CHEAP MEAT CUTS.

Old-world housewives have of doing things with meats that the average man .never thinks of do- Ing. Simple things they are too. that require no lavish expend!- Time and a ture of money. canny instinct for seasoning are the ingredients that produce the and their foasts perfection of meat dishes.

Roast shoulder of perk a la mode is a typical German dish. Highly seasoned, and savory. it would be ideal to serve on a cool evening. The addtilon of nuts is unusual with us and too few cooks ever take time to marinate their meats.

SOUR GREAM

Finds Many Good Uses

We've all been through the un- pleasant experience of finding that the cream' has turned" and can't be used, for the breakfast cereal. But this same sour cream which seemed such a tragedy at 'seven-thirty can be turned into a real asset at nine if you use it' rigai.

Cakes and cookies for instance, made' with sour cream have unus-

· uni delicacy of flavour and perfec- tion of texture. Foreign cooks use it. in soups and meat sauces, salad dressing, cake Allings." pie fillings and frostings. Almost any course in the meal gains richness and flavor by the addition of sour cream.

·

Very little additional shorten- ing is required when sour cream is used in cakes and cookies. There are two grades of sour cream just as there are two gra-

of sweet and heavy.

A dessert of fresh fruit anddes crisp, cookies will be suitable after such hearty fare.

Rice Omelet

A substantial breakfast" dish that children love is rice omelet. In this the busy housekeeper may, combine cereal, eggs and tomato sauce all in one dish to supply three much needed food elements for the daily diet.

Served with crisp toast which provides exercise for the teeth, here is a quick and easy break- fast. The rice should be cooked the night before. "

Rice Omelet

One cup cooked rice, I cup milk, teaspoon salt, teaspoon pep- per, 3 tablespoons butter, 4 aggs.

Heat milk and add cooked rice, 2 tablespoons butter and salt and pepper. Beat well and add the + well beaten yolks of eggs. Ве sure the yolks are beaten until thick and lemon coloured Fold in whites, which have been beaten until stiff. Melt remaining butter In a hot iron spider or omelet pan. Turn pan until thoroughly coated with butter and make sizzling hot. Pour in omelet mix- ture and let cook on top of the stove for two minutes to brown the bottom. Then cook in a hot oven until well puffed and firm.. to the touch. Fold and turn out on a hot platter. Berve with to- mato sauce or fresh tomatoes cut in slices and dipped in melted Butter and brolled.

PRAWNS EN COQUILLE

Warm the prawns (shelled of course) well through in some butter, to which you have added a little salt, some black pepper, a little cayenne, a good deal of powered mace, and a scraping of nutmeg.

Do not let them boll, but, when they are sufficiently, impregnated with the spices, drain off the butter. bind the prawns with a Little Béchamel sauce, not too thin, put into coquiles, sprinkle well with breadcranite, knd then with butter, and brown quickly in the

have ∙to have some table cream with it. This adds milk to the menu. Creamed celery, small antons in a cream creamed cauliflower and sauce. creamed new turnips are suitable vegetables to serve with pork.

Shoulder is ordinarily an inex- pexsive cut of pork. Consequent- ly you can provide an appetiz- ing and attractive meal at small cost if you study seasonings and, compatible vegetable dishes.

CULINARY TIPS

Always have the guest of honour. sit at the right of the hostess at a luncheon or dinner. If it is in honor of a man and a woman,

have the woman sit at the right of the host, and the man sit at ..the right of the hostess,

When cutting bread for sand- wiches which you wish to be par- ticularly dainty and of fancy shape, always, cut lengthwise to avold waste.

To clean baking dishes and pans, soak them in hot water to which washing soda has been added. Use one tablespoon of soda for each quart of water required to fill the article.

When 'making dumplings, cover the pan wth a glass cover pr ple dish. The dumplings can be wat 'ched during their cooking without removing the lid. Dumplings fäll easily if a draft strikes them.

To give aded favour to fruit cups, add bits of candied ginger, grapefruit or orange peels.

Tomato slices spread with cream cheese and arranged in layers make a substantial spring salad

To dice celery, freshen the stalks in cold water and wash tho roughly. Then cut the stalks-in small sections. lengthwise. Lay several stalks together on a board and cut crosswise. Thy leaves may be used for garnishing while larger leaves may be dried for soups.

Measure Soda Carefully

On souring, the light cream separates into two layers. The fat rises to the top and the milk, which was left in the cream set- ties to the botɛom. If the cream is skimmed from the top it is the same as heavy cream, but if the top and bottom are stirred together the result is less rich and some other shortening is needed.

Remember that one-half tea- spoon soda is used with one cup sour cream and be careful to measure accurately. The amount of baking powder ordinary used 13 reduced one-half.

Heavy, solid cream is used to make pie or tart filings, sour cream frosting and some salad- dressings. Quick breads, cakes, cookies and puddings of (cake- like texture can be made of light cream with a small amount of additional shortening.

Sour cream salad dressing is especially good with, fruit salads and keeps well.

Sour Cream Salad Dressing

Two tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon dour, à teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar, teaspoon. celery salt, teaspoon paprika, few grains cinnamon, 2 drops va- nii, 4 teablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon water, yolks 2 eggs, cup heavy

sour cream,

Mix and sift hour, salt, ginna- mon, sugar celery salt and papri- ka. Add to melted butter and stir until thoroughly blended. Stir in lemon Juices, "vinegar and water. Cook and stir over a low fire until thick and smooth. Remove from fire and stir in yolks of eggs." Lẹt Cool Chill cream and whip until frm. Add with vanilla to cooked miatura.

These seasonings, carefully se- lected and blended, make a salad dressing of fine flavor for fruits. The omission of cinnamon and vanilla and the addition of must- ard and onion juice produce dressing for use with vegetables and meats.

SPINACH SOUFFLE

While reminding you merely how good is Spinach à la crème and a Spinach Souflé, too es- pecially if you add to the latter Some lean ham and grated cheese I cannot refrain from giving you a recipe for a really surpassingly good dish of célery: if you can get some marrow- bones. It is called Celeri, á in modile.
