0 o :Hftr ED70JID (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, December 22, 1957 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor in Givyer Beef is RosU Holidjf Treat Here is a truly exciting new meat dish in which thin strips of beef re pan sauced with a cat sup, soy and wine dressing. Serve with rice. Six servings. Cut W'z pounds tender beef steak into thin strips. We didn't say this is economical: But we do make the steak go a long way. Dredge well in two tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour" mixed with two teaspoons ginger, two teaspoons paprika and one tea spoon garlic salt. Brown quickly two or three xaDiespoons rfceated cooking or salad oil. Re move meat from pan and keep hot. To saucepan, add two table spoons butter, one teaspoon Wor cestershire sauce, one teaspoon soy sauce, two tablespoons toma to catsup and one-half cup Cali fornia red or white wine; stir to blend. Bring to a quick boil; add meat and heat a few minutes. Serve with rice or riced pota toes.

Crumble the removed cheese; pour some cream or sherry over it. Allow cheese to soften, then whip until fluffy. If desired, stir in coarsely chop ped nuts. Refill cheese shell pil ing high. Spaghetti and Meat Balls Fast for Busy Shoppers Harried holiday shoppers will find this a good meal to come home to because it can be put to gether in a matter of minutes and the pleasant aroma of well flavored spaghetti sauce creates illusion of long - time cooking. Secret is in the tabasco which ac tually is the liquid form of mel low red peppers from southern Louisiana.

While this is simmering, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Turn onto warm platter, pile meat balls in center and pour sauce over all, Sprinkle generously with Par mesan or other grated cheese. Six servings for four persons. How about a generous tossed sal- and and a fruit pie with this? Festive Popcorn Fresh popcorn balls, wrapped and piled high in bowl, on tray or other container or hung on the tree.odelight old and young alike. They re so easily made, You'll get 20 or so medium size balls from each four quarts pop corn. Boil together one cup light corn syrup, one-half cup sugar and one teaspoon cream of tartar until a drop forms a hard ball in cold water (265 degrees on candy thermometer). Remove from heat.

Add red or green fruit coloring to the syrup if you'd like them to look es pecially Christmasy. Christmas Meats Are Many as Smart Shoppers Whether the big family din ner is planned for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, meat comes first. A gift of meat is a practical holiday notion that goes back to the Puritan cabins of New England and the Tudor halls of Williamsburg. Meat packing firms have produced special Christmas wrappings for beef roasts, steaks, pork loins, fresh and smoked hams, Canadian-style and long-smoke bac ons, salamis, spicy Italian hams, headcheese and other cherished Christmas meats. Ham and pork products are available in festive tins, many of them spiced, decorated with candied fruits and ready for the table. The bigger meat markets feature suckling pig, hogs head cheese, aged rib and crown roasts of beef. Turkeys, ducks and geese are holiday fare favored by many; welcome ahead of time as a gra cious gift or sent in anticipation of sharing at a family gathering. Turkey is far and away the best buy for feeding a flock of people. The bigger the turkey, the better the buy. And few eating plea sures exceed that of cold turkey sandwiches the next day. Be sure to spread bread generously with butter or mayonnaise; salt and pepper each individual sand wich for superlative eating. Broilers and fryers are plentiful. Plenty of pork, lamb and beef and check again on specialties mentioned above for home tables. Dairy Products. Put in extra butter, margarine, cream, half and half, a variety of cheeses.

"If the ducks had any sense," Breckheimer said, ''they'd go south anyway." ! k MISSILES CONFERENCE Vice President Richard Nixon (center) chats with Dr. Arthur Kentrowitz (left) director of Avco Research Laboratory, and Peter J.

Eisenhowers May Divide Christmas at Capitol, Gettysburg Washington (W President and Mrs. Eisenhower may make! Christmas the occasion for a longi holiday week end divided be tween the White House and their Gettysburg farm. - That was the unofficial talk around the White House Satur day. Their plans have not yet been announced. The President's doctors may have a voice in the decision, de pending on how they think he stood the strain of the Paris NATO meeting. Another Trip Ruled Out Their prescription of rest at every opportunity in Eisenwho er's recovery from the Nov. 25 mild stroke probably will rule out another long trip such as to Augusta, Ga. at this time. ' The Eisenhowers spent Christ mas in 1953 and 1954 in their Augusta golf course cottage. The past two years they presided over big family gatherings at the White House. They have never spent a Christmas at their Pennsylvania farm, where a little snow can turn the landscape into a classic Yuletide scene.'- - For their Thanksgiving holi day, immediately after the Presi dent's mild stroke,, the Eisen howers, had Thanksgiving din ner at the White House and then drove the 80 miles to Gettys burg for a quiet week end on the farm. Talk around the White House late last week was that the same plan might be followed at Christ mas time. To Light Christmas Tree The President will formally light the national Christmas tree on the ellipse just south of the White House Monday afternoon. The televised ceremony will key similar rites in many other'cities. The first family's Christmas plans almost certainly will in clude the grandchildren Maj. John's son David, 9, and daugh ters Barbara Ann, 8, Susan 6, and Mary Jean, 2. The young Eisenhowers live in nearby Alex andria, Va., and also have a cottage on the edge of the Presi dent's Gettysburg farm.
