Post Cookbook Thousands ~~ of families throughout the area will take time out from routine schedules this week ‘to observe the Thanksgiving holiday, some en- tertaining family and friends at home, others congregating. at the homes of parents or rela- tives. Some will spend it quietly with their immediate family with the traditional turkey din- ner. And, soit is with employees of the Dallas Post. A quick survey this past week revealed that most of the Post employees would spend the holiday with their families, offering thanks for the happi- ness and successes enjoyed dur- ing the past year. Some will at- tend the Lake Lehman—Dallas football game before sitting down to dinner, while others will enjoy the comfort of their favorite chair watching a game on the tube, the aroma of favor- ite foods whetting their appe- tites. To list everyone’s plans was almost impossible but we did get a good cross-section of what the Post people would be doing and eating on Thanks- giving Day. Ellen Dobinick, in the paste- up department, and her hus- band Dennis, with their family will attend the Dallas—Lake- Lehman football game, where they will be cheering the Black Knights on to victory, since their daughter, Kelly, is a cheerleader for the Knights’ team. After the game, they will go to Ellen’s mother’s home in Wyoming, where they will sit down to partake of their favor- ite Thanksgiving menu prepar- ed by Ellen’s mother. ‘Nothing special,’’ Ellen says, “mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, tur- key, dressing, rutabagas, relish tray, and our favorite dessert— pumpkin pie. My mother’s re- cipe.” Pumpkin Pie 1 can pumpkin 34 ¢. brown & white sugar mixed pumpkin pie spices to taste dash salt 4 eggs 1 can evap. milk U5 ¢. milk Mix sugar, pumpkin, and spi- ces until well blended.

Their tradi- tional dinner begins with a champagne Thanksgiving toast, grape fruit halves, turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, peas, corn, cranberry sauce, tomato and lettuce salad, relishes, rolls, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, mince pie, and mints.

Their din- ner this year will vary from the usual since they will have wild turkey and pheasant killed by her brother, who is an avid hunter and sportsman. Their menu will include the turkey and pheasant, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, cole slaw, cranberry sauce, candied sweet potatoes, relishes, mince meat pie, pumpkin and apple as well as rice pudding.

Mrs. Matthew (Barbara) Evans, reporter for the Post, plans to have dinner with her husband and family in the early afternoon. The children still living at home help prepare the special holiday meal and their daughter, Carol, and her hus- band, Tony Honko, usually bring the dessert. Daughter Christine a photographer in Parlin, N.J., will be home for dinner and likely there will be an unexpected guest or two. Like the others, the Evans din- ner will include the traditional turkey, dressing, potatoes, and vegetables, with pumpkin pie for dessert. The family will gather for fruit punch before dinner, which will begin with a tangy fruit cup, the recipe be- low. : Tangy Fruit Cup 1 1g. c. fruit cocktail 1 banana, 1 orange, 1 apple cut into small pieces (a can of mandarin oranges may be substituted for a regular orange.) Any fresh fruit may be added. Mix fruit and chill well. Spoon into serving dishes and place a good size scoop of orange sher- bet on top. Serve. Mr. and Mrs. William Tho- mas and family will have a late dinner at home with daughter, Cathy, and daughter and son-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Kuch- emba, and granddaughter, Heather. In the morning they will attend the Dallas—Lake- Lehman game and sit among the Dallas fans, cheering Dallas to victory, the Old Shoe trophy and B Division title. Shirley, proofreader at the Post, will serve a Thanksviging menu in- cluding turkey, dressing, mash- ed potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, corn, peas (vegetables enough to please everyone, she says); cranberry sauce, and her special dessert of pineapple and marshmal- lows, a favorite of the family. “Simple to make’, says Shir- ley, ‘‘and positively delicious. Pineapple-Marshmallow. Dessert In large dish, place layer of crushed pineapple, cover with layer of miniature marshmal- lows. Repeat until 34 of dish is filled. Cover generously with whipping cream and freeze. Diane Johns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Johns, Leh- man, is a member of a large family. Grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, all congregate at either her grandmother’s home or the home of her parents for Thanksgiving dinner. “It is an everybody shares dinner,” said Diane, ‘with each one con- tributing her favorite recipe to the menu. Our menu is much the same as the other Post em- ployees but we do have tossed salad, jello salad, and my grandmother’s delicious choco- late cake. But, perhaps best of all, is her homemade; mince meat pie,” and Diane shares the recipe below. Mince Meat Pie 1 1b. beef 2 1b. pork 2 1b. ground apples 1 1b. raisins 15 1b. currants 1 ¢. brown sugar 1 ¢. white sugar cinnamon, cloves, salt to taste 1 qt. boiled cider. Place meat in pan, cover with boiling water. Simmer until ten- der; remove, cool and grind or chop fine. Pare, core and grind apples. Mix all ingredients in large pan, add cider gradually, until mixture is well covered with li- quid. Simmer for 45 minutes. Place mixture in double crust pie shell. Bake at 375 degrees until crust is golden brown. Answers from the rest of the employees are much the same—an early dinner, then watch a game on television or visit with relatives; or a late dinner after going to their fa- vorite high school contest in the morning, or for a very few, a visit out of town to have Thanksgiving dinner with other members of the family and, yes one or two, planned to have din- ner out at a restaurant of their choice either in the Back Moun- tain or the downtown area. But whatever: the time, what ever the menu, one thing they had in common—Thanks for the good things thay had enjoyed during the year gone by and hopes for peace and happiness in the year ahead!
