Received an urgent phone
call this morning, from a
lady who had finished a
lovely round -yoke design ski
sweater. This had been a
Christmas present to her son
out in Calgary, but corres-
ponding through the mail,
measurements got a bit
mixed up!
He had wanted it 74 cm or
29 inches from the shoulder,
she had misunderstood and
made it that length to the
underarm. No wonder he
wrote that it came down
around his knees!
Being a good neighbor I in-
vited her over and showed
her how to go about shorten-
ing it. As there was a 8 cm or
3 inch ribbing at the waist
which we allowed for, I care-
fully snipped one of the
stitches at the given point,
and showed her how to un-
pick each stitch, then to put
it on the needle size the rib -
T lk
bing was to be worked on.
I watched her as she did
the unpicking across the
back, then showed her how to
knit on the 8 cm or 3 inches of
ribbing. To make sure she
cast off loosely, which was to
be around the waist, I gave
her one size larger needle.
After her lesson, she felt
quite confident to do the
front herself, and she has
assured me she'll have it fin-
ished and on its way back to
Calgary soon!
This actually is a good way
to lengthen sleeves and the
body of a sweater for a child
who has grown. I remember
doing this once for my son.
The sweater was beige, so I
bought a dark brown wool of
the same weight, then knit on
about 10 cm or 4 inches in
stocking stitch on each
sleeve and the body, then
worked the ribbing also in
the dark brown. He was able
to Wear the sweater for
AT THE INTERSECTION OF CONESTOGA PARKWAY AND KING ST. N. WATERLOO 886-5500
another year.
I found too that legs
always seemed to grow with
the children's snowsuits end-
ing up short, so I would re-
move the machine knit cuff
and attach an extra long
hand knitted one of ribbing in
a matching color. The long
cuff always went into their
snowboots anyway, and
there was many a snowsuit
which lasted out the winter
in this way!

Onions pack a
tear-rific flavor
By TONI GRIFFIN
"I've gone through more
matches this way," said
Paula Lipton, removing a
sturdy wood match from
her clenched teeth.
"It's thet way I.know
to fight the onion blues. I
used to be so teary when
cutting onions that a visi-
tor might have thought
that our pet aardvark had
passed away."
That was before Lipton
discovered the sulfur.meth-
od by which a person slic-
ing onions bites down on an
unlit match and breathes

When a spunky onion -
slicer of 82 years talks,
people listen. And when
that dynamo announces
that she has made a bowl
of onion dip, people drop
whatever they are doing to
dunk in a crunchy chip,
raw vegetable — or both —
to savor the essence of
onion in Mollie's onion dip.
The recipe for this onion
dip, treasured for four gen-
erations, is, easy and will
hold in refrigeration for a
week.
MOLLIE'S
ONION DIP
1 8 -oz. pkg. cream
cheese
1 small onion
1 garlic clove
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp. mayonnaise
Worcestershire
sauce
Allow cream cheese to
soften in mixing bowl. Add
finely grated onion and
garlic. Stir in lemon juice
and dash or two of Wor-
cestershire sauce. Add
mayonnaise for desired
consistency. Chill. If too
thick, add more mayon-
naise before serving.
Scallions are very tasty
in quiches because the cus-
tard base acts as a fine
background for the onion
flavor.

