Home on the
Ono of America's favorite
foods, the hamburg, is in
creasing in popularity when
used in its raw form as
ground beef.
Ground beef, or hamburg,
is perhaps the most versatile
and economical of all meats.
It is quick and easy to
prepare, and can be made in
a number of ways. You can
bake, broil, fry, barbecue
and brown it for a variety of
recipes. It is used for soups,
stews, meat loafs, meat pies,
casseroles, “Poor Man’s
Steak”, in spaghetti sauce,
and alas, our well-known
hamburgers and cheese
burgers.
Now available in super
markets are vegetable
protein mixes. When added
to your meat with water, it
stretches meat (and food
dollars) from one pound to
one and one-half pounds.
This week we salute
ground beef by bringing you
five ways to eat and enjoy
your Hamburg.

’
The beginning of February
and a few more weeks of
winter. A few more weeks of
getting up to meet school
buses in the cold and dark
mornings.
Recently I was surprised
to read that “Mamie
Eisenhower adhered to the
belief that a woman over 50
should never get out of bed
until noon.” Now that is
stretching leisure a bit too
much, but a few extra winks
would be nice.
Over the years I’ve been
writing this article, I have
been pleased many tunes to
hear comments on it. As I
cover a variety of subjects,
some are of interest to one
person and some to others.
There have been phone
calls telling me that their
families enjoy beautiful
sunsets and always com
ment on them. Others have
written to say that their
family also enjoys hiking on
wooded trails. Some have
written to tell me of their
farm life and missionary
and heat, stirring frequently.
Do not boil again. This
makes a large amount.
