(Sawyer Photo) Extension Forum By Mrs. M.B. Taylor Home Economics Extension Agent Now is the time to capture the zest of summer vegetables to enjoy the rest of the year. While the garden gets its annual vacation this winter your freezer works to keep the garden goodness in the vegetables. Because of your freezer you can put pep into your meals 365. days a year. Grandma had to wait until spring when the shoots of asparagus and the first tender leaves of mustard greens came out of the ground. You have zestful foods at arm's reach year 'round. Take our North Carolina sweet bell peppers as an example. From now until frost they pep up other foods with their distinctive flavor and dashing color. But Jack Frost need not rob your meals of sweet bell peppers, with their high rating of vitamins A and C. If you have none in your garden and do not live near a commercial field of them you can buy stuffed peppers and diced peppers frozen and store them in your freezer to use at will. If fresh peppers are available to you, freeze your own. The California Wonder, Keystone Giant, and Yolo Wonder are good varieties, as are others to freeze. ; When to Freeze You can judge the maturity of a pepper by a slight squeezing pressure with the fingers. If the pod is firm, it is mature enough to harvest. As with other vegetables ' (and fruits), use care in this for a bruised pepper is not good to freeze. : Sweet bell pepper color progresses to full maturity from green through considerable brownish, chocolate-like color to full red. Some less popular ' (though beautiful) varieties are orange, yellow, or even white when they mature. The characteristic pepper flavor is strongest at the green stage, but the peppers freeze well at any stage. Get them into the freezer as soon as you can after they are harvested. How To Blanch Wash, cut in half (or if small and you want to use whole ones to stuff, slice off the tops and remove insides.) Give them a quick scald. Use a gallon of vigorously boiling water to a 1 pound of peppers. Keep heat high so the water continues to boil when you add the peppers. Cover the kettle. Boil two minutes. Remove and plunge peppers into icy water. Move them around so they will cool quickly. : Remove from the water just as soon as the peppers are cool. (The more and the colder the water slush ice is good the sooner the peppers cool.) If you plan to cut your peppers into smaller pieces than halves, do so after you scald and chill them. ' Why Blanch Scalding (or blanching) prevents further flavor changes from taking place in the peppers. Because this vegetable rates unusually high in Vitamin C and surveys show that tarheels do not eat enough of this vitamin, you need to handle it so that it retains as much of its original amount as possible. Blanching peppers makes them pliable so that they pack easily, and prevents pepper odor in the To Package Use good freezer containers or packaging materials'. If you use polyethylene bags, use those which are Vz mils thick. (These are not easy to find, but ask for them. They are . made and can be bought by your dealer.) Aluminum foil (.0015 thickness is best, though the so-called "freezer" foil in the grocery store works if you take care in handling the packages) is excellent for the nests (one ' pepper or half pepper placed into another until you have as many as you need for a meal). - ; Why Good Packaging When you mold foil to the peppers you chase away air which is a secret enemy of frozen foods and also of Vitamin C which you need to keep in the peppers. You get the same result by pulling the air out of a bag of blanched peppers. Use a heavy drinking straw or a bubble blower; Pull as much air out as you can. Then seal or close the bag with a gooseneck twist. Air in the package can change color, flavor, and texture of frozen foods. Keep it out. -Why Freeze Peppers If you want to give interest to your winter meals, save the cost of high priced out - of - North -Carolina - season fresh peppers, and add needed Vitamin C to your family's diet. . . . ' t v. irj Peppers Are Pepper-Uppers Peppers are pepper-uppers! Beautiful and plentiful N.C. weet peppers are available in good quality and supply. In raw an (f cooked form, peppers can boost our dishes. Peppers are correctly named fof they have the ability to pep up meals that otherwise might be rather tasteless. Fortunately, peppers are low, in calories and are a good Source of vitamin C. A recent tour of the Faison, ' produce auction market, in the heart ' of eastern North Carolina's pepper growing area, Was a fascinating and enlightening experience. It is hard to imagine the amount of , work behind, the scenes in growing, packing, inspecting, and marketing peppers and other vegetables. The chant of the auctioneer was mysterious to spectations unfamiliar with the process,- but the buyers, present from all over the East Coast,: understood perfectly. Many,! many truckloads of . various kinds of peppers were inspected and sold in a short time. These marvelous pepper uppers finally make their way to the grocery stores or a, far mer's market where they may be purchased1. - v - Pungent or hot type peppers ; will need to be used sparingly, but North Carolina's sweet or bell peppers can be served delightfully in larger quantities. Sweet peppers are often bell shaped as the name indicates, but can be long, and somewhat . slender and pointed. . When purchasing peppers, watch for medium to dark green color and a glossy sheen. Peppers should be relatively heavy and have firm walls or sides. Sweet green peppers turn a bright red when fully matured. Avoid peppers that have thin walls and are wilted, flabby, cut or bruised. Sweet peppers will lose their crispness but may be frozen satisfactorily for later use in cooking. Wash peppers, remove seeds and white membranes. Cut into halves. Scald for 2 minutes and freeze. The N. C. Department of Agriculture specialsit in charge of grading at the Faison market shared a favorite use for sweet peppers with scrambled eggs. Heat small amount of butter and diced peppers in skillet until peppers are slightly sof tened. Add beaten eggs and proceed to scramble according to usual method. ; Additional recipes are given as few suggested ways to in clude peppers in your meals. Modernize with AUTOMATIC LP-Gas appliances!

