Cooks surprised they won cookbook cvntest
Gail Currie of Goderich
is a busy mother with a
family of four children,
including one pre-
schooler. She also works
part-time as an RNA at
Alexandra. Marine and
General Hospital.
A11 of this doesn't leave
her much time for
cooking and baking.
However, she did manage
to win $50. for her
Women's Day Out group
with her recipe contest
entry for cheeseafers.
"I'm not much!• of a
sewer but I love baking,"
says Mrs. Currie.
She admits that she
was very surprised that
her ,recipe won the
contest. She almost didn't
even - enter it. Barb
Desjardins had men-
tioned to the Women's
Day Out group that she
would collect recipe
entries from all the
women at a Wednesday
meeting and take them to
.the Signa.i-Star. Mrs.
Currie forgot to take a
recipe to that meeting so
she quickly jotted ,,one
down when she went
home at noon and took it
to Mrs. Desjardins.
"I neverthought
anymore about it," she
says.
She remembers when
the recipe book came out,
her husband was sur-
prised to see her name in
it.
"I hadn't even bothered
to mention that I had
entered," she says.
When she won, Mrs.
Currie phoned her friend
Carole Damen in Lucan
because she had
originally gotten. the
cheese wafer recipe from
her.
"They are little
biscuits. They're good to
have with cheese instead
of crackers. And you can
make them ahead of time
and freeze them," she
explains...
Mrs. Currie plans to go
on what she . calls "a
baking spree" this
weekend to make goodies
for her own family for
Christmas.
"I used to go on sprees
at home when I was
younger and do the
baking for my mom," she
says. '
She hasn't .had much
time to bake for her own
family because • she has
been baking for bazaars
and has been involved in
two. "cookie exchanges",
an eight dozen exchange
with members of North
Street U.C.W. and a six
dozen exchange with
members of Women's
Day Out.
As a working mother
with. four children, Mrs.
Currie has become a
careful shopper. She
makes out menus for the
week and" then goes
through the newspaper
looking for bargains and
making her grocery list,
"I like grocery shop-
ping except for the
prices," she says.
She uses her slow
cooker a lot too and finds
it a valuable aid when she
is working.
Since she does so much
baking, Mrs. Currie says
her children have come to
expect dessert all' the
time. Her daughter has
also begun to enjoy
baking.
Mrs. Currie only en-
tered one recipe in the
Signal -Star .contest: If she
had been thinking, she
says she would have
entered her raisin loaf in
the individual category.
A lot of people have
complimented her" on it.
"Maybe another
time..." she says. For
now., she is happy to have
won money for Women's
Day Out. She says the
group has many good
uses for it.
Marjorie Duizer .of.
Londesboro loves to. sew.
She says she sews almost
constantly.
She did take .time out
from her sewing,
however, to submit
several recipes in the
individual categroy of the
Signal -Star's recipe
contest recently::
She was really sur-
prised to hear that she
would receive $50 for her
grasshopper pie entry.
"I've never won such a
contest before," she says.
In fact, she continues, she
seldom ever wins
anything.
Although she never did
muc oking and baking
until a er she was
married Mrs. Duizer
finds that she enjoys it.
Sometimes she's in the
mood to make fancy
desserts. But although
grasshopper pie sounds
fancy, it is really very
simple to make, she says.
Mrs. Duizer has three
daughters and a son and
says that her baking gets
.eaten nearly as fast as
she .does .it. Her 12 and 13 -
year -old daughters enjoy
baking desserts and Mrs.
Duizer say they bake
more than she ever did at
their age.
As a 4-H leader, Mrs.
Duizer has taught baking
and cooking; She says the
4-11 girls ,really seem to
enjoy the cooking clubs..
Mrs. Duizer has done
lots of baking for
Women's Institute bake
sales too.
As for her prize money,
she says she is going to
pay . for her husband's
Christmas gift with it.
Sheila Corriveau, 11 -
year -old daughter of Don
of Goderich, says but-
terscotch chow mein
cookies are easy to make
and really good.
The judges in the
Signal -Star's recipe
contest must have agreed
because Sheila's cookies
won $50 for the Second
Goderich Girl • Guide
Company.
Sheila entered her
cookie recipe and several
others on behalf of her
guide company and was
really surprised when her
leader, Dorothy Crocker,
told her they . had won.
There are quite a few
different ways in which'
the prize money can be
spent by the guides, says
Sheila.
Sheila's -mother taught
her how to make the
winning entry.
She likesto bake on
special occassions and
says she recently made a
cake for her mother's
birthday.
