Homemakers At Mexican Fiesta Over 120 McHenry County Homemakers Extension association members and guests enjoyed the recent Mexican Fiesta at the Farm Bureau auditorium. Highlights of the program included a pinata and how to make one by Mr. and Mrs. R. Carrington, an explanation of Mexican foods by Miss Hilda Alejandro and a film, "Mexico, Land of Color and Contrast." Mrs. J. Rosulek took everyone on a very enjoyable trip through Mexico with her slides. • Foods to try included tamales (made by Mrs. E. Yanez), tacos, guacamole dip, bunuelos, mocha cakes, Mexican cinnamon cookies, Mexican coffee and fruit punch. There was a great variety of Mexican artifacts and clothing on display. Tips For The Homemaker Poor teeth need not limit the elderly to a diet of soft foods that are bland in color and appetite appeal. A better solution is to change the preparation of the food, not the choices of food, says Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois Extension foods and nutrition specialist. Cube, chop or grind foods that are difficult to chew. Let your knife do a big part of the work for your teeth. Here are some suggestions in preparing foods from each of the Basic Four food groups that make up a balanced diet. Add small pieces of meat or chicken to a white sauce or combine them with potatoes, peas, rice or noodles. Fish is a high-quality, easy-to-chew protein food whether it is baked, broiled, fried or used in chowders or in creamed dishes. American cheese is easy to eat if cut in small pieces or melted. Make a cheese sauce and pour it over toast cubes or a favorite vegetable or make a cheese omelet or souffle. Another high-protein food is cottage cheese. Instead of eating it plain, try it with salad dressing or canned fruit. Eggs can be cooked in a variety of ways without worrying about chewing problems. For extra flavor, add crisp bacon chopped fine. Because the elderly frequenUy neglect milk in their diet, be sure to include it in cooking. Use it in soups, creamed and scalloped dishes, puddings, custards or beverages. If plain milk is unacceptable as a drink, add some chocolate or fruit flavoring. If fruit and vegetables cause eating problems, cook them and then chop, mash or strain them if need be. The canned vegetables and other foods chopped or ground for young children are also worth trying. Add some seasonings to make them more appealing to adult tastes. Keep in mind that most canned fruits are softer than fresh ones. Today's market offers a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices, canned and frozen, to provide needed vitamins and minerals for any well-balanced diet. Most cooked cereals are relatively easy to chew and digest. To eliminate possible problems when serving dry cereals, soak them with milk. To combine fruit and bread choices, pour crushed fruit and juice or cream over pancakes, toast or shortcake. For dessert, plain or whipped gelatin, junket, ice cream, custards, puddings and fruit are all easy-to-chew choices. For more information about food for the elderly, contact Pat Frank, McHenry county Ex­ tension adviser, for a copy of the USDA Home and Garden Bulletin, "Food Guide for Older Folks." ORGAN RECITAL An organ recital entitled "Four Pros and Pipes" will be presented Sunday, March 25, at 4 p.m. at Grace Episcopal church, 924 Lake street, Oak Park. The performing artists are Judith Truitt, organist of Church of the Transfiguration, Palos Park; William Murray, Church of the Mediator, Chicago; Dr. RobertLodine, St. Chrysostom's, Chicago; B. Lynn Hebert, Cathedral Church of St. James. Tickets may be obtained at the door or at McHenry Episcopal church. PATRICIA KLAPPERICH ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. John B. Klapperich of Ringwood an­ nounce the engagement of their daugher, Patricia, to Edward J. Wagner of Sterling, 111. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wagner of Lakemoor.

Changing Woman ON HONOR ROLL Included in the Greenville college (Illinois) scholastic honor roll for the first semester of the 1972-83 academic year is Sally Dresdow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dresdow, 519 South Crystal Lake road. Sally is a junior majoring in English.

ON COOKBOOKS Stealing in the literary business is generally not too easy. • Right away, somebody knows what you're up to when you start a sentence. "Fourscore and seven years ago..." There IS one area of the literary business - if you consider it literary ~ where plagiarism is simple. It's the cookbook field. Take a recipe from any famous cookbook. Add half a teaspoon of salt instead of a quarter teaspoon of salt. The recipe is yours or your dearly d e p a r t e d g r a n d ­ mother's... whichever will sell the cookbook. If you've had the feeling, reading a number of current cook books, that when you've read one you've read them all, most times it's true. Cooking potatoes today isn't much different from cooking potatoes several centuries ago, but recipes for potatoes go on and on. In several thousand years of cooking potatoes, there's bound to be a little duplication. Since cookbook ownership can be a treasure of ideas or a worthless stack of pages, perhaps my personal guide to buying cookbooks will help. First of all, under pain of nausea, we never buy a cook­ book written by an am­ bassador's wife. We wouldn't buy a cookbook written by an ambassador's husband, either, if there were any. It matters little whether the author is a Phi Beta Kappa key holder. It takes more than a year to learn to eat the native food without throwing up, much less explaining all about it in cookbook form. Second, we never buy those narrow, one-subject cookbooks purporting to teach you three thousand ways to do things with radishes. If there are three thousand ways to do things with radishes, we don't want to know. Neither do we go for the extreme generalist any more than the narrow specialist. Any cooking encyclopedia which includes the complete history of food, what the generals ate in the Crimean War, plus three thousand ways of preparing radishes, is not for us. Right away, we think there's something wrong with a book entitled, "All About Chinese Cooking," by Mary Lee Wood, or "Secrets of Jewish Cooking" by Fanny McClung. Somehow the names should match the bodes. Although we love food photography, we don't buy cookbooks which give six pages of strawberries and whipped cream in living color. It looks good, but it's about as useful as nnonnciiq. . . COCKTAIL HOUR! WED-FRI 4:30-6:30PM ALL COCKTAILS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC VFW POST 4600 Route 120 East Of Bridge a full chapter on how to make peanut butter and jelly sand­ wiches. What we do go for in a big way, anywhere and anytime we are fortunate enough to find them, are cookbooks written by the combined sewing circle or ladies auxiliary of any religious group. We don't care if the books are etched in daisies and painfully lettered by third grade students - we buy them. Deep in those badly written recipes are gems by people who have spent their lives cooking. We have found these books from Nantucket to the Florida Keys, from the Pennsylvania Dutch country to the West Virginia hills. Some are ten pages of bad Xeroxing and staples. Only the contents are great. We wouldn't trade these treasures for all the fluff put out by Madison avenue ad people whose talents for selling are superb. But what they don't know is how to cook. Mary Baker Earns School Honors At Lisle Mary G. Baker, 2510 S. Chestnut drive, Wonder Lake, was among 137 students who earned second honors on the Dean's list at Illinois Benedictine college of Lisle for the fall semester. Second honors is defined by the college as a grade average of between 3.5 and 3.9 on a grading system of which 4.0, is a perfect score. Miss Baker, a senior elementary education major, is a graduate of St. Scholastica academy, Chicago. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack C. Baker.
