elections will be ancient history,

and a holiday spirit pervades the

q hard time keeping up with the
demand for bamboo table mats,

There are lots Of ways to stuff
vegetable, and most of them
are favorites Of mine. Now, anyone
who stuffed a mushroom will
please raise their right hand. 1t
makes 4 good hot Sunday Night
supper, or for that matter, good
luncheon dish anytime.
Peel the large ones, and leave
the little ones as is. There are
folks who claim that all the flavor
Is in the skins. Be that as 1t may,
the skin on large mushroom is
. wee bit tough. Cut off all stems,
and wash everything.
With a spatuia or small spoon,
fill the caps with finely ground
chicken, sausage, tuna, or any
thing you like that is full of pep.
Mushrooms must be flavorful. Bake
stuffed and plain with the stems, in
. creased pan with tablespoon Of
butter until the mushrooms are
cooked and the filling is done
through. Don't turn the mushrooms.
