AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
Food Demonstrations

Food Project Demonstrators met
in the Extension Office on Decem-
Der 6 to be trained for the JAN
uary, February, March meetings
Arriving promptly at 1900, Mrs.
Frank Gladhill gave the first dem
onstration on the making Of a
Pizza. pie. While this was baking,
Mr.. Kostolefsky, an amateur cook
from Washington, made his
famous" Blintzes. Blintzes are
made from pancake-like mixture
which when cooked on one side is
turned out on a paper towel,
topped with a spoonful of cheese,
meat or fish, rolled and put into a
hot buttered skillet and baked.
They are served with thick, sour
cream. The demonstrators enjoyed
taste of the Blintzes during the
luncheon hour.
At this time Mrs. Ralph Beall
brought before the group beautiful
Christmas decorations which she
had shown the Potomac Glen
Homemakers how to make a day
previously. The demonstration
proved that a homemaker can
create beautiful decorations by
using just a little ingenuity and
imagination. Mrs. Beall showed a
tree she had made using chicken
wire shaped into a cone. The wire
was then filled in with twigs of
pine, and decorated with gaily col
ored peanuts in the shell, and tiny
balls. The agents hope, another
year, to have a complete training
school for this type of work.
