This coming week-end is definite­ ly associated with, friendly gather­ ings. Congenial folks throughout Canada gather together in large and small groups to celebrate the end of the old year and the begin­ ning of a new, The entire week-end is often one of “open house"—for adults, for young folk home from school and for soldiers, sailors and airmen home on leave. Our entertaining won’t be elabor­ ate—hut it will be as enjoyable as in other years. Resolve to start the new year by serving foods that can be easily pared without waste.

Let stand 30 minutes., ice water to make 5 quarts, cherries and charged water serve immediately from punch During the festive week-end there will be numerous occassions when you will wish to serve cake— not the rich Christmas cake but a cake made with a sponge cake or butter cake batter, artistically frosted and garnished with season­ able decorations. The younger set will praise you for their favorite cake, especially with icing on, to serve the “gang" who may come in. A standard layer cake with thick cranberry sauce between the layers will be a surprise. 2. Make the Velvet Cake recipe, but flavor it with U teaspoon flavoring and use 1 cup sugar and J cup finely crushed peppermint— stick candy. 3. For a special frosting make Orange Frosting; omit corn syrup and substitute 3 tablespoons orange juice for .3 tablespoons water in recipe. Flavor with | teaspoon orange rind and 2 drops of almond instead of vanilla. Or try Burnt Sugar Frosting substituting 2 tablespoons carmel- ized sugar syrup for vanilla. For a super splurge use the Seven-Minute Frosting and then pour over chocolate syrup made by melting together two unsweetened chocolate spoons butter and vanilla. 2 tablespoons shortening, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, 3 eggs, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 5 teaspoon nut­ meg, tract, Beat add the the melted baking powder, with one cup of flour and stir into first mixture, alternating with the milk. Add lemon flavoring and just enough flour to make a soft dough which can be handled. Roll out three-fourths inch thick on a lightly floured board. A soft dough makes light, tender doughnuts when cooked. Fry in deep fat (360- 375 degrees) and drain on unglazed paper.
