Mrs. Nancy Wenrich
By JOANNE SPAHR
LEBANON - What’s a
kilowattcher? A kilowatt
cher is a homemaker who
carefully watches how
electricity is used. And,
during these slowly shor
tening, quickly cooling days,
kilowattching will become
ever more important.
So, for those homemakers
who are conscious of energy
saving as well as fuel bill
saving, Mrs. Nancy
Wenrich, director of home
economics at Metropolitan
Edison, Lebanon, offered a
few tips and recipes at a
recent homemakers
meeting.
First of all, she said, avoid
opening the doors of the
refrigerator and freezer
very often. Instead, know
what you want before
opening the refrigerator or
freezer door.
Also, defrost the freezer
regularly and never allow
more than Vt inch of frost to
build up. Generally, the rule
of thumb when freezing is to
freeze no more than two or
three pounds of food to each
cubic foot of capacity.
Some general household
hints include operating a
self-cleaning oven after 8
p.m. whenever possible,
since the greatest energy
load is taken between 8 a.m.
and 8 p.m. daily.
Set most water heaters to
140 degrees F. Under most
conditions, this is hot enough
for household hot water
needs.
When it comes to laundry,
Metropolitan Edison
suggests waiting until 8 p.m.
to do the wash that requires
hot water, and if the laundry
must be done during the
daytime power rush, it sould
be washed in warm or cool
water. Always rinse with
cold water.
Cooking can also be
energy saving.
For those cooks who want
to try some new recipes and
would like them to require
small amounts of energy,
Mrs. Wenrich suggests the
following:

SESAME CRISPS
13/*I 3 /* cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
% cup shortening
4 tablespoons cold water
(approx.)
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Stir flour and salt together
in a medium-size bowl; cut
in shortening with a pastry
blender until mixture is
crumbly. Sprinkle with
approximately 3 tablespoons
of the water, one tablespoon
at a time. Mix lightly just
until pastry holds together
and leaves sides of bowl
clean. Roll out to an 18 x 12
rectangle on a lightly floured
pastry cloth or board. Beat
egg yolk with remaining 1
tablespooir water in a cup;
brush over pastry; sprinkle
with sesame-seeds. Cut out
fancy shapes with a floured
1% inch cutter; place on
ungreased cookie sheet.
Place trimmings on same
cookie sheets and bake for
family nibbles. Bake at 400
degrees F. for 10 minutes, or
until golden. Remove to wire
racks. Cool completely.
Store m a container with a
tight cover. Makes five
dozen.
TOMATO BOUILLON
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup water
1 bouillon cube - beef
Combine ingredients and
heat to boiling point. Serves
2 or 3. A simple recipe to
increase.
According to Mrs.
Wenrich, the above two
recipes are good “to warm
up cold bodies after an ice
hockey game or caroling.”
The “Sesame Crisps” are
really just pastry with
sesame seeds on top, and
these crisps go well with the
tomato bouillon.
To make the tomato
bouillon party-sized, Mrs.
Wenrich suggested a 30-cup
percolator.
The next three recipes
Mrs. Wenrich offered are
three seasoned products that
have no cooking involved, so
they are “definitely energy
savers.”
