From our
kitchen to yours
By T.A. ghost litter Heavenly Devine
isn't choice and personal
taste a wonderful thing.
Without it what a dull old
world we would live in.
Walklgg down Main
-Street and looking -in all of
the shop windows gives
you some idea of what I
am talking about. The dif-
ferent styles and colours of
clothes and shoes is amazing. Watching people walk down the
street is also a lesson in choice and personal taste in wearing
apparel and hair styles. The restaurants also try to cater to dif-
ferent taws and nis, fromsiuick meals to full relaxed din-
ing. Walking the aisles of our grocery stores can't help but
show how our tastes differ. More and more fresh produce.in
more and more varieties is appearing. Jars of pickles and jams,
tins of vegetables and fruit, packets of rice and pasta dishes are
all arrayed to .catchour imaginations and tempt our palates.
Last week I found an old copy of Good Hqusekeeping and in
it there was a recipe for "the world's best brownies". I always
thought that I already had that recipe. My family always fin-
ished up the ones I made in short order! Well, there was only
one thing to do - The Great Brownie Bake Off.
I made up both recipes, being especially careful that I used
the same measuring cups and ingredients. The only thing that I
changed was that 1 didn't add any nuts to either recipe because
two of my children don't like them that way. We made a deci-
sion here at home and then 1 struck out with the rest of the
brownies and had a blind taste test at the TA. I have been vin-
dicated! My brownies did come out on top, but it was a close
race. Obviously personal taste is so important and in the case
of my family maybe just familiarity. However, here are the
two recipes if you want to try them.
Brownies
Melt in a double boiler (I use the microwave) and cool:
12 cup butter
4 oz. chocolate (4 unsweetened squares)
Beat:
4 (at room temperature) eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
Add gradually and continue to beat:
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine by hand the chocolate mixture and the eggs and be-
fore they are completely blended add:
1 cup sifted flour
Stir in gently
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Bake at 3500 in 9x13 greased and floured pan, about 25 min-
utes.
Good Housekeeping Fudge Brownies
Melt over low heat, stirring frequently:
1 cup margarine or butter
6 1 -ounce squares unsweetened ch000late
Remove from heat and with wooden spoon beat in until well
blended:
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
Stir in:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
Spread batter evenly in a 9x9, greased pan and bake 45-50
minutes at 350°.

Come on
lighten up
By Ray Lids
EXETER - Chances we you may
have gotten a chuckle this week by
spying any number of individuals
sporting bright, rod, foam noses.
During Parent and Tot Skadng, in-
dividuals at the South Huron Rec-
reation Centre sure did Thursday
morning, and hopefully it left them
feeling a little better.
Lighten Up Canada is a yearly
event quickly sweeping the nation.
February 6 was proclaimed Lighten
Up Day, and its sole purpose is to
make people happy. The trend ac-
tually began in England about five
years ago, and has since been
adopted by several small towns
across Ontario such as Acton.
"It's really just a Away to get rid of
the winter blahs," said Julie God-
win, who is trying to establish the
same sort of idea in Exeter. "1 saw
a segment on television about Ac-
ton and figured, now why couldn't
we cheer up some people right here
is Exeter?"
According to Godwin, other par-
ticipating regions have a lot of fun
with the silly festivities and every-
one participates. For next year she
is hoping to get local merchants in-
volved to help boost morale. '
The concept is relatively simple
and bears little expense. Partici-
pants simply don red, foam noses
and continue along their daily rou-
tines hoping to bring onlookers a
smite.
"Given today's economy, every-
one could use a little cheering up,"
agreed Bonny Brown, one of this
year's participants. "Everyone who
saw us with these funny looking
noses got a good chuckle, and that's
what it is all about."
So go ahead Exeter. Lighten up.
