Mrs. James (Kathy) Barlow of
Dallas enjoys preparing food for
~ people who like to eat. She
enjoys preparing meals for a
large group of people. Most of
all, she enjoys baking and finds
it relaxing to spend time in her
attractive, modern Kitchen
baking pies, cakes or bread.
Kathy and her husband have
six children, five boys and one
girl. She says she had such a big
family she had to prepare food
that was easy, nutritious and
filling.
“I had no time to do gourmet
cooking until the children were
grown,” said Kathy. “I never
used written recipes, but learned
to cook by watching my mother.
It is only in recent years that I
~ have used recipes.”
The Barlow children are,
Mark, with Commonwealth Tele-
_ phone in Bangor; Michael, care-
taker at Chapel Lawn Memorial
Park; Matthew, employed in
~ Tunkhannock; John, attending
school; Nora, married recently
+ and teaching in Lancaster; and
- Jamie, who will graduate tomor-
row evening from Dallas High
“School.
In addition to cooking, Kathy
~ likes doing all kinds of crafts,
~ although quilting seems to be her
favorite. Her latest is tin pound-
ing and she made gifts for all
. members of the family for
. Easter. She also does macrame
and crewel. Recently, she took a
“class in floral arrangements and
did all the flowers for her daugh-
ter Nora’s wedding, as well as
for three of her friends weddings.
Kathy works with either fresh
orsilk flowers.
Her home abounds with lovely
plants and beautiful African
~ violets. The violets are in various
. shades, some of them quite
unusual.
The recipes Kathy shares with
~ Post readers are easy to prepare
and very tasty. The Broccoli
“ Cheese Soup served with home-
made bread makes a delicious
