PAGE 4, KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1971 ¥/ To Women...By Sylvia Holmes Phone: 739-5829 or 739-3851 My Cup Of Tea.... Several days ago I was trying to explain how the English prepare the Inevitable “cup of tea” and I came to realize that quite a complicated ritual has evolved In the land where Iced tea Is unknown, instant tea Is ignored and tea bags are used only by the catering table. Start by filling a kettle with freshly drawn cold water from the faucet. Bring this water to a rapid boll. English tea Is always pre pared in a tea pot and everyone has their favorite pot such as one made of brown cottage china. Personally, I always use a stainless pot of modern design. When tbe water In the kettle Is boiling, a little Is poured into the empty tea pot and swished around in order to warm the pot, then It is emptied away. Loose tea leaves are then spooned Into the warm pot. 1 teaspoonful per person plus 1 teaspoonful extra (for the pot). Water (still rapidly boil ing) is then poured Into the pot, quantity de pending upon the amount of tea required. The tea is then left to ‘steep’ or brew for about 3 or 4 minutes. 1 always give the tea in the pot a quick sUr around at this time. Tea is customarily drunk wltii milk and perhaps sugar. The milk is usually poured into the cup before the tea is added. A strain er placed over the cup prevents tea leaves being poured into the cup but this is an op tional part of the ritual. There is an art to drinking a cup of tea without swallowing any loose leaves which then remain in the last few drops of tea which are never drunk. The residual in the tea cup does not always go to waste however, if there happens to be a fortune teller in the company. The liquid is swished around the cup sides three times to spread the tea leaves on the surface then the cup is upturned on the saucer and allowed to drain for several seconds. A competent read er of tea leaves can then tell your fortune and make exciting predictions such as a letter about to be received and a tall dark stranger about to be met! S.H. Weekly Recipe With Thanksgiving only a few days away, working becomes Recipe Corner With Thanksgiving only a few days away, cooking becomes very seasonal and many old, tried, tradional dishes make their way onto well-Clad tab les. This week Mrs. Bryon Hord gives us two seasonal recipes using oysters. The Epicurean Oysters recipe is one she has used frequently - it’s a tasty supper dish and comes from one of her recipe books. The Scalloped Oysters is a dish of her own creation and she has specially written down the recipe for the Mirror. Mrs. Hord has lived in Kings Mountain tor 43 years and has taught here for 29 years in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in elementary schools(mos- tly 4th grade.) She is now retired although she still occasionally does substitute teaching. EPICUREAN OYSTERS 1 pint solid oysters 3 level tablespoons butter 1/2 cup cream 1/2 teaspoon celery salt Pepper (black or red) 2 tablespoons commerical sherry or 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt to taste Pick over oysters. Cook for three minutes in butter. Add cream, celery salt, salt and pepper. Bring to boll. Add flavoring immediately before serving. Serve by pouring over hot toast. SCALLOPED OYSTERS 1 Stick margarine or 1/2 stick pure butter 1 cup fresh whole milk 1/2 cup condensed milk or 1/2 cup of half and half 2 whole eggs 1 1/2 pints frying size oyst ers 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups cracker meal or finely crushed club crackers. Pick over oysters to remove small pieces shell, set aside. Make sauce by beating eggs slightly then adding milk, le mon juice, salt and pepper. Butter well a 7” X 12” pyrex dish (bottom and sides) First place in dish a thin layer of cracker crumbs, than a layer of oysters. Spread out and then pour half the sauce over them. Then make a second layer of crackers, then oysters and pour the remaind- ing sauce over them. Lastly sprinkle a very thin layer of crushed crackers over tbe top. Place margarine or butter slices over the top layer of crackers. Put into a 350 degree oven and bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until brown. Serve hot.

She has no help and has to bring the child with her to the club. Some of the members seem to re sent this but I think it is very unfair of them because this is how things work out. She gives the child her lunch before she comes and puts the child to sleep when she comes in. The child sleeps, as that is her regu lar nap time, until the game is finished. Do you think anyone should object to that? M would have to get out of the club if she couldn’t bring the baby. Please answer so the rest of the members can read what you have to say. Irene—Wis. Answer: If the child is no trouble and her mother has no one to leave her with it seems only kind for the rest of the club to agree to that arrange ment. Now 1 do think it is an imposition to bring children to an adult's club if they interfere with the game or cause any confusion. In such a case a sitter for a few hours should be found or a plan with some other young mother should be worked out. They could each take one day to care for the two children and this would give both mothers a free afternoon. Relatives, also make good baby sitters and they can be repaid in other ways besides cash. Louisa.
