UOVO-Any pasta
made with egg.

and one-half times longer to cook

roast. Unless you do allow sufficient
time for the frozen meat the out
side OF the piece may be overdone
while the inside is still frozen. In
the case Of pot roasts or stews they
found not as much extra time was
needed as when the meat was
cooked by the dry heat Of roasting
or broiling. A frozen pot roast Of
moderate size required about IS
minutes to an hour longer to COOK
than a thawed pot roast.
The Frozen Food Cook Book, by
Jean I. Simpson and Demetria M.
Taylor. that I reviewed recently,
devotes an entire chapter to cook
ing tender and less tender cuts OF
frozen meats. They include very
comprehensive chart, giving weight,
oven temperatures, interior tenn
perature when removed from the
oven, and approximate minutes per
pound for all the different cuts.
There are also a wealth of recipes
using all types of frozen meat rang
ing from rib roasts, pot roasts,
stews to casserole dishes. The book
treats poultry, fish and shellfish IN
the same manner, as well as fruits
and vegetables.
Typical OF the many recipes Is
this one for lamb stew.

ANSWER TO REQUEST;
QUERY?

from Mrs. J. L. r., Hydttsville.)
To Mrs. M. A. F.: Geraniums do
not bloom all the year; If they
bloom all winter they will bloom
very little during the summer or
vice versa. For winter blooming.
keep plants where they are rather
cool, preferably somewhere in the
fifties and where they can get
plenty Of sun-geraniunls like sun,
Keep soil moist, but not wet. Fol
winter blooming it is best to break
off strong shoots in August and root
in water, sand and water, or dirt. I
prefer to put a ball of wet sand
around the freshly broken shoot,
which should be about three to six
inches long and from which most OF
the leaves have been removed, and
then put this directly into the pot
of good garden soil in which ex-
pect to leave it. Stand in cool, shady
place for a week or ten days and
keep moist but not wet and 1t
should begin to take root and send
out fresh little leaves, move to a
lighter place and eventually where
1t gets considerable sun every day.
It is very hard to get geraniums to
bloom in a hot apartment unless
you have a cool. sunny window sill.
Old plants will bloom many times,
but I find it better to break back
the branches soon after the heavy
blooming is over so that new growth
takes place. I find it most conven-
lent to keep a quart jar with a
fertilizer powder in the bottom filled
with water and water my house
plants with this. In this way they
get the dissolved ingredients without
danger OF strong powder getting on
them. After each watering I refill
the jar and only every few weeks
do add more powder, Don't use
too strong a solution. You will find
that in the blooming period plants
use more water and more plant food
than when not blooming.
Can any one tell me how to clean
the rough red brick in the fireplace

Whenever you get a group OF
people together who own home treez-
ers or rent freezer lockers you're
bound to overhear conversation that
goes something like this: DO you
thaw your meat before you cook it?"
How long does it take to thaw a
4-pound roast?" We'll, what about
steaks?" do you find it's better to
cook them as you take them from
the freezer or not?" And so the dis
cussion goes, they are all very serious
and earnest about it, too, because
many of them have had to learn by
the trial and error method. 1t is
discouraging, to say the least, to take
q roast or steak out OF the freezer
with the idea OF serving it Tor din
ner only to find you didn't allow
nearly enough time. As a result
you're doomed to disappointment
when the meat turns out tough or
maybe even raw and cold in the
center.
An answer to these questions
comes from the Minnesota Expert
ment Station where they have car
ried on a series of cooking tests with
frozen meat. They say equally salts
factory results may be obtained by
thawing meat before cooking and by
putting the meat on to cook while
still frozen, IF cooking time and
temperature are adjusted accord
ingly. Unttawed meat needs consld-
erably longer time to cook and al
ways a moderately low temperature
so that the meat can thaw IN the
first part Of the cooking and cook to
the desired doneness during the last
part.
They 60 on to say that SLOW
thawed and fast-thawed meat give
equally good results in cooking. They
found no difference in flavor, juici-
ness and shrinkage between meats
thawed slowly in the refrigerator and
thawed rapidly on the kitchen table.
It is impossible to give exact time Tor
thawlng since this would depend on
size, shape, thickness and other
characteristics of the meat. But
roughly, a 4-pound roast takes from
IL to 2 days to thaw in the refrlg-
orator and 8 to 10 hours to thaw at
room temperature. An inch-steak
requires overnight in the refrigerator
but only about 4 hours in ordinary
room temperature.
After thawing, you can proceed
by the same methods used for a fresh
cut OF meat. Moderate temperatures
now are recommended for both
roasting and broiling.
If you start out while the meat is
still frozen, allow enough time. A
beef roast, for example, put into
the oven frozen takes from two

