“A number of talented and
creative people have already
told us they will submit their
work to us to sell,” reported
Mrs. Bittenbender. “Many have
no other outlet. The ones we
have contacted are thrilled with
the idea of a local outlet for
their work.”
Admittedly an ‘‘experiment’’,
the three operators stress that
they want creative pieces—this
could include paintings,
sculpture, original tole work,
decoupage, knitting and other
fine handmade articles, and so
forth.
“We definitely do not want
such unoriginal things as
‘paintings-by-number’,”” Mrs.
Samuels stated.
Although antiques as such
will not be sold, owners of
“things of quality’ may offer
them to the shop to be sold on
consignment. ‘We have ac-
cepted a chandelier—not
particularly old, but good—and
we will probably accept other
such articles,” Mrs. Lemmond
said.
But their main purpose, they
repeat, is to sell the work
produced by artists and craft-
smen from this area.
All three women have taken
an active part in past years in
the Back Mountain Memorial
Library Auction. Each of them
enjoys needlepoint and knitting.
Mrs. Bittenbender also paints.
Project 40 will be open
Monday through Saturday, with
hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

How Not To Impress
Three years ago when Chris
Cancro was a young bride of
just a few weeks, her father-in-
law dropped in on his way home
from a business trip to have
dinner with “the kids.”” She and
Patrick. her husband, hustled
about their tiny kitchen to
prepare a meal he'd never
forget. They did, and he never
has.
The menu read: Steak, baked
potatoes. French string beans,
nd tossed salad- an elegant
menu fit for a king. It was also
to he the first meal she’d ever
cooked in their apartment, and
the gas stove was a bit un-
familiar to her. Chris had
always cooked with electricity
before, and she assumed that
the broiler was inside the oven.
She popped the steaks into the
oven, turned the indicator to
B™ (for broil, naturally), and,
having already baked the
potatoes, put them into the pull-
out drawer she figured was a
warmer.
Twenty minutes later, she
discovered to her chagrin that
they had baked steaks and
broiled-hurned potatoes. Her
fathertin-law’s comment? “It
sure was a good salad.”
Well, the saying ‘‘you've
come a long way, baby’ could
certainly apply to the culinary
abilities which Chris now
possesses. Not only has she
learned to tell the difference
between a broiling unit and an
oven, but she’s learned to whip
up some pretty fine concoctions
on. top of the stove too.
Much of the cooking she does
is fast, and virtually all of it is
well planned. It has to be—Chris
is a graduate fellew in
mathematics at Wilkes Cuilege
who teaches two undergraduate
sections, tutors and grades
papers in addition to attending
her own graduate level classes.
Because she often leaves their
Harvevs Lake home at 7:30
a.m. and doesn’t get home until
7 p.m. or later, the meals she
prepares inust be good but easy.
(The recipe for Skid Road
Stroganoff included below is one
of her favorite such dinners).
Chris has several hints for
housewives who have schedules
as busy as hers. She suggests
that menus be made out a week
al a time (in her case, she
prepares the menus and
shopping list and Patrick does
the shopping); that casseroles
he prepared ahead of time and
refrigerated ‘or frozen until
ready to be heated; that the
ingredients for one quick meal
always be kept on hand—this
for the time when any effort
other than turning the handle of
a can opener is just too much.
With typical good humor, she
also suggests that eating out a
lot or getting Pat to fix supper
saves time and energy!
Before moving te Harveys
Lake ‘in August, Chris and
Patrick Cancro lived for two
years in the Gateway Apart-
ments in Edwardsville. Pat is
the business instructor at the
Wilkes-Barre Campus of Penn
State and before beginning her
graduate studies full time,
Chris taught eighth grade math
at Valley West. They are
presently busy decorating their
newly purchased home,
for which Chris somehow finds
time to sew draperies and
curtains.
She's a multi-talented gal who
(now) impresses even Pat's

father. When the elder Cancros
came to visit ‘the kids” this
summer, Chris served several
never-to-he-forgotten meals—
but no steaks and baked
potatoes!
