Eggnog Popular Feature At Christmas Time When you come to think of it, our well-known friend, eggnog— that pops up every year about this time—is really a very versatile sort of friend. Actually there's no reason for keeping eggnog a Christmas specialty, and perhaps many of you don't, but certainly friend eggnog gets into the act much more as December 25th gets closer and closer. The fact re- mains that there's nothing more suitable for an evening's enter- tainment eating problem than to make up lots of fluffy eggnogs. get out your prettiest bowl and cups (lucky you who have an eggnog set) and place this eye-catcher of a beverage in the centre of your festively decorated table. The rest of the refreshments can be as sim- ple or elaborate as you wish to make them . . . perhaps just Christmas cake or with butter cookies and an assortment of your home - made candies, or with Christmas canapes and crisp rel- ishes . . . for the simple style. Versatile eggnog can be turned into a wonderful party dessert— an eggnog pie—to be featured any- time before or after the big day. And we don't mean just a week before and a week after either! As we mentioned, anytime of the year eggnog can be a friend in need, a friend indeed. An egg- nog sauce is a delight in any one of the twelve months served into squares of plain cake or bland puddings ... and it's wonderfully suited to pour over fresh fruit, too. Then there's the good old fashion- ed plain eggnog that can give us such a boost for eggnog (with milk and eggs as basic ingredients) has all the elements of a perfect pick- me-up. Since Christmas has be- come traditional eggnog season. some of the larger dairies are now bottling eggnog for special orders in this month of December. As a result we've suggested that you might use the bottled product if it's available where you live, in recipes using the dairy foods and other ingredients starting from "scratch." As the strains of "Here we come a -wassailing ..." fade away, your WRTH WAITING FOR Pontiac Introduces this year the 1956 Star Chief Custom Catalina "hardtop" four -door sedan. Built on a 124 -inch wheelbase, and 212.6 inches long, the new car is powered with a 227 horsepower Strato- Streak V8 engine, and equipped with Pontiac's new Strato-FlightHydra-Matic transmission. The new four -door "hardtop" offers more spaciousness than ever before seen in a model of this type. The four -door "hardtop" is also available in the 870 and 860 series. Showing a marked flair for the future in styling, Pontiac will present 16 sparkling new models in the Laurentian, Pathfinder Deluxe and Pathfinder series for 1956. Horsepower will reach a new peak for Pontiac in these series with the introduction of the all-new Strato-Flash V8 205 h.p. engine. A second V8 engine will produce 162 horsepower with standard transmission and 170 with Powerglide, while horsepower on the six -cylinder engine will be increased to 148. Exterior and interior color combinations and finish stress new brilliance and richness in all models, as illustrated in the Laurentian Sedan, above.

UP THE CHRISTMAS BIRD; HITS AND HELP IN HOLIDAY FEASTING Once more it is the time of greeting cards and carols and, of course, of wonderful things to eat —all sparkling with the gaiety of the season. And going along with the custom of dressing up every- thing for the holiday season the home economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture, have a few sugges- tions for decorating the Christmas bird and garnishing the platter. First of all, they give a word of warning that the carver will need plenty of working space. Then, too, the purpose of the decoration is to enhance the beauty of the bird, not cover it up, so it is im- portant not to overload either the bird or the platter with trimmings. Paper frills or small doilies plac- ed on the ends of the drumsticks are decorative as well as useful in handling the bird during carv- ing, but any other garnishes used should be edible and their flavors should blend well with the poultry flavor. To dress up the bird itself, a glaze is sometimes used, especial- ly an apricot or orange glaze on duck. For a large turkey or goose, a holly decoration made from green pepper and raw cran- berries, is colorful. Just cut out pieces of green pepper in the shape of holly leaves and arrange them with clusters of the berries to look like a spray of holly. Toothpicks will come in handy in holding the berries together and in anchoring the whole decoration to the bird. For another attractive trimming, raw cranberries can be threaded together with string, then arrang- ed over the bird and in the crevic- es around the legs. With a few sprigs of parsley this simple gar- nish is very often all that is want- ed, especially if the platter is small. If a large platter is used. there will probably be plenty of room >n it for a fruit or vegetable 'gar- nish around the bird. Raw ,!ran - guests ran - guests will be anxious to try: Wassail Bowl (Makes approximately 2 quarts) 6 egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 1 pint 18% cream, 1 quart milk 1 (1 pint) brick vantlla ice cream 2 teaspoons rum flavoring 6 egg whites Vs teaspoon salt Nutmeg.

Note: For 2 cups of sauce, us- ing bottled eggnog, slowly fold 3/4 cup into 1 cup of whipping cream, whipped. Fold in 1 teaspoon ruin flavoring. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle liberally with nutmeg. berry and apple relish in pre-cook- ed unpeeled apple cups might be used, or the cups may be filled with cranberry sauce or red cur- rant jelly. As for the vegetable, it should be one that is easy to serve, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnip cups filled with peas or green beans, green pepper filled with corn kernels or brown- ed or parsley -buttered potatoes. To roast a goose, the Consumer Section recommends a 325 deg. F. oven in which it will take three to four hours to cook either an eight to twelve -pound undrawn goose, or a six to nine and a half pound eviscerated one. The stuffed bird should be placed on a rack in the roaster with one cup of boiling water added and the pan covered tightly. After cooking 'for one hour the water and fat should be poured off and the cover left off for the rest of the roasting time. Many French recipe books call for chestnut stuffing with goose, but filberts may be used instead —in either case at least one pound of nuts should be added to the bas- ic stuffing. Potato, apple and apricot stuffings are all good with goose and marjoram and sage are appropriate seasonings to use. If the inside of the goose is rubbed with lemon and salt before stuff- ing, it is sure to be remembered with pleasure. For the small family, 'the Con- sumer Section suggests a young duck or two as something differ- ent and hearty to serve for Christ- mas dinner. The skin is white and tender and the flesh underneath is dark, rich and flavorful. Ducks are quite fat, so no basting is need- ed—in fact, after the first hour of cooking, the fat and the water in the pan should be poured off, the same as with goose. A 325 deg. F. oven is recommended and the stuffed duck should be placed breast up, on a rack in the roaster with one cup boiling water added. It will take about two and a half hours or about 40 minutes per pound to cook a four -pound evis- cerated duck. The flavor will im- prove if the cooked bird is allow- ed to stand awhile after cooking, so it should be taken out of the oven a little ahead of mealtime and kept warm until it is put on the table. Stuffings that go with duck are many and varied, but the semi - tart, semisweet flavors of fruit stuffings such as apricot. cherry or orange and raisin, seem to com- bine especially well with this rich meat. A stuffing highly recom- mended by some duck lovers con- sists simply of quartered apples and onions, and another one of just chopped onions and celery. Well -seasoned mashed potatoes make a good basis for duck stuff- ing and a 'combination of sauer- kraut, chopped celery and bread crumbs is good, too. Basil, rose- mary or terragon are the season- ings suggested by the Consumer Section for use with duck.