In this day Of high meat prices I
felt / would like to tell the readers
about individual meat pies that are
made out in Falls Church. The
company has its factory here. but
the pies are available elsewhere.
These pies have an honest-to-good-
ness sized portion of good beef baked
in a good pastry pie shell. One pie
is quite adequate for an adult and
half pie will serve child up to
about years of age. The company
making these pies suggests serving
them with chilli or thick broth Of
some sort. Personally I don't think
they are as good this way as when
they are heated in the oven, 225
degrees for a short time, and served
hot with brown bravy poured over
the top. We have ours with fresh
frozen vegetable or couple of fresh
vegetables, If you like. The pies
cost Is cents each. I figure that
one can serve a nice lunch or supper
or party snack" for four persons.
using these pies, fresh vegetable,
and brown gravy that may be pur-
chased in cans for a total of $1.05
for the four persons. No bread or
butter or butter substitute is needed.
Of course the meal may be dressed
up with salad and dessert, but a
main course for four persons for the
above figure is pretty hard to beat,
I think.
I have told a lot of my friends
about these pies and they have told
me they like them a lot. This busi-
ness is run by veterans; they have
a good product, and I just wanted to
tell you all about it. Since these
pies have been on the market, I
have been making a lot of my own
gravy. We still have a roast every
now and then, so when I make
gravy, I make as much as possible
from the drippings in the roasting
pan, keep the extra gravy and then
I always have some on hand.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
LIQUIDIZER.
From E. M. c., Arlington.)

| (fTOHL E. W. u, ~ ttnytOh'j
To the lady inquiring about use
of fruit and vegetable liquidizer: 1t
depends a great deal on how you
must want to use the machine, as
to the recipes used. We have had
ours quite a few years and flnd 1t
useful in many ways, some OF which
I will list:
l. Fruit purees. Any soft fruit
such as peaches, sliced apples, etc,
may be whipped to a delicious
smoothness; little orange or pine
apple juice must be used to start
the machine unless the fruit Is itself
very juicy. Fresh pineapples are
nice this way and the whip may be
sweetened as desired and with a
topping of cream makes quick
and nutritious dessert. Soaked dried
fruits such as prunes, raisins, april
cots and dates may be used this
way also.
2. Soups. My youngsters particu-
larly liked to make pea soup in the
liquidizer, just using can OF peas,
adding milk If desired and season.
ing to taste. Any vegetables such as
potatoes, celery. carrots, onions, etc.,
may be pureed and quickly made
into a soup in similar way. II one
has a garden and has extra fresh
tomatoes, tomato juice can be made
very quickly if sliced up (without
peeling), brought to boil, liquidlzed,
and then strained through a potato
ricer. Our machine will stand both
hot and cold liquids, but we were
cautioned not to change too rapidly
from very hot to very cold or vice
versa.
3. Pulverizing nuts. The machine
does fine job of chopping or pull
yerizing nuts; don't let it run too
long though if you only want them
chopped or they will soon be too
fine. And put in not more than
about a cup at time-stop the ma
chine and stir the nuts into the
center, then start it again, and re-
peat until you have them fine as
powder If you want them pulver-
lied.
4. Delicious nut milks can be made
using almonds, pecans, or cashews.
The larger the proportion OF nuts
to water, the richer the milk or
cream made in this way. Sweeten
as desired with honey, or by the
addition of few dates.
5. Raw vegetable drinks. To en-
tice the family to consume more
raw vegetables, you can iquidize
celery stalks in either orange or
pineapple juice and then strain
through q ricer. Or starting with
about half a cup of milk, add as
much sliced. raw carrots as the
machine will take, let it get nice
and fine, add little honey and
few pecans while liquidizing and
serve in small cups chilled as q
first course or side dish.
8. Whipped cream can be done
very quickly - but stop and start
frequently or you may overdo 1t.
Eggs may be beaten up for omelets
very quickly, too. and you can add
SOlIle raw FcSctdUlco SuCII do CClc1y,
carrots, while beating to give
different flavor to the omelet (but
not too much to make it heavy.
T.. If fond of fresh Concord grapes,
delicious puree of these can be
made, by picking the grapes of
the punches. washing, and liquidiz-
ing; then strain through a ricer.
This should be used right away to
get the real fresh flavor.
8. Mayonnaise can be done In the
liquidizer I understand, too-but I
have not been too successful with
this and prefer the hand method.
