Remove Bulb Tops

Do not remove the tops of mar
cissus tulips and other spring flow
ering bulbs until they have matur-
ed or turned yellow. If you remove
them earlier, Assoc. County Agent
Edward II. Ralph warns, you will
prevent the bulbs from storing up
food for next years flowers. A S
soon as the bulb leaves dry down,
plant ANIMALS over the top of the
bulbs. Use petunias. marigolds and
similar bedding plants for contin-
ued color in the garden.
Small bulbs, such as crocusses,
grape hyacinths and snowdrops
can be dug up, separated, and dried
in the sun for few days, advises
Mr.. Ralph. Store them in straw
berry boxes or flats and put them
in dry, cool place until October
when they can be replanted in new
locations.

Food Editor Of The Star

Food Editor Of The Star
Webster defines mar
made as "a brine or
pickle in which meat or
fish are soaked, often be-
fore cooking, to enrich
the flavor"
Marinades first began
as simple, brines for preserv-
ing fish. AS interpreted to-
day, a marinade consists of
cooking oil, an acid wine
gar, and/or lemon juice and
wine) and spices. Allowing
the food to stand in the mar
made accomplishes a two
fold purpose to tender
ize the food and to give it
a new, delicious flavor.
Because of their tender
izing effect. marinades are
often associated only with
the less tender cuts of meat.
This limits the use of a
marinade unjustly. It may be
used solely for it's flavor val
ue, as in the case of a sea-
food or chicken salad. The
cooked meat is marinated
=. not to make it tender .
but to give extra flavor ap-
peal. Naturally tender lamb
used in making shiSh kebab
is another example. The lamb
is marinated to give the pro-
vocative flavor that charac-
terizeS the dish.
Marinades can be used with
all meats COR poultry, sea-
food and vegetables. how
ever, they're more effective
when tailor-made for the
food that they're to be used
with. This means selecting
the right combination of
herbs and spices that will do
the most to tune up the fla
vor of a particular food.
Both whole and ground
spices are used in marinades.
In uncooked or light" mari
nades, spices such as pepper,
cloves and mustard are usu-
ally in ground form. The I'M
heated liquid would not ex-
tract enough flavor from the
whole peppercorn. whole Glove
or mustard seed. On the other
hand, the whole leaf herbs
such as bay leaf, thyme. mar
joram and the like release
their flavors much more
readily and need not be pull
verified even in an unlocked
marinade.
In cooked marinades whole
spices can be used. These So
called cooked marinades are
heated, then cooled, before
adding the food. The heat
helps in releasing the spice
flavor. Cooked marinades
tend to be more potent and
require smaller amounts OF
the spices to give the desired
effect.
Whole spices have the ad'
vantage of being easy to re-
move when the marinade il
to be used later in a sauce
The kind and amount of thu
spices and the length of tim,
to marinate depends upol
the meat. Beef and lamb, TO
example, can take a stronger
favored marinade tn a ]
chicken or fish. For highl
seasoned speciality dishes
such as sauerbraten, a blen
of especially strong spice
suits the marinade.
Following are some tailor
made marinades to start 70
off in the right direction.

effectively to add extra taste appeal to poultry sea-
food and vegetables. Keep in mind certain herbs,
spices and aromatic seeds compliment some foods
better than others. Until you're sure Of the kind
and amount to use it's safer to stick to marinades
that are tailor-made for the specific foods.
