A French cookery expert says
that "if you have once mastered
the simple dish we call pot-au-feu"
you can then claim to be a cook."
"Pot-au-feu", or course, simply
means "pot on the fire" it is a very
fine way of using a comparatively
inexpensive cut of meat.
Essentially it is a piece of beef
not fit for roasting ---shin, plate,
chuck and so on—cooked slowly
with vegetables till it becomes fork-
tender. French households often
enjoy it once a week or even often-
er, and I think your family will "go
• for it" too if made according to the
following recipe.
* * *
POT-AU-FEU
4 pounds beef with bone (brisket,
rump, shin, plate, chuck or
round)
3 quarts cold water
1 tablespoon salt
Bouquet garni (bay leaf, fourth..
teaspoon thyme, half -teaspoon
peppercorns, three cloves, four
sprigs parsley and few celery
leaves, tied in cheesecloth bag)
2 cups mixed chopped vegetables,
(onion, carrots, celery, white
turnips, parsnip)
6 leeks, white part only
3 carrots, quartered
6 cabbage wedges
6 potatoes, whole or quartered.
(1) Place meat in a large soup
kettle. Add water, salt and bouquet
garni. Bring to a boil, skimming
often. Lower temperature and sim-
mer till meat is almost tender—
four hours or longer.
(2) Add chopped vegetables and
those cut in larger pieces. Simmer
till Latter are tender—about forty-
five minutes,
(3) To serve, remove meat to
serving platter and surround with
large pieces of vegetables. Keep
waren. Serve broth with chopped
vegetables as a first course, Any ex-
cess may be refrigerated for later
use. (Chill. remove fat and use
wherever soup stock is required.)
Yield: six portions. Note: if a
fatty cut of pleat is employed, the
dish is best made a day in advance,
refrigerated and the fat removed be-
fore reheating the pot-au-feu and
serving.
Should any left -over chicken car-
cass be availatle, this, too, may be
added to the pot-au-feu along with
• the raw meat. Or a whole chicken
may be cooked at the same time in
the broth; it will give something to
the stock, and the stock and vege-
tables something to it. The chicken
may be carefully refrigerated for
later meals insalad, creamed, or
merely ° sliced cold. Probably one
will only want to include a chicken
in the pot is (1) the utensil is very
large and (2) food is being prepared
for more than two or three persons
that today comprise many house-
holds.
* * *
Cool fall days may remind you
of the richer meats that you have
neglected during the summer
months, and pork is probably No.
1 on this appetite -satisfying list.
Whatever cut you choose, pork
should be cooked at a moderate
temperature, and cooked thorough-
ly. This is an unvarying rule for
preparing this meat—a meat that is
obtainable in a wide variety be-
cause it is sold both fresh and
smoked.
If you do not use a .meat ther-
mometer, allow 30 minutes per
pound for,, pieces of pork weighing
five pounds or over, and about 45
minutes per pound for smaller
pieces (chops are an exception, re-
quiring only about 30 minutes per
pound except when a recipe calls
for more).
BAKED PORK CHOPS
AND CORN
%.inch thick pork chops
Creamed or scalloped corn
Green pepper
Pimiento
Brown chops in heavy skillet and
place on top of casserole of cream-
ed whole -kernel corn (it can be
fresh, canned or frozen) to which
bits of green pepper and pimiento
have been added. Cover and bake at
350 degrees F. until chops are ten-
der.
if you like stuffed pork chops
with baked apples, have chops cut
thicker (about 1 inch) and trim a
little fat off the edges. Brown chops
on one side and leave in skillet,
brown side up. Pack a generous
mount of highly seasoned stuffing
over entire crop and put trimmed -
off fat on top of stuffing (this
makes then self -basting), and bake
for one hour at 350 degrees F.
Apples, ready for baking may be
put in the same skillet aticl baked
with the chops.
WRONG AGAIN
The orderly officer was going his
rounds at breakfast and stopped at
one table with the usual query,
"Any complaints?"
One man jumped to his feet and
,aid: "Yes, sir, this tea tastes of
chloride of lime."
'rhe officer took the mug, sniffed
the contents, then sipped delicately.
