ate 22, vith uth sar- J I OR PARR Post Cookbook A background in home econo: mics proves to be anadvantage when it comes to meal planning and preparation for a family of seven, claims Lucille Bitten- bender Luce, a former graduate of College Misericordia with a major in home economics, lives with her husband, George, and five children on Machell Avenue, Dallas, next door to the house in which she was born and grew up. After graduation, she taught for a year in Shickshinny High School before marrying George “Dodie” Bittenbender. She did substitute teaching at Dallas Township until her oldest son, Drew was born. Then she be- came homemaker and as her family grew she found her edu- cation in home economics to be more and more advantageous. The Bittenbender family in- cludes Drew, graduate of Dallas High School and Wilkes-Barre Business College; Jan, grad- uate of Bob Jones Academy, S.C., presently a senior at College Misericordia; Chris, junior at Dallas Senior High; Brett and Stephen, both in fifth grade at Dallas Elementary School. The former Lucille Disque, daughter of Sarah Disque and the late Henry Disque, she has always been interested in Early American furnishings and has that special ‘‘something’’ that goes into making every recipe, no mgier how simple, some- thing ‘éxtrordinaire’. Her newly-renovated kitchen- dining area done in Early American with its large corner red brick fireplace, Early American corner cupboard and beamed ceiling (the beams are from the former Space family’s barn and hand-hewn, stained and polished by Dodie) is the ideal setting for preparing meals or baking the dozens and dozens of cookies which are her family’s favorites. Lucille’s home is completely furnished with Early American furniture, most of it rare anti- que pieces that she and Dodie have picked up in their travels and refinished. She now spends most of her : cakes, pastries 5 Convenient locations: ovr cestas leisure time searching for anti- que glassware and throughout her home are colorful arrange- ments of cranberry glass, Vie- torian cut glass, blue satin, and vaseline glass, which add an original and unique touch to their home, not likely to be found in any other in the area. Many pieces of the glass and furniture represent vacations, trips from North to South, and travels from the East Coast to the West Coast, for Dodie is a self-employed long distance trucker and Lucille has often accompanied him on his long over-the road trips. She also takes great pleasure in daily jaunts throughout the local area picking up items to add to her collection. Finding words to describe Lucille Bittendender is difficult but perhaps the phrase used by her sister-in-law, ‘‘personality plus”, is the most accurate. In addition to being attractive, her flashing smile, and cheerful and easy-going disposition add to exactly that. Not only is she an excellent mother and home- maker but she is ever willing to lend a hand to friends and neighbors who are shut-in or un- able to get around by them- selves. She enjoys making crafts of all kinds and her most recent project has been making small animals from egg shells and paper towels—a project so fas- cinating that the other mem- bers of the family also make them, especially Brett and Ste- phen who spends hours creating animals from imagination. Decoupage is another of her favorite craft projects and she has several beautiful pieces which she and her sister, Jean have completed as a team. But ask this talented home- maker her favorite interest and she replies without hesitation “my church where I teach Sun- day School.” She quickly adds “there is no better way to learn about m’ Lord than teaching a class.” There is no doubt about that, as her face lights up while speaking about Community Church where she is a member. Neither is there any doubt about her talents in the kitchen try us... we are ; delicious! 9 "ONE STOP i; le]:1I Ve FURNITURE » eM AINE ATR RAINS PS RAIA IS Good for you!
