Spanish Olives Give
Leftovers a New Look
An expensive roast is truly a
luxury if it goes for only one
dinner But if you use the lef
tovers for a second main dish you
divide the cost per meal in half.
As little as 2 cups of leftover meat
or poultry, for instance, can
serve from four to six or even
eight people.
In addition, cooking leftovers
allows you to be creative. Besides
cooked meat and poultry you can
use other leftovers, such as
gravy, broth, rice macaroni and
vegetables, saving you time as
well as money.
The trick is to add interesting
flavor touches, create textural
contrast and make the dishes as
colorful and attractive as
possible. And that’s where you’ll
find tangy Spanish Pimiento
stuffed olives a big help. They
have a pleasing crunch and
sprightly red and green color and
they combine well with a host of
other foods They also keep well
so they can always be on the shelf
ready to perk up your leftovers.
In a manner of speaking,
delicious leftover dishes become
a matter of simple arithmetic:
they multiply your menu choices,
divide the cost of your main
courses, add creativity and
imagination to your meals and
subtract time and effort from
your kitchen chores.
Here are a couple of olive
flavored dishes that will help you
think positively about leftovers.
One uses cooked ham, the other
turkey

Va cup unsalted butter or
margarine

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 refrigerator, 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 sausage,
smoked turkey and smoked fish,
are all perishable and you should
treat them like fresh meat.
Refrigerate them immediately
and use as soon as possible. If you
can’t use them within a short
period of time, freezing will
preserve them but the flavor will
be lost.
With proper storage you can
enjoy Christmas gifts of food
longer after the holidays.

Unfortunately feed costs are up and looks
like they may stay there for a while. So if we
can't lick them, guess we might as well look for
some other way.
It's been known for sometime that cows
can use urea to make protein, only thing is urea
causes all kinds of problems, don't it? Not so
say the boys in white, at least not if urea is used
as a protein substitute rather than an excuse for
a low price tat}. By using urea, a feed maker
don't need to use as much of the high price
stuff to get the protein he wants. Thing is
though, twenty pounds of urea takes the place
of a hundred pounds of soybean meal. Now
here's the tricky part, folks. What do you
suppose they use to fill in the eighty pound
hole?

When an electrical appli
ance fails to work, the first
thing to do is check the cord
and electrical connections.
Check the outlet with a neon
test light or a lamp that
works when plugged into an
other outlet.
The cord may have a
break or a hidden short. If
it is old, replacing it is wiser
than repairing it.
An inexpensive ohmmeter
will pay for itself over the
years. It is used to check
continuity in electrical items.
Generally, one prong is
placed on one end of a cord
and the other prong on the
other end; the needle will
zoom to the end of the scale
on the meter if the cord has
no breaks. The needle will
not move when there is a
break in the wire.
