RALEIGH Have you
met Herman yet? He’s a

ATTRACTIVE SHAPE—The use of disposable aluminum
foilware pans can give bread, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls,
etc. an attractive shape. The option of overwrapping a
second item for the freezer is an extra bonus for the busy
cook. A booklet on the subject is available free by writing
“Freezing Foods With Reynolds Wrap” P. 0. Box 27003,

friend.
Who is Herman? He’s the
popular sourdough starter
for rolls and coffeecakes
that people are falling in
love with. This recipe has
literally been passed all
over the United States, and I
suspect it’s moving around
in other countries, too.
Herman originally was
used to make a delicious
coffeecake. This cake, along
with a cup of starter, was
shared with a friend and
was therefore called
Friendship Cake.
Americans are creative
cooks, though, and soon
began to use the starter in
all sorts of recipes. I think
some of the variations are
better than the original. The
cinnamon rolls are my
favorites. They’re quick and
easy yet taste like toe yeast
raised kind that take hours.
Another good variation is
to add to the coffeecake
mixture whatever fresh
fruit is in season: for
example, 2 cups of
blueberries, sliced peaches,
or finely chopped apple.
Some people add a cup of
raisins, peanut butter, or
coconut. Even chocolate
chips and nuts will do.
The coffeecake includes
recipes for two toppings.
The after-baking glaze is
very sweet and can be
omitted. Try it both ways to
see which you like best.
The time will come when
you’ll either have so much
starter or no time to bake
and you’ll be tempted to let
it die. When you get to this
point, just freeze it. I like to
freeze a cup to start over
with and the rest in two cup
batches ready for baking.
Remember that he grows!
Be sure to use a large
container in the refrigerator
and when carrying it to a
friend. I once carried some
in a jar filled to the top and
covered with waxed paper
secured with a rubber band.
The day was warm, and
before I got to my friend’s
house Herman had burst
free and was merrily
growing all over the front
seat of my car.
Herman Starter
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
2 cups plain flour, sifted
V 4 cup sugar
In a large glass container,
dissolve yeast in the warm
water.
Gradually add this to the
flour and sugar. Beat until
smooth. Cover loosely and

Edenton-Chowan Parents Invited To Visit Schools
An invitation to visit any
of Edenton-Chowan’s school
cafeterias is extended to all
citizenry October 12-16. The
school system which is a
member of the American
School Food Supervision,
will be observing National
School Lunch Week at this
time. Letters are being sent
home from all schools with
personal invitations for
parents.
“Nourish Your Neutrons”
is the theme for promoting
the national event, which
has been observed since 1962
when President John F.
Kennedy signed the
National School Lunch Week
bill into law. “Eat to Learn,
Learn to Eat” has been the
slogan for the past four
years.
On Universal Lunch Day,
October 14, participating
schools throughout the state
will serve the identical
meal. This year’s menu
consists of Deli turkey on a
Sesame bon, vegetable
dippers, crispy potatoes,
chilled mixed fruit, milk and
million dollar cookies.
National School Lunch
Week is a good time to
inform the public on some
local facts surrounding local
school cafeterias. Even with

the necessary rise in costs,
this year, Mrs. Etta
Hathaway, Director of
School Food Service, feds
that meals are still a good
deal. Every meal served has
to meet the nutritional and
measurement criteria
established by the national
Nutrition Standards
Committee.
Chowan County’s public
school students can take
advantage of having
breakfast, as well as lunch,
provided at school. At
Chowan Junior High and
John A. Holmes High
Schools, a sandwich line is
available for students who
might not prefer the meal
being served on a given day.
For K-6 students, it is
required that the regular
meal be served. To prevent
food waste a student has the
option of taking only three of
the five items offered in a
regular plate.
Participation in the local
school food service is good.
For the twenty-two day
period starting with the
beginning of school and
ending September 30, 10,393
breakfasts and 46,454
regular and sandwich line
lunches were served. In
addition to the % pint of
sugar to taste. Roll as for
jeUy roll, starting with the
long side. Cut into W in.
slices.
Topping:
1 stick margarine, melted
1 cup brown sugar
Vi cup chopped nuts
Combine and spread in the
bottom of a 9x13 in. pan.
Place the slices of dough on
top of this and bake about 30
mins, at 350 degrees. Invert
pan IMMEDIATELY to
milk coming with each
meal, 8,082 extra cartons of
milk were sold during this
period.
The thirty-five cafeteria
staff members in the five
lunchrooms are dedicated to
making the meals as
tasteful and attractively
served as possible. Their
school day begins with their
7:15 A.M. arrival to prepare
and serve breakfast, before
preparing lunch.
“Our cafeteria staff
prides itself as
professionals,” Mr?.
Hathaway beamed. Thirty
