We are fortunate to have such
excellent fish supplies in the U. S.
Because of this we find numerous
forms of fish in our markets at
economic prices at any time of the
year. If your family is already
cleaning the tackle for this fishing
season, you can arm yourself with
these serving suggestions. For de
licious steamed fish in foil, wrap
cleaned fish, seasoned with papri
ka, salt, pepper and butter in foil
. . . using drug store wrap. Bake
in 400 degree F. heated oven for
30 minutes. This keeps fish' moist,
cooked in its own juices. No fish
odors until you are ready to serve.
No pan to clean.
For a quick sauce to serve with
fish sticks combine 3/4 c. mayon
naise, 1/4 c. catsup and 1 T. chop
ped pickle or pickle relish.
Did you know that in the U. S.
each person eats an average of 11
lbs. of fish a year?
Most popular of all our spices
is black pepper. You probably eat
about 7 oz. a year! That’s about
PAGE THREE
1/4 tsp. a day. Pepper has many
uses as well as seasoning. For
example, many lozenges have pep
per as an essential ingredient and
it is used in hair tonics to stimu
late the scalp. It’s also used in per
fumes and soaps. Dusted around
cracks and holes, pepper will repel
insects. Dusted on clothes ( it pre
vents moth damage. It is also an
important preservative for all con
diments and processed meats.
March is known as cottage
cheese month. Just off the press
is a pamphlet on “How to make
and Use Cottage Cheese.” You can
order it by asking for pamphlet
No. 160 from N. C. Extension
Service, State College. Since this
cheese is an inexpensive source of
high quality protein, it is often
tagged, “cheapest meat you can
eat."
A new milk shake mix is new
this week. It makes fountain style
shakes at home in 30 seconds,
comes in four flavors—chocolate,
vanilla, strawberry and cherry. It
contains dried eggs, milk solids,
flavoring and sweetening. You
just add milk.
At the Nags Head H.D. meet
ing, Mrs. Carl Nunemaker had an
eye-catching Easter arrangement
on her coffee table last Thursday
evening. Eleven club members
were present. President Millicent
Mann presided.
During the month of March,
club memberships have increased
in 4 of the 11 clubs—Nags Head,
Rodanthe - Waves - Salvo, Buxton
and Wanchese all enrolled new
members.
