—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct. 12, 1974 44 l ADIES HAVE YOU HEARD? By Dons Thomas, Extension Home Economist About Rice - A Dish In A Dash U.S. Department of Agriculture marketing specialists say we’ll have an abundance of rice in Oc tober. So, start thinking rice. It’s a hearty, nutritious staple dating back at least to 3,000 B.C. Today, there are endless ways to prepare and serve it. Color it saffron, curry it, combine it with vegetables, mix it in a salad, make it in a ring mold, serve it in a round mound, use it as a main dish casserole, combine it or use it plain for dressing, or try a rich, creamy dessert. Try cooking it with chicken stock, beef broth, bouillon, consomme, tomato or vegetable juice. Cook it with a fruit juice, such as orange juice or apple juice, mixed with equal proprotions of water. Even maraschino cherry juice with two parts water has been tried suc cessfully. When buying rice, get the right kernel size and look for uniform color. Short grain rice cooks moist and tender and has a tendency to cling together. This makes it suitable for pudding, stuf fings, rice rings, and Oriental cooking. Medium grain kernels are good with meat and seafood. Long grain kernels are light and fluffy and are inclined to separate. They are good as a side dish, in salads, curries, and stews. Rice stores well. It’s a convenient easy-to-prepare food for today’s busy homemakers.

MATZ, INC. 505 E MAIN NEW HOLLAND. PA 354-2244 Tipi On Discount Clothing Shopping Discount shopping seems to be taking the country by storm. There seems to be magic in the word “discount” that leads you to believe you are getting a bargain. It’s true you can save money buying clothes at discount or warehouse stores, but you need to be an especially sharp shopper with a knowledge of fabric and fiber. And you need to have a firm goal in mind. Many discount houses don’t hgve facilities for trying on garments so you or fiber content or care directions. If you cannot try on a garment or return it, you are taking a real gamble as far as fit is concerned. Even packages goods such as hosiery and un dergarments may have the wrong size indicated on the package. If you know your fabrics you can often determine if the care labeling is wrong - but not always. Again, it is a gamble and you usually have no recourse if the garment is ruined. A knowledge of sewing is a great help in your bargain buys. Some minor damages can be easily altered or amended. Sometimes the reason for the markdown is poor matching or placement of fabric design. This may or may not be important to you. Construction errors can sometimes be corrected easily if you sew,‘whereas labor costs in factories would make the additional cost of correction prohibitive. It’s cheaper for the manufac turer to sell the garment as a second than to correct a mistake. If the garment has been improperly cut, there may be little you can do to correct the error. And, if you add your time to such a project, it probably is no bargain. Discount selling at the factory saves the cost of the middleman and it is possible to save if you shop with a firm idea of your needs, and are easily swayed, and if you can find what you want. If you count the cost of your gasoline and automobile expenses to get to the discount store and your time, it’s questionable if you really save a lot of money in the long run. But the adventure of the hunt is fun and the discovery of a great buy does give you a good feeling. Shop discount stores but keep in mind that it is an adventure rather than thinking that you are going to save a lot of money. ™GOOD WORD from the Bible Blessed is he that con sidered the poor the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not de liver him unto the will of his enemies ‘A J '.'.tJ.-'-'AM-*.--*. .-.V To Speak At Convention Ethel Gross, Manchester a national publication for which includes two lun* farm wife, will speak on how rural women. cheons, the semi-formal to put together a cookbook in The Forum program will banquet, hospitality func a “Rural Women’s Idea include seminars focusing on Exchange” at the National all aspects of a farm Farm Women’s Forum, to be woman's life-on her in held in Milwaukee, volvement in the farm November 12*14.
