turn out plump in this sweet
sauce.
Coffee-Nut Parfait

You know, of course, that
what goes with this light-some
dessert is lots of fresh, steam

tiest china. Then there should
be a great bowl of yellow
blooms on the table. After that,
all you need is enough time to
savor these spring delights to
the full.

Mint for Flavor
Canned fruit cocktail is a
staple in most American
households, where it is used
"as is," as a salad, as an in
gredient in tasty puddings and
pies. One of the very sinmple
salad versions which we en
joy is the use of the fruit
cocktail in lemon-flavored
gelatin. W toss in a generous
sprinkling of garden-fresh
chopped mint to give It special
refreshment.

Queen of the chicken dishes

This fine recipe'as featured,
appropiately enough, when

Onion Bake Will
Prove Family Treat
So many people traveling
in Europe this yearl Believe
it or not, a friend post-carded
thin reelne airmail which
seemed like a lot of recom
mendation for It. She's right!
It's good! Timely too, since
onions sre in heavy supply
and growers will appreciate
your lavish use in ways like
this. The Swiss . call this
"Shaffhausen Cake."
Peel and cut two pounds of
onions into small pieces. (Not
sliced, you'll notice). Turn
onions in butter or pork fat
until glazed and brownish in
color. Prepare a' regular pie
dough (we used a mix) and
spread in regular pie form.
Add onions. Over this, pour
two well beaten eggs to which
you've added salt, paper and
2 tablespoons of cream. Bake
In 350 degree oven for about
20 minutes or until pie crust
is done. If you like onions,
you'll like this. How about
some young beef liver to go
with it?
