PAGE SIX The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Bloroing, November 25, 1930 COME INTO THE KITCHEN By ELLA M. LEHR Dreaming; of other Thanks-giT-lngs we were as we sat here seeing with faraway eyes soft white snowflalr.es piling; them selres Into a comforting; blanket for a brown old earth, thinking Instead of the day's grind after bed and beans of the glowing logs and groaning table of the old home; and with a start we ferk ourselres back to the everyday wondering though, how in the world any of yon could plant your feet nnder restaurant- ta- bles on Thanksgiving day when you're a home. J 'Course no turkeys stmt regal ly along In your backyard, but there are places to get them, no pumpkins on the Tine outside your door but they do glow up at you from colorful vegetable stands crying aloud for their fin al resting place pumpkin pie. and though the cranberry road you usta wander Is In far off Wisconsin, the scarlet cheeked berries have hied themselves westward for your sakes. .Eat at Home So we plead for the tradition al Thanksgiving at home! Just what you choose for your meat course decides the rest of the meal and so we build our Thanks giving dinner by deciding be tween the traditional turk with saYory oyster dressing fairly bursting his sides, roast duck or stuffed goose, with apple sauce ana mashed potatoes, the old tandby of baked ham resting peacefully in a pool of raisin sauce, or revert to the roast- fine rib of beef with Yorkshire pudding or a crown roast of pork with sugary grilled sweet pota toes, Cheoslng the Thanksgiving bird Is the all-important thiag. Don't forget to order it early It you expect to get the choicest; and bo sure you know what you want. For six or eight guests or der an eight "or ten-pound turkey - preferably a hen turkey. For more guests mora turkey. Some prefer to use two eight or ten pound turkeys Instead of an 18 or SO pound bird for the latter being older is never quite so ten der. We always do a bit of detective work on the side no matter uy w iiusmunuj our uuicaer, ll pays! There are so many different possibilities In planning the Thanksgiving dinner that we of fer several menus which may help you. With a bit of thinking ahead much of the preparation can be done the day before.

Ugh how I hate stuffed peppers I'm sever quite sure what' the wife has stowed away In those things." and a murderous glint appeared in his eye. -Too bad," I sighed with him. "Better be glad her life and yours doesn't rerolve around t can-opener. Ob, I say, I saw you at Pierre's today. , Have a good lunch?" "Say, if my wife could cook like Pierre can, I'd buy her that mink coat today. The best carried chick en I ever set my teeth in boy!" Mr. M. M. M. breathed great sighs of gustatory joy. "And ragouts and, chicken pie oh!" "Here." remarks I to myself, "is a true lever of the manly mul ligan the typical American dish -hash!" "Good day," ses I, murmuring unintelligible nothings about an appointment and scribbling on my clean white cuff hieroglyphics which, translated, will enable you to extract a new dress and pos sibly a hat to accompany It. A man is never so docile, you know, as after a perfect dinner. I happened to know that Pier re's curried chicken and captivat ing ragouts were the disguised leftovers" of yesterday s fowl and lamb joints! He uses his im agination, along with cheese, and onion the grand old onion; and garlic gently insinuated into stew. "Ragout la the French name. Hash! I Leftover meats or fresh bits seared, plus leftover vegetables or fresh, cubed, immersed in good rich gravy and allowed to slowly become acquainted that is the stew Friend Hubby scorns at his own table, but fights tor over the counter. It must be well-seasoned peppercorns, bayiear, a sprig oi thyme, a garlic clove, always good, but no two stews would taste alike. If his lore is waning, try curry. a tiny bit. with Teal, lamb, chick en or rabbit cnt in cubes and simmered in a gravy. Serve al ways with rice, and confidence. Turkey or chicken may be served the day after in a casserole with gravy and a few vegetables added. A root of mashed potatoes browned, long realized the life protecting gives it the name of "shepherd's pie." Topped with a rich biscuit or pie crust and popped In and out of a hot oven brings memories of mother's chicken pie. . Other meats may be used in the same way and varied by adding mushrooms, cooked macaroni and various seasonings. If the pieces of meat or fowl are larga enough, roll them In. bread or cracker crumbs; egg, then the crumbs again, and fry them quickly la deep fat or brown them ia a hot oven. Plebian creamed mixtures an easy to disguise and "stretch" left over fowl,-take on aa air of dis tinction when served in timbale cases or patty shells, dipped first in egg white or melted batter, then in parsley, chopped fine. Club Sandwiches Club sandwiches require' a lay er of sliced fowl la the building of the double decks. Three slices of bread or toast are used, pro riding two spaces to be filled. A typical club sandwich contains let tuce, dressed with mayonnaise, a slice of chicken, seasoned; toma to, a strip of ham or bacon hot. It is a meal in itself from starch to vitamins. , 51 eat Croquettes - Meat croquettes served with or asparagus or shaped as cutlets are most tempting, and an excel ent camouflage.
