Holiday feasts

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec The approaching holidays increase our weight consciousness as we turn our to holiday feasts. But if you are counting calories in preparation don’t forget to count the nutritive value in the foods you eat. Foods allowed on your diet should be packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein needed to build your body and keep you in good health during the duration of your diet as well as after. Many foods supply valuable amounts of nutrients and are relatively low in calories Eggs are a dependable source of protein, iron, Vitamin A, and riboflavin and they’re one of the few foods that contain natural vitamin D Despite itsf high nutritive value, a large egg has only 80 calories. Nearly everyone enjoys fresh fruit and most fresh, raw, unsweetened fruits have fewer than 100 calories per serving Sweetened fruit and those canned in heavy syrup are higher in calories. Citrus fruits make excellent appetizers, salads or desserts

Study reveals — Pumpkin pie more American than apple

“As American as pumpkin pie” may not be as familiar as the long-standing cliche about apple pie, but, indeed, it may be more accurate. The truth is that apple pie may well be the nation’s bestselling dessert pie, but its origin lies across the Atlantic; whereas, the pumpkin variety is truly an American innovation. So. it seems more appropriate to coin the phrase, •as American as pumpkin pie.” in honor of its domestic heritage. All this came to light in a research study just compiled ior Mrs. Smith’s Pie Company. Pottstown. Pa., by Dr. Jay Anderson, noted food historian and university lecturer. In Prance, the cradle of cookery, the pumpkin is used for soup, jam and some desserts, according to its epicurean bible, “Larousse’s Gastronomique.” It goes on to state that in the United States, pumpkins are used primarily as filling for pies. But what Larousse doesn't mention is that Americans' have been baking and eating huge quantities of pumpkin pie ever since 1621. when the Pilgrims were taught to grow the great orange fruit — “cucurbita,” by family name. So important was this dish to the early New England settlers that one Boston wag proclaimed: “We have pumpkins at morning, pumpkins at noon. If it were not for pumpkins, we should be undoon.” These pumpkins were especially valuable in the early American diet because, as a crop, they ripened early in the season when many other foods — particularly grains — were scarce. Colonial farmers learned quickly how to stagger their planting to maintain a steady supply from August through October. In addition, pumpkins could be easily stored in root cellars and used during the wintry months when other foods were unavailable. It’s not surprising, then, that the first recorded recipe for any American dish was for pumpkin pie. It was pubOES has dinner Syracuse Chapter No. 283, Order of the Eastern Star, held a fellowship dinner in the dining room of the chapter last Wednesday evening, for members and their families. A meeting followed with 30 members in attendance. Arlene Mohler presided in the East and Larry Haviland served as worthy patron. Prim Dunn, secretary, gave a report. Evelyn Cramer served as pro tern for Adah and Juanita Thornburg, as pro tern for the associate conductress. Invitations were read from Fort Wayne, Mentone and Nappanee. Two anniversaries and one birthday were recognized by all members, and a memorial was dedicated to Blanche Bates, who died on January 28. Priscilla Rhode was elected to the position of associate matron, and Clair Mohler, associate Patron. The next meeting will be December 14, for visiting matrons and patrons night.

taoi JgltiPl -sv Pumpkin pie is particularly appropriate amid the priceless collection of 18th century tableware at Philadelphia’s historic City Tavern, recently re-opened for authentic colonial dining.

lished in the 1672 edition of “New Englands Rarieties” by Englishman John Josselyn, who had visited the colonies twice during the mid-1600s. Later, in the first truly American cookbook. “American Cookery,” published in Connecticut in 1796. it's au- % thor, Amelia Simmons, considered pumpkin pie the ultimate American recipe and offered these directions for her custard-like filling: One quart of milk. 1 pint pompkin.4cggs, molattes. allfpicc and ginger in a cruft, bake 1 hour. Then, for her crust: Rub one third of one pound of butter, and one pound of lard into two pound of flour, wet with four whites well beaten: water q:f: to make a paste. roll in the refiduc of fhortemng in ten or twelve rollings bake quick. In the 170 years since, no self-respecting American cookbook has been without a pumpkin pie recipe. One of the best reasons why. is detailed in “The House Mother,” a much-reprinted 19th century cookbook: ‘‘A perfect pumpkin pie, eaten before the life has gone out of it. is one of the real additions made by American cookery to the good things of the world. For the first pumpkin pie of the season, flanked by a liberal cut of creamy cheese, we prefer to sit down, as the French gourmand said about his turkey: with just the two of us; myself and the turkey .**
