Ladies,
Sflave You Heard?
By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist
According to Webster, a sandwich consists of “two slices
bread usually buttered and having a layer, as of meat, cheese,
savory mixture, spread between them.”
Today sandwiches also can include only one
slice of bread or roll served open-face with the
filling on top, points out Louise Hamilton, Penn
State Extension foods and nutrition specialist.
Open-face sandwiches are popular with
people counting calories.
But you have to consider more than just the
calories in the bread when you evaluate sand
wiches. Sandwich fillings should provide protein
in your diet. Protein can be in the form of meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, or peanut butter. A
sandwich with enough protein filling to taste
good contributes to your over-all nutrition.
You can use leftover roasts or pot roasts in
stead of always buying luncheon meats. Make a
different and interesting sand
wich by using crisp, sliced cu
cumber, tomato slices, and let
tuce on slices of cold roast beef.
If you wish, grind the last of the
toast, add some sliced hard-cook
ed eggs, catsup, and other sea
sonings for a savory sandwich
filling.
Make delicious open-face sand
wiches with canned or leftover
cooked fish, and add a touch of
lemon, sliced hard-cooked egg,
and cucumber slices. Peanut but
ter is the start of many different
sandwiches. For example, try
peanut butter with grated raw
carrots, raisins, or sliced banana.
You can be original with the
sandwiches you serve. You
don’t have to depend on expen
sive cold cuts for the filling be
tween two slices of bread,

This is the season for fresh
flowers and cut flowers to add to
the beauty of your home. They’ll

ing the day and use up the
largest amount of food at night
As a result, flowers cut in the
morning will not last as long as
those cut in the evening, 'be
cause their storage of food is
low.
, Immediately after cutting,
place flowers in a pail of warm
water, preferably while you’re
still in the garden. This prevents
them from losing too much
water.
After cutting, place the pail of
flowers in a cool room or base
ment over night to condition
them.
Coarse-stemmed flowers ab
sorb more water if you press the
lower two inches of their stems
with a piece of wood or hammer.
Do this for phlox, chrysanthe
mums, stock and lythe. Other
wise they’ll have difficulty tak
ing up enough water.
When you cut flowers, use
sharp shears or knives. Dull cut
ting tools tend to close off the
water conducting vessels in the
stems.
Protect your flower arrange
ments by keeping them out of
sunny or drafty places. Drafts
and heat from the sun speed up
water loss through foilage and
shorten flower life.
Perhaps you’ve heard theories
about the proper angle to cut
flower stems and the relationship
of the angle to the cut-flower
life. However, research indi
cates that if yOu give plants
proper care, the angle of the
stem cut makes little difference
in prolonging flower life.
