Recently a woman I know even used mashed cooked carrots
Instead of applesauce in her caka recipe. It sounds good, though wa
haven't tried it. Her recipe for applesauce caka uses lots of raisins
and nuts. . '
Though spring greens are not yet coming late tha markets
locally, many canned enes are good and beam are especially prac
tical for salads. Here we're one that takes the beans and dressing
made especially.
