HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1934-02-08, Page 3Delicious Lamb Dishes While'most of us prefer lamb chops, there are many dishes that are equal- ly appetizing from the shoulder or breast of lamb. Each quarter usually weighs froXn Dix to nine pounds, but the butcher 'quill be glad to cut in such sized por- tions as his customer wants, There its little difference of bone and waste in the forequarter and in the chops, tud the price usually 1e considerably less In the forequarter. Forequarter Tougher The forequarter meat is naturally tougher than that of the hindquarter and in tough meats the connective tissue is thb part that must receive Special attention. By separating the meat, bone and fat, each one can be used to advant- age. The meat can be put through the food chopper ready for attractive chopped "steaks." The bone may be used for broth, the fat chopped and easily fried out to be used for pan-fry- ing. Variety in dishes made with the forequarter of lamb often may be ac- complished by using suitable sauces and other accompaniments such as rice and spaghetti. The small family will find two pounds of lamb from the forequarter sufficient for its needs. The larger family, of course, will need more in proportion to its size. Ways to Prepare When the meat is left in one piece it may be boiled, roasted, braised with vegetables or cooked and pressed and Served cold. Cut in pieces, Irish stew, fricassee of lamb, casserole of lamb and lamb curry are sure to please. When the meat and bozie are separ- ated before cooking, several pleasing dishs may be concocted. The pieces of clear meat niay be pounded thin— Trenched." These are broiled and served with minted currant jelly. Or, instead of flattening the fillets, each one may be wrapped with a strip of breakfast bacon, held with a toothpick and broiled or baked in a hot oven. If the meat is chopped, it may be made into cakes like Hamburg steaks and broiled or fried. The bone may be boiled to make broth or stock. If the meat, with vege- tables and rice, is added to this broth, a nourishing . dish known . as Scotch broth is made. • Chopped lamb ooinbined with crack er crumbs and eggs makes a delect- able meat loaf. Served with Iamb chops, for popularity. The nutritive value of this inexpen- sive meat is quite as great as that of the choicer, more costly cuts. The flavor is just as delicious in the shoulder as in the leg. Hot Cakes For Tea Hot buttered scones and cakes must always find a place on the win- ter tea ta'bie. Most of us have our own favorite recipes, but a change is often wee comed. Here is a simple recipe for scones, for a start. Mix together 2 cups pastry flour, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon cream of tartar, a quarter teaspoon bicar- bonate of soda, rub in 4 tablespoons butter, then add two tablespoons sugar and the same of sultanas. Mix to a stiff paste with a little lemon juice, and divide into small milk or an egg, add a few drops of rounds. Place, on a greased tin and bake in a quick oven for about ten minutes. Cool on a wire rack. When re- quired, split open, spread with butter and place in a hot oven for a few minutes. Potato Scones Now, another scone recipe made with cold, mashed potatoes, One cup cooked, mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons butter, S tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon bicarbdnate soda, the same of &ream of tartar, a pinch of salt, and •a dessertspoon warm milk.

When the are to be served, cut the cakes open and toast and butter them.. Wafer Pancakes In Scotland you will usually find delicious thin pancakes on the tea table. Here is a recipe. • • Sift together one cup flour and a pinch of salt. Add a beaten egg, half a cup milk, and a tablespoon melted butter, and beat well. Lastly add a teaspoon baking powder. Grease a frying pan with a nut of butter and when the pan is hot, drop in a ,spoonful of the mixture at a time, brown on both sides, and serve at once. A tablespoon of grated chocolate added to the above ingredients makes these pancakes specially appreciated by the children. Keeping Hose Straight Keeping stockings straight is large- ly a matter of knowing where to fasten your garters. If you fasten the back garters first, directly over the seams, and then hook the front ones, your stockings never will get twisted. Soiled Windows Most of the modern housewives are quite ready to let the windows ac- cumulate a bit of soil in freezing weather, but if they annoy you so much you must do something _about them, moisten your ,soft cloth with kerosene instead of water. Household Hints To clean a deep vase, allow a solu- tion of salt and vinegar to stand in it a short time To scald milk easily, set the jug in a pan of cold water. Whenwater boils the milk is ready. To make lettuce crisp hang in a draughtafter draining, tied lightly in a tea cloth. To ventilate a room place a pitcher of cold water on a table in your room and it will absorb all gases. The water will be entirely unfit for use. To mend cut in tablescloth or other fine linen work, button hole stitch with not too coarse thread all around cuts, then turn on the wrong side and holding two edges firmly overcast the edges. Use dental floss to mend with. Try it for buttons. To clean wall paper: Use 1 cup flour and paster of Paris. Roll it into a moist ball. Clean the paper, CORNSTARCH PUDDINGS • Eggs Aid Dish Eggs may be added to the majority -of cornstarch puddings