Easter Eggs
Home-made Easter egg candies
can be simple to prepare and pre
sent a rather important looking
effect. Here the candies include
marshmallows and . rice cereal,
which are chocolate coated:
Here's the recipe in detail:
CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS
2 tablespoons buter or
margarine
pound (about 16) rnarsh
mallows 3 cups oven-popped rice
cereal
2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweet
chocolate pieces
Melt butter and marshmallows
over boiling water until syrupy,
stirring occasionally. Measure ce
re 1 into buttered bowl. Pour on
syrup, stirring until well-coated.
Form into egg shaped balls. Let
stand until cool.
Melt chocolate over hot but
not boiling water. Dip "eggs" in
chocolate. Place on cake rack or
waxed paper; let stand in cool
place to harden. Yield: 12 choco
late covered Easter eggs.
Lemon Gives
Generously
Of Its Flavor
Frozen lemonade is one of the
handiest of all foods the grocer
has to offer from his refrigerated
display counter. One of the most
important reasons we like the
frozen juice is that it's quick to
use and the cook can use only
what the recipe requires, putting
the well covered can back into
the freezer for future use.
Here are some handy hints us
ing frozen lemon juice:
For an easy cream dressing for
lettuce or cole slaw, mix 2 parts
frozen concentrate for lemonade
with 1 part thin cream; add salt
and pepper if desired. Serve over
leaf lettuce or shredded cabbage.
Use frozen concentrate for lem
onade to season mince or apple
pies. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoonsful
of the concentrate, undiluted, ov
er the pie filling just before you
put on the top crust. Good with
other fruit pies, too apricot,
peach, or cherry.
Season cooked prunes with
frozen lemonade. It's good with
other dried fruits, too. Cook the
fruit just as usual; then add 3 or
4 tablespoons of the frozen con
centrate for lemonade, undiluted,
just before you take the fruit
from the fire. Simmer just a few
minutes, then chill.
With Berries
Two flavors that just naturally
combine are those of frozen lem
onade and strawberries. Mix the
concentrate for lemonade with a
package of frozen strawberries,
use as sundae topping or to make
ice cream parfaits. If you're using
frozen sweetened strawberries for
shortcake, add a few spoonsful of
concentrate for lemonade to them,
too, for a delicious new shortcake
flavor.
Rhubarb season is another time
to season with frozen lemonade.
Cook the fresh rhubarb as usual
and, when nearly done, season to
taste with a few spoonsful frozen
concentrate for lemonade. Sim
mer just a few minutes longer.
Serve chilled.
Mix frozen concentrate for
lemonade with honey, equal
parts; heat just to piping hot
(don't boil), and melt in a lump
of butter. Delicious as syrup on
waffles, pancakes, or biscuits.
Brush frozen concentrate for
lemonade over banana slices tbe
next time you make a banana
cream pie then proceed with
the pie as usual. Keeps the sliced
bananas from discoloring and
adds flavor, too.
Brush brown-'n-serve rolls with
frozen concentrate for lemonade
just before you put them in the
oven. Glazed and lemon-flavored,
they're delightful with fruit or
chicken salads.
Rich Top
Lemonade biscuits are easy
with the back of a spoon, press
a dent in the top of each biscuit
before you bake them; put in a
spoonful of frozen concentrate for
lemonade. Sweet and lemon-flavored,
these are a delicious biscuit
variation.
COOL OFF
Don't be in a hurry to clean
your toaster right after using it;
make sure it's cool and discon
nected. YOU'RE SMART

Bedtime Bookworm Needs Best
Lighting to Be Kind to Eyesight
By ERMINA FISHER
County Extension Agent Home Economics
Are you a bed-time book worm? If so, you'll be interested in how
to provide eyesight comfort for the bed-time readers in your home.
For years, we've heard said that it is harmful to read in bed. Let's
discard that idea. It isn't a question of where to read, but the kind
of light you have to read by. Reading in bed if only for a short time
is still a "seeing task" and requires the same amount of light as
reading in one's favorite chair in I :
the livine room
Many lamps are sold as "blti
lamps" which are not satisfactory
as a lamp for bed-time reading.
Myrtle Fahsbender, director of
home lighting for a well known
appliance manufacturer, tells of
a study seeking the answer to
"What is the best light for read
ing in bed." Seventeen different
bed lighting installations were
used in the study..
Room and Page Must Be Lighted
The most important finding
was that there must be a general
room illumination as well as dif
fused light on the reading page
A satisfactory lamp for bed-time
reading should give some upward
light into the room and provide
glareless downward light. By
having both up and down light,
you avoid sharp, disturbing con
trasts. In the study, they found sev
eral lamps which gave the quan
tity and quality of light needed.
Two wall units practically tied
for top honors. One was an incan
descent wall lamp with 150-watt
bulb and white-lined, open-top
silk shade 13" in diameter. The
glass diffusing bowl permitted a
distribution of light up, and a
generous amount of soft, down
ward light The other wall lamp
was a specially . designed one us
ing a 40-watt fluorescent lamp.
The old standby, the table lamp
did the next all-around lighting
job, being equipped with a dif
fusing bowl or a mushroom
shaped white indirect light bulb.
Many stores,;in Salem carry this
white indirect light bulb and the
wide harp which is used with it
Less Serviceable Lamps
The tests showed that bullet
shaped spotlights create a con
fined and excessively bright spot
on the page, contrasting sharply
with the dark background. The
pupil of the eye has difficulty in
adjusting to the bright spot on
the page and the dark backgroun
of the room.
Lighting fixtures that clamp
on the headboard were ruled out.
Usually the reader is forced into
uncomfortable positions.
In using a table lamp for bed
time reading, the relationship of
lamp and table height to bed
height should be such that the
bottom of the shade is approxi
mately 20 inches above the top
of the mattress.
Those who go in for wall
mounted units above the head
board of the bed should allow ap
proximately 30 inches from the
top of the mattress to the bottom
edge of the shade.
Following these dimensions
there will be light on the reading

Cook With New
Ideas Takes to
Veal Cookery
The cook who delight in cre
ating new food combinations is
usually one who has mastered the
basic principles of cooking and
who has a sood food imagination.
For instance, variety with veal is
easy; and fun once you ve learned
the technique of basic veal cook
ery. Veal chops, steaks and cutlets
are best when braised so when
preparing, cover the meat with a
protective coating, brown in fat
and cook slowly in a liquid until
tender. Following these simple
steps will result in veal at its ten
der best, and then you can begin
to vary it in exciting ways.
Because veal is the most deli
cately flavored of all meats, you
can give your ingenuity free reign
when choosing seasonings. If tbe
family likes herb cookery, add a
pinch of marjoram or thyme for
intriguing veal flavor. Or try a
bit of garlic or onion juice for
"what's in it" interest.
Fritter batter is a choice veal
coating, or you can cover veal
chops or steaks with a thin beaten
egg and cracker crumb mixture.
Fruit juices, spiced raisin sauce
and sour cream are just a few of
the liquids that add a gourmet
appeal to veal cookery.
So, actually, there are all sorts
of ways to make your cooking
more enjoyable just by knowing
basic food preparation and imagi
natively varying it. Here are
two delicious veal receipes de
signed for the freative cook. All
are for 4 servings.
