Cheese made from -whole milk rather than skimmed milk contains vi tamin A. Cheese is a-highly digestible food and provides'a concentrated form of energy. A package of cheese -yields little or no waste. With all these advantages, 'use cheese often. The most impor tant rule in cheese cookery is to use a moderately low heat. Too much heat " win ' cause cheese ' to- become tough'' and stringy, so bake chee'se dishes at 300' to 350 degreetr When using a surface burner,- keep heat low or use a'double boiler. Cheese keeps best when- stored in the refrigerator.- Keep in a covered container or jvrap in wax paper, aluminum foil, or a plas tic-bag. Should cheese dry out, it may be grated. If cheese be comes moldy, cut off the mold and the rest of the cheese-will still be wholesome. - H ♦ • Here is a recipe for fragrant doughnut balls that are easy to make and can be frozen. * ♦ * SPICY BUTTERNUT BALLS Three and one-half cups flour Four teaspoons baking powder tContinued on page 7) Ttat Mcnnonite Hour Each Sunday Lancaster WLAN 12:30 P.
