Great Gumbo!
Mention "Gumbo" to most folks and the reaction's i V
lflceh to be "New Orleans' or "Southern specialty:"!
Actually, gumbo originated in Africa where it was a
kind of fish stew.3 An African dish called "CarunT with
. shrimp, okra, onions, "greens, dried malagueta pepper
and salt, was the model for the shrimp gumbos that
became the popular Southern dish. - -
Arid it is the basis for our delicious Authentic
Shrimp Gumbo. The original was much hotter,; however,
so if you prefer fiery foods, keep adding' red pepper. .
If you have avoided preparing gumbo because it
sounds complicated, this recipe may change your mind.
Authentic Shrimp Gumbo has three virtues - it is
easy to prepare, cooks in one pot in 45 minutes, and
taste experience has proved it to be a family and guest
favorite.
One of the primary ingredients for great gumbo is
okra. Once hard to find in most parts of the country,
okra is now available everywhere fresh-frozen. A good
source of Vitamins A and C, it "beefs up" the nutritional
value of this tasty dinner.
For a change of texture, serve the gumbo with a crisp,
flat Eastern bread, toasted. Pita is particularly good. A
light spread of cottage cheese makes a refreshing shift
from butter. Add a variety of luscious summer fruits for.
dessert.

MELON AND PLUM GOODNESS
In traveling, you are sure to spot large numbers of open-air
markets and grocery stores displaying fresh fruit produce. Among
the most featured are watermelons and plums.
Warm, summer days add up to melon selling and melon
eating time. If watermelon is your choice, here are some buying
tips. Choose one that has a yellowish white color on the side
that has lain on the ground. Or, if you don't want to trust your
judgment (if you want to see for yourself) you can buy melons
that have already been quartered or halved.
When looking at a cut melon, select one that has a good
red flesh color. Seeds diould be dark brown or black and the
flesh texture should be firm and succulent. Light-colored
flesh and white seeds indicate immaturity. Dry, mealy flesh,
or watery, stringy flesh that shows darkening or softening of
tissue ttext'to' seeds,' are' signs of overmaturity. There may be a "
harcTwhHe streak located length-wise through the flesh of the
watermelon. This condition, known as white heart, makes
eating quality very undesirable. No matter how you slice
watermelon, round or fang, serve it often as a delicious instant
dessert or as a snack.
Plums come in lots of colors, sizes and shapes, but they
all have one thing in common, they make mighty fine eating.
How do you choose the best plum? Well not by color of the
skin, because both skin and flesh colors vary with variety.
No matter what your choice, you'll do well to choose plums
that are plump, clean, fresh in appearance and fully colored.
Plums that are ready for eating are soft enough to yield
under a slight bit of pressure. Undermature fruit that is hard
or shriveled, will not ripen satisfactorily. Fruit that is over
mature may be soft, with some juice escaping.
Plums that are ripe and washed are ready to eat just as they
are. There is a sharp flavor contrast between the skin, which
may be somewhat tart, and the mild sweet flesh.
In a salad, fresh ripe plums combine well with pineapple
and seedless grapes, peaches and oranges. Also, plums can be
sundaes, plum pie or a plum whip. Canning plumb is easy and
sundaes, plum pie or a plum whip. Canning plums is easy and
don't forget plum jam as a way to serve this tasty fruit in off-
season months. . ' ,
Evangelist Curtis To Do Honored
At Appreciation Scrvico Sot.
An appreciation service community,
will be held at the W. D. Evangelist Curtis is
married to John William
Curtis and they are the
parents of three children.
THE FASHION ANGLE is
evident in Oscar de la
Renta Style IX. Sculptured
angles team up with a
distinctive bridge detail
for dramatic flattery...Style
IX is available in soft beige
or turquoise spectra and
in blue coral swirl color
coordinated lenses and sig
nature scarves to match.
With apologies to Mr. Mercer,
you've got to accentuate the
positive, eliminate the negative,
latch on to the coordinate and
don't mess with anything extreme.
"The essence of total fashion
is the subtle coordination of color
and form," says fashion great
Oscar de la Renta. "It's an axiom
accepted by women of style that
to achieve a 'together' look, one
must consider all the parts....
clothers, shoes, jewelry, scarves,
belts and bags to obtain a truly
coordinated whole."
But coordination mustn't end
there.
Whether a woman wears pre
scription glasses, fun-in-the sun
glasses or tints for sheer eye
appeal, she should n6ver overlook
the fact that eyewear is just as
much a part of her total look as
any other accessory.
Perhaps more!
Glasses cover one-third of her
face, so they're heardly inconspi
cuous. And a bad choice in terms
of color, shape or size can destroy
an otherwise smashing ensemble
effect
To prevent such a breakdown
in coordination, de la Renta has
again teamed up with an industry
leader to design a second generation
collection of frames.
Each of the ten designs (six
from the original collection and
four stunning new styles) is a
triumph of line and the harmoni
ous blending of color. Not only
do frames glow with dual tonali
ties, but. the lenses are two-color
coordinated as well.
And to carry that color coor
dination to the ultimate, de la
Renta has designed four signature
scarves which echo the color
harmonies featured in frames and
lenses apricot with burgundy
signatures, turquoise with dark
gray, beige with brown and light
blue with lavender. .
Frames, lenses and scarves
color coordinated and light as
a Spring breeze - let every woman
in the know accessorize comme
il faut.
