The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1956-09-27, Page 6* t Pay* 4 Th* Tirnes-Advocate, September 1954 District's Champion Cook Never Skimps Ingredients By MRS E, S. STEINER To make a real success of any thing you do, you must enjoy doing it* If we needed any proof of that theory, we got it when we called on Mrs. Aimer Pass- more last week to present her with the rose bowl trophy, do nated by the Timcs-Advocate, for competition in the baking lection of Exeter’s fall fair. Mrs. Passmore gave credit to two people for her interest in baking. Her mother, Mrs. Wel lington Haist, believed in teach ing her daughters the art of cooking while they were young. Then she was fortunate in having as her mother-in-law, another good cook, Mrs. Percy Pass- more.Mr. and Mrs. Aimer Passmore lived with his parents for a cou ple of months after their mar riage until their own home was remodeled. Mrs. Passmore, sen ior, always advised her daughter- j in-law not to cut down on the m- | gradients when baking. The best i of ingredients bring the best of: results was her theory and our “champion” cook has made it hers too. Likes To Bake Cakes Cake baking is what she most enjoys and we could almost say angel cakes are her speciality. For the three years she has com peted at our local fair her angel cake has won the red ribbon. She. has also won first prize at Kirk-j ton fair for her cake. Mrs. Passmore’s kitchen is bright and cheery. An automa tic mixer is one piece of kitchen equipment she wouldn’t want to part with. “There are many good cooks i in this community,” Mrs., Pass- more said. She would like to see many more young women enter their baking at the fair. She has heard some young mo thers say they haven’t time for it but the Passmore children, David, Dennis and Darlene haven’t kept her from getting I hex* exhibits ready- She admits some of her baking was done after they had gone to bed the night before the fair. Increasing the prize money for the baking might attract more entries', Mrs. Passmore thinks and we agree with her. One dollar isn’t enough to pay, es pecially for cakes for the in gredients, particularly in an angel cake, would cost more than that. Sister U Runner-Up Mrs. Passmore’s sister, Mrs. Lloyd Jones, was runner-up for the trophy which leads us to thinks their early training at home has had a great deal to do with their cooking skill. There was only one disappoint ing feature of our visit to Mrs. Passmore’s home. e She had made a cake that morning and planned to serve cake and tea to' Gram’ and the editor of The Times-Advocate. And wouldn’t you know, the editor had to hur* i ry to another fair in the district {and couldn’t wait for a piece of that tempting cake with lots of fluffy icing dotted with cherries. I heard him say later that he could see Gram’s mouth water ing as she gazed at the cake. We didn’t know it showed so plainly—but it’s true! The disappointing feature of the competition for the trophy was the small number of en trants. We have heard several reasons for it, just indirectly. We would be glad if some of those who did not enter the con test would tell us their reason for not competing for it would Dot’s Beauty Shoppe (South of Jack Smith Jeweller) Naturelie Permanent Waving Lustron Cold Wave Dorethy G.

M. SOUTHCOTT ■ I am wearing qn English pink rose on my coat lapel today. As we journeyed ' from Edin burgh to Leeds we had lunch at Newcastle at the Royal Turk Head Hotel. It wasn’t the Turk’s head that was served on a plat ter but a whole lamb carcass, roasted, carved and sliced to perfection. The waiter took the platter around to each table and soon there was very little meat left on the carcass. After lunch we had a few min utes to spare and one of. the ladies of our bus found a market and bought long stemmed pink roses for seven cents each. She gave each one of us a rose. Melve is the “after-dinner mint man,” having stocked • up on Scotch mints in Edinburgh, He passes them out to each one as their “after meal pill.” One of the ladies in our bus purchased a*m,outh organ today. Her husband wanted her to bring one from home but she said “No, I'll have to play all the time.” She plays very well and we’ve been singing as we go, Flowers are blooming in pro fusion in England and Scotland., Their colors are much more viv id than ours and their growth so luxuriant. Almost every build ing we enter - has huge vases filled with, gladioli, dahlias, as ters and chrysanthemums. No matter, how close the houses are together each has a handerchief plot of garden surrounded by a hedge. It is surprising how many vegetables and now many flowers can be grown in such a tiny yard.
