Clinton News-Record, 1966-03-17, Page 5From My Window l Won’t Hurt The top o’ the mornin’ to yw. One day each year everyone is Irish, a member of that hap­ py society abounding in "\vee folk”,- shamrocks and blarney. Today, it doesn’t seem to mat­ ter if the only thing we know about Ireland is that it ex­ ports costly linen and dandy whisky — for when the capti­ vating lilt of Irish music tick­ les the eardrum we feel we are natives of Killarney with a leprechaun in every pocket, Tomorrow, .the green scarves and ties will be tossed back + FOR YOUR HELP into the trunk and the magic W® be gone for another five weeks. It’s too bad too, for the Irish could teach one of life’s sweetest lessons if we gaye them half a chance, Any Irishman who has ‘‘kiss- ed the blarney stone” knows the ■ true value of the gift. Without that "bit of the blar­ ney” many an Irishman’s ton­ gue would be tied like ours when' 'it came to express those innermost feelings that make the difference between, existing and living. With the blarney stone as a national excuse however, it is. easy to pass put those compliments and kind thoughts which we non-Irish find embarrassing to say. I’m not advocating gushy in­ sincerity? Too much of any­ thing is often worse 'than none at 'all . , but I think if we are honest, we all have to admit there have been1 moments when great lumps of heartfelt phras- A Little Blarney Clinton's Wl To Elect Officers Irish Potatoes Thurs., March 17, 1966-—Clinton News-Record—-Page 5 - HURON COUNTY JUNIOR FARMERS' DRAMA FESTIVAL in SEAFORTH DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY, MARCH 18 8:00 p.m. sharp 2 I-Act Plays Other Entertainment ».................. . uni ii ■ '■■■in ..................m"..........J!

I get even 'more frus­ trated when I realize I have saicrificed the afternoon mpvie where Richard Widmark seduc­ ed Kirn Novack'when ten min­ utes, a can of beans and a pound of weiners would have caused as much excitement as the roast chicken and apple turnovers I served.

Speaking as a mother, I often fail to tell by youngsters I’m proud of their achievements. . Speaking 'as- a daughter, I’m haunted by toe knowledge it is too late to voice my deep ap­ preciation to my parents.

Good Irish Cobblers have been a fa­ vorite of fine cooks over the centuries . and 'while potatoes have been one of the staples in our Canadian diet, they can get rather dull..

The secret of potato pan­ cakes is in the way the batter is cooked. Two tablespoons, of the potato mixture will make a nice pancake. Spoon this into the pan and spread it put very thin.

Individual taste will dictate what you will serve with your poitato pancakes. Everything including applesauce, maple sy­ rup, applebutter, dill pickles and chili sauce has been tried and enjoyed over toe years, but generally speaking, applesauce is most popular.

Add onion to taste, chopped very fine; salt to taste; vinegar; and thick, thick sour cream. Blend well. Let salad stand at least one hour before serving. (Most German housewives cook by. sight and taste. How­ ever, in this particular recipe one to two tablespoons of vine­ gar per half cup of sour cream used should be sufficient.)
