Efficient Service ' Mobile office • Immediate Payment ' 2 Auctioneers it is Our Pleasure To Serio You Pipe e Times -Advocate, March 4, 1992 Ir From our kitchen to yours By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine This time of year can be many different things to many different people. To- day is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, in many Christian Churches. ' The term Lent comes from the old Etnglitth word "lenc- ten" meaning springtime. It is a time of fasting, per- forming penance and preparation for Easter. Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, a day in many countries set aside for feasting and parades. The celebration of Mardi Gras, fat Tuesday, began in Paris, France, where a fat ox was led through the streets. It is the end of along carnival season which begins January 6. in New Or- leans, during the week before Mardi Gras, people parade through the streets in masks and fancy dress, there are street parades, balls and private parties for a week before the final Mardi Gras parade, on Shrove Tuesday. In Canada, Quebecers celebrate Camaval, a time of parades, balls and merrymaking. There are canoe races across the SL Lawrence and ice sculp- turing. All ways of celebrating in preparation for the 40 days of self-denial. In England, Shrove Tuesday is called Pancake Day, and many school children throughout this area were served those for lunch yesterday. We have two favourite pancake recipes in our home, one for traditional breakfast pancakes and one for crepes. which are sometimes the favourite breakfast food of one of our daughters. Pancakes Sift and measure 1 1R cups flour Resift with 1 tsp salt 3 tbsp sugar 1 3/4 tsp baking powder Beat lightly 1 or 2 eggs (I usually use two but it's not necessary) Add them to 3 tbsp melted butter 1 to 1 1/4 cups milk Add these to the dry ingredients and mix. Don't worry if there are few lumps, they won't hurt anything. Drop onto a hot griddle and tum when there are bubbles on the top. Serve with lots of Ontario Maple Syrup. These are also good with a few blueberries or raspberries added to the batter. m Crepes Beat together 1 cup flour 1 cup milk 2 eggs Pour a small amount, into a frying pan (in our house prefer- ably non-stick) and swirl it around to cover the pan bottom. Tum them when the top looks dry. It will only `take a short time. Sprinkle these with sugar, pour a little lemon juice over them, roll them up and enjoy! They are good with jam or cin- namon sugar. I DIAMONDS to hold meeting in Exeter EXETER - Physically challenged people from Huron County are invited to attend a general membership meeting in Exeter on Saturday, March 14. The meeting of DIAMONDS begins at 10 a.m. and will be held at the Lions Youth Centre on John Street. This is a self help group for the physically challenged which was first es- tablished in November. According to Bev Brown, a community development worker with the Huron County Health Unit, there were 50 people at the first meeting. Of those, 18 volunteered to be on the executive or various meetings. At the meetings, there is entertainment, a light lunch as well as business to take care of. "This is a fun group and that's what they want," said Brown. Ron Airdrie who is a co -chairperson along with Glen McLachlan, said the group is working on lobbying for improved transportation and better accessibility to public buildings for the handicapped. "We got started as a self-help group for the handicapped. A lot of people can't get out," said Airdrie. week 238-2818 1 114 miles south of Grand Bond on h 441 • • I Zurich arena nut Sunday • Skaters prepare for weekend Carnival By Carmel Sweeney ZURICH - The Zurich and Area Figure Skating Club is busy getting its costumes and special music ready for the big event of its year - the annual skating carnival will be held at the Zurich arena on Sunday March 15, starting at 2 p.m. Special guest skaters will be Tina Muur and Cory Watson.
