X food news & cues
By Mrs. Mary Gillespie
It has been said that pio -
neer women came to this wil
derness area with their Bibles
and frying pans and that we,
their descendents, still cling
to both. We would urge you
to still cling to your Bible
and the frying pan has not lost
its usefulness—hut it might be
better for most of is if we used
it less often.
Our way of life is greatly
changed from pioneer days.
We no longer do the kind of
physical labor that bums up
excessive fats in our diets,
and too many fried foods may
become a health problem.
Make use of your oven and
give your frying pan a rest.
One food or whole meals can
be cooked at the same time.
This is good news to those of
you who need to watch their
weight or are on low fit diets.
Fish is a very good source
of protein and it is low in fat
for those who are calorie con
scious.
We came across this recipe
for baked stuffed fish in Mrs.
Mary Margaret Deyton's col
lection. It is very good as
well as attractive when served
on a platter and garnished
with lemon wedges andsprgs
of parsley.
BAKED STUFFED FISH
3 or 4 lbs. fish dressed
11/2 tsp. salt
4 tblsp. melted butter
Wash and dry fish—rub in
side and out with salt. Stuff
fish loosely with bread stuff
ing. Close opening with need
le and thread or skewers.
Place in well greased baking
pan. Brush with butter and
bake in 350 degree oven for
40-60 minutes —Baste with
melted butter occasionally.
Bread Stuffings
1/2 cupchopped onion
1/2 cup celery
2 tblsp. melted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Worchesterehire sauce
1/2 tsp. sage
2 cups bread crumbs
Cook onion and celery
In butter about ten minutes.
Add bread crumbs and season
ings and mix thoroughly. If a
softer stuffing is desired, add
a small amount milk. Since
we use frozen fish fillets <jiife
Mitchell and Yancey County Farmers Attend Class On Growing Horticultural Crops
the Clearmont Elementary
School with excellent cooper
ation from Superintendent Ed
Hunter and principal Garrett
Anglin.
Each student was mthusias
tic in learning all he or she
could to grow a better crop of
tomatoes or other crops. Each
realized the only way to in
crease their income on the
farm was to be better inform
ed about what they are grow -
ing.
often in this area,we wonder
if you might use recipe and
put a spoonful of stuffing on
the filet and roll and fasten
with toothpick and bake. If
you try this method let us
know the results.
Baked potatoes are a favo
rite with fish, and from the
Extension Service, we have
