COTTAGE CHEESE COOKERY
When meat supplies are shorter,
wise homemakers turn to other pro-,
tein foods that may alternate with
meat for main dishes. Cottage
cheese, rich in both protein and cal
cium, may be used in main dishes
and be considered a satisfactory oc
casional meat alternate.
Cottage cheese can be seasoned
with onion, herbs like parsley and
sage, chopped pimiento, green pep
per and celery, or tomato sauce.
For added flavor and food value
chopped nuts, peanut butter or eggs
can be added. The chees itself
needs no cooking, only heating for
hot dishes, although other ingredi
ents with it may need some cook
ing. Always avoid long cooking or
high heat which toughens the curds
and may cause separating.
You'll find a delicious hot dish
for dinner in these cottage cheese
patties.
Cottage Cheese Patties
1 cup cottage cheese; 1 cup bread
crumbs; 2 tbsp butter or cup
peanut butter; cup chopped nut
meats, V tsp powdered thyme; Vfe
tsp powdered sage; 1 tbsp milk;
1-3 tsp soda; 1-3 tsp salt; tsp
pepper; 2 tbsp chopped onion.
Dissolve soda in milk and work
into cheese to remove any acid fla
vor. Cook onion in a little fat until
tender but not brown. Then mix
onion and peanut butter thoroughly
with cheese. Mix seasonings and
chopperd nuts with crumbs. Com

mixture. Form into flat cakes. Roll
in fine crumbs or corn meal. Fry a

The mixture should be' very stiff
because the cheese tends to soften
in cooking. Serves five.

Have you ever tried cottage

delicious one. Here is a recipe to

office on the following dates:

Feb. 13; Morgan, Feb. 15; Lexing
ton, Feb. 17; lone, Feb. 20.
Since publishing Morrow county's
wheat goal of 94 percent of last
year, several farmers have asked
if they would be required to re
duce their wheat acreage. The-answer
is no. The wheat goal was set
at 94 percent because our wheat
and fallow acreage is unbalanced
and this is our short year. Farmers
may seed all their fallow to wheat,
if they so deire. The acreage would
still be about 94 percent of last
year.
