Newspaper Page TextMEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1962 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT rood Editor Ariichokej Beckon An artichoke is a Ihistle "like plant of the same family as thistles, sunflowers and lettuce, is cultivated for its flowering head that is gather ed before the flower expands. Artichokes have been culti vated in the Mediterannean area for thousands of years. Today, all artichokes grown commercially in the United Slates are grown in the Half Moon Bay district and a five county area south of San Francisco. Artichokes are mostly mar keted fresh though a small percentage is canned or frozen as artichoke hearts. They're available all year but now we are going into a season of abundance that will last until May. How to Cook This is for newcomers to our area. Wash artichokes; trim stems to one inch; pull off tough outer leaves and snip off tips of remaining leaves. Place artichokes in one inch of boiling water; add lemon juice allowing l'i tea spoons for each artichoke. Sprinkle each artichoke with one-fourth teaspoon salt. Cov er tightly and cook 20 to 45 minutes depending on size of artichokes or until stems can easily be pierced with two-tine fork. Immediately turn archi chokes upside down to drain. We personally cook arti chokes with some pickling spices tossed into the cooking water; pour a bit of olive or salad oil into their hearts while cooking. Serve one small or medium size artichoke per person. Larger artichokes are cooked -as indicated here, then cut in two, the "choke" removed and served "on the half shell." How to Eat Newcomers frankly ask "how do you eat these?" Old timers say that artichokes are eaten with the fingers. Each leaf is pulled off and dipped in the accompanying sauce and the tender end of the leaf is eaten. When leaves have all been stripped off, the choke is removed, the tender base is cut into pieces, dipped into the sauce and eaten with a fork. Favored Sauces No matter what we say, most hot artichokes are likely to be served with lemon but ter, preserving their fine dis tinctive flavor; cold arti chokes are likely to be served with mayonnaise or with mayonnaise and dairy sour cream, half and half. Lemon Butter. For each eight servings, simply com bine one-half cud lemon and one-half cup softened butter, two tablespoons water and one-half teaspoon paprika; heat and serve. Or add one teaspoon tarragon or a tiny bit of garlic powder, if you like. Hollandaise Sauce. Our easiest of all Hollandaisc-type sauce is made like this: In a saucepan, combine one stick butter, three slightly beaten egg yolks and three table spoons lemon juice; let set for 45 minutes or so. Heat, over very low flame, stirring constantly for l'i to 3 min utes until desired consistency. This can be made ahead of time, stored in refrigerator and gently reheated for hot vegetable. Good party spread, too. Spicy Tomato Sauce. A re cently arrived easterner dreamed this up and many will like it though we're stick ing to lemon butter. Combine one large tomato, chopped, one-half cup chili sauce, one tablespoon prepared horse radish, one-fourth cup vine gar, salt, pepper and one fourth grated onion; mix well. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Golden Apple Sauce Cake Is Super Special This quickly-made cake Is super in several ways. It's made with a package of white cake mix: has baked-on top ping that combines apple sauce, coconut and raisins. Sec what we mean? Serve warm or cold. 1 package whitT cake mix 1 teaspoon almond extract 2 cups (1 can) canned apple sauce I cup flaked coconut ' j cup light brown sugar 1 4 cup melted butter or marearine 1 cup white raisins Prepare cake mix according to directions on packace: add almond extract Combine ap ple sauce, coconut, brown sugar, butter or margarine and raisins. Pour one-half ap ple sauce mixture in 2 greased 9x9x2 inch cake pans. Cover with cake batter, divid ing evenly between two pans. Bake in moderate oven. 375 eegrees. 25 to 30 minutes. Cool three minutes on rack. Turn out up-ide down on cake plate or platter Quick Corn Reliih There's scarcely a meal Will wheat when a relish wouldn't be the perfect touch. Here we make a quick corn relish starting with a 12 ounce-can or frozen package oi whole kernel corn. 2 cups (12-ounce can) whole kernel corn, drained ij cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon instant minced onion tablespoons salad oil i tablespoons cider vinegar i tablespoons diced green i pepper tablespoon diced pimiento . I l lauiespuon prepared mustard i Salt 1 teaspoon salad herb mix Combine all ingredients; toss to mix well. Chill several hours before serving. This will keep well in refrigerator if you want to make some up for future use or if you have some left o er. Store in any glass or refrigerator jar. Candy That Grows On Trees Now Abundant Known as "the candy that grows on trees," dates were cultivated in Mesopo t a m i a (modern Iraq) as far back as 3500 B.C. They grow today in the same (kind of) palms so often mentioned by classic writers and in the Scriptures. Dates came to California with early Spanish, mission aries and have been eaten fresh hereabouts ever since. Season of commercial crop abundance is right now and all the way through the month of May. Dale Bread This is the classic California fresh date bread recipe that is almost a fruit cake. It slices perfectly; is delicious for a sandwich especially when spread with softened cream cheese. It makes a fine bar cookie by cutting the slices into thirds. The dales keep it moist and fresh. 