Recipes From Tar Heel Kitchen
By MISS YORK KIKER
N. C. Dept. of Agriculture
Years ago, Dr. George
Carver may have discovered
numerous uses of peanuts, but
currently Americans are making
their own discovery of
peanuts. The interest in
peanuts doubtless has been
effected by the political
spotlight on a family associated
with the peanut industry plus
the high prife tag and scarcity
of tree nuts.
Among the discoveries are
the many uses for peanuts and
their importance as a source of
food energy, protein, fat,
phosphorous, niacin, and thiamine.
Discovery of the
available forms of peanuts can
help in shopping satisfaction.
How is your peanut vocabulary?
Peanuts are sold in glass
jars, cans, bags, and other
types of packages and are
available in many forms:
In The Shell: Raw (jumbo
and fancy are the grades
available). Roasted, RoastedSalted
in the shell.
Shelled: Raw-red skins on
(extra large and medium
grades); skins have been
removed.
Salted: Cocktail, Dry Roast
ed.
Boiled: Peanut granules and
peanut meal, in peanut butter,
candies, cookies, and other
confections.

Longer Lasting
Tiny batteries in watches
may last more than a year, hut
inventors want then to last
longer. One patent uses a
hattery recharged by sunlight
or reflected light from bulbs,
with the watch face acting as a
solar cell. Another would use a
radioactive element whose
measured rate of decay would
be converted into electrical
impulses. The nuclear watch
could run for more than a
centurv.
AN ELEGANT TABLE includes extra decorative touches
such as charming stoneware figures and sturdy stoneware
dishes, all with the look of Danish good design.
Many successful hostesses
have found that one secret
to getting a gathering off to
the right start is to start
with the right setting for the
table.
More than just a place for
plates, a table should help
to create a mood, complement
the menu or welcome
the guests—and gain compliments
for the hostess.
One way to gracious entertaining
is with the new
natural look. Start with
smart rattan mats and match
them up to woven baskets,
a simple ceramic bowl full
of bright, dried flowers and
plain candles set in spoolshaped
candle-s,ticks.
Accent your table setting
as £ou do the rest of your
home with charming figurines.
To aid the natural
setting, do as the Danes do
and borrow for the table
some pieces used in decora
tion around the house, such
as these bird and animal
figures. They're especially
attractive when they're created
in stoneware by the
Danish makers of fine porcelain
and quality tableware,
Binti & Grondahl.
They also have just
brought the delightful look
of a Danish design to smart
stoneware tableware. Called
Tenia, it's the color of oatmeal
with green-bronze
banding, executed in sturdy
stoneware for a sophisticated
natural look.
Keep your cloth simplesuch
as snowy white linenand
roll up the matching
napkins in basic brown rings.
Silverware with the same
clean line and shine of the
rest of the setting completes
the picture —and makes it
all a fine reflection on your
taste and sophistication.
