fQuud one restaurateur who re
fused to serve any steak well
done- Loses Its he
swears-

While we’re on the subject of
steaks, here’s an idea that may
be considered likely by some.
Others may turn up their noses.
But I’ve tried it, and love it.
You’ll find the taste of olive oil
missing, - despite your earlier
fears
Place olive oil and bits of gar
lic in porcelain or glass tray.
Lay steaks in tray and let mari
nate several hours. Then turn
for an equal number of hours.
(Mighty good if you like garlic.
Some marinate their steaks two
or three hours to £he side, some
a day- Excellent when broiled.
Mrs. Paul Rudy,- up at 311" Val
ley Road, R 5 Lancaster, last week
sent in an item about triplet
lambs being born on their farm.
Many -thanks for the news item,
which we used, and here are
some recipes from Mrs. Rudy:
CINNAMON STICKS

pieces or sticky by 1 by %
inches. 'Brush sticks with butler
and roll in a mixture of cinna

until-lightly browned. Eat while

She shields her eyes with unflung, work-worn hand,
To scan the intervale beneath the-sun
Of noon; it’s -tune her man was coming in
Shadows'are short beoynd the cattle run.
The corn is ripe; the garden is still'-green
This year it brought a more’n common yield;
The hens scratch busily beyond the fence;'
The breeze makes waves of grass across the field
Content she gazes, waiting for her man
To come to dinner, wafting wholesome smell
Behind her, from the kitchen’s open door.
She knows her part, and does it, deft and well
No longer lithe and straight as when a bride
Of seventeen she came to make this place
A home, but still the sixty years were kind
’and all the season’s light is in her face-

memories of school days, for
when the walnut season was
on, any number of us appeared
for weeks with hands and fing
ers stained deep brown. And
nothing but work, pop said,
would take off the stain.
That’s it, mighty good hearing
from you, and may you have the
most Merry Christmas-
See you next week
