From our kitchen to yours By T.A.-ghost writer Heavenly Devine 1 Well, it's taken four years, but here it is back again. Happy birthday to all of you who were born on February 29. It must be difficult to understand when you are young only being able to actually cele- brate your birthday on your birthday every fourth year, however at my age I think it would be just WONDERFUL! I remember a lady living down the street from us as I was grow- ing up, her birthday was on February 29 and although I knew she looked as old as my grandmother, she would only admit to being a quarter of her age. She said if she was going to be cheated out of her birthdays, she was going to cheat on the years. Because the calendar year is only 365 days and the solar year (the length of time it takes for the earth to, mala a complete circuit around the sun) is 365 days five hours and 48 minutes, we have to add an extra day eyery, four/years to make up the difference between the calend4r and solar years. Because, if this was done every four years, the average calendar year would be 11 minutes, 14 seconds too long. The extra day is not added to centuries unless they are divisible by 400. Thankfully Pope Gregory got this all figured out in 1582. Back then he only had to decree that there would bc ten days dropped from October that year to bring everything back to rights with the equinox. I would hate to thin): how many con- ferences, committees and sub-conimittees would have to sit, how many white papers, green papers and save ' the trees pa- pers would have to be written and how many referenda would have to be put before the people if we had to do our catching up now! 1 wont if they are called leap years -because the days of the week, rather than moving along by just one day, after March 1, leap ahead two days. So that since April 1, 1991, was a Mon- day, this year, instead of being a Tuesday, it becomes a Wednesday. It's hard to find a lead in from leap year to a recipe. I thought of frogs legs as a leaping subject, but since I have neither cooked nor eaten those, I didn't feel I could use them and since my older daughter fell into a noisy fit, when I even mentioned them, let s go from leap year to frogs legs to chicken legs or any sort of chicken pieces you like. Curried Chicken Grease the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Layer the bottom of the pan with raw fresh vegetables. We like broccoli and carrots, but squash might be nice too. Don't expect crisp vegetables when they are cooked like this but they taste delicious. Place skinned chicken on top of this. Mix: 2 cans Cream of Chicken soup 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp. curry powder (or to taste) Pour this over the chicken and vegetables. Top with shred- ded old cheese and bread crumbs if desired. Cover (1 forgot to tell someone this and things didn't tum out very well) and cook for 1-2 hours at 375° (or until chicken is done). You can take the lid off for the last little while to brown things up a bit. Serve with rice and chutney.