It wasn't the part about actually getting married that bothered me, but rather the preparations that go along with this happy affair,, ; The most enjoyable part was just sitting back and . watching everyone else run around like a headless chicken. The least enjoyable part was the fact that it turned out that I was also a deheaded fowl. m All of the chaos begins that minute you tell everyone that you are planning . on getting married. The first problem that arises is setting a date. . This can be a delicate area. , Cooking , Out "The outdoor pastime of barbecueing should remain outside," advises Don Costa, safety director of the Allstate Insurance Companies. Otherwise, what begins as a festive meal may finish as a tragic disaster. f " "Many people regard the use of charcoal briquets harmless indoors, while dangerous quantities of carbon monixide may accumulate," Costa warns. "Sufficient air is needed to rid the poisonous gases from burning charcoal." , Like coal, the combustion of charcoal generates odorless but deadly carbon monoxide gas. Poisonings and even asphyxiations have been reported when briquets were burned indoors. "Never use briquets in a garage, basement or any other enclosed area, such as a porch, tent, cabin or car," warns Costa. The same caution applies to Japanese hibachis, often used on dining room tables. When a hibachi is used indoors, place it near an open window or door as a sensible precaution against carbon monoxide, lac cumulation. When using briquets in a fireplace, make certain : the damper is open with sufficient draft in the chimney. "Proper ventilation assures the escape of lethal gases," ' Costa con cludes. - i - . -'rj ' ' fcC i 1 rj S3 W3 Louise's Beauty Boutique at .

Check with Uncle Willy before planning too far ahead. It would certainly be a shame to have the wedding before his new set of mail-order teeth arrived. Make sure the wedding won't be during the hay fever season, since Aunt Lucy would be embarrassed beyond end if she sneezed all through the ceremony. After finally deciding on a date, the next step is to ask special friends to be in your wedding. When the world finds out that you are getting married, you'll think you are the kid on the Planter's peanut commercial. You'll have more friends than you ever realized. If you asked all of your friends, you'd end up with a churchful of bridesmaids and ushers. After you finally limit it to a hundred or so attendants, the next earth-shaking catastrophe is the selection of wearing apparel.

After you finally decide on something nice in the line of dinner jackets, you'll discover there is at least one radical in the group that Insists on wearing faded blue jeans. Selecting music can also be a pain. With high hopes of dreamy love songs and beautiful wedding music, you'll find that the nearest you'll come to finding that in sheet 1 music will be something like "The Candy Man" or "My Ding-A-Ling," After you've finally worked out all the major problems, the big day will arrive. Without fail, you'll forget at least a million things that you will have to go back home for, and something will need a safety pin that you don't have. But everyone will be nice and say that they didn't even notice that the bride didn't have on her shoes, or that the groom was perspiring , rather heavily. ; Through some unknown miracle, it will all go off smoothly, with all your dear friends and relatives saying what a beautiful wedding it was. -K And just when you think that you've made it arid everything was fine, you'll notice a flat tire on the get away car. ,; i FROM GERMANY I Mr. and Mrs. Michael Holz and son, Gabriel, of West BerlinGermany were guests of Mrs. C.
