Plentiful New Potatoes
New potatoes. Spring-time de
light, are plentiful and reason
ably priced. Small sizes are the
best buy. Always characterized
by a thin feathery skin which
may be either red or white, they
are ideally suited for boiling and
creaming. Scrub well, leaving
whatever skin clings; adds color
and flavor interest as well as
good nutrition. Besides did you
ever try to peel a new potato?
Cream new potatoes with as
paragus tips, adding cooked tips
at the last minute, of course.
Cream and add fresh or frozen
(cooked) peas at the last minute.
Sprinkle creamed new pota
toes generously with browned
butter crumbs.
Parsley-butter new potatoes by
turning cooked potatoes into hot
serving dish and pouring melted
butter over, then turning each
potato until well coated. Now
sprinkle with finely chopped
parsley.
Or make sauce of one cup sour
cream, one teaspoon salt, one
half teaspoon caraway seeds and
two tablespoons chopped parsley
and pour over cooked potatoes;
heat for two minutes.
Pimientos. chopped or sliced in
-arious shapes and sizes, or
chopped or sliced pimiento
stuffed olives can be added to
any of the above for added fla
vor, texture and color.

wealthy: Today it is available all

Here is one of many good ways
to serve it.
Remove outside leaves from a
medium-size head of cauliflower.
Wsh thoroughly under cold
water. Place in pan with one
inch boiling water and one-half
teaspoon salt. Leave uncovered
and bring to boiling point and
boil 10 minutes. Add more water
if necessary. Cover and continue
cooking until tender, about an
other 10 minutes. Place in warm
serving dish. In the meantime,
saute two-thirds cup soft bread
crumbs in one-fourth cup melted
butter or margarine. Add one
teaspoon fresh lemon juice, one
sixteenth teaspoon each of salt
and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle over cauliflower. Gar
nish with paprika.
Deviled Swiss Steak
Will Excite Taste Buds
A Swiss steak to excite even
the most jaded taste buds can
be achieved by pounding dry
mustard into the meat along
with the flour. The resultant
"deviled" flavor blends so weil
with the combined tomato, on
ion and garlic flavors. Mix six
servings.
114 pounds beef round steak
Vi cup flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1V4 teaspoons salt
1 4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion
2 tablespoons shortening
1 clove garlic
1 No. 303 can tomatoes (2 cups)
Mix flour, mustard, salt and
pepper; pound into steak with
meat pounder or edge of heavy
saucer. Slice onion and cook in
hot shortening until yellow; push
to one side of pan or remove to
plate. Brown meat . thoroughly
on both sides. Mince garlic and
add to meat along with onions
and tomatoes. Cover pan and
cook over low heat two hours or
until meat is tender. Add a small
amount of water during cooking,
if necessary.
Green Bean-Mushroom
Cheese Casserole
Blue Lake green beans are a
special type of bean, not a brand
name and they're grown only in
the Pacific Northwest. They are
especially good in this casserole.
Makes four servings.
1 No. 303 can Blue Lake green
beans, drained
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
V4 teaspoon salt
V .teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
1 cup grated or cubed cheese ,
2 4-ounce cans sliced mush
rooms,
Paprika.
Arrange green beans in
greased nine-inch square pan or
one-quart casserole. Melt butter
over low heat;" blend in flour
and seasonings. Cook over low
heat, stirring until mixture is
smooth and bubbly. Remove
from heat and stir in milk. Bring
to a boil and, stirring constantly,
boil for one minute. Add three
quarter cup of the cheese and
all the mushrooms; pour over
beans. Sprinkle with remaining
cheese and some paprika. Bake
until golden brown, about 20
minutes, in 350 degree, moderate,
oven.
Potatoes Belong
On Shoppers' List
Potatoes, tender, sweet new
ones for boiling and creaming
whole, or regular size old crop
for baking, mashing or casser
oling, are very much in the food
news. They belong on every
shopper's list because they have
more energy-giving food value
than any other vegetable; they
are packed with a wealth of vita
mins and minerals; and they fit
into any meal. Incidentally, the
potato itself is not fattening, it
is the butter, sour cream or other
topping you put on it that adds
the calories. One medium potato
has about 100 calories, no more
than an apple or a banana.
Strawberries and rhubarb are
increasing in supply right along.
Now is a good time to go into a
huddle with your produce man
and decide approximately when
to do your "putting up." When
buying rhubarb plan on four to
six servings from each pound.
Spring vegetables are coming
into market in sufficient abund
ance to do away with any menu
monotony. Asparagus still tops
the popularity poll. We suggest
you enjoy it often right now
because the season is all too
short. Fresh peas in the pod, an
other Springtime delight, are
available at fair prices. Choose
those with bright green, fresh
looking velvety pods. Small arti
chokes are reasonable. Pearly
white cauliflower, to be cooked
or served raw, is in good supply.
Wise choices for budget meals
include crisp, golden carrots,
summer and Italian squash, cab
bage, onions, celery, and of
course potatoes which were men
tioned earlier.
Poultry. Frying, broiling and
stewing chickens, as well as tur
keys are bargain priced. In fact
some specials on poultry are so
good the real budget watcher is
likely to feel guilty if she doesn't
take advantage of them.
Fruit buys other than those
already mentioned are primarily
the citrus fruits; tangy grape
fruit, navel oranges and lemons.
A few more melons are available.
Bananas remain steady.
Other Good Buys. Look for
good buys in sliced bacon,
smoked sausages, ham, ground
beef, frankfurters; also shorten
ing and oils, raisins and peanut
butter, packaged cereals, maca
roni products, cake mixes, frozen
and canned citrus fruit juices.

