BAKED APPLES Baked apples may be prepared in advance of a meal, and at dinner all that needs to be done is to reheat them and serve. There are several ways which apples may be baked. Zola Vincent discusses ways of baking apples today. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor ECONOMY-WISE FOOD HINTS Right now as we face a new year confronted by all those bill hanging over from the old year, leemi a fine time to check up on some of our thrift habits, if any. A good diet depends not so much on the amount of money it costs as on the nutritive value of the different foods selected for it. If we're going to balance our budgets, we're going to find it necessary to wage a little war on waste in our kitchens, far from the gay abandon of Dec ember. Smart, economy-minded homemakers take iito considera tion the season of the year, the plentifuls, the fresh foods cover ed in this newspaper's weekly market report, the newspaper advertised specials in all depart ments, the market displays of best buys. Avoid Wasteful Ways Waste begins with selection of food and carries right on through improper storage and use of left- overs. Consider the prodigal amount of fat wasted through improper storage. Leftover fats and drippings are good food and can be used again but they must be stored in a dry, cold, dark place. Left on stove to grow rancid, they II spoil flavor of other foods in which they are used. There's waste in products that are carelessly prepared and so turn out to be failures. Careful measuring atcording to recipe or package directions can make the difference between a cake or dish that is thoroughly enjoyed or only half eaten. When meat is improperly cooked, allowed to brown overly much or cooked at too high a temperature, it shrinks more than necessary; gives fewer serv ings per pound. Laftovara Heatad To preserve best flavor of left overs, heat them thoroughly but do not cook the food again. Leaf vegetables such as tops of beets or turnips, escarole, kale, spinach, collards are all approximately equal in food value. Use whichever is avail able at lowest price. Sweet potatoes and white po tatoes may be used interchange ably. White potatos usually are the better buy but sweet po tatoes are a treat once in a while Odd bits of tomatoes, green onions, green peppers, celery and parsley can be depended upon to add new flavor and interest as well as bulk and nourishment to leftovers. May Ba Amaied Check the refrigerator and bread box each morning; other wise you may be amazed at what you fifid lurking there a few days hence. Fruits and vegetables, being perishable, should be bought only in reasonable quantities and with appreciation of refrigera tion and storage space. They should be examined carefully for spots and bruises of any kind, tending toward early decay. Al most any part of a vegetable can be salvaged and will add nutri tive value as well as flavor to your soup stock. Waste of milk can be avoided by utilizing sour milk in many delicious ways such as biscuits, pancakes, shortcakes, muffins among dozens in your cookbooks. Dried fruit and dried beans and peas which have been soak ed for several hours or over night require less cooking. They ahould be cooked in the water in which they are soaked, re taining all those good health values. Macaroni Products Macaroni products are perhaps the most versatile and econom ical of all foods; make a fina meal when simply buttered, add ed to cream or cheese sauce; combine well with practically any other food. Fish and poultry are plentiful in our area; comparatively in expensive and may well be used in menus more often. P 1 a n n e d-overs save time, money and energy. One day's good eating often makes an even better meal when new sea sonings are added for pepping up purposes. Brown and white eggs have the same food value. Use which ever costs less. Cook potatoes, both white and , sweet in their jackets; eat skin and all. Eat all edible garnishes such as lettuce and parsley. Don't peel tomatoes or pare cucumbers or apples; important health values are in the skins. Apples In Baking Boon to the busy homemaker is baked apples which may be prepared in advance, even a whole day ahead. Then when din ner time comes around, reheat them and serve. No one needs to be reminded that apples are at peak of their eating goodness, plentiful in our markets. Apple Buying It's wise to buy apples with an eye to how they are to be used. There are broad-shouldered red Delicious apples which hail from Washington State's famous apple valleys, ideal for eating out of hand and salad making. There are crisp, juicy, all-purpose apples like the rosy Jona thans and golden Delicious and the red yellow striped Rome Beauties which are unsurpassed for baking. Macarooned Apples Using 6 Jonathan, golden Delicious or Rome Beauty apples, core and pare the top third of each apple. Fill with 6 crumbled coconut macaroons. Combine and cream together 1 cup sugar, dash of salt, 2 tablespoons shredded orange rind and 'i cup softened butter or margarine. Add ',-4 cup orange juice combined with '2 cup water. Add a little red food coloring if you like. Pour sauce over "filled apples in deep baking dish. Bake un covered ' in moderate oven, 350 degrees, about 45 minutes or until tender. Baste frequently Around Hollywood Hollywood 'U.R) The most controversial Hollywood film in years, "Baby Doll." has been called obscene by some critics but one of its stars, Karl Maiden, de fends it as "honest" and "setting a new trend." The story of the young bride who has Aline Moby a kissless marriage has stirred up lively battles. The movie was condemned by the U.S. Catholic Legion of Decency. In England a representative of the Catholic Film Institute described the film as "degrading" but said he saw no reason why adult Roman Catholics should not see it. "I believe it's the most honest picture ever made in America," the affable Maiden said. "I also think this will start a new trend in honest pictures with adult themes. If you're going to get people away from TV sets, you have to make pictures that are adult. Face Reality "Look at "Man with the Golden Arfn," he continued. "It didn't even get a Producers' Associa tion Code seal of approval. ('Baby Doll' did)..You can't be an ostrich and put your head in a hole and say certain conditions don't exist." To those who claim "Baby Doll" is too sexy, Maiden replies, "Whether the girl is seduced is left to the individual to decide." The film never makes that point clear. "If you're going to look for smut you'll find it in the Bible," he said. "The cheesecake in 'Baby Doll' is nothing compared to Maniyon Monroe in 'The Seven Year Itch' when her skirt was blown over her head." Unique Film Although '.'Baby Doll" is a unique film. Maiden is pessi mistic about ita chances in the with pan sauce to glaze. Serve plain or with whipped cream flavored with a little shredded orange rind. Six servings. Sugar and Cinnamon Fill center of each apple with sugar and cinnamon, place I teaspoon butter on each apple. Bake with a little water in pan. Stuff apples with combination of equal amounts of seedless raisins and chopped apple. Make sirup using equal amounts of light corn sirup and water; add 2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies. Pour cinnamon sirup over apples and bake. Fill apples with orange marm alade and bake. Just before apples are ready to come out of oven, place a marshmallow on top of each and return to oven just long enough for marshmal low to puff and brown lightly. By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Oscar race. He thinks the con troversy "will frighten Academy voters." Others feel Maiden, Eli Wallach and Carroll Baker all rate Academy Award nomina tions for their superb efforts in the unusal movie. More important, the actor thinks, is that the movie intro duces a new format to the screen. The-ending is more like that of a short stary or one-act play (it was based on a one-act play by Tennessee Williams). The fate of each of the three char acters never is revealed. "The picture hasn't been out long enough for me to get fan reaction in the mail," he said, "But when I played a priest in 'On the Waterfront' I got crank letters threatening me. So, what are you going to do." Dogs in County Must Have Licenses March I All dogs over eight months old are required to have dog license according to county clerk, Mrs. Bertha P. Hopkins. Licenses may be purchased in the county clerk's office in the county courthouse for S1.50 and are good anywhere in the state. March 1 is the deadline for buying the new dog license.