' Non.ense", he pronounced, "that's

Reluctant Dragon—Winston Churchill, owner of one.of the world's
most famous faces, hates to sit for his picture. For two years our
London bureau has been trying to induce him to sit far a new
formal portrait. The other day he consented to "stand" for this
portrait. Conservative Party leaders, wanting to present visual
evidence that the 77 -year-old leader was fit to assume power if
the voters so choose in the Oct. 25 general election, induced°shim
to pose. Churchill stood uneasily for two minutes on the terrace
of his home at Westerham. Then he strode back into the house
without a word. Judge for yourself whether he looks ready to
assume the burdens of another term as prime minister.
We have previously written more than once regarding the disadvan-
tages of coopering a column such as this, which must be .written some
time in advance and so is liable to be somewhat out of date by the time
it appears. -
However, the system has its advantages too. For instance, as this
is written the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers have just started
their 3 -game National League playoff series, and the result of even-, the
first set-to is still in doubt. Therefore we are taking the liberty of zlpro-
ducing here part of our column which appeared way ' back durirl gs• the
first week in March. First of all we dealt with National League pro cis
as follows:
In the National League, Brook-
lyn looks to be a cinch. They should
have won last year, and probably
would have done so but for a late -
season slump occasioned, in all
probability, by some of the Dodgers
getting the not -unusual notion that
press clippings can win ball games.
'k * *
Anyway, the figures show the
Dodgers winning by a fairly com-
fortable margin, their keenest con-
tention coning from the Philadel-
phia Phillies, who figure to sag a
bit from their 1950 drive—a drive
that amazed everybody, including
themselves.
So that's the way the dope reads
—Brooklyn Dodgers, first, Phila-
delphia Phillies second. Therefore,
with our customary mule -like con-
sistency, we are selecting neither of
the two. Our pick for the National
League Pennant — and, when it
comes to that, for the World
Series—is the New York Giants.
'k * *
Having done its duty by the Na-
tional League that March column
went on to deal with the junior
loop thus: ..
k k *
We turn next to the American
League and here we find that the
figures make it even easier for a
* *
prognosticator to choose the win-
ner. Boston Red Sox, by as far
as a circus press agent can toss
the bull, is what it looks like. Steve
O'Neill has the pitchers; he has
the hitters; and in addition to one
of the best infields in baseball —
'Pesky, Stephens, Doerr and Dropo
—he now has added Lou Boudreau
—a very handy guy to have around
at all tines,
F * *
Yes, indeed, it Looks as if Mr.
O'Neill might be suffering from
what one word -painter described as
"a plethora of riches." In fact, Steve
might be like the egg who found
himself with five aces in his hand
in a poker game—on his own deal=
and was puzzled about how to get
rid of the extra one.
'k k *
So Boston Red Sox it is, accord-
ing to the crystal ball, and if the
have any trouble at all making the
grade it should conte from the
direction of Detroit, where Red
Rolfe has a team that should im-
prove on last season's form—which
wasn't so bad after all.
But if you think we're predicting
a World Series between Boston
Red Sox and New York Giants, you
aren't aware of the way our re -

puted mind works. No, we can't
seem to see Boston, or even the
Detroit Tigers. Along about next
October we look for an all -New
York series—Giants versus Yankees
—with Leo Durocher's club finally
taking it all.
is * *
We started off by saying that
having to toss together a column
ten clays or so in advance has its
advantages. Now you'll . see, what
at least one of them happens to be.
By the time you read this, the
Dodgers may have eliminated Leo
Durocher's amazing crew and the
World Series between Brooklyn
and the Yanks will have passed into
history. But, for the moment, we
are in a position to take a few
bows for having called the two
New York teams, right at the very
start of the season—and when you
think back on how badly both
seemed to be outclassed around
that time ,it wasn't such a terrible
call, at that. -
There's the old saying, of course,
that he who laughs last laughs best.
Still ,he who laughs first is sure of
having his—so come on you Giants.
' Chewing Gum
Drs. Samuel Dreizen and Toni
D. Spies report in the Journal of
the American Dental Association
that immediately after meals vol-
unteers chewed sugar -free gum
that contained a nitrofurans (Nitro-
furans are substances used princi-
pally as anti -bacterial agents in
dressings for wounds to prevent
infection.) X-ray examinations at
the end of the year revealed that
the group had developed an aderage
of only 0.8 new cavities compared
with an average of 3.0 new cavities
for a control group that chewed
the specially prepared gum without
the nitrofurans In the third group
that chewed no gum an average
of 3.8 new cavities developed,
