Dear Abby Widow wants marriage license before pleasure

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 60-year-old, attractive, marriageminded widow who’s been dating a 65-year-old, well-to-do, fun-loving widower. He recently moved into my building, and every unattached woman in the building is after him. He propositioned me once in a cute way, saying, "What's another slice off a loaf of bread that's already been cut?” I made it plain that I wasn’t interested in any kind of relationship that didn't include marriage. He insists that marriage is not in his plans. Now he has a new approach. He told me that his urologist told him that men who are not sexually active are 100 times more susceptible to cancer of the prostate than men who have sex regularly. Is this true, or do you think he’s just trying to get me into bed? LAUDERDALE LIBRA DEAR LIBRA: It’s not true. He’s looking for a treat as well as a treatment. Tell him you’re sorry, but you can’t practice medicine without a license a marriage license, that is.

Hints from Heloise Unseasoned pot spells 'seasoned' disaster

DEAR HELOISE: I have just ruined a double recipe of meatballs and spaghetti sauce - three hours work scorched in my precious old iron dutch oven! Everything seems to stick lately, no matter how carefully I stir and watch. Could it be that the pot needs reseasoning’.’ If so, could you please tell me how do I do it as I have misplaced your instructions and have turned the house upside down looking for them. Nothing! Help The Three Bairds * * * I think you've diagnosed the problem correctly and your pot does need reseasoning. However, it has been my experience that any food with a high concentration of acid, such as tomatoes have, does not do well when cooked in cast iron. To get your iron ware back in shape, do this: Wash the utensil in hot sudsy water. Dry it well and then rub the interior of the pot generously with suet or salt-free fat. Put it

in a 300 F oven for two hours. Remove it from the oven (use a thick, dry potholder) and wipe off any fat residue with paper towels. Your pot will be seasoned and ready to use. To keep it that way for as long as possible, follow these simple rules: Don’t wash the utensil with strong detergent. Instead, rinse it in hot water only, using a plastic scouring pad or a nylon net scrubbie to remove any food particles. Dry thoroughly, then apply a light coating of non-stick vegetable spray or cooking oil. Wipe out excess with a paper towel. Don’t ever let the pot soak in sudsy dish water or, worse yet, put it in the dishwasher as this absolutely ruins the finish. Don’t set cast iron on a stove burner to dry it’s too hard on the seasoning and don’t stack other pots or pans on top of your Dutch oven. If you must do this to save space, place a heavy grocery bag between each piece to avoid scratching and prevent

DEAR ABBY: My fiance (I’ll call him Harry) has lived in an apartment complex for the last three years, during which time he became friendly with Gloria, the girl who lives across the hall. Gloria is moving to a condo next week, so Harry is taking her out “for a drink” next Friday as a sort of friendly farewell gesture. He says he’s never dated her and they are just friends. Since Friday night is Harry’s night out “with the boys,” it wouldn’t cut into our time together. It seems to me that his taking Gloria out for a drink would constitute a date since I am not included. I’m afraid one drink might lead to another, and before they know it they’ll be spending the whole evening together, and if that’s not a date I’d like to know what you’d call it. Abby, if Harry takes Gloria out for a drink, and they are “just friends,” shouldn’t I insist that I be included? PROTECTING MY INTERESTS DEAR PROTECTING: No. Trust Harry and quit making noises like a jealous wife or your fiance might have second thoughts about being married to a jealous and possessive woman.

moisture build-up. Also, don’t cover the pot with a lid when storing, as this may cause sweating and rusting. In spite of all these don’ts, cast iron is easy to maintain and is an alltime favorite when it comes to cooking utensils. It has been handed down from generation to generation and yours can be an heirloom too if you care for it properly. One more thing... If, for any reason, the ironware should require reseasoning at any time, just repeat according to directions given. Heloise LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone would take the time to call an elderly neighbor daily or knock on their door to make sure they areO.K. Just say, “Hi, wanted to make sure you are all right!” This could be a life-saver. Doris Seipler BOOT DRYING Dear Heloise: When trying

Mrs. Alice Berger CRISP SALADS Dear Heloise: I was preparing a big dinner with salad when I berated myself for not having purchased a salad spinner to remove the excess water from the greens. Pressed for time, I grabbed a clean mesh grapefruit bag, put in the greens, stepped outdoors and swung it around. Result: perfect salad! The greens looked good and the dressing coated them perfectly. It works! Karin Cartwright * * * Wonder what the neighbors thought! Heloise ★ * * Why let a household problem stump you? Ask Heloise to help by writing her care of P.O. Box 32000, Sar.
