Hints from Heloise Wooden breadbox dilemma: Howto use box, keep bread tasty; safety pins can save embarrassment

DEAR HELOISE: I recently bought a wooden breadbox at a craft show. The woman told me to coat the inside with vegetable oil, but I’ve found the odor of the wood is still absorbed by the bread or cookies in the box and they taste terrible. What can I do? It’s beautiful

and I’d like to use it! Vicki livingston ★ * * We have received many letters on this subject and have tried a variety of “cures.” My secretary brought her wooden breadbox in for just that reason. The bread absorbed the odor

and it did taste awful. We tried setting it in the sun, wadding newspaper and stuffing it in and keeping it for two days. Also, we coated the inside with Danish oil and finally tried shellacking it. Nothing worked! I hope some of you may know how to eliminate the

odor in these breadboxes so they may be used. Perhaps a manufacturer may have the answer for us. If you have a solution, please write to HELOISE, P.O. Box 32000, San Antonio, TX 78216. We will test the hints and print any that work. These boxes are far too beautiful to store in a closet or toss in the garbage. Heloise HANDY SAFETY PIN Dear Heloise: My daughter showed me this hint. She has a few dresses and blouses that have hook and eye fasteners. While she was at a party she lost the eye, but she didn’t worry, she quickly thought to ask the hostess for a small safety pin. She then pinned it tlirough the wrong side of her dress and hooked on to that.

We have used that many times in this family of six girls. Doreen Walker MAKE-UP BOX Dear Heloise: Until now, I always kept my make-up in a shoe-box in the bathroom drawer. I had to dig around trying to find eye-liner pencils, brushes and so forth. My jewelry box sai on my bedroom dresser with nothing in it but junk that I rarely used. So, I decided to change things around. I put my jewelry in a shoebox in my dresser drawer, put the jewelry box in the bathroom on the counter top. The compartments are just right for holding my makeup. The top tray has open compartments which hold my clips, hairpins and other accessories for my

Sausage, apples thrifty brunch fare

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor When winter brunchtimes come around, good cooks know sausage links and apple rings make a delicious and thrifty main course. And for a really hearty menu, scrambled eggs and buttered grits are great goalongs. Because recipes for Sausage Apples are on the vague side, we worked out a precise procedure. If you are the sort of cook who likes to know exactly how many apple rings may be fried successfully in a specific skillet, you’ll probably appreciate the following recipe. Be-

Wild rice, raisin salad San Francisco delicacy

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor Famous food stores in large cities all over the country now specialize in take-out dishes often salads. Some acquaintances of mine decided to copycat one of these salads, sold in a San Francisco Bay Area fancy grocery shop, and sent me their recipe. Although I have not tasted the original salad, the copycat version was such an enormous success at my house that I am passing along the recipe with great enthusiasm. It's definitely a salad to serve guests. What makes it outstanding? The irresistible combination of

Julie Sussman STRING ART Dear Heloise: Here’s an idea for baby-sitters, scout leaders or any mother wanting to keep her children occupied. I’ve heard of things to do with foam trays that meat comes packaged in, but I love this idea for children. Sometimes you can get them in pastel colors, but if not, the white does just fine. Punch holes in the foam in the shape of a face, house or animal (almost like the dots on connect the dot games). Give the children some yarn or colored string and have

SEVERAL CLUBS throughout the surrounding communities were well represented. The clubs represented were: “The Crosswalkers" from Rockville, “The Country Squares" from Danville, “Sugar Creek Squares" from Crawfordsville and “Guys and Dolls” from Indianapolis. The evening began with an opening ceremony to the tune of “America" with the club members forming a double line of candles to light the way for the guest banners and the American flag. It was concluded with Nancy Brown, the club caller, leading everyone in singing, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The turnout was successful with 10 squares, consisting of four couples each, enjoying the affair. All guests were presented with a carnation to wear for the evening. The guests also received door prizes which were furnished by the local members.

Thanks for passing it along. —Heloise UNSTICK ’EM Dear Heloise: There’s a solution to stuck-together marshmallows. I was ready to throw them out when my neighbor told me what to do to salvage them. I put cornstarch in the bag and shook it very well, working the bag a little from the outside. When I opened the bag, the marshmallows were no longer stuck together. All I had to do

Continue cooking, uncovered, turning the sausages with tongs, until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper toweling and keep warm in a slow oven. If there is more than 2 or 3 tablespoons of fat in the skillet, remove the excess. Meanwhile wash and dry the apples; do not peel; core. Cut each apple into about Vinch thick rings there should be 12 rings in all. Add half the apple rings to the hot sausage fat in the skillet; cook over me-

In a 3-quart saucepot, generously cover the rice with water; turn into a strainer to drain; repeat several times to wash the rice thoroughly. Return rice to saucepot and add 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil; cover and boil gently, without stirring, until tender and each grain has opened minutes. Have extra boiling water on hand to add toward the end of the cooking so that the rice is covered with boiling water. Rinse under hot running water, draining well.

A friend told me she puts her family’s shoes by her frostfree refrigerator. The fan runs at intervals all the time and that dries the shoes. As we turn the heat in the house down or off at night, the shoes wouldn’t dry out, but placing them by the fridge works great! Frieda
