ago. I have some of their books which
include Hungarian Folk Designs for
Embroiderers and Craftsmen. Quilters
would be interested in some of the
pattern books and fans of needlework
watch for Dover books that are full of
iron -on transfer patterns.
In the cooking area there was an
interesting colouring/cook book for
children published by Dover. It was
written by Evelyn Johnson, and
illustrated by Chris Santoro. The
recipes included some of the simpler
ones, like preparing dips for crudite,
which was explained as the French
term for raw vegetables. I tried one of
their no -bake cookie recipes, and hope
your youngsters enjoy making it.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
8 cup saucepan
waxed paper
1/2 cup shortening (butter or
margarine)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
3 cups uncooked oatmeal
Combine the first three ingredients
over low heat until shortening melts
and bubbles appear on the top of the
mixture to show it has come to a boil.
Boil 2 minutes. Tun off heat and
remove pan from the stove. Add
vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal. Stir
well, drop teaspoonfuls on waxed
paper, and allow to cool.
The Huron County Museum also
stocks a few bird books, as well as
some colouring books, to get the
younger set interested in birding.
If you are shopping for a gardener,
check out the local garden centres for
books, or seeds and bulbs, like
amaryllis, to help your gardener make
it through the cold winter.
Have a Merry Christmas and I
wish you and yours oodles of time to
enjoy the season and each other.0
