By ELAINE TOWNSIfEND
What a beautiful morning!
At least, as I write this
column on November 21, it's
beautiful.
The first snowfall came
during the night and quietly
covered the earth with white.
Early this morning the air
was cold but not bitter; the
countr,side was hustled; the
snowflakes, like dry powder,
floated'on the air.
Bits of sunshine and blue
sky peeked through the.
clouds, and by ten o'clock the
paved highways were dry.
By noon, the snow had
'disappeared except for a few
skiffs caught in grass. •
Some people say Indian
summer comesafter the
first significant snowfall;
others claim it ,has already
passed. I prefer to think
• Indian summer 'is still
waiting in the wings.
Last night winter touched
' the earth with a•gentle,hand,
-and it's difficult, to imagine.
its touch will seldom pe this •
gentle again.
Today I refuse to think
about the winter this first
snowfall heralds.: Instead I'll
enjoy' the. fresh air, crisp
whiteness and exciting hint
of a new season. • -
Today I'll avoid one
particular fellow who, for the
past month, •has been telling
me the signs for a bad winter
outnumber the -signs for a
good winter two to one: "the.
hickory trees have never
been.- more . heavily ,laden
with nuts, and' the bard
maples - dropped -more
"keys" this fall than they
have for twenty years.'•
I won't ponder the weather
predictions in the Canadian
Farmer's Almanac today,
and I'll try to forget what I
read,yesterday : 'December,
1978,'* turning colder: 'snow
Odds '11 ends
A touch
of winter
flurries: high winds setting
in, turning colder with snow;
March 1979. comes in
stormy; April 1979, cone •
tinues cold and backward."
1 don't want a radio or°
television weatherman•to tell
me accumulations of Snow
have arrived -out west or up
north and are coming closer,
Most of all I don't want to
hear the phrase, "more snow
expected in. the lee of the
Lakes." -
Pledse don't remind me
that words and phrases, such -
as snowdrifts, blizzards and
white -outs, stalled cars,
vehicles in .ditches and
stranded motorists, school
buses returning home and
postponements and • can-
cellations, are not just parts
of - the English vocabulary
but are facts of life in a North
I
-Americas winter.
By now most of you have'
guessed, winter is not my
favourite season, in fact, it
ranks about fourth. Some of
you are. probably thinking,
'If she hates winter so much,
why doesn't she move to a
warmer clime?"
The old saying "if it's too
Bake now. . , to avoid fuss
If you're planning to bake
ahead for the Christmas
season; now is a good time to
do it, suggest the food
specialists at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. If you bake now and
freeze the products, you can
enjoy them later without any
fuss.
First decide what kinds
and how many Christmas
goodies you wish to make.
Make sure there will be
erfifttgh room in your. freezer
for what you've planned.
Choose cookies, cakes and
breads that 'freeze well. If
you are in doubt about
freezing` a - particular
product,' prepare a small
batch first and freeze it.
Check, the quality after two
or three days.
Proper packaging is very
important to help maintain
the best quality.of the -baked
products. The packaging
must exclude „•pir and
prevent loss of moisture.
Cookies and squares can
be_ packaged in freezer
containers such as plastic,
aluminum or cardboard
lined with a thick plastic
coating or plastic liner.
Plastic film placed between
the layers of cookies helps
keep them_ from being
crushed or broken. .
Breads and cakes can he
packaged in plastic freezer
bags, plastic film or
aluminum foil. Where
necessary, seal packages
with freezer or masking tape
to epsure a tight. closure.
If the cookies, cakes or
breads are quite sticky or
have a frosting, freeze them
before wrapping. Once
frozen, wrap well. This will
prevent the frosting from
sticking to the.wrapping
Always date the packages
before freezing. For best
quality, plan to use the baked
goods within the recom-
mended storage times.
Baked cookies can be stored
for -four months. Quick
breads,•muffins and biscuits
can be stored for one month,
cakes or squares for four
months, yeast breads for one
month and fruit cake for nine
months.