and contribute a pleasing delicacy as well as food value. If eggs are 'used, remember never to add the egg to the hot corm starche mixture. The •heat will cook the tiny particles of egg almost im- mediately and a speokled mixture will result. Pour the cornstarch mixture slowly into the beaten egg, stirring contently. When thoroughly blended, return to double boiler and cook one minute. The starch mixture must be well cooked bfore combining with egg. A cornstarch pudding should be stiff enough to hold its shape when un - molded but not hard or solid. Its tex- ture should be perfectly smooth and tender and its flavor delicate but not insipid. The following rule for vauilla corn- starch pudding may be varied in sev- eral ways. Chocolate is always a popu- lar flavor and may be made from the basic rule by adding two squares of melted chocolate to the corntaroh and A Challenge to Capt. Monism This, is the aeroplane In which Man Mohan Singh, ,ohief pilot to the Maharajah of Patiala, hopes to wrest England -to -Cape Town laurels from the popular British airman, Capt. Mellison, who flew the dis- tance in 4 days 6 hours and 54 minutes. sugar before the scalded milk is pour- ed oured over it. Nuts may be added to vanilla' or chocolate pudding. Cornstarch Pudding Two cups milk, 3 tablespobns corn- starch, 6 tablespoons sugar, i/, • tea- spoon salt, 1 egg, y/z teaspoon vanilla. Scald 1% cups milk in top of double boiler. When tiny bubbles appear around the edge of the milk it is hot enough. Mix cornstarch and 2 table- spoons sugar with remaining cold milk. Stir until perfectly smooth. Pour about half the scalded mill: into. the cold n silk mixture, stirring rapidly. Add this to milk in the double boiler, stirring constantly. Cook and stir un- til thick and smooth. Remove spoon; cover and cook over hot water, stir- ring occasionally, for twenty minutes. The water in the bottom of the double boiler should be kept boiling. Beat egg slightly with remaining sugar and salt and slowly add cornstarch mix- ture, stirring constantly. Return to double boiler and cook one minute. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes. Add vanilla and beat well. Turn into molds which have been dipped in cold water and let stand un- til cold. Then chill thoroughly before serving. An intriguing way to serve 'this pud- ding is to put a teaspoon of sweeten- ed sherry in each sherbet glass, add the pudding and pour another teaspoon of sweetened sherry over each. Top with whipped cream. For children serve the pudding with sugar and cream, whipped cream or a sauce such as is served over ice cream. Bill of Lading Required All trucksters.handling livestock are required by Government regulations, under which their licenses are issued, to furnish farmers with bills of lading on livestock shipments. Many farmers are not aware of this regulation or the protection it affords them and many cases come to light where livestock shippers have suffered loss through not insisting on a bill of lading from th trucker who hauls his stock to mar- ket. Under the Highways Act,' every trucker transporting livestock for hire is required under his P. C. V. license to furnish. a bill of lading to the ship- per. The Regulation affords the pro- ducer an opportunity of determining to whom his livestock is sold. In any case it assures the shipper that he will get his money and a full and cor- rect statement from the purchaser to whom the trucker delivers his load. These regulations do not apply to farmers transporting their own live- stock nor to drovers who purchase out- right from the farmer and transport their purchases to market. But if the farmer fails to insist oil a bill of lad- ing from the trucker who hauls his cattle he can have no assurance of where his livestock is sold or to whom, or at what prices, and more- over, he has to accept the trucker's re- sponsibility Thr returning the money. With a bill of lading from the truck- er a farmer can make sure that his cattle are not sold directly to a Packer by whom the trucker may be employ- ed, if he desires the open competition of the Stock Yards, ...._-..•-neer ;..�___.__ "Lack of humor is closely associat- ed with lack of optimism."—Emil Sunday School Lesson S0-S-*-i-.-.-l-.i-.-®-®-O-.-i-.-o-0+•44-@-Y-�4 LESSON VI—February 11. -- Timely Warnings (Temperance Lesson).— Matthew esson)—Matthew 7:1-29. Golden Text— Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit Is hewn down, and cast into the fire.—Matt. 7:19. TIME—Midsummer of A.D. 28, the second year of Christ's ministry, PLACE—The Horns of Hattin, a hill west of the Sea of Galilee, "All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, -even so do ye also unto them," "Therefore" goes back to the preceding verses of the chapter. As we are to stand before the judgment seat of God (verse 1), so we are to judge others with charity. "For this is the law and the prophets." This rule summarizes the teaching of the Old Testament, which Christ came to fulfill (see Matt. 5: 17). " "Enter ye in by the narrow gate." Enter thus, says Christ, into the king- dom of God. The way of the gospel is narrow because it is the way of hu- mility. The gate of heaven is too strait for self-justification. Finally, the path of the gospel is narrow be- cause it is the path of love. "For wide is the gate,and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction." The Bible knows only two classes because, it knows of only two characters. The Bible