Who's the Queen
house?
at your i
Mother, of course! So give
her a royal present on
Mother's Day and honor her
with a Coronation Crown
Cake. ' V
To make the cake, use a
package of angel food mix
and you'll be able to prepare
the base in no time. Decorate
it with two kinds of frostings
Seven Minute and Confec
tioners, sugar, silver dragrees
and small square hard candies.
If, you plan to give Mother
a piece of costume Jewelry
for Mother's Day, use it for
the center garnish! "
If some of Mother's friends
are coming for tea or coffee,
you'll want to serve savory
tidbits before you bring on
the Coronation Cake. Easiest
choice in this department are
various kinds of spread ser-ytd-with-crackers
and melba
toast. Here are suggestions:
1. Deviled ham and hard-
cooked eggs moistened with
mayonnaise. Put the eggs
through a ricer, if -you have
one, so they'll be very fine. A
tiny bit of finely grated onion
gives this spread zip.
2. Blue cheese mixed with
an equal quanity of cream
cheese, a little mayonnaise,
and Wocestershire sauce. If
you want the spread to be
very smooth and it tastes
best this way force the blue
cheese through a fine' sieve
before mixing it with cream
cheese. 4
3, Finely chopped chicken
mixed with crisply cooked
crumbled bacon and a little
mayonnaise. Make life easy
Spanish
Beans Good,
Different
One taste of this bean dish
and we think you'll agree that
here's an admirable blend of
seasonings. In case you're
wondering, the coffee isn't ap
parent in the finished dish,
but it does add extra richness
of flavor.
Spanish Beans ,
6 slices bacon, cut fine
1 large onion, minced
4 (No. 303) cans red kidney
beans
1 cup syrup from canned
fruit (pear, peach, apricot,
pineapple, or a mixture of
any of these)
Vi cup strong coffee beverage
Vt cup red wine vinegar
1 bay leaf, crumbled
Vt teaspoon thyme
Pinch of rosemary
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Vx cup sherry
teaspoon monosoda in
glutamate
Combine bacon and onion in
a Dutch oven or other heavy
kettle; cook gently, stirring
frequently, until most of the
fat is out of the bacon. Drain
beans, reserving liquid for pos
sible use later. Add beans to
harnn and onion: add all re
maining ingredients except
sherry and bean liquid. Bring
to a boil, then cover and sim
mer eently Hi hours. Stir
occasionally, using a fork to
void mashing the beans. Add

Early. May
Finds Marts
Bountiful
Plentiful foods on ' May
market are cause for rejoicing,
Fields of plenty dot our land
scape and fill our vegetable
bins to overflowing. The green
of asparagus vies with the red
of luscious strawberries. From
ocean, lakes, streams and fro
zen food ' warehouses come
fine variety in fish at reason
able cost. Dairy products are
approaching their seasonal
peak of production and per
fection. There's an abundance
of meat of good quality; beef
pork and lamb. There's poul
try, even turkeyi for frying
and broiling. No wonder the
western woman is famous 'for
her cooking! Menu planning is
easy! Living is good! But we'd
better stop being lyrical and
get down to cases.
Dry Onions
' The importance of onions In
our cookery cannot' be over
estimated. Growers grow
around two billion ' pounds a
year and average per capita
consumption is above 21
pounds. May is a peak pro
duction month in our area;
all varieties are bargain
priced. Dairy Products
Milk, butter, cheese, butter
milk and nonfat dry milk will
continue plentiful. We'll not
go into the butter situation
but cottage cheese and Ched
dar cheese are excellent
values in good nutrition at
reasonable cost and nonfat
dry milk is a genuine bargain
at any time.
Beff for Home Freezers
If you've a home freezer or
locker, now seems a good
time to stock up on beef which
is priced at the lowest mark
within memory of many. Beef
can be stored, say the experts
at 0 (zero) degrees for six
month&lo a year, except for
ground" Beef -which should not
be stored for more than 45
days. USDA experts recom
mend the selection of sound
high-quality meat for storage;
pot roasts, steaks, stew meat
and ground beef, packaged
in quantities the purchaser
will cook at one time.
Other Good Buys
Margarine, lard shortening
and salod oils. Raisins, large
turkeys, cod fillets and other
frozen fish to be noted in local
stores. Cannot resist mention
ing fresh Chinook salmon for
the making of a luxury meal
at a budget price.
Vegetable Buys
Cabbage, cauliflower, car
rots, celery, lettuce, onions,
potatoes, bunched vegetables,
rhubarb, squash lead with
many other good values to be
found. Fruit buys are local
apples, grapefruit, small
oranges. Good marketing!
FOR BREAKFAST
Honey muffins paired with
fresh fruit atop cereal and
served with honey milk make
an interesting basic breakfast.
