Stor Lima Goodness
Big ihin green Persian limes
are in season now and will bs
shipped from Florida through
September. Here's a trick for
making the most of their short
season. Squeeze the big juicy
seedless limes and freeze the
Juice in ice cube trays. Once
frozen, remove from trays and
store in plastic bags in freezer
or freezer compartment of re
frigerator. You'll have Ice cubes with
built-in flavor for iced tea, colas
and other fruit juices and tall
cool beverages. Extra flavor too
when used to cool limeade made
from frozen concentrated pro
ducts. The distinctive lime flavor,
fresh or ice cubed, enhances
fruit cups and melon ball cock
tails. Try melting a lime ice
cube In a melon half or wedge.
Strawberry Ice Cream
How about that? Make some
fresh strawberry ice cream
while there still are fresh straw'
berries around. You'll have re
peat orders.
Scald one cup milk in top of
double boiler on low heat. Beat
two egg yolks slightly with one'
half cup sugar and one-quarter
teaspoon salt. Stir into milk and
cook until mixture coats the
spoon or custard is slightly
thickened. Remove from heat
and chill in refrigerator. ,
Stir one-half, cup sugar and
one tablespoon lemon juice into
one cup crushed strawberries.
When custard is cold, add straw
berry mixture and pour into
trays. Set in freezer until par
tially frozen. Whip one cup
whipping cream until stiff. Beat
the partially frozen berry mix
ture and fold in the cream. Re
turn to freezing compartment
and stir two or three times dur
ing freezing to prevent crystal
lzatlon. Orange Carrots
We make carrots even more
golden by adding orange juice
Both are plentiful and very low
In cost. For each four servings
cut eight carrots into rings or
strips. Blend one-quarter cup
sugar, two tablespoons flour,
one-half teaspoon salt, one
half cup fresh orange juice and
one tablespoon grated orange
rind. Cook, stirring constantly
for five minutes. Serve over
cooked carrots. This is very good
on beets, too.
Dress-Up Leafy Greens
Fresh tangy greens, piled high
on produce counters, make a
i pretty sight; make pretty good
eating, too. Consider collards,
beet tops, mustard, dandelion
greens along wthi the popular
spinach. Combine them for
something new in the menu.
Young tender greens should be
cooked only in the water that
clings to their leaves. They're
delicious when sprinkled with
fresh lemon juice, with melted
butter or crumbled crisp bacon.
The Chinese pan greens by cook
ing briefly in heavy frying pan
with small amount of boiling
water and butter.
. Southerners are likely to cook
greens with ham, salt pork or
bacon and then crumble corn
bread into the resulting broth.
Raw spinach, kale or mustard
greens are very good in tossed
salad combination; add texture
and color as well as flavor in
terest. A little vinegar and sugar
heated together Is a popular
dressing for greens as well as
for lettuce, snap beans or cab
bage. Cucumber Bowl
A reminder to make up a
bowl of cucumbers in sour
cream. No one peels cucumbers
any more. Just score the cucum
bers lengthwise with fork tines
to fancy them up before slicing
them thinly. Pour over a dress
ing made by blending one cup
sou cream, one, teaspoon salt,
Wt tablespoons vinegar and one
small onion grated (or two green
onions, tops and all cut very
fine). Chill and serve with any
meat or fish.
Chuck Steak Bargain
Beef bargains are to be found
in chuck steaks which are be
ing cut from high quality beef.
They need only a meat tendar-
:zer to guarantee fine flavor, fine
texture and tenderness. A jar of
meat tenderizer is standard
cooking equipment nowadays.
Figure on one to 1 Vi teaspoons
moat tenderizer for each two
to three pounds chuck steak
cut 1U inches thick. Slash fat.
edges, sprinkle steak evenly on
both sides with tenderizer. Do
not salt. Pierce all over with
sharp fork to allow penetration.
Let stand at room temperature
one hour or cover loosely and
refrigerate overnight. Broil as
usual, taking care not to over
work since tenderizing speeds
up cooking time. Slice crossgrain
when serving
Don't Pinch Our Fruit
It Hurts Their Peelings
Our sympathies are entirely
with fruit men who must re
mind customers not to pinch the
fruit. We like the Italian way
of putting it, too; "If you must
pincha da fruit, pincha da coco
nut." Fresh fruits and veget
ables, being perishable require
constant attention, both on the
produce stands and after you
get them home in order to keep
fresh appearance. The less hand
ling all along the line, the long
er their life, so treat them gent
ly. When It comes to specials,
have in mind the use to whic.i
you plan to put them. Surplus
crops or an exceptionally good
purchase on a rising market en
able retailers to feature specials
that are genuine bargains. It is
usually important that these
products be used immediately
since they're being harvested in
quantity at peak of production.
If it is "looks" you want, you'll
usually pay higher prices. For
ingredient and other cooking
purposes, there are many good
buys.
Fruit Buys. Peaches remain
the outstanding fruit value. Can,
freeze, jam, pickle or otherwise
preserve them in ways liked
best by the family. Let the chil
dren help. Apricots, plums and
cherries are going fast so en
joy them right now and put up
a few jars or packages. Thoss
Astrachan apples are good.
There are Thompson seedless
grapes, nectarines, berries of all
kinds. Big demand on water
melons keep their prices higher
than usual at this time of year.
Lots of Valencias for juicing.
Figs. Bartlett pears and Graven-
stein apples are putting in appearance.
Vegetable Buys. There's prac
tically anything you can think
of but if you want menu-planning
ideas, here they are: cab
bage, cauliflower, celery, corn,
cucumbers, lettuce, romaine,
green beans, peas, potatoes, on
ions, radishes, soft squash,
bunched vegetables, pepers.
Meat and Fish. Watch news
paper ads and display signs for
best buys. Chuck steaks and pot
roasts are fine values in round
bone, blade bone and T-bone
cuts When tenderized these cuts
may be broiled indoors or out
doors very successfully. Breast
cf lamb is big bargain for brais
ing and barbecuing; so is stew
meat. Plenty of poultry, both
chickens and turkeys. Halibut is
fish of the month and very
good, too. If you've a home
freezer, . store a few halibut
meals besides enjoying this fine
fish today or tomorrow.

Lights on Mountain "
Appalachian Mystery
Jonas Ridge, N. C.
A mystery of the Southern Ap
palachians is the appearance of
strange, softly glowing lights on
top and across the face of Brown
Mountain near Morganton.
The flickering lights can be
observed from afar and appear
to hover over the mountain
Residents of the area say the
best views of the mysterious
lights are obtained from spots
along Jonas Ridge, and the
floating lights are at their
brightest, changing from orange
to blue, immediately after a
rain.
What causes the Tights to ap
pear is unexplained.
