LAUNDROMAT ""STEWART diit.wi "inner .i5s SAye. NM'JBrOM) ' "!& BY JEANNE LESSEM New York -ftW- A French chef at a New Orleans hotel defines Creole cuisine as cooking French the Spanish way a la Louisi a ne. He might also have men tioned A f r i- can. North v American In f dian, and La- . i , tin American jeinnt Laicm influences, in cluding the Aztec and Inca Indian tribes. I asked, by letter, Rene Ni colas, chef of the Roosevelt hotel. New Orleans, the Or leans Parish home demon stration office, and Mrs, Helen Hughes about the origins and elements of this famous re gional cuisine. Credits Negro ' Mrs. Hughes, home service director for an advertising agency, wrote that she credits Negroes for much of the crea tivity in Creole cookery from its early days of the 18th cen tury to the present. "They do much with little with wild game, seafood, or hot sausage (chauricc), plus a few vegatables - collards, cab bage, sweet peppers, eggplant, mustards greens, parsely, hot pepper, green onions and tops, garlic, squash, pumpkin and mirliton, a native Louisiana squash," she said. The home demonstration of fice said the French-Canadian housekeeper for Louisiana's first governor was the f irnt teacher of Creole cookery. At the governor's request, Ma dame Langlois conducted in formal classes after irate Frenchborn housewives, tried of cooking and eating corn, called on the governor to de mand wheat. Indian Methods Madame Langlois showed them how to prepare corn pal atably, using Indian methods to make cornmeal, cornbread, hominy and grits. She also taught them to use file (pro nounced fee-lay), the dried, powered sassafras leaves used by Choctaws to season and thicken gumbos, or stews. She showed them how to cook squirrel, bake fish with savory herbs, make citrus fruit vinegar, and crystallize wild fruit. Another Creole basic, adopt ed from the French, is the roux, equal amounts of fat and flour blended to thicken sauces and gravies. A Creole roux usually is made with fresh drippings instead of but ter, said chef Nicholes, and cooked to a chestnut brown to thicken, color and flavor highly - seasoned sauces and gravies. Roux is used in everything from the familiar chicken fric assee and shrimp jambalaya, a tomato-flavored stew, to the Patterned Hose British Fad London - IUPI) - An Ameri can fad which flopped here four years ago is back today at the height of fashion-stockings with patterns. Known as "textured" in the hosiery trade, the nylon stock ings come in diamond and lacy patterns. They are sell ing as fast as they come off the production line. But the revival Is said to be due to fashion influence from the continent, and not the United States. "The style came in from America four years ago but died away," explained Mrs. Ann Ford, marketing director for a big British hnttpry com pany. "Now it is with us again be cause of the continental influ ence in textured hose, which is more important than the U. S. Influence. "Britain imported a lot of Italian textured stockings and they sold so well that now they are made here." She said the craze for the stockings stems from "the novelty and the way they draw attention to legs. They are attractive and nice for young people." isine less well known red beans and rice. Red Beans and Rice The red beans and rice com bination is believed to be of Latin American origin. In a heavy-bottomed pot, saute three-fourth pound of ham shank with bone, or one-half pound of pickled pork or ba con, until two tablespoons of fat are rendered. Remove meat from pan. Stir in two tablespoons flour. Cook until roux is dark brown, stirring constantly. Add three cups of water, one cup of dried red kidney beans, washed, one cup of chopped onion, four garlic cloves, chop ped, and one bay leaf. Re turn meat to pot. Cover tightly. Simmer two hours, stirring occasionally. Salt to 'uiste and simmer one hour more, stirring often. Serve on cooked rice. Top with meat and garnish with one half cup of minced fresh par sley. Serves four. Sweetened condensed milk is miik made by evaporating a mixture of whole milk and sugar. It differs from unsweet ened evaporated milk in that sugar is added. The final prod uct contains from 40 to 45 per cent sugar. It is used chiefly for desserts. Pasteurized milk is milk which has been heated to kill any harmful bacteria. Milk may be pasteurized by one of two methods: (1) heated to at least 145 degrees F. and held for at least 30 minutes or (2) heated to at least 161 degrees F. and held for at least 15 seconds. Milk pasteurized by either process is cooled imme diately to 50 degrees F. or lower. 'jy-iCS'iJEEIII in: i:vy:ii:KMm:i.;ii NOW!

Dry Coin-Operated Cleaning Advances Seen Homemakers can look for ward to more coin-operated dry cleaning establishments and faster dry cleaning at more convenient locations in the future, according to Ore gon State university home economists. In the two years that these machines have been available, 4,800 do-it-yourself dry clean ing shops have been establish ed with anywhere from 2 to 32 machines each. More are appearing each day. Some of the machines are located in commercial cleaning shops, and others are combined with automatic laundry centers. What's ahead in coin-operated dry cleaning? Bernice Strawn, OSU home management specialist, re ports USDA outlook informa tion which suggests that a shorter dry cleaning cycle may be generally available before long as the result of a newly-developed dry cleaning solvent. This solvent can re duce the dry cleaning cycle from 15 to 20 minutes because it evaporates very rapidly at room temperature. Satisfactory The new solvent, sold under the name Valclcne, contains a detergent, a fabric condition er, and an anti-static agent, and is said to minimize toil depositing and fabric shrink age. Miss Strawn says that reports on its action on fibers, fabrics, colors and finishes have been satisfactory. Val clene has also been success fully used on a test basis on plastics, adhcslves and rub bers which are used to make up many garments. Before this faster dry cleaning can become generally available, machines have to be develop ed that will accommodate it, however. Improvements arc also be ing made in existing dry cleaning machines which use "perc," tne most commonly used cleaning solvent. Cycles for these machines can be shortened by about 20 minutes through new developments in the equipment. Other innovations to look for are improved spotting service, shorter drying time, and more pressing services. Present cost of coin-operated machines rules out home units in the near future, Miss Strawn notes. ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY Jf I DOWNTOWN ... MEDFORD M0N.
