Who s Who In The Kitchen * Spice Collection Is One Of Dr. Joyce Waddell’s Biggest Kitchen Helps! By Audrey C. Lodato Post Staff Writer Not long ago. Dr. Joyce Waddell . wrote suggesting I interview her husband, E.E. Waddell, for Who’s Who In The Kitchen. Mr. Waddell modestly declined, but told me his wife would be an excellent choice. In talking with her about doing the article, she mentioned that she and some other sisters in Las Amigas had just put together a cookbook did I want to use that angle? “Great idea!” I exclaimed, and so a story wasTwrn. The cookbook, "Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice,” was com piled by Dr. Waddell and Cora Howard, with recipes contributed by many of the members of the ser vice organization. "We had so many recipes we like, that we decided to put together our favorites," ex plained Waddell, who has been involved with Las Amigas for the past six years. “We’re still in the process of adding more recipes to the cookbook,” she continued. “We want to add a section on low calorie soul food, as well." At this point, the group has no plans to market the cookbook. . _ JOYCE WADDELL’S =** SWEET POTATO PIE** 3 large sweet potatoes V* c. butter Vfe c. evaporated milk two-thirds c. sugar y« tsp. nutmeg Vfe tsp. ctanamenr 1 tsp. vanilla 9-inch baked pie shelf Boil sweet potatoes until tender.

Bernice Caldwell, makes herself at home In friend s kitchen. Rather, it is simply a way of sharing recipes with each other. On a recent afternoon. Dr. Wad dell was joined in the kitchen by Dora Mason, co-founder of Las Amigas, and Bernice Caldwell. & home economics teacher at Garin ger. While preparing some of their recipes, they shared tips and anec dotes. “I always advise students not to make recipes they see in the news paper right away,” remarked Ms. days to see if the paper runs any corrections in the recipe before going ahead with it.” (Surely the good lady wasn’t referring to The DORA MASON’S “ANGEL BISCUITS' _ 1 package active dry yeast _ 2 Tbsp. warm water (105-115 degrees) 1 c. shortening 5 c. self-rising flour Vfe c. sugar 1 tsp. baking soda 2 c. buttermilk Dissolve yeast in warm water. Cut shortening, flour, sugar, and baking soda with pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture until dough leaves side of bowl. Kneed; place dough into lightly greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Roll or pat dough into 2-inch biscuits, using cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour. Bake in medium oven until golden- brown (10-15 minutes). _ Post!?!) She also suggested that, when trying a new recipe, you follow it exactly the first time. After that, feel free to modify it to suit your own taste. _Pr^. Waddell, who works in staff development for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, finds that a microwave oven is a big help in her busy life. "It’s a lifesaver in the kitchen,” she commented. “You can thaw out a lot of things. I also use it to reheat foods, and they don’t taste like leftovers.” Another one of her big kitchen helps is her spice collection. “That’s my salvation,”’ she admitted. “Sometimes all you need is a little bit. Often, you don’t need some thing fresh. For instance, you can get onion flavor by using onion flakes.” One of her favorites is oregano. She warned that you have to use spices appropriately, which usually means adding only small amounts to dishes.

Dr. Waddell recalled a cooking disaster that -befell her some-years- - ago when she was in the ninth grade. “I was in 4-H,” she re counted, “and had won medals for my cornbread muffins. At one level, I scored a 99 by following the recipe exactly. When I got to the state level, a teacher thought she was helping me by measuring out the ingre dients ahead or time. BUI T wasTSO used to following the recipe exactly that I got confused and didn’t know what to do.” This was one time, she lamented, that someone’s helpful intentions caused more harm than good. Dora Mason is a special education teacher at Spaugh Middle School. A Charlotte native, -Ms. Mason has been teaching for 31 years. She related how, together with Mary . Moore, she came to found Las Amigas 27 years ago. “We taught together in a black high school,” she began. “There was such a great need to help underprivileged chil dren in our school. We said we would each invite five, friends who felt _ similarly. We didn’t want to call ourselves just ‘The Friends,’ so we decided on the Spanish name. What started out as a group of friends meeting here in Charlotte on February 5, 1957, has grown into a service organization with 24 chap-, teri throughout the'United States.
