Mrs. Ed Quails called me last
week and laid the bread recipe
I sent you recently was incor
rect, so here is the way it
should be made.
Homemade Bread
S pounds all-purpose flour
3 packages dry yeast
S cups lukewarm water
2 heaping tablespoons salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
Sprinkle yeast and 2 table
spoons 6f the sugar over luke
warm water and let work until
puffy; sift flour, sugar and
salt into large container. Make
"well" in eenter of dry ingredi
ents and put in shortening.
Pour yeast water on top of
shortening and work with
hands until well blended and
dough is smooth and not sticky.
Grease top of dough, eover and
let rise in wartn place until
doubled in bulk. Work down
and divide in five equal por
tions. Form into five loaves,
and put in five greased loaf
pans. Cover and let rise in
warm place until doubled in
bulk. Bake in 350 degree oven
for 18 minutes; reduce heat to
328 and continue \>aking for
about 40 minutes, or until gold
en brown. Yield; 8 large loaves.
Freezes beautifully.
I am very sorry I did not
take time to read this recipe
by copy the first time. From
now on I will be more careful.
And, I hope Mrs. Lewis Wilson,
who was mighty nice to send
the recioe to me, has not been
bothered by too many telephone
calls.
Grant Hodges, a lone-time
friend, came by for a visit the
other day. Grant is living in
Florida now and we decided
the ideal situation would be to
live in Boone half a year and
in Florida the cold half. It was
a good visit, though entirely
too short.
Billie (Cooke) and Maude
(Kelley) gave a pretty lunch
eon for Pat Dowling in Lenoir
Thursday. It wn a garden party
at the home of Irene Eatep,
and It was a lovely place to be.
I enjoyed every minute of the
day. Met Hrs. Gifford, wife of
the editor of the Hickory Daily
Record who goes around the
world at the drop of a hat. She
is a most interesting person
and I was sorry when he had
to come home.
Went to the steak dinner Mr.
and Mrs. A. V. Zimmerman
gave at the Blowing Rock
Country Club Wednesday even
ing. Had great fun there . . .
and at the buffet supper given
by the Tom Dy sards and the
Dick Browns at the club Satur
day evening. The season is in
full swing and is so exciting.
Would be nice if it could last
all year.
Wish both of you could have
gone to Pat's wedding Saturday.
Everything about it was lovely,
especially Sara Lind Dowling
Craig's two little girls. I'll al
ways be grateful to the young
est one who diverted my atten
tion just as the tears were well
ing up. I always cry at wed
dings . . . which is why I so
seldom go. Don't think I ever
saw the church decorated pret
tier. They used pink candles
instead of white and I liked
them.
Our new paper, The Blowing
Rocket, is doing real well.
Gary Dalton (the editor) was
fortunate in getting Mrs. Laura
Pharr to do the society for us.
It's good of you to assist at
times, Rachel, and between the
three of you a mighty good
paper is being published. Will
send you a copy each week
from now on, Jane. Our Demo
crat is still in great demand
and we are having difficulty
judging the number of copies
to print. Ran out last week.
Never dream we would ever
need more than 5,000 copies
per week. We're delighted,
however.
Rachel, you did such a cute
story on Jay North, TV'? Den
nis the Menace, who was at
Tweetsie last week. Have heard
loads of comment* on it. I am
sorry I didn't go with you to
see him. Time wouldn't per
mit!
See you soon.
Lore,
Mom
