Craft By Louisa Rush As you all know tatting is gaining quite a bit in popu- larity these days. The young- er generation especially has found it to be a very inexpen- sive and portable craft. By that I mean there is no great outlay of money for mater- ials, usually just a ball or two of tatting or crochet cotton and a shuttle, that even with today's prices are quite modest. It's portable, in that it requires no room to take along with you. Most hand- bags are big enough to ac- commodate the cotton and shuttle, and you can work the tatting in odd moments once you know the repetition of the pattern.

Now it seems all that is about to change. Remember those chubby little Campbell kids with the dimples in their fat knees scarfing down all that hot soup? In keeping with the nation's preoccupa- tion with physical fitness, the "kids" are going to shed a few pounds. Experts are now saying fat babies are not necessarily healthy babies and they're going to update their image. Okay, I didn't say anything when they lightened up Aunt Jemima a few years ago. I even kept silent when they gave Betty Crocker a new hairstyle, but now they've gone too far. The faces on my cupboard shelves are like old friends. How do you think I'm going to feel picking up Mrs. But- terworth and discovering a Barbie doll in my hand? Or poking around the freezer case and coming up with Mama Celeste with a facelift, blonde hair and a jogging suit? It won't be the same, I suppose the Blue Nun will go modern and exchange her traditional habit and bicycle for a three-piece suit and a Corvette. Or worse, some ad agency will put Orville Red- enbacher in contact lenses, dye his hair and have him shorten his name. , Sometimes I think adver- tisers don't understand people at all. Eating should be a pleasurable experience. 1 know by looking at the Hershey kids , that they eat chocolate until their faces .have to be retouched. 1 know that Mrs. Smith drags into the kitchen every morning and bakes every one of those pies and has never counted a calorie in her life. And I know that when the Quaker appears on the oat- meal box wearing Foster Grant glasses and a chain around his neck, it'll be all over for me. If I were the advertisers, I'd go the other way. I'd try to restore some of the warmth and pleasure that comes with good food. I'd have a fold -out page of Orson Welles eating avocado and sour cream dip and saying, "Would this body lie to you?", Be well when you are not i11, and pleased when you are 46 not angry. Talk I even saw one young lady walking along the boardwalk at Quebec City last fall work- ing at her tatting while strol- ling in the sunshine. I've seen -an elderly lady pull her tatting out while waiting in a doctor's office, and several in trains, buses and planes. One young lady who com- mutes to work every day by train has become quite nim- ble at this craft and plans to use the extra money earned for a super vacation. The knack of tatting is the throwing of the loop so that it will tighten on the thread to form the ring. Once you have mastered this, you'll find it fascinating to continue on and form new designs. The finished effect is most deli- cate and can be used any- where in place of crochet. Every week brings enquir- ies on -how to work tatting and also readers wanting more patterns. For those of you who would like to learn, my leaflet "How to Tat" will be of great assistance. It shows in great detail the position of the thread, shuttle and hands through each step. Leaflet No. 7719 has direc- tions for a pretty tatted pic- ture, and No. 7735 is for a tatted cheval set. No. 8152 is for a tatted place mat and No. 8267 is for a tatted runner. For those of you enquiring about the buttoned neck warmer, which one lady des- cribes as an oversize collar, yes, I do have the directions on leaflet No. 8050. It's a very attractive way of having extra warmth around the neck and you can easily knit one in an evening. 0 0. 0 This week's pattern is another attractive tatted pattern and with the addition of a little crochet makes it that much more unique. Directions for this doiley are on Leaflet No. 8275. To order this week's pat- tern No. 8275 or any other leaflet mentioned, send 75 cents for each,' plus a stamped self addressed re- turn envelope. If you do not have a stamp or envelope, please enclose an extra 50 cents to cover the cost of handling and print your name and address.

MICROWAVE MAGIC A of an By DESIREE VIVEA Back in the Middle Ages, dill was said to be effective against witches. Its name originated from the Saxon, word dillan which means "to dull," for dill was ad- ministered to restless in- fants to induce sleep. Today dill takes its place next- to the other popular herbs in the spice rack. Dill and fish go together as well as dill and pickle, and sprinkled over new po- tatoes, it's divine. A less - known use for dill is as a stomach soother, when brewed into a tea with water or white wine. Dill also stimulates the appetite and the seeds are a boon to insomniacs. CREAMY DILLED FISH 2 lbs. fish steaks cut 3/4 -inch thick 2 tbsps. butter or margarine 1/4 tsp. dill weed 3 tbsps. whipping cream 1 tbsp. dry Vermouth Salt and pepper to taste This recipe works equal- ly well with halibut, sword- fish, sea bass, ling cod or salmon. If fish is frozen, thaw and pat dry. Place butter and dill -weed in 7x11 -inch baking dish and melt in microwave until bubbly. Stir in whipping cream and Vermouth. Ar- range fish in single layer and cook 31/2 minutes. Turn fish over, cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes until fish ap- pears opaque throughout and flakes easily when probed with fork. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, spooning sauce -over fish. Serves 4.

Spread mixture evenly over bottom bun halves; cover with bun tops. Wrap each sandwich lightly in paper and cook in microwave, allowing 30 to 45 seconds for each sand- wich or until cheese is melted. Makes 6 sand- wiches. CHILLED BEET SOUP 6 cups peeled, diced beets 2 cans .(14 oz. each) regular strength chicken broth 2 cups buttermilk 1 tsp. dill weed Salt and pepper to taste 3/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1 large apple 2 tsps. lemon juice Sour cream Put beets in 3 -quart bak- ing dish, add iii cup of the broth, cover and - cook in microwave 20 minutes or illy herb Crossroads—March 16, 1983—Page 7 until tender when pierced.
