Home My WebLink AboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-09-05, Page 18ber S, 1W4— COOKING CORNER od career chsen over Danish wedding By SUSAN DELIGHT Miss Ester Rasmussen did not follow in the footsteps of most other young women in Gudbjerg, Denmark, for she chose a career rather than marriage to a young man of the village. This career eventually led Miss Rasmussen to the United States. "Im's glad I chose a career -- I love my work and I love America," Mist Rasmussen said. Home economics director for the West Division, Denmark Cheese ssoclation, Miss Rasmussen spends part of her time developing recipes at a test kitchen in Concord, near San Francisco, and the rest of the time traveling around the country promoting Danish cheese. "When I first came to this country I was surprised at how many salads you served here," she said. "We do not serve so many salads in Den- mark. But, they are beginning to serve more there — the last time I visited my family in Denmark I noticed this." • Though she loves this coun- try, the redheaded Dane is not sure she would consider marriage to an American. ",I say that now, but I might change my mind sometime in the future," she admitted smiling. When she°entertains Ameri- cans in her home,' Miss Ras- mussen says •she always serves European -type food. "But, when I entertain visi- tors from my homeland, I 'try to give them foods ' of this country," she said. She also 'directs the pro- grams of the Karoline Girls who help • promote Dann cheese in this'country. t`The Karoline Girls are trained in Denmark to be .Ogoodwill ambassadors for Danish cheese — they help with taste -testing programs and demonstrations in super- markets and at special civic events," she explained. "They are stationed all over 'the world." The best-known Danish cheeses in this country are Esrorn (Danish Port Salut), Havarti (Danish Til,sit), Samir sae, Danbo, Tybo and Dana- blu (Danish Blue), Miss Ras- mussen said Miss Rasmussen suggests that when storing cheese it should be covered and stored in a cool place. Before storing in refrigerator, wrap the cheese in foil, plastic wrap or an airtight container. "Mold is harmless," she said. "Just scrape it off." One of Miss Rasmussen'( favorite recipes is Hamburg- ers with Ost (cheese), pre- pared the Danish way, and Danablu Dip.

For an emergency medi- cation, the morning -after pills seem to have as definite place. Several college campus series have been run in the United States and in Canada and there have been no known pregnancies. Of course, there is no way to be sure how runny pregnancies would have been there in the first place, but there surely would have been a few. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) and other estrogenic hor- mones were used. When the DES ( the synthetic estrogen implicated in cancer found in a few young women whose mothers took it after 1945 to prevent spontaneous .abor- tions) was taken, the college women were told and under- stood that, if they were preg- ESTER RASMUSSEN nant and heir pregnanciee continued, they would have to get abortions induced in the usual way. Other they might deliver affected girl babies. It ought to be remembered that this birth control tech- nique IS a one-time thing and cannot be used after every sexual intercourse. Q. I recently went to a self- help group and was given an article to read about the birth stool used for deliveries in the Middle Ages. The author said the doctors, all male, dis- carded this stool because they didn't want to kneel in front of women and demean them- selves. Is this' true? A. I don't know when the first doctor put a woman up onto a table for delivery, but I feel he probably wanted to see what was happening and what he could do about it. If his pa- tient had been having a nor- mal labor, he would have let her deliver any way she wanted. Something went wrong, I imagine. • Perhaps the baby was too slow in ad- vancing, perhaps the mother was exhausted, perhaps she began to bleed too much. He had to see how he could help her. It was for her advantage. I doubt the doctor had one thought about demeaning, or not demeaning himself. Any- one in the medical field knows that when there is an emer- gency, all attention centers on the welfare of the patient, not on the staff. Then, I can imagine that the convenience of the table for deliveries becameo'ebvitsla it was used more and more. , , The length of time a woman is on a delivery table is a very small part of the total labor and women are encouraged to move about, as they feel able, beforehand, if there are no contraindications. A lot of space has been given to castigating the cus- tom of attaching straps to a woman's arms when she is on the table. This routine also has practical reasoning be- hind it. Before antibiotics, 3tl& tiehiatiiiei die only ways to keep a woman and her baby from infection. The doctor scrubbed his 010 that was the best he %mid do. Women .in Leber often wave their hande" around and con- taminate the cleaned up areas. Restrain g: them was common. Many were given anesthetics and did not know what they were doing. The woman wasn't tied down so thedoctor could control her. Once . woman reales that she may harm her baby she is quite willing to have her hands restrained. • Q.

How can I remove paraffin easily from a container in which it has been melted for canning? A, Fill the container with boiling water, then allbw this to cool.
