STALLINGS REALTY Pamela Stallings, Realtor 482-8709 Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, February 14, 1960 This year, February 14th falls on a Thursday. But, romance doesn’t have to be sacrificed just because of weekday time limitations. A little advance planning can produce that extra special meal, sure to impress Cupid. A flavorful vegetable stuffing in a pair of rock Cornish hois could highlight the midweek Valentine’s Day feast. We recently found that one of the little lards made enough meat to please both of us and it was quite inexpensive. Os course, the stuffing, gravy and vegetables extended the entree and wine and can dlelight added the pleasant atmosphere. We are suggesting a different stuffing. It is a seasoned mixture of carrots, celery, onion, parsley, and walnuts which is pleasantly light, yet rich and satisfying in flavor. It can be prepared in advance and spooned into the hen’s cavities just before roasting. Cherry tomatoes, also called “love apples,” are certainly appropriate for Cupid’s repast. The ingredients of this side dish are combined in just a few minutes and then baked right along with the birds. To put that extra sparkle into this Valentine’s Day menu add a ruby-red dessert that fulfills every romatic’s dream.
