New Orleans
lam Recipe

Down In Richmond. where they
claim to know hams better than
any one else, they say that 'left
hams are tenderer than right
hams" because the pig uses his
left leg to scratch himself. thus
making the meat on the left
leg f1rmer and not so fat. Why
is it a pig can only scratch with
his left leg-surely he must itch
on the right side occasionally?
But that's the ham experts story
and they stick to 1t.
No matter what Richmond has
to say about hams. New Orleans
knows q swell way to cook ham
steaks. Here it's:
Get 3-pound slice Of ham-it
should be / inch thick. Slash II
in several places with a sharp
knife. Put it In q kettle with
cold water to cover, and bring to
a boil. Let boil about five min
uteS. then drain.
Now put the ham in a casserole
that has been rubbed with garlic
Add a couple Of green peppers
seeded and sliced thin; two on
ions, also sliced thin; " pound
OF mushrooms, sliced: q can OF
tomatoes. some mixed herbs and
garlic II you wish. Season with
a little cayenne and a dash Of
dry mustard.
Cover the casserole and bake
for about one and one-half hours
in a moderate oven. Take out the
herb bunch, and stir in table
spoons of butter.
Cut the ham slice through, in
slices, as you would beefsteak,
and return 1t to the casserole to
be served. Either fluffy white
rice or wild rice is the perfect
accompaniment-and traditional
in Louisiana. However, many
men like this ham dish with
great. bursting baked potatoes,
gashed open. and dolloped with
butter. salt. pepper and paprika.
The combination is hard to beat
where the masculine palate Is
concerned.

A famous French dish, taken
from the Greek, is "Laitues far
cies la grecque'-stuffed lettuce

mato catsup. Keep stirring. Add

fine. 8 tablespoons of green peas,
and salt and pepper to taste. Mix

Trim the stems, and remove all
wilted leaves from 6 small heads
Of Boston lettuce. Wash well in

tween hands.

solved a teaspoon Of meat concen-
trate. Add a couple of table

It was when her children were
married and started homes of their

spurred into compiling her first
cook book. They wanted a col

begging for her marvellous recipes.
Thus it was that the little book
privately printed for family and
friends eventually went into five

In the southern part OF the
United States-the southeastern
part, that is-okra really comes
into it's own. To those who dis
like the vegetables on the grounds
of "sliminess," may I say that
there are plenty Of ways Of cook
ing it that are not slimy-and as
the basis for a soup 1t has no peer.
Select young. tender fresh pods
discard those that appear rusty,
or discolored or wilted. One pound
of fresh okra contains a little
more than quart Of small pods.
Cut of the stems: wash the
okra carefully. Slice large pods
in half lengthwise; use the small
ones whole.
To make an elegant soup:
Put into an enamel kettle 4
pounds of knuckle of veal. 2
pounds of young, green prepared
okra, 10 medium tomatoes. quar-
tered, / onion, chopped, 6 sprigs
of parsley, and 8 quarts Of water.
Add salt to taste. Put a lid on
the kettle, and simmer for S hours,
skimming any scum from time to
time as it appears.
An hour before serving time, re-
move the bones. and add 6 hard
shell crabs, cooked and broken up,
shells and all. and 2 slices Of
bacon, chopped fine. Continue
cooking for the hour. A little
overlooking does this soup nc
harm. If you don't like the trouble
of fishing out the crab shells,
tie them all in a cheesecloth bag
and cook them with the soup
then remove before serving. The
crab meat. of course, will cook

Juliet role. Juliet. the Judge re-
called, was only IA when she met