divides hien into godly and un- godly; righteous and unrighteous; good _arid bad. . "And many.are they Ville" enter in thereby." The Easy Gate! Behold the crowds that are surging through it! This gate at- tracts; this gate invites. "For narrow is the gate, and strait- ened the way, that leadeth unto life." The gate is strait, but it is always open. The narrow way is narrow, but it grows wider as you go on. The end is everlasting life. "And few are they that find it." Who said that few find the way, and in what tone did he utter the words? Jesus spoke them, and spoke then with a sigh. His com- plaint that fes* are conning is the sweetest and strongest encouragement for all to come. "Beware of false prophets." Pro- phets here not in the sense of seers foretellers, but in the more eonuncli Old Testament sense of preachers, forth -tellers. "Who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves." These false teach- ers wear the outward appearance of guileless seekers after truth, while all the time they are seeking to destroy the truth. "By their fruits ye shall know them." There was held at the Colum- bian Exposition a Parliament of Reli- gions, at which representatives of the religions of the world presented their theories, and each went home quite satisfied that he had exhibited a more perfect theory of religion than the others. It was a poor test. The only test worth anything would have been the bringing together of the peoples that the religions had made. "Do .nen gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" In the natural world you will not find valuable fruit growing upon a common bush; no more will you in the spiritual. What a man says must be lived out in his life. Hie character will assuredly translate itself into his actions. "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." The great- tian. Christ's mightiest miracle is he who incarnates the Christ. "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." The saloon is an evil tree. Poets may laud the spark- ling wine cup, but always there is a deadly snake in the grass. "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." The Jews did not cultivate trees for shade or beauty, but only: for their fruit. "Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them." A noted scoffer was once interrupted in his noisy excitement by two questions: 1, What would be the effect upon this world if everybody was a consistent Christian? 2, What would be the effect upon this world if everybody was a consisbent infidel? The argument is a crushing one. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- dom of heaven." He does not mean that tee are not to call him Lord with our lips, but that our lives are to fol- low our words. "But he that doeth the will of my Father who is in hea- ven." Religion is not a dogma, nor an emotion, but a service. "Maley will say to me in that day." the day of judgment. "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name." Teach in Christ's name. "And by thy name east out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?" For good rea- sons, they had received power to work miracles and thus aidin the spread of the gospel, though theirs was a mere surface profession of Christianity. "And then -will I profess umbo them, I never knew you." With what a ter- rible shock will those stern and solemn words conte to then! "Depart from me,. ye that work iniquity." That will be hell, to be absent from Jens,. This is the reason for eternal punishment. Men will be eternal sinners. "Everyone therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth then" Hearing, as Christ would have us con- tinually remember, is useless without doing. "Shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock." A wise man can easily reach a firm basis on which to rear his life. "And the rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house:" The narrative emphasizes the separate elements of the storm. "And it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock." It is a substantial structure. "And every and that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not," Our Lord (verse 29) taught as one having authority. "Shall be likened unto a foolish nian, who built his house upon the sand." The imagery is from a mountain country where the torrent beds, sometimes more than half a mile in width in the plain below the mountain, are dry in summer, and present a level waste of sand and stones. "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house." The testing of character by trials and temptation is for all, the weak and the strong, the wise and the foolish alike. "And it fell: and great was the fall thereof.'Great was the fall thereof does not mean that the building was a large one, but that the whole edifice fell, so that the ruin was complete. The warn- ing applies to small characters as well as great. "In the kingdom of God there are neither favorites nor step -children." —Cardinal Faulhaber of Germany. "The typically modern hero is not the soldier, but the record breaker or the scintiflc investigator." — Aldous Ludwig. -. est apologetic on earth is the Chris- Huxley.

The trade of war is pictured as equally heroic." The citadel of old ideas must be stormed if the war mentality were tel be erased, he declared. It was neves-' sary to provide for the young people the same excitement, enthusiasm and spirit of heroism in the fight for peaee1 as had been instilled in times of war!
