Creative Cooking From The Herald Kitchen
By Mildred Huskies
Our calendar denies it, but
our garden confirms that
spring is a little nearer than
just around the corner.
The daffodils are nodding
bravely at the crisp, cool
twilights which have
followed on the beds of
unseasonably warm
temperatures which
awakened most of our bulbs
and flowering shurbs.
Another sure sign of
spring is tender green
asparagus in the market.
Doesn’t it put a spring in
your step as you test the
tender stalks of asparagus
in the produce section and
turn to a golden bunch of
daffodils being offered on
the other aisle? You
immediately can see your
spring luncheon table
fresh asparagus and a vase
of daffodils or the first tulip
along with a fragrant
hyacinth or two.
Asparagus Divan is a
fitting salute to spring.

The
Spirit
of’76-
Farmers are the backbone of
America. It was their pioneering
efforts and their determination that
built America and led to the agri
cultural self-sufficiency Americans
enjoy today. Since 1933, Pro
duction Credit Associations have
been helping farmers use credit
effectively to help them progress.
Your PGA is farmer owned and
understands the needs of farmers
andwe know that the farmer of
1976 has the same spirit of the
farmers of 1776. Your PGA salutes
ttte American Farmer during this bi
centennial year and looks forward
to serving you for many years
to come.

simmered just to the point of,
tender crsipness. Then the
chicken and asparagus is
blanketed with a creamy
sauce. After a brief trip in
the oven, Asparagus Divan
is ready to enjoy.
The artichoke is another
bright star in the springtime
vegetable galaxy. And even
if you’ve never prepared one
before, you’ll agree that this
method is simplicity itself.
If you can boil water, you
can prepare artichokes. The
Lemon Butter Sauce that
accompanies the artichokes
is equally easy to make, and
brings out all the fresh
flavor of this vegetable,
that’s so much in tune with
the joys of spring.
Asparagus Divan
1 broiler-fryer chicken
(about 3 lbs.)
2Vz cups water
1 onion, peeled and
studded with 4 whole cloves
1 rib celery
2 teaspoons salt, divided

Place chicken in large
saucepan with water, onion,
celery and one teaspoon
salt. Bring to boil, reduce
heat and simmer covered
until tender, about one hour.
Strain broth and reserve one
and one-half cups. Remove
meat from chicken and cut
into long, thin slices. Set
aside and prepare
asparagus. Cut or break off
each stalk as far down as it
snaps easily. Wash
thoroughly. Plade trimmed
asparagus in two layers in
large skillet or saucepan.
Sprinkle with remaining one
teaspoon salt and add
boiling water to depth of one
inch. Cover and simmer
about 10 minutes, until
lower part of stalk is just

pancake turner or two forks.
Set aside. Melt butter in
saucepan; add garlic, and
tomato; cook about five
minutes. Blend in flour. Stir
in reserved chicken broth
and milk. Cook stirring
constantly, until thickened,
about 10 minutes. Remove
from heat, stir in sherry,
and season with salt and
pepper to taste. To assemble
dish, place chicken on
bottom of shallow three
quart casserole. Cover with
cooked asparagus, then
sauce. Bake at 400 degrees
about 12 minutes or until
hot. Serves four or five.

around the bottom. Snip off
sharp leaf tips with scissors.
In a large kettle or saucepan
bring two to three inches of
water to boil. Add salt, oil,
garlic, lemon and

“What are
those
brown spots
on my hands?”
You may think they’re just big freck
les, or sun spots. Maybe somebody
told you they were “liver spots.” But
they're most likely age spots.
Do you have to put up with age
spots?
The answer is no. You can fade
age spots with Esoterica Medicated
Cream.
Esoterica works because it
goes below the skin surface.
Esoterica stops excess pigmenta
tion, so the spot fades.
If you use Esoterica daily as
directed, you should see a clearer,
more youthful-looking skin tone in
six weeks.
Fade age spots

You can help cut costs on
your electric bill by using elec
tricity wisely. Use cold water for
your laundry and keep your
thermostat at 68 degrees. If you
build a new home, consider an
economical heat pump. It is one
of the most efficient examples of
solar energy today. All of these
ideas add up to savings on your
electric bill.
