8 Lancaster Farming, Friday, June 15, 1956 For the Farm Wife and Family It’s barbecued chicken time and we’d welcome beat receipes on the best way to pre pare this taste-tempting summer food Much has been discussed and cussed about barbecue cooking, but you can find no bet ter chicken, no better steak than comes off a charcoal-fired pit, fireplace, or spit. Send them along and give the poultry industry, which is a tremendous factor in Lancaster County agricultural economy to Lancaster Farming, Quart y ville, Pa. * $ Here’s a welcome letter from R 2 Manheim, Mrs. Monroe Dourte, for which this week we are sending a year’s extension to Lancaster Farming. She writes: I enjoy reading Lancaster Farming very much We all know “vanetyb is the spice of life,” and that is one of the good things about Lancaster Farming. I enjoy the news from Lancas ter County because that’s home news Then I appreciate Dr Foreman’s article on the Sunday School lesson, which supplies the Christian emphasis Also the an nouncements of the religious broadcasts, then, of course, the page for the Farm Wife and Family. I was born and raised on a farm, mained and helped my husband on the farm for 37 years. We are retired ten years, but still live on the farm, which to us seems the best place to live whether one is young or getting older Here are a few hints I have found helpful and economical: DREDGING When a recipe says, “drddge with flour,” I put flour and sea soning in a paper bag (a 5-lb granulated sugar bag is fine), drop in the food which can be fish, chicken livers or what have you, and shake well The food will be evenly coat ed, no flour will be wasted, and no mess Also doughnuts can be easily sugared by placing sugar CLOSED SATURDAYS and the doughnuts in a paper bag, then shake FLOUR FOR CORN STARCH Flour can be substituted for corn starch. Use twice as much. DOUBLE BOILER USE Cook eggs in the shell in low er part of your double boiler while cereal or .other food is cooking in the top section. CARE OFGLASSES Avoid cracking jeflly glasses or glass dishes by setting them on a cloth wrung out of hot wat er, or by putting a metal spoon in glass or dish while pouring hot jelly or food. USE WATER SPARINGLY To save vitamins and min erals, as well as fuel, most vege tables should be cooked in the smallest quantity of water and with low heat. OVEN MEALS Save nickels and dimes, time and footsteps by using ovens for preparing complete meals, rather than single dishes. SOAKING FRUIT, BEANS If you soak dried fruit, beans, etc, in water overnight or at least lor several hours, you can save time and fuel. TO BOIL QUICKER Add a little salt to the water in your double boiler and it will come to a boil much quicker. That’s why we call a good ar ray of household hints. Many thanks, Mrs Dourte, and for your comment, “Yours for clean, wholesome reading for our homes and children.” * We-have a note from our friend Mrs Violet Preston at Coates ville that she has moved from her former address, and now lives at 114 North Fifth Ave, c/o Miss Jeanette Ryan, Coatesville. Mrs Preston is still seeking old clothes to repair and give to needy families. BEGINNING JUNE 16 Free To Women...
