■ 1 a Tortillas Dip Into TJie Holiday Spirit When it comes to making the most of the Chrisfm»« holiday season, we can find lots of ideas from our south-of-the-border neighbors in Mexico who celebrate with holiday oarties and pinata breaking ceremonies The holiday foods served throughout the season are generous and delicious. Even Mexico’s daily bread, tortillas, takes on new charm and flavor in a variety of dishes at holiday tables. For examples, the traditional Mexican Christ mas cookies, delicate, flaky, sugared wafers, are remarkably easy to make with flour tortillas. Just cut the tortillas into your favorite holiday shapes, fry crips and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. For a change of pace, Pinata Foods home economists have adapted the recipe, using corn tortillas cut into pinata shapes, and fried for dipping into a spicy bean dip as a party appetizer. To order your own Pinata Cookie Cutter, send 60 cents without proof of purchase to P. O. Box 9046, Clinton, Iowa 52736, or send five proofs of purchase from any size of Pinata or La Tolteca Brand flour tortillas or enclose two proofs of purchase and 50 cents and mail to: Pinata Cookie Cutter, P. O. Box 8187, Clinton, Iowa 52736. Cut out the word “FLOUR” from front of packages.

This Recipe Has Been Tested By a Consumer Test ’anelist. Lower Hot Water Usage Saves Money Heating water uses about 5 percent of the energy sed in the home. Conserving hot water can esult in significant sav lgs of your energy dollars, ay Agricultural Extension pecialists at North Caro na State University. A temperature of 100 de rees F. is all that is eeded for some hot water ses, but 140 degrees F.

For electric watei heaters, increasing the in sulation thickness from tw< to three inches could resull in a savings of about five percent. When you purchase a new heater, specialists ad vise you to be sure to find out about the amount oi insulation. To keep your water heat er operating efficiently, keep it clean and in goo< repair.

Just make two pans of everyone’s favorite Marshmallow Treats, cut out and assemble the house, and add miniature decorations - pepper mint shrubs, gum drop door knob, licorice windows. The result is a holiday treat for everyone. Prepare one 15Vi x 10'* x 1-inch pan of Marshmallow Treats using the following: Vi cup margarine or butter 1 package (16 oz., about 60) g regular marshmallows ™ 10 cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal wen margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Cook over low heat 3 minutes longer, stirring con stantly. Remove from heat. Add cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly into buttered pan. Cool complete ly. Let stand 8 hours or overnight. NOTE: Remember that 1 cup of Rice Krispies cereal weighs about l ounce. So a 6-oz. package of Rice Krispies cereal will contain about 6 cups. Best results are obtained when using fresh marshmal lows. I— Cutting Out The House Using the measurements shown in Fig. 1, cut out patterns from paper or cardboard for each piece of the house. Then lay the patterns over the 15t4xl0^xl-inch pan of Treats and cut around them. Remove pieces from the pan and lace on waxed paper. Decorating The House Prepare Icing: 2 egg whites 2Vi cups sifted confectioner’s sugar Assorted candies for decorating In small bowl of electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy and slightly thickened. Add sugar, cup at a time, beating after each addition. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes until a stiff icing is formed. Using the icing as “glue,” decorate the front, back and sides of the house with assorted candies. Alow to dry completely. Assembling The House Remove, in one piece, the Marshmal low Treats from the 13x9x2-inch pan. This will serve as the base for the house. Set on heavy cardboard or a tray. Assemble the house, using icing to cement the decorated walls together, (see Figs. 2 and 3) Prepare more of the above icing if needed Ice peaks of both end walls. Fold an 8*iiXll-inch piece of colored cardboard in half crosswise. Place the cardboard over the peaks to form roof. Hold in place until icing sets Ice the chimney sections together. Place in position on roof using icing to anchor it. Hold in place until icing sets. Cover root witn icing using a spatula or pastry bag. Swirl surface to look like snow.
