PAGE SIX BY JOAN KINGSBURY ~ Each year at Christmas invited to our neighbor’s, Dave and Carol Williams, Christmas party. The food served at this party is no | ordinary party cuisine. Carol and each of her guests prepare a dish made from wild game. | Depending on the luck of the hunters, there is f usually a wide variety of ‘game to taste. This year the menu was outstanding, featuring goose with Normandy sauce and duck in orange sauce prepared by Carol, i smoked American cheese and smoked salmon made 8 by George Kraynak, Donna and Bill Hontz’s grilled brown trout ala Minnie. Venison was cooked in various ways, Darlene Hudak made a delicious roast venison with gravy and potatoes, Darle Folk contributed a flavorful venison stew while Walt Stewart | brought venison chops. Elaine Hudak’s donation was venison meatballs. Rose Salansky brought a real treat, venison kielbasi. Because of her husband Marv’s very successful hunting trip to Alaska in late August Marie Cark- huff was able to bring sheep, caribou and moose. Marie marinated all three meats, then roasted the sheep and caribou. The moose was cooked in a crock pot. Al- though I had never sampled any of these meats before, I found - them all to be tasty with the moose, which tastes much like beef, being my favorite. My contribution to the party was roast pheasant. To enable our readers to try some of these game dishes I am providing | several wild game recipes this week. Carol’s Goose with Normandy Sauce, Elaine Hudak’s Venison Meatballs and a favorite venison recipe from Bill Hontz, Venison Steak Guillam. To prepare the duck in orange sauce Carol uses 7 Prints, Paintings, "SCRANTON: KINGSTON: NY Needlepoint, Diplomas, J) orange marmalade. Roast the duck until almost done, baste with orange marmalade, then let the marmalade melt as the duck finishes roasting. For those inter- ested in a cookbook for wild game, Carol has found Cooking Wild Game by Zack Hanle to be help- ful. Following the delicious dinner, Marv showed slides of his Alaskan trip explaining about the animals, vegetation and climate as he narrated. This proved to be an impressive and extremely interesting finale to a VENISON GUILLAM STEAK 1 lb. venison steak V4 c. cocktail sauce 4 ¢. soy sauce 1 T. water 1% t. sherry 1% t. cornstarch V5 clove garlic minced 3 T. oil 1 chopped green pepper 2-3 shakes Worcestershire Marie Carkhuff, V4 t. pepper In a bowl combine soy sauce, water, cocktail sauce, sherry, cornstarch and blend.

If you are on a fixed i income, ask yourself, ¢art you’ afford the home»you have? A home is a sound in- vestment, especially with: the mortgage paid. But your money is tied up in the property and not available to you until you find a buyer. If you need more income during retirement, it may make sense to sell the house and invest the profits. (After 55, up to $125,000 of profit may be exempt from capital gains tax.) Of course, not everyone sells their homes--in 1977, about 82 percent of people 65 and older were home- owners. One way to reduce the costs of staying in your present home is to ‘share’ it.

Any mortgage interest, property taxes, utilities and maintenance costs you pay while the house is rented are deductible on your federal income tax return. Check with your tax advisor before doing this, to ensure that you'll still be able to take advan- tage of the capital gain exclusion, should you later decide to sell. If you sell your home, you can move into a smaller residence or you can rent an apartment.
