For The Woman Who Has Everything

By ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Each year Christmas gets to be more of a struggle to think of a gift for the women who have everything. Although most women don’t appreciate practical gifts for the kitchen, they do enjoy small appliances and utensils that are more for entertaining and fun. A chafing dish or fondue pot might be just the gift you are looking for. Both of these utensils have come from European descent. The chafing dish is a French product. It differs from the fondue pot in that it has a blazer pan and a water pan. It works on much the same principal as the double boiler. The chafing dish is most useful on a buffet table to keep food warm for a long period of time. Since the food does not come in contact with direct heat there is no scorching or burning. The fondue pot on the other hand is used for cooking the food not merely keeping it warm The Swiss people were the first to use the fondue pot. They specialized in cheese fondues. Since the fondue pot has gained popularity in the States, several courses have been devised so that an entire meal can be served from various pots.

outlet destroys the atmosphere that an open flame creates. Pottery pots are used for cheese and desserts since they cannot withstand the high temperature of cooking oil. Metal pots are used for the main course which usually includes beef fondue. A variety of accessories are available to compliment your fondue supper. But the only necessary addition is the fork. Fondue forks are longer than the traditional dinner fork and have wooden handles. The other accessories can be purchased after the homemaker has tried several recipes and can serve them with ease. As with any new endeavor, fondue cookery takes practice. But sometimes it's the mistakes that makes the meal the most fun.

Orville Sherman To Speak At Bethel Church Orville Sherman of the Timbercrest Home at North Manchester will be the guest speaker at the Bethel Church of the Brethren in Milford on Sunday. Shearer Facts . . . By CARL SHEARER It’s a fact... that everyone as they approach a new year think of the failures of the past and look forward to better things, a new beginning with the new year. Jesus said in substance one time to a woman who was in deep trouble with God. (John 8) “I know you have made a mess of things, but life is not finished yet. I am giving you another chance —a chance to redeem yourself.” I like this old poem. I’ve altered it’s lines just a bit. What a wonderful thought as we approach the New Year. How I wish that there was some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all our greed and sin, Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, And never put on again. In Jesus there is the gospel of the second chance. We invite you to the Milford Christian church to hear about Jesus, who was sure that every person has a future as well as a past.
