Freeze F6od Gift*
You may receive a Christmas
present or two of food that may
be difficult to keep fresh until
your family can eat it.
Be sure to re-wrap fresh breads
and re'ls in aluminum foil or
clear plastic wrap, or slip them
Have
You
Heard ?
into a polyethylene bag for
freezing Wrap fruit cake tightly
or keep it in a tin can and freeze
it It will keep mdefmtely
Package nuts in moisture
vapor proof freezer wrap or keep
in a metal can Salted nuts will
keep in the freezer about six
months, unsalted nuts from 9 to
12 months.
Cheese will keep for a while in
the regngerator, but molds after
a time Freezing will preserve it
for six months or longer But the
texture may change somewhat
after freezing When you are
ready to use frozen cheese, thaw
it in its wrapper in the
refrigerator Once it’s thawed, let
it stand at room temperature an
hour before serving
Hams, other smoked and
processed meats like suasage,
smoked turkey and smoked fish,
are all perishable and you should
treat them like fresh meat
Regrigerate them immediately
and use as soon as possible If you
can’t use them within a short
period, freezing will preserve
them but the flavor will be lost
With proper storage you can
enjoy Christmas gifts of food
after the holidays
Help Children Say Thank You
Helping a child to write a
thank-you note for a gift is a step
in helping him develop into a
thoughful human being If you
don’t help your child with the
writing of notes to people who
have given him gifts, the job
rarely gets done
It’s a good idea to set aside an
evening shortly after the holidays
when you and your child can
share the note-writing to express
appreciation for gifts you
received.
Top off this family project at
your dining or kitchen table with
refreshments of hot spiced apple
juice and popcorn. The project
will be long remembered as part
of the festivity of the holidays
Explain to your child that a
thank-you note need not be a long
flowery letter nor must it be set
rules or phrases.
When you make specific
references to the gift, it will
please the person who sent the
gift to you. A youngster might be
encouraged to say something
such as: “The soft yellow
sweater you sent is keeping me
warm as I write to thank you for
remembering me.”
If you’re writing notes to thank
relatives and friends for gifts
they sent to your very young
child, it will really mean more to
loving grandparents and aunts
and uncles if you have your child
“scribble” a note in his own
handwriting
Thank-you notes are a simple
courtesy. Children who enjoy this
little courtesy at a young age will
accept this as a happy task all
their lives
Every part of the coconut
palm is used by Caribbean
islanders. They use the
fronds to thatch roofs; dec
orate homes with the waxy
blossoms; convert the nut
shell to charcoal; make oil
and soap from the meat; the
soft palm heart delights
gourmets and the wood
makes fine paneling.
