Portland Observer, May 18. 1983 Page 7 Chicken One dish dinner C h icke n h a i become a fa v o rite food fo r a number o f reason«: it is versatile, can be used w hole or in parts, cold or hot, spicy or plain. No w onder it is so w ell liked by most people. In ad d itio n to its c u lin ary a ttri* butes. chicken is relatively economi cal, especially in one-pot chicken dishes. A m ong the legion o f good chicken recipes are the w on d erfu l stews which we sometimes tend to fo rg e t. T h e y pay o f f handsom ely for fam ily dinners, entertaining and even for small households on a "use some, freeze some” basis. Here are recipes for two interest ing, delicious chicken and vegetable dishes. Both chicken stews are easy to make and guarantee predictably good results because they are based on condensed soups. A n d each requires only one cooking pot. Try Ragout Poulet when you have some fresh m ushroom s. A m b e r slices o f sweet potatoes and a pack age o f frozen green peas complete the vegetable trio . A fte r chicken parts are brow ned, they simmer in condensed cream o f chicken soup, a q u a lity fla v o r in g red ien t which enhances the taste o f the other stew ingredients. The canned soup pro vides a hearty and convenient base fo r this stew and requires no addi tional thickening. V e lv e ty C h icke n Rosem ary is an o ther d is tin ctive stew, this one fea tu rin g three staple vegetables: ca rro ts , sm all w hite onions and fro zen green beans. T h e velvety sauce based on another condensed soup — condensed creamy chicken m ushroom soup — is com bined with white wine or chicken broth. In addition to rosemary, which has an affin ity for chicken, the seasonings are thyme and parsley. Ideal fall dishes, but good for any time o f year, these stews are hearty a n d , depending on how many people are to be served, can provide a m arvelous second meal fo r another day.

M a rc e lle S tra a tm a n , O regon State University Extension human development specialist, points out that while the loss o f one parent is a serious reversal fo r c h ild re n , it doesn’ t appear "perm anently detri m e n ta l." Parents and children can form successful partnerships w ith advantages for all. H o w eve r, she is concerned that c h ild re n liv in g " in a p artn ersh ip w ith a single parent should not become substitutes for the missing mate. They are still children needing continuous a tte n tio n and loving from a significant ad u lt.” Living in a one parent household means that children have to grow up " a little faster,” the specialist said. A single parent working full-tim e finds sharing household responsibil ities with the children a necessity if the household is to function success fully. Children in one-parent house holds appear to have developed "m ore independence, responsibility and other skills more advanced than ch ild ren fro m tw o -p aren t house holds." T h a t's because it really is neces sary for them to be more responsi ble, Straatman said, because, unlike two-parent fam ilies, it ’ s im portant that children complete their house hold tasks i f the fa m ily is to keep going. In tw o-p aren t fam ilies children may be consulted on inconsequen tial matters, but the final authority and action lies with the adults. In c o n tra s t, c h ild re n in one- parent settings often gain rights and responsibilities not too d iffe re n t from the adult. " G ro w in g up fast has mixed v a lu e s ," S tra atm an p oin ted o u t. "S h a rin g adult problems and joys helps children recognize parents are people just like themselves w ith in securities and strengths. " A t the same time, many children envy those from two-parent families w ho have a m ore carefree c h ild hood.” WË a r Ocean Fresh Fillets 99 Not To Exceed 2 3 % Fat Supply Subiect To Weathei Conditions Duckling Manor House, 4 5 Lb. t 89 S|39 Lb King’s Hawaiian Lemonade Grapefruit Juice Kool-Aid Mixes ‘ Best Buy Cheese Orange Juice Brake Fluid WD-40 Lubricant VO-5 Hair Spray St. Ives Shampoo Concen Celebrity Celebrity, Water Pack, 6 5 Oz.
