The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-07-30, Page 5Cook Book Dedicated To White House Wives Mrs. Ross Gordon loaned us one of her mother's recipe books, The Presidential Cook Book copyrighted in 1896 and dedicated to "The Wives of our Presidents, those noble women who have graced the White House and whose names and memories are dear to all Am- ericans." The "Presidential" was ac- tually a revision of The White House Cook Book published earlier and compiled by Hugo Ziemann, steward of the White House under the Harrison ad- ministration and one-time ca- terer for that Prince Napoleon who was killed while fighting Zulus in Africa. Co-author was Mrs. F. L. Gillette. The condensed volume of the neces- sarily high priced "White House" was produced to make the material "More easily with- in the reach of the masses in point of price." Recipes include everything from the more exotic foods to everyday fare that would be served in any home. There is everything from fried eels to crab pie in the fish section and from whole roast pig to brain cutlets in the meat recipes. The book caters to all hunters with directions for cooking reed birds, snipe, snow birds, squirrels and roast, G. A. WILLIAMS, 01D■ Optometrist 9 PATRICK STREET W.

Practically anything, it seems, can be pickled -- blue- berries, grapes, walnuts, but- ternuts, muskmelons, cabbages„ mushrooms and almost any oth- er fruit or vegetable you could mention. Catsup recipes call for apples, currants, goose- berries, mushrooms, oysters, walnuts and tomatoes. About one third of the book is devoted to cakes, pies, puddings and breads. The "Presidential" doesn't leave you without substitutes either. For instance, if you have a yen for turtle soup and there are not turtles available, you can make "Mock Turtle Soup of Calf's Bead". It's quite simple. Remove the brain and tie the head in cloth and boil until meat will easily slip from the bone. Take out and save the broth. Cut meat into small square pieces and throw into a pot of cold water. When cold put them into a stewpan and cover with some of the broth. Let boil until quite tender and set aside. In another stewpan melt some butter and put into it a quarter pound of lean ham, cut small, and herbs to taste; pars- ley and one onion; add about a pint of broth; simmer two hours; then dredge in a small quantity of flour and add the re- mainder of the broth and quarter bottle of sherry. Let it all stew quietly for ten minutes and rub it through a medium sieve. Add the calf's head from the other stewpan and season with a little cayenne, salt, juice of a le- mon and quarter teaspoon Turn on the key and hear the deep throated roar of a powerful engine.

Not far away will be a farm gateway, flanked by two round posts with cone-shaped tops. "No farmer would dare make them flat," you'll be told. "The little people like to be able to slide down." It is not only the gem -like green beauty which enchants in this part of Britain. If you drive out of Belfast, the twentieth century industrial town which is the capital, you'll come across no greater tribute to the work of the fairies than the Giant's Causeway, near Bushmills. Finn MacCool, the Irish giant, built it, you'll be sur- prised to know. Geologists in- sist it is a volcanic formation, but the locals know better. Finn wanted to get at a Scottish giant who started a companion cause- way from the Island of Staffa. When Finn saw the giant ap- proaching he realized his op- ponent was bigger than he had thought. He pretended to he his own baby, sleeping in the cradle. This enormous baby so frigh- tened the Scottish giant that he tore up the causeway and ran home, leaving the two ends which still exist. There is a fairy cave in the cliff near the causeway. In the third chamber is the localhead- quarters of the fairies, but you will have to find it yourself. Local people give it a wide berth. Over the border in County pounded mace and dessertspoon of sugar. And now the soup is ready for the force meat balls which can be made during the stewing period. Chop six tablespoons of turtle meat very fine and rub to a paste with the yolk of two hard-boiled eggs, tablespoon of butter and a little oyster liquer. Season with cayenne, mace, a little white sugar and a pinch of salt. Bind with a well -beaten egg and shape into small balls. Dip in egg and then powdered crackers. Fry in butter and drop into the soup and serve. The book also contains a yellow dock steeped in vinegar cure for ringworm, recipes for all kinds of poultices, draughts for the feet, remedies for flatu- ent infants and homemade teething and summer complaint cures as well as recipes for broths and other dishes for the sick.

Here the King of the Sea fell in love with Tuagh, a local princess, and sent his magical drummer, Fer Fi MacEogbail, to steal her for him. Whether he did or not is a long story, but rhe River Bann is still full of the finest trout and salmon.

No respectable householder in Cutnny Tyrone would dream of l-+.a'lding a house until he hail planted a fairy spade on the site. One must watch it all night. If the little people mor; it, you must build elsewhere! All this land is green, roll- ing, filled with tiny valleys and streams, groves of trees, and legends. The ancient church of Erigal I+eerogue, be- tween Ballygally and Augher, was built by St. Kieran with the help of a magical bullock. The workmen ate it each night — and yet it was ready for work each morning, until a Mac - Mahon broke a hone to eat some marrow. The bullock went lame and all MacMahons were cursed by the saint into perpetuity. Over the border in County Fermanagh, the country of lak- es and streams, the traveler comes to Enniskillen, one of the most beautiful lake towns of Europe. It is surrounded by fairy islands, each with its own tale. One had its own queen, Peg Elliott, who lived to be one hundred and seven years old. On another, Devenish, is the most perfect round tower in Ire- land, eighty-nine feet tall, Not Foreign Soil Mrs. Ross Wormworth order- ed a catalogue from a lily firm in Oregon, and while she found she couldn't obtain the bulbs she was pleased to know that Americans do not consider Ca- nada a " foreign" country. A notation on the order form read, "No bulbs or plants will be shipped to a foreign country or to Canada." with stairs inside, Who but a fairy would have any use for a tower with nothing to look at from the top but beautiful scenery! Crossing into County Armagh, you will come to the most fa- mous site of Irish legends, Na - van Fort. It is the place of the Kings of ancient Irish folklore. Here Cuchulain and Deirdre of the Sorrows lived and got into all sorts of trouble. Cuchulain was the original man who start- ed carrying a bull -calf every day — in this case to the top of the hill of Emania — and event- ually ventually ended up carrying a full- grown hull. This ancient pal- ace site was destroyed one hun- dred years before St. Patrick came to Northern Ireland. Ile was bishop at Armagh. St. Patrick's burial place is reputed to he at Downpatrick in County Down, Indeed, all County Down is filled with leg- ends of Patrick, holy wells, and holy places. Here's the barn of Saul where he did his first preaching, and there's a legend about the bullocks who were turned loose to drag his coffin to a suitable resting place. They chose the site of the pre- sent cathedral. And so the traveler comes back to County Antrim, and Lough Neagh, the biggest lake in the British Isles, with four kinds of salmon. This once was a peaceful valley. An old lady who was supposed to tend the magic well on the spot ran off to care for a crying child and forgot the well was running. Well, of course by the time she came back, everything was under water, and the well has never yet stopped running. , But fishermen say sometimes they can catch a glimpse of old buildings in the town that used to be there — Healthways. One must be poor to know the luxury of giving. Handy Hints BY ROD STEPHEN CKRD, Red Deer HOLIDAY CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS If you have occasion toleava your house plants for any length of time with the problem of no one to water or care for them, try this method. Set the plant in a plastic bag. Draw the top of the bag up over the lip of the pot and tie snugly, but not too tightly, around the stem at the base of the plant. This will keep the moisture in the soil from evaporating and is quite effective for periods of two or three weeks.
