Patriotic Dinner Will Be in Order on Birthday of Father of Our Country

BY DOROTHY ALDEN EVERYBODY knows the historic and rhythmic question and answer: “’Who was George Washington? First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." Because he was first in so many i other ways in addition to being our first President, the custom has grow r n up of giving a patriotic dinner on Feb. 22. The decorations for such a feast should naturally be patriotic red, white and blue, and include the hatchets and the cherry tree indis- | solubly connected in our minds with the Father of our Country. Place card in the form of hatchets Can be bought at a stationery store or else made from mat sock. A good game to play before din- ; ner in order to induce both gayety and appetite is called "blowing ! cherries.” Stretch a string lengthwise across the floor, thus dividing the room into two fields. No one is allowed to cross this line or touch the ■ “cherry.” This giant cherry is really a large red rubber inflated balloon which is thrown to the ceiling and then kept aloft by blowing against it. If it touches a player or the floor, ! the other side wins the contest, which may be renewed till are are weak with laughter. Another Good Game Another jolly game for this party is known as "Crassing the Delaware." Half the guests group themselves at one side of the room as | Washington’s soldiers, and the rest ‘ place themselves unevenly about the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

i room and play the parts of cakes j of ice. The soldiers must cross the Delaware by winding their way through | the cakes of ice without laughing, j and the ice cakes, too, must main- > tain frozen faces. The soldiers attempt to cross one at a time. Any soldier who laughs becomes a cake of ice and must stand still in the "stream,” and any ice cake who laughs loses its identity and becomes a soldier. The Dinner For the feast after this frolic we i are suggesting the following menu, j which can be varied easily accord- j ing to your local products and needs. Rrd Caviar Canapes Cream Consomme with Toast Blockade Chicken Salad in Tents Midget Pickles IFot Light Rolls Pears Valley Forge Red Cinnamon Patties Dates Stuffed With Cherry Fondant Coffee Here are the recipes for this colorful and historically suggestive I | dinner. They are calculated to serve I six persons each, but you can ] ! multiply the amounts to serve i | twelve, eighteen, twenty-four or any i other multiple of six. Red Caviar Canapes—Remove ! ] caviar from can to strainer and | pour over hot water to remove some ] of the oil. Cut bread in one-fourth ! I inch slices, and shape with a ; I circular cutter about two inches in i | diameter. Saute in butter, on one j ; side only, until delicately browned, j : Spread side which has not been j sauted with the caviar seasoned with j lemonjuice. Military Dishes Cream Consomme with Toast Blockade—Boil the contents of two cans consomme and one-half cup water for one minute, and then add one-half cup of scalded cream. Add two tablespoons lemon juice, and serve at once in cups with paprika j sprinkled liberally on top. Serve j with this soup tiny, crisp toast j Sticks piled in blockade fashion. j Chicken Salad in Tents—Mix to- I \ gether lightly the contents of one large can of chicken, 1 cup diced ripe tomatoes, 1 cup diced celery, % cup chopped walnuts and % cup sliced stuffed olives, and moisten with mayonnaise. Place a slice of ; canned pineapple on the bed of I shredded lettuce, and pile the salad ; on top. Stick cheese straws around j the pineapple uniformly, bringing j ends together at top of salad, and j tie them with a red, white and blue | ribbon. Pears Valley Forge—Drain 1 large can of pears. Add Vz cup orange juice, % cup lemon juice and 1 cup grenadine to the pear syrup, and bring to boiling. Soften l'i tablespoons gelatin in % cup cold water for five minutes; then dissolve in the boiling liquid. Cool. Arrange pear halves cut side up in individual wet molds, and pour over the gelatin.

Hotter Fat Needed for Wet Foods Cold, wet foods require hotter fat, since they cool it quickly. Only enough food to cover the bottom of the frying basket should be fried at one time, says Doris M. McCray, to McCall's for March. Large pieces of food may have a hot temperature at first, but it must be reduced to allow thorough cooking of the large pieces. Cooked foods require less time for frying, and hotter fat; this is because they need to be nicely browned on the outside, but only heated on the inside. The old way was to heat fat until it smoked; the new way is to use a fat with a high smoking temperature, and fry far below smoking temperature, j using a thermometer. The following time table is helpful when frying:' Croquettes of cooked food—39o degrees F.—l minute. Croquettes of uncooked mixtures — 385 degrees F—l to 4 minutes. Doughnuts, crullers, fritters (raw mixtures)—37o to 375 degrees F.—l to 5 minutes. French fried potatoes—39s degrees F. —5 to 10 minutes. Oysters—39o degrees F.—s minutes. Smelts and other smitll sish —375 degrees to 383 degrees F. —5 minutes. Veal cutlets, breaded chops, etc.— 395 degrees F—s to 8 minutes.
