DEAR BETTY CROCKER
Q. A recent recipe called for
plumped raisins. How do I doi that?
' s.w
Dickinson, N.D.
A. Soak raisins in liquid to be used
in recipe for 10 to 15 minutes before
using them. Or, rinse, spread on
cookie sheet, cover with aluminum
foil and heat in 350*F oven until they
puff, about 5 minutes. Raisins benefit
by plumping when used in short
coolcing recipes.
Q. Why do recipes such as quiche
call for just a pinch of nutmeg?
V.P,
Fort Atkinson, Wis.
A. Even a little nutmeg adds iti
fragrant sweetness and a touch of col
or to egg dishes, casseroles,
beverages, cookies, cakes, sauces,
vegetables and breads.

UNFETTERED
If ever we tend to feel heavy laden,
weighed down by problems, we need
not stay in such a state of mind. We
have the power to refuse to be cast
down, to refuse to let conditions or
circumstances or other people
depress us. We have the power to
soar, to transcend ourselves and all of
our affairs. “There is lifting up.’’
Florence Hawn
RELAXATION
Relaxed and at ease in mind and
body we move through each day do
ing the things that need to be done,
meeting the things that must be met,
maintaining always an inner sereni
ty, an inner peace, an inner
weightlessness.
Rose Lightburne
GIVE
Life is a generous giver. We must
give as life gives, with no thought of
return. We must give out of the abun
dance of our hearts. We must give out
of the overflowing measure of
good—material and spiritual—with
which we are constantly blessed. Life
gives itself to us. We must give
ourselves to life.

HEARTS
We were given hearts, but it was

ZEAL
Zeal is the affirmative of existence,
its command is “Go forward.” To be
enthusiastic means to be inspired or
to have an intense interest in
something. To be zealous means to
possess an enthusiastic devotion or
ardor for something. Therefore, zeal
and enthusiasm are qualities that
spur us on to great accomplishment.

interchangeable? Does the salt need
to be adjusted in a recipe?
M.G.L.
Fairmont, Minn.
A. The two butters are inter
changeable in most recipes and
there’s no need to adjust salt.
However, puff pastry recipes have
been shown to perform better with
unsalted butter.