3 cups fresh California dates 2 cups walnut halves 1 cup flour i teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder' 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 eggs, separated Pit dales and leave whole. In mixing bowl, sprinkle dates and nuts with flour, salt and baking powder which have been sifted together: mix well. Then stir in sugar and vanilla and mix well. Beat egg yolks and pour over the mixture. Then beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture. Prepare a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with a lining of waxed paper and then grease it. Pour in butler and bake at a slow tempera ture, 300 degrees, about V hours. Cool before slicing. Peach Supreme For a delicious, easy-to-make dessert, combine sliced fresh or canned peaches with dairy sour cream; add a little confectioners' sugar to taste; flavor with a few drops pure vanilla extract and chill. Serve in pretliesl dishes or sherbet glasses. t I? ' v -v i' . i - - . i-- &-', nrj; I i .in U Service Gives Remedy For 'Salted-Up' Soil College Slation. Tex. - HOT - The Texas Agriculture ex tension service reports grow ing salt content in irrigation water can cause poor soil structure, trapping of water and poisoning of crops if not contained. Symptoms of excess sails in the soil are yellowed leaves, shedding and stunted growth, the service reports. To reme dy "salting-up" of soil, farm ers need to leach the soil, irrigate more often, plant salt tolerant crops and use crop ping practices, the service said. ARTICHOKES New season artichokes are arriving in mar kets at surprisingly small cost. In today's food column, arti chokes are discussed . . . where they came from, how to enjoy them most and a variety of ways to serve them. Makeup of 1963 Oregon Legislature The Medical Roundup by RfSlstrr and Tribune Syndicate, btneritus Consultant in Medtci.m Mayo Clinic Kmerlius Professor ( Medicine Mavo Clinic 1962) ' i .3 Prefrontal Lobotomy Years ago, a Portuguese physician (Dr. Moniz) showed that if an instrument is passed pvjW" ."4 into the brain through a lit tilc hole in the side of ihc ,.J& ( moved up and ; ' r : down so as to r t ;y sever tne i ' fro,lt part o EXV J t he brain Alvarez from the back part, a violent mental patient may become calm and amen able to treatment. For several years there musl have been thousands of these operations performed in mental hospitals. Some promi nent psychiatrists were en thusiastic about the results, while others hated the oper ation. They said that too often it made of the patient a sort of human vegetable, and sometimes an unpleasant one. Some enthusiasts even per formed the operation on peo ple who lived at home, and perhaps complained of a neurosis of much pain. Many psychiatrists did not approve of such operations; they thought that the last state of such patients was sometimes worse than their first one. I do not feel qualified to discuss the pros and cons of this subject because I have had no experience with these patients. I can only say that from much reading of the lit erature on the subject, my im pression is that the operation should be reserved for the hopelessly insane who are dif ficult and dangerous to han dle. Also, I have read that in recent years the operation has been largely given up, per haps partly because drugs have been found that will quiet many of the obstreper ous patients. Virus of German Measles Men in the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare, with its great labora tories in Bcthesda, Md., have announced discovery of the virus of German measles. Ger man measles, of course, is or dinarily not a severe disease, but it has tremendous impor tance because some women who are unfortunate enough to get the disease during the first six weeks of a pregnancy can give birth to a child who is blind or deaf or otherwise handicapped. Hence it is that it would be a fine thing if nil girls babies could be immu nized to German measles - so that, in their adult life, they would never get il. Probably before long this immunizing will be done. The organism is a very peculiar one, different from all others as yet identified. It is still hard to grow the virus in the usual culture material made from monkeys' kidneys. Some readers write to Dr. Alvarez complaining of head noises. He has a booklet on this subject which you may order by sending 25 cents and a self-addressed, stamped en velope to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, The Regis ter and Tribune Syndicate, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. Ask for "Head Noises and Dizziness." CAPITOL SALE Springfield, 111. -IUPH- Illi nois' fifth capitol in Spring field was sold to the local county Sangamon in 186!) when the stale decided to build a larger building. The two-story, domed build ing turned out not to be large enough for the county either so the entire building was lifted in the air and another floor was built in at ground level. The building is now back in the hands of the state, for development as a state shrine.
