much better il they would be cook
ed right when you get them from
the butcher I've always just put
this broth in some freezer contain
er, such as Vapo-cans, but found
this suggestion and / mean to try
it. After you have this beef broth
prepared, pour it into ice-cube
trays, freeze, and store the cubes
in plastic food bag in the freezer.
Then, when you need beef broth,
simply bring out the desired num-
Der of cubes.
Thus, you see, when you get real
busy with your spring work, you
can cook some noodles and add
few of these frozen cubes of broth.
Or, if for some renSon you won't be
home for dinner you can cook a
mixture of vegetables, or just use
canned vegetables and add some of
the broth. Your family will love
this vegetable soup, that merely
needs warming up, for dinner.
Tedsy's Biz Of Nonsense -
A railroad claim agent was teach
ing his wife to drive, when the
brakes suddenly failed on steep
down-hill grade.
81 can't STOP" she shrilled.
"Whatll l do?"
"Brace yourself" advised her
husband, "and try to hit something
cheap"
Our Benton twp. Home Demon
stration meeting on "Br0iler
Meals" was held the other day at
the home of Mrs. Brayton Finken
with Mrs. Finken and Mrs. Willard
Tabbert serving as leaders. They
did a fine job, as a result we all
vowed that henceforth and here
after we'd use the broiler on our
stove more often in meal prepara-
ton. Lucille and Dorothy prepared
an entire meal for 10 of us in the
broiler, There's quite HACK to
this kind of cookery, and the re-
sulting dishes are very attractive
looking. I'm going to tell you what
they prepared for dinner.
Broiled Hamburger Deluxe
/ lb. ground beef
2 tbsp. chopped onion
l beaten egg
" C. grated sharp cheese
2 tbsp. catsup
| tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
" tsp. salt
"a tsp. pepper
Mix together and shape into 5
thick hamburgers. (Not too big
around, about 21z in. in diameter
and 2 in. thick, they look like
miniature hassocks). Wrap a slice
Of bacon around the outside of each
one and secure bacon strip with
tooth picks. Place hamburgers on
broiler pan 3 to 5 in. from heat and
broil 5 to 10 minutes on each side.
The pan that Lucille used was
an ideal broiler pan, and if yours
is like it, you're lucky. Instead of
being flat on the bottom, it has a
slanted bottom so that excess fat
can collect in the middle of the
bottom of pan. She placed the bot
tom rack in the pan, on it were
diced, cooked potatoes seasoned
with salt, pepper and paprika. On
top of pan Luiclle placed the ham,
burgers, and about 3 or 4 minutes
before they were done, she arrang-
ed peach halves, drained, brushed
with melted butter and sprinkled
with ! tablespoon brown sugar for
each half, on the broller rack
alongside the hamburgers and al
lowed them to broil about min
utes. These peach halves later
made lovely garnish on the plat
ter with the hamburgers, and those
potatoes were really good, the ham
burger juices had favored them
too, you see.
There was a lot more on the
menu but I'll tell you about the
other dishes next week.
