Raspberry dessert iis a 'trifle' delicious

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor ; DEAR CECILY: Please give more recipes for Trifles. They’re good company desserts because they have to be made ahead. Right now I’d like a recipe that’s quick to put together. - BE PREPARED. DEAR BE PREPARED: This Raspberry Trifle can be made speedily because it calls for the frozen suit and instant vanilla pudding. Some other time, as is my wont, I’ll give a fromscratch version. C. B. RASPBERRY TRIFLE (Quick Version) ; 10-ounce package frozen ; raspberries, thawed • 2 teaspoons cornstarch i 3-ounce package (12 double) ; ladyfingers, separated ; Vi cup (about) sherry, any kind :3 L 4-ounce package vanilla- ; flavor instant pudding ; mix ! 2 cups milk

1 cup heavy cream Vz cup packaged sliced unblanched almonds In a 1-quart saucepan stir a little of the raspberry syrup into the cornstarch, keeping smooth; stir in the remaining syrup and the berries, reserving a few for garnishing. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until clear and slightly thickened: cool. Sprinkle the ladyfingers with the sherry; arrange half of them around the bottom of a 6cup glass bowl (7 by 3 inches). Prepare pudding mix with the milk as package directs. Whip the cream and reserve Vz cup for garnishing; fold the rest into the pudding. Layer half the berries, pudding and nuts over the lady-fingers in the bowl. Arrange remaining ladyfingers around the sides of the bowl; repeat layers of berries, pudding and nuts. Garnish with the reserved cream and berries. Chill thoroughly. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Dear Abby

Woman realizes that her mystery man ought to show up or ship out

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 33-year-old single woman who is seen regularly on local television. (Omit city, please.) About a year ago I started getting phone calls from a man who said he was 48, divorced and a successful businessman. Without coming on as a masher, he said he admired my work and wanted to get to know me better. For some crazy reason I became intrigued by this stranger and encouraged his calls. (I even gave him my home phone so he could call me after work.) There is no one special in my life right now and this man is a tonic to me. He’s intelligent, well-educated and has a wonderful sense of humor. We’ve had some very soul-searching and intimate conversations some have lasted three hours! Abby, I want to meet this man in the worst way, but he refuses to meet me. I’m beginning to suspect he is either very ugly or perhaps deformed. I don’t care what he looks like; I love his mind. What do you make of this? And where do I go from here? I really want to meet him. IN LOVE WITH A VOICE DEAR IN: I would guess that the man is doing what he does best talking. For reasons of his own he prefers to keep a safe distance. I see no future in this “electronic tonic.” Fantasyland is fun to visit, but don’t try to live there. Tell him to grow up and show up, or bye-bye. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: What can a person who is not interested in gossip say when someone says, “I’ll tell you some dirt if you promise not to tell anybody.” HATES GOSSIP DEAR HATES: Say, “Don’t tell me. You know I can’t keep my mouth shut any better than you can.” * * * DEAR ABBY: I am 17 and have been sleeping with this blanket I call “Sidney” every night since I can remember. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of flak from my parents. They say it is wrong at my age to sleep with Sidney. I’m not sure I know why I sleep with him. They say it’s for extra security, but I doubt it. I am not a shy or insecure person; I’m friendly and

Local social service club met for party

REELSVILLE-The Reelsville Social Service Club met Wednesday, Dec. 9 at the Double Decker Restaurant in Greencastle for a luncheon and Christmas party. Mrs. Helen Jarrell was the hostess and arranged the program which included Christmas music provided by a trio from Reelsville - Debbie Chew,

Judy Custis and Thelma Sloan. A paper on Christmas trees was read by Lucille Hutcheson. President Illene McCollister was presented with a gift from the club in appreciation for her kindness and leadership the past two years. The next club meeting will be in April. Time and place will be announced at a later date.

outgoing and have a nice circle of friends. Is there anything wrong with a girl sleeping with a blanket she’s had since day one? SLEEPING WITH SIDNEY DEAR SLEEPING: No harm in sleeping with “Sidney” as long as you sleep alone. However, come honeymoon time, retire Sidney to the rag bag. Three’s a crowd. * * * DEAR ABBY: What to get your elderly mother, father, grandparents, uncles, aunts and friends for Christmas? We all have fancy robes, gowns, tablecloths, napkins, etc., stored away, but what we would appreciate most is to have things done for us that we aren’t able to do ourselves. For example: Furniture moved, windows and doors repaired, pictures and mirrors hung, trees and bushes planted, and so on. It would be wonderful to receive a Christmas card saying, “Make a list of things you want done and I will be over on Saturday from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. to do them. And that will be your Christmas present from me.” GRAMPA * * * DEAR ABBY: My boss asked me to write to you with a problem our office is having. Office gossip! Do you have any remedies? A MEDICAL GROUP IN HOUSTON DEAR GROUP: As long as there are people who are willing (indeed, eager) to listen to gossip, there will be gossip. Gossip can be entertaining, boring, informative, true, false, malicious, innocuous, devastating, benign or it can sink a ship. Some gossips aren’t even aware that they’re gossiping they’re merely attempting to be “good company,” and always seem to have an amusing tale to tell. The only remedy I know of to discourage gossip is to refuse flatly to listen. If someone says, “They say

It’s none of my business.” (They’ll respect you for it.) When gossips no longer have an audience, they’ll quit gossiping.
