_
EVERY KIND OF FAD HAS SOME
ADVANTAGE.
Trouble Is, One Is Apt to Go Into
Them With Too Great Enthusiasm
at First?Three Good1 Exam
ples of That Kind.
l>o you remember n few years ago
when we all went wild about paper
| hag cookery ? Kverythlug from ho up to
pudding we talked In |Mi|>er bugs, uiul
I we vowed- that every dish that had
! been cooked by that new method po?
! sessed a strange deilciousness that
never have been gained but through
j tlm |m|>er buj; \\> Imunlit rwliw
IxmiKk uiul no ouil of InigM. Wo llkixl
I bo fail for a wliilo ami thou wo forgot.
We had a few failures and we became
disgusted. So passed the fad for paper
'migs.
And then came a new vogue for eas
I serofe cooking. To he sure, similar
j dishes had heen cooked witli sim
i ilar results in France, Spuin. tier- !
I many and Scotland, and other lands, i
for eons of years. Hut somehow our
culinary Interest was focused on the !
casserole, and we swore our eternal ;
and undying devotion to It. It was 1
1 chicken en casserole, beef en casserole |
: and everything else en cnsjterole until j
| we forgot all ahout the casserole and !
relegated It to the top shelf with the 1
paper hags.
At one time in the history of our
culinary experiments we became ad
dicted to the use of the tireless cooker.
We spent our good money on a large
and complete outfit and spent long j
hours experimenting with the various j
appliances. Hut before we had saved j
in fuel enough to cover half 'the cost
of the tireless cooker we grew weary :
and up to the attic went the tireless |
eooker in disgrace.
Now, the really sensible tiling to do j
? would be to accept these fails for
what they are worth and to keep them |
all. There are tilings that can in no !
other way he so well or so conveui- \
ently cooked as iu paper bugs. linked
fish in a paper hug is delicious ami
leuves no dishes to lie washed. Casser
ole chicken is more delicious than any
other sort of chicken and an occasional
casserole stew is well worth while. For i
cereals and many sorts of meat dishes,
the tireless cooker is a convenience to
; every housewife, and surely vegetables
l and puddings cooked in glass have
many decided, advantages. Therefore,
keep all these devices for what they
| are worth, and take care not to ex
| hnust your Interest at first by too great
i enthusiasm.
Garnishes for Foods.
i Flowers, fruits and the sweet gela
tin garnishes should be used only on
desserts. Jellies make attractive gar
nishes, for they sparkle and quiver
and. best of all. add to the taste of
what they decorate. Little molds for
stamping out decorations may be ,
bought, lint they are not needed if you
have a sharp--pointed knife and a
steady hand.
Invert a glass of very cold currant
? ?r era bap pie Jelly onto a cutting hoard
and'slice it, and then cut it Into strips,
hearts, rings and such figures. These
I are pretty on all custards and on float
ing island and delicate molds. t |
Bread Pudding.
Butter three thick slices of stale
bread and put In a buttered pudding
dish with one pint of milk. Set this
on back of the stove, or, it' tlier Js a
\ stove shelf, on the shelf and allow It
j to soak one hour. Beat two eggs with
; a piuch of salt and pour, with a la rye
j cooking spoon of Jamaica rum. ir.to
I the bread and tnilk, breaking the bread ,
! in pieces with the spoon; sprinkle in
i a few seeded raisins or currant* and
, bake in a slow oven until perfectly
| done, usually about an hour and a
half. Serve with a hard saftce.
Fruit Cake.
I Thrfle cupfuls sugar, four eggs, one 1
I and a half cupfuls melted luitter, one ;
| cupful sweet milk, one and a half cup- ,
i fuls molasses, one pound each of rals
j ins. cugrants, tigs und eitrojp running
i these through a food grinder, one tea
|? spoonful cloves, four teas|>oonfuls elu
| million, one nutmeg grated, seven cup- 1
| fuls flour sifted four times, one tea- j
' spoonful soda, half teaspoonful salt, j
j Bake three and a half hours, leaving j
I oven door, open tirst five and last 20
, minutes. Make two medium-sized |
! loaves.
Squash Pie.
One npd one-jpmrter cupful* steamed i
awl strained squash, one-fourth cupful j
sugar, one-half teas|>oonful salt, one
fourth tenspoonful cinnamon or nutmeg
or one-half teas|KK>nful letnon extract
(some like nutmeg heat), one egg, sev
en-eighths cupful milk. Mix sugar,
salt ami spice or extract, add squash,
egg slightly heuteti, ami milk gradually.
Hake In one crust. If a richer pie Is
desired, use one cupful squash, one
half cupful ouch of milk and cream
ami an additional egg yolk.
Knitting Help.
When knitting a sock or storking if
one will add a thread <d" good white
linen to the yarn when beginning the
heel ami knit every stitch plain on the
right sitle and purl every stitch on the !
! wrong side, which will do away with
the ribs, the heel will not he much
thicker than the rest of the foot and j
! will wear at least three times as long.
This is useful for children's winter i
stockings and men's socks.
.
Parkins.
One cupful shortening, one cupful
<uirar, one cupful molasses. two ctip
fuls rolled oats (uncooked), two eggs,
one teaspoonful soda (rounding), spice
to taste. Flour to make stlfT hatter,
so as to spread with knife. Drop by
spoonful on pan and pat out with knife
and hake. Do not place too near to
gether.
Rice Watsr Custard.
Here Is a nice deserrt: Boll rice
plain, tnko water rice was boiled In.
add one or two well-beaten egg* ac
cording to quantity.of water; sweeten
to-taste and boll na you would any
custard, stirring constantly to prevent
hurning; flavor as preferred and use
