Hello, Homemakers! If there Is
one thing I enjoy it's going to the
market ou Saturday morning, where •
one can wander around and search
.out the choice offerings which the
farmers have brought in from the
country and arranged. in colorful.
-clusters, whes-e we can pick and
choose whatever sults our fancy,
.and our pocketbooks.
At present, the stalls are filled to
overflowing with that •old favourite,
.the cabbage family, which 1nc14•1es
everything from the snowy white
head of cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts,
curly savoys, to_ the big, firm purple
and white drum Beads which supply
the main. ingredient for the kraut
crock and the :winter salad bowl
There's ahvays an abundahce of
bright green parsley, dark red
beets, and big bunches of long
Chinese cabbage, and bags of pota-
toes.
It is also interesting to see Trow
many men are now going about
with shopping lists, cautiously in-
vestigating each purchase they are
making for the homemaker. Then
there are the youngester trailing
their wagon with an air of Inde-
pendence and carrying the family
shopping list to the market ren•
dors. To show how much she spore•
elates this frindly shopping- aside
tante, the homemaker might plan
to make a few special goodies ahead
of the holiday. Cookies are' a uni-
versal favourite, so here are a few
recipes along with otherr Christmae
suggestions.
