Winter enthusiasts flock to Cedar Creek Farm NO HES NOT a member of the Beatles but he is from Liverpool Bemle Phillips teaches cross country skiing at Cedar Creek Farm a recreation centre situated north of A few weeks before Christmas some recipes appeared- in this column mainly because my brain in gear and Ideas escaped me Never has a column been so well received According to the calls and comment that cake and those chocolates were produced all up and down the country I wonder what on earth I been doing all these years writing aboutanimals and country life when It obvious food is what really gets every one excited So with that in mind here a couple more These are very basic things simple to produce inexpensive and light qualltleswe re looking for at this time of year SapnSoap Remember the pot of homemade soup Mother used to keep at the back of the She popped all her bits of lovers in it and kept it simmering It was always hearty on a cold day Actually I don t remember this at nil we have a but I hear tell of such soup in country type books I make a good substitute out of canned consomme seasonings and vegetables Pop a couple of cans of soup in a pot add two cans water and chop up any vegetables you have in the ridge plus some frozen mixed veg All aorta of things can go in stewed tomatoes or fresh mushrooms onions celery cabbage shredded carrot chunks turnip strips green beans It looks mora homey If the vegetables are cut in large diagonal slices Season with parsley pepper a little salt taste It as it simmers and anything else your little heart desires This soup is only about calories a cup if you use low calorie vegetables macaroni along nicely These are a northern relative of the Cornish and I think I Invented them If I Hake a pastry with four cups flour two cups shortening and one cup water Flavour the pastry with salt chives parsley and cheese fat chopped browned onions and anything else you have in those extra margarine containers in the fridge Add a can of soup veg Juice or water and simmer for a while with a small handful of salt a tablespoon a teaspoon of pepper a little garlic powder or rosemary Thicken the sauce with cornstarch it should be quite thick and let the filling cool while you chill the pastry Go clean the barn or something until you re ready to make the pasties Roll the pastry out and cut into circles I use one of those bandy margarine containers for that what would we ever do without them Place a dollop of cooled filling on circle and fold over pinch edges to make a half moon shaped turnover Prick with fork and bake at degreeji until brown These may be frozen very satisfactorily and reheated at by Jennifer Cedar Creek Farm north of Is growing by leaps and bounds Rick and Donna Leaning originators of the educational
