SALADS AND SALAD DRESSINGS

(By BETTY BARCLAY)

Do not neglect the salad when the weather is cool. Even though many of your usual salad vegetables or fruits are not on the maiket you can still secure at least a dozen common salad ingredients. Cold weather thus should not cause a lack of salads but should merely induce the housewife to serve new and unusual salads. Some salads are actually main cQjtrse dishes but in cold weather those salads are usually served at bridge luncheons or afternoon le^s. The average salad is a side dish. It does not contain a great mimber of calories and consists largely of fruits or vegetables or both. Through this dish we obtain many of our vitamins as well as calcium and other minerals. Furthermore. a fruit or’ vegetable salad consists almost entirely, if not entirely, of alkaline-reaction foods so.that it serves to balance the meat, fish, bread and eggs which may be served at the same meal. llere are a number of recipes for excellent salads and salad drssings suitable for cold wearther: Fruit Meal Salad (Serves 1) Lettuce 1 1-2 tablespoons cottage cheese

1 orange 5 walnut meats I dessert spoon seeded raisins 6 almond meats 5 dates, stoned From lettuce head cut a slice 1-2 inch thick. Put on salad plate and center with mound of cottage cheese. Around this at equal dis.tauCes arrange in cross formation f ' piles of orange sectlohs. Ih spaces between orange sections, place walnuts (in first space), raisins (in second space), almonds (in third space), and dates (in fourth space. Serve with French Dressing De Luxe. French Dressing De Luxe (Makes 3-4 pint) 1 cup salad oil 1-2 cup lemon juice 1-4 cup orange juice 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1-2 teaspoon paprika 1-2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons powdered sugar 1-2 small clove garlic (or 1-2 teaspoon chopped sweet onion) Put all into a bottle and shake well. Dressing is better when a week old. It ripens and develops flavor and may be kept for a month or more in the refrigerator.

Shake well each time before using. Variation: Add 1 small can of tomato soup to above recipe. This gives a French dressing similar to the commercial dressings. Will make 1 1-4 pints. Fruit Salad in Orange Cups (Serves 6) G large oranges 12 marshmallows, quartered 1 cup diced pineapple 1 cup seeded white grapes (or diced apples) Lettuce Gut tops off oranges and remove pulp, leaving orange cups. Combine all ingredients, fill orange cups, and arrange r on lettuce-cov-ered salad plates.; Serve with a cooked salad dressing. Golden Salad Dressing (Makes-'I 12 cups) 3 eggs 1-2 cup pineapple juice 1-3 cup lemon juice 1-3 cup orange. juice 1-4 cup sugar 1-2 teaspoon salt Beat eggs slightly. Add fruit juices, sugar and salt. Cook, stirring constantly until thick. Orange Date Cheese and Nut Salad (Serves 6) 4 oranges 2 packages cream cheese 30 dates 6 tablespoons walnut meats Lettuce Pare oranges and section. Mash Cream cheese moistening with a

little orange juice saved in preparation of oranges. Stone dates and stuff with balls of cheese. Combine orange sections, stuffed dates and walnut meats and serve on lettuce-covered salad plates, with any desired dressing.

SAFER AND MORE EFFICIENT GAS APPLICATIONS

Equipment Makers Desire to Give Public Best Possible Service.

For many years the wise buyer of gas-using appliances has looked first for the seal of approval of the American Gas association. This association, which is supported by concerns interested in promoting the efficiency and safety of gas cooking, gas house-beating, etc., subjects all appliances to rigid tests, and only when they meet high standards are they given the seal. Now the association has announced that, to further safeguard

the interests of gas users, its approval seal on appliances and accessories will, beginning next January, be! good for only five years, when that period is up, the appliances inust be subjected to retests each year if they are to retain the seal. The seal will thus increase in importance, so far as the consumer is concerned. The new move is indicative of the desire, felt by reputable manufacturers of equipment, to give the public the best possible gas service. Manufacturers who are unable or unwilling to meet the association’s performance and safety standards will doubtless find it harder than ever to market inferior equipment.

BUDGET BUDGING. Five tons of food annually, that’s what the average American rural families consumes. To be exact, 9,571 pounds, says a Toledo scale company. Every ounce of it goes over the scales several times in its course from its origin to the family table. If you are a wise budgetwatcher, it will go over a scale once la gain in your household. Every factory weighs all goods it receives simply because it is common business sense to check up the weight ordered against the weight received. Households should ro the same It may help to reduce the budget a bit.

Frances Lee Barton says: * IJEFORE I would undertake to J3 give my two oldest lads cooking. lessons, I made them promise two things: First, they must tidy up the kitchen, and wash all the cooking utensils. Second, they must do their kitchen chores and errands without grumbling. This has worked like a charm. They keep their part of the bargain and* I keep mine by 'giving them one lesson a week. [For their second lesson I chose Camp Fire Pudding, which has proved very popular as a dessert in our home. Camp Fire Pudding 1 package orange-flavored gelatin: 1 cup warm water; 1 cup ;orange juice and water; 2 oranges, sections free from membrane, diced, and drained; 8 marshmalilOws, quartered. | Dissolve gelatin in warm water. Add orange juice and water. Chill. When slightly thickened, fold in | oranges and marshmallows. Chill until firm. Serve with whipped cream or orange sections, it de» isired. Serves 6, Lady—Oh, so you’ve been in touch with royalty, have you? Tramp—Yes, lady, I was once stung by a queen bee!”