1 cup thinly slice

THE
SUPER
BEAUTIES
Constance
McCashin
By COLETTE BOUCHEZ
If the chemistry between
"Knot's Landing's" CON -
STANCE McCASHIN (por-
traying the lovely Laura
Avery) and her tiny new
co-star baby Daniel seems
particularly good, it might
be due to the fact that in
real life they are indeed
mother and son!
In the middle of last
year's television season
Constance became preg-
nant. Rather than have her
character come to some
"soapy" demise, the preg-
nancy was written into the
show. When they began
filming for the new season
however, an inevitable
problem appeared ... a
baby was needed to take on
the new role. Well, in less
time than it takes to
change a diaper, a giggling,
gooing, totally delightful
Daniel Morgan Weisman
won the hearts of cast and
crew alike, and ... a star
was born! (Constance is
married to producer Sam
Weisman.)
"They pick him up in a
limo," says his proud
momma, "and he has a big-
ger dressing room than I
do and it's just amazing
how quickly he adjusted to
it all. They are very care-
ful about only working him
for very short periods of
time, and no more than 20
minutes a day, but he just
loves it! He smiles and gig-
gles the whole time he is on
the set."
Along with Daniel's easy
adjustment to his new-
found stardom, came the
return of an absolutely ter-
rific figure to his Super
Beauty mom, who credits
her quick transition back
to bathing beauty status to
4 slices bacon, fried
and crumbled
1 cup grated Swiss
cheese
3 eggs
11/2 cups milk or
half-and-half
ala tsp. salt
312 tsp. Worcester-
shire sauce
Saute onions in butter
until tender. Spoon into
pastry shell. Sprinkle with
bacon and cheese. Beat
eggs with milk, salt and
Worcestershire sauce.
Pour over onions. Bake at
450 degrees for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 de-
grees. Bake 25 to 30 min-
utes longer or until custard
is set. Cut into wedges.
Makes 6 servings.
French onion soup re-
quires lengthy sauteing of
onion rings, followed by
boiling and then simmer-
ing the onions in a rict,
broth, so dry onions are the
natural choice for this soup
so popular in France due to
its maximum taste for
minimum preparation.
FRENCH ONION SOUP
2 large or 3 medium
onions, sliced
1/4 cup margarine or
butter
2 tbsps. flour
2 cups bouillon (beef,
chicken or both)
2 cups water
Dash pepper
1 tsp. Worcestershire
sauce
4 to 6 slices French
bread, toasted
3/4 cup grated Swiss
• cheese
Grated Parmesan
cheese
In large saucepan, cook
onions in butter until ten-
der and medium brown.
Sprinkle with flour, stir-
ring constantly to cook
flour 1-2 minutes. Add
bouillon, water, pepper and
Worcestershire sauce.
Simmer covered 20 to 25
minutes to blend flavors.
To serve, top each serving
with a slice of toasted
French bread and sprinkle
with Swiss and Parmesan
cheeses. If desired, place
under broiler until cheese
is bubbly. Makes 4 to 6
servings.
common sense and proper
prenatal care of her own
body.
Says Constance: "I
gained 37 pounds during
my pregnancy, and Daniel
weighed in at 9.1 pounds at
birth ... so that meant I still
had 26 pounds to lose.
" I couldn't really diet,"
she continues, "because I
was nursing and had to eat
foods that were nutrition-
ally sound. But what I
learned was, eating well
doesn't have to mean eat-
ing fattening foods.
"After all," she says with
a giggle, "you really don't
have to wash down your
milk with Sarah Lee."
In addition, Constance is
a firm believer in exercise,
which she continued to do
faithfully throughout her
pregnancy.
"First of all I think that
swimming is one of the
best exercises for you,
pregnant or not," says this
Super Beauty, "and I con-
tinued to do it as often as I
could while I was preg-
nant. In addition, I had
been following the Jane
Fonda Workout exercises
before I became pregnant
and then continued it after-
ward switching to their
prenatal program, which
concentrates on exercises
CONSTANCE
McCASHIN
... She and son Daniel
both star on CBS'
"Knots Landing"
specifically for expectant
mothers. I think that stay-
ing in shape during my
pregnancy was a big con-
tributing factor to regain-
ing my shape after Daniel
was born."
Because Jane Fonda's
special clinic also believes
in post -natal exercise for
both mother and child,
Constance was able to con-
tinue her classes along
with the baby.
"I went back after Dani -
al was born," she says,
"and it really benefited
both of us. Not only did I
get in shape, but the mas-
sages and exercises you do
with your baby creates a
nice interaction and a real
bonding begins to occur.
The babies all seem to love
it and it's a great time for
the two of you to share
something really special.
And nothing helps you get
back into shape like feeling
good about yourself and
the, new life you brought
into the world. Happiness
works all kinds of mira-
cles, both big and small."
