Mam- l16th-l7th-l8th with two shows ation. moth 3-ring Circus, which comes daily, under the sponsorship of Hello Homemakers! We fre- quently slur over the word 'spar- agus when we should say, Aye, it's asparagus! Asparagus headý the list of our Ontario fresh vegý etables. Its tender stalks shoot up every morning as if to remind us to use them often while the season iasts. We shouid too. AI- though ît's good as a fresh-boiled vegetable, there are variations to make asparagus a treat every day for a month. Cream sauces with different additions each tîme are the best toppings ... grated cheese hard-cooked eggs, parsley, nuts, mushrooms, are some suggestions. And the way in which this good food is served makes a difference -soup, casserole, timbales, etc. Cream Asparagus Soup Two tablespoons baking fat, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons of sait, pepper, 1 tablespoon grated onion,. 3 cups milk (haîf milk and haîf asparagus liquid), 2 cups as- paragus stalks, cooked. Heat milk in double boiler; mix flour to a smooth paste and stir in- to hot milk. Stir in fat and sea- sonings and cook until sauce thickens (about 15 minutes). Add 11/2 cups of asparagus put through a sieve, fold in remaining 1/2 cup stalks and heat thoroughiy. Six servings. Asparagus and Egg Casserole Two tablespoons baking fat, 3 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon sait, pepper, l12 cups milk, 3 hard- cooked eggs, 21/2 cups cooked as- paragus in bottomn of greased cas- serole, pour over this part of creamn sauce, add a layer of sliced eggs and repeat until casserole is full. Top with bread crumbs. Heat in electric oven of 350 de- grees for 20 minutes. Five serv- ings. Timbales of Asparagus Four cups diced cooked aspara- *gus, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 table- *spoons flour, 1/ teaspoon sait, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon on- iion juice, 2 egg whites, beaten stiff. *Put asparagus through a sieve and add enough milk to, make ione pint. Make a sauce of butter, flour, sait, pepper and %/ cup as- *paragus liquid. Stir in the above *puree. Foid in egg whites, pour into greased mouids and steam i20 minutes-or oven poach. Serve with egg sauce. Take a Tip 1.~ Cook a littie grated onion with slîced carrots and just be- ifore serving add a tablespoon of orange juice. I2. Small cooked carrots may be dipped in beaten eggs, then in i cushd crnflakes and browned in a small amount of fat. Pieces of cooked parsnips respond well *to this treatment too. 3. Sait and pepper are not the ionly vegetabie seasonings. Try a dash of nutmeg with turnips, cloves with beets, a pinch of thyme or savory in a minced veg- etable dish, mint with carrots or iparzley with peas. 4. Some like to brown the sliced onion before adding it to the stock Iand it does give a richer flavour and'colour. i The Question Box Mrs. C. F. asks for Mock Mapie, iButter recipe: Mock Mapie Butter Use a smooth saucepan or fry- ing pan. Meit 1/4, cup of brown sugar wîth 2 tabiespoons of but- ter, but do not aiiow the mixture to burn. When melted, add 1 %/1 cups of water and 1-3 cup brown sugar. Cook over a moderate heat until the sugar is dissoived. Do not allow the mixture to boil. In a second saucepan, cook to- gether 4 level tabiespoons of but- ter and 6 level tablespoons of bread flour-until mixture is bubbiing. Allow it to cook for a minute or two, stirring constant- ly, but do not aiiow it to brown. Now add the syrup mixture and a few grains of sait. and stir con- stantly to prevent iumping. Bring to boiling point and cook until the mixture is smooth and thick, then add 2 slightly beaten egg yolks and cook for 2 mn-n utes longer. Remove from the fire, and .when the mixture is ai- most cold add 1-3 teaspoon of ma- pie flavoring. This makes a nu- tritious spread for children's bread and they usually enjoy it. To make it even more nourish- ing, milk, instead of water can be used, in which case the mix- ture must be watched very care- fully to avoid burning it. This mixture can also be used as a filling for butterscotch pie and for plain cake filling. Mrs. A. E. S. says: That she us- es one-third as much flour as su- gar to make a cake frosting and finds the frosting is smoother than one made entirely of sugar. Mrs. J. Me. says: That her hus- band's favorite sandwich filling is made of thickened left-over stew put through the grinder. This is a hearty filling as a spread, using medium sliced bread. Mrs. D. E. says: Grate off the lemon and orange rind before the juice is reamed out. Wrap in a piece of wax paper and use later to flavor puddings, biscuits and breads inexpensively. 1 9: * * Anne Aflan invites you to write to her c/o The Canadian States- man.

Different races do not clash so THURSDAY, MAY lOth, 1941 MEAT CONSUMPTION Total civilian consumption of the various kinds of meat in Can- ada in 1945 is estiniated at 136.5 pounds per head of population. This is about 18 pounds- greater than the average pre-war con- sumption, 1935-39. However, the 1945 meats consUmption is 13.3 pounds less per head than in 1944. Nearly ail this reduction is at- tributable to a decline in pork consumption which for 1945 is es- timated at 10.6 pounds lower than the 1944 consumption of 61.4 pounds per head of population. Consumption of lard in 1945, esti- mated aÏ 5.9 pounds per head (ci- vilian), is 2.4 pounds less than the 1944 estimate, but it is two pounds highier than the pre-war average of 3.9 pounds, 1935-39, per head of population per an- num. Fireplaces for home heating have an efficiency of only about 10 per cent, so their value is prin- cipally in the cheerful atmosphere they create. OSHAWA Free Parklnwr Phone 1011 THURS. - FR1. - SAT.