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Friday, May 10, 1957
Editor's note: Aline Mosby is on
vacation. In today's guest column,
television casting director Ruth
Burch gives tips to hopeful actors
on how to get jobs in TV.
By RUTH BURCH
Written for the United Press
Hollywood U.P.) During a
single year I cast approximate
ly 9000 acting roles in some 16
TV programs shows like Wyatt
Earp, the Burns and Allen and
Danny Thomas series, the Life
of Riley and December Bride.
The ratio is about 10 men to
every woman.
Television favors men. It also
favors experienced performers
over new talent, although we're
always on the lookout for prom
ising new faces. Many producers
and directors make a point of
going to little theaters because
they love to discover talent for
themselves. Therefore, new
players who can get into show
cases like little theaters are do
ing themselves a favor.
Interviewing Limited.
Every Tuesday from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m., my assistant and I in
terview new people. Formerly
we interviewed everybody, but
the lines stretched so far, we
couldn't see them all in a day.
Now we require appointments.
What do we look for in appli
cants? Character, p r imarily.
This includes ambition as well
as background, and if they have
no experience, what preparation
they have made to back up their
ambition. My first impression of
a person is usually right, al
though I do not bind myself by
that. A three-minute interview
or a two-minute reading usually
indicates whether a person has
or doesn't have the material we
want. How do we judge a read
ing? By the duality.
Ambition Alone Insufficient
In advising young people who
want to try their luck in tele
vision, motion pictures or on
Broadway, I cannot overempha
size one point; Ambition alone
is not enough. Don't come to
Hollywood or go to New York
unless you have sufficient confi
dence in yourself and a bankroll
to iide you over for at least six
months. But first, get as much
experience as possible with a lo
cal group in your home town or
your radio or TV station.
Girls sometimes break into
pictures with little more than
a pretty face, a voluptuous fig
ure or an offbeat personality.
But TV is far more demanding.
And with fewer motion pictures
being made these days, the com
petition is overwhelming for
any but trained performers.
HE'S REAL NOBLE
London (U.R) George Ian
Murray, a $56 a week assistant
plant manager, took the day off

ance of 18 noble titles. Murray,
a distant cousin and closest liv
ing relative of the late Duke of
Atholl, inherited the duke's title
plus four earldoms, three vis
countries, two marquisates and
eight baronies.
