Have you ever wished for a
certain recipe but were afriad to
ask for it, afraid you’d be turned
down and have somebodys
feelings hurt?
Such an incident happened in
our family a number of years
ago While making coated-cereal
candy, a niece asked if she might
have the recipe. She almost cried
when we told her she could have
it. Seems it was a vavorite of her
children but only a sister-in-law
had the recipe and she wouldn’t
give it to anyone. Sounds petty,
doesn’t it?
We’re so delighted you readers
aren’t like that. You have been
sharing your recipes with
abandon. But we’re never
satisfied to stop. Please take time
to send us a recipe, or recipes, to:
Recipes, Lancaster Farming,
Box 266, Lititz, Pa. 17543. We’ll
send you a colorful potholder as
our way of saying “Thanks.”

Almost April Fools’ Day!
Guess I’m too old to play tricks on
folks now - I’d worry about the
consequences. But, in years past,
they were fun.
When I worked in an office
there would often be messages to
give to insurance agents and also
numbers for them to call back. So
on All Fools’ Day it seemed like a
good idea to throw in a few
numbers of my own.
Our phone was set up so that we
could listen to others’ con
versations if we wished. Well, we
almost burst laughing when they
dialed Mane’s Beauty Shoppe or
the Lancaster County jail and
asked, “You wanted me?” They
almost insisted someone there
wanted them.
These same agents were a
genial bunch and often took the
office girls out to lunch.
There is one area that women
have not infiltrated to any large
degree. Yesterday, my husband

and I drove to Perry County to a
cow sale and I only saw five other
women in the group of some 200
men.
I noticed that several of them
made purchases and signed the
papers. Therefore, we can
assume that if they went to the
sale it wasn’t just as an observer,
but as a buyer. These tran
sactions would not have taken
place 50 years ago.
Much as we hate to-see our
children grow up and leave home,
there are a few small ad
vantages.
I hope we are about at the end
of the tooth pulling business. Our
little antique pliers has per
formed for many generations.
One of the time consuming
occupations was nail clipping.
Why, at one time, I figured my
responsibility included 100 little
fingernails and toenails. Soon
there won’t even be long hair to
untangle as everyone fends for
himself.
Drain. Combine soup, milk and
cheese. Simmer, stirring oc
casionally, until cheese is melted.
Mix macaroni, cheese sauce,
green pepper, onion and black
pepper. Pour into a one and one
half \ouart casserole. Arrange
luncheon meat on top of
casserole. Bake in a 325 degree
oven for 30 minutes. Make four to
six servings.
Variations: Luncheon meat
can be cubed'and combined with
macaroni and cheese mixture.
Substitute one'regular can tuna
or one pound frankfurters,
chopped or sliced, for luncheon
meat.
-(-General Cooking Directions
for Macaroni: Add two cups
macaroni to two quarts rapidly
boiling salted water (two heaping
