CARROTS..

B smart as a car- rot" was how an old gardener I described anyone who was all dressed up in her best: And truly he was right. The carrot is a- most elegant vegetable with green fern-like leaves and tapering orange root.

It certainly is one of the most health-giving_vego- tables which gives good all- the year round Bervice, Not only does it contain vitamin C and lots of starch, but it has that valuable pigment carotene which has similar action to aunlight.

Bo give them plenty of car- rols if you want to put abhine in their hair and give them clear complexions. That's what my Grandy used to say to the children-Carrols for sun- ahine-crusts for curla”

Fresh scraped carrot is fine on bread and butter or in a sandwich, and if nicely peeled and washed a carrot will tempt the children. Just as much as an apple will. Young carrots are so delicious that they can be served as a separate course with a little butter and salt. Old carrots cooked slowly should be eluded in a slew of a second vegetable.

Never waste a plece of carrot-It can be diced and threwn in the soup, or into the salad. No one will be able to resist its attractive orange colour and, aweet flavour,

But carrots are not the only veget able in the basket, for, although the new ones are expensive and light in flavour, we live awedes, turnips, old potatoes, purple broccoli, arilchokes and lots of others to keep the family health balance on the right side.

Careful Cooking

They need care in cooking, though, if you would retain all the valuable mineral salt.

When Vegetables are tough and hard it is because they are not cooked enough, and it is wise to try your vegetables with fork to make sure they are soft before serving.

If they are strong in flavour it is because they are overcooked. Watch the time for cooking, and drain the vegetables when they are tender. The saine apples to cabbage; if it in over- cooked it will be a bad colour and sogY in texture.

Here are some recipes for cooking and serving potatoes.

Oven Potatoes

There is more than one method of cooking them in this way.

Method 2-Place 1 to 2oz. of dripping in a meat-tin and put it to warm in the oven whilst the oven is heating up.

Place the pected potatoes in the tin and baste them wall, then cook for about an hour, Regulo mark 7, accord- ing to size. A joint can be placed in the tin with the potatoes.

"ScallopTM" Pie

Ison saucepans are easy to clean. All you need do with them is scrub thoroughly with plenty of hot water and soap, with no addition of a scouring powder if they are very dirty.

Have you groaned at the sight of greasy frying pans, baking-tins and saucepans, and scraped painfully away with a knife or screw of news- paper only to find there is still n allmy coating on the vessel which makes the 'dishwater unpleasant?

Next time the problem occurs try this method:-Put a tablespoonful of cooking salt in the pan, then fill it up with boiling water. Leave it until the end of the dish-washing, pour the water away, and you will find all the grease, has gone, tou.

Aluminium pots and pans must not come into contact with anything strongly alkaline, such as soda. This will cause the metal to become black. The best plan is to soak or rinse the pans well, using cold water if any starchy foods or milk has been cook- ed in them. Afterwards rub with a wire-rag, or you can use sand and salt.
