Times-Advocate, 1988-06-15, Page 6Page 6 June 15, 1988 Cookies at Blyth BLYTH - How many cookies do you need for.•twenty-two perfor- mances of The Cookie War? Sixty dozen real cookies and 40 dozen fake cookies! The 40 dozen fake cookies include six dozen oatmeal raisin, three dozen melting - moments, three dozen matrimony squares, and 24 dozen of the stars of the show - the famous crunchy -on - the -outside, chewy-on-thc-inside rigglcvakc cookics. The edible cookies are the 20 dozen real riggle- vake cookics. What happens to all these cookics over the course of a performance? The cookics get eaten, crushed and used in a spell. They stock the shelves of a store called 'The Doily Cart' - and some of them get shipped off to New York for test- ing. In the great Blyth Festival tradi- tion, all thc cookies are home-made - even the fake ones! The recipes for the edible cookics come from old - order Mennonite recipes collected in Edna Stacblcr s book, Food That Really Schmecks, and arc being made by members of the Friends of Blyth, the theatre's special volun- teers. So far Deborah Ratellel, Properties Master has enlisted the culinary expertise of local residents Evalcna Webster and Beth Fulton.

With regret the Lioness accepted the resignations of Ilelen Webber, Peg Seller, Betty Ann Lamport's memberships to the Club, along with granting a leave -of -absence for six months to Pat Patterson. Lion Bill McGregor, District A Zone chairperson and Lion Jim Beckett,were present to install the to the Paris Playground located at the South Huron Recreation Com- munity Arca. The total proceeds of the lioness Fashion Show of March 31, of and will be frozen, thawed and 'fresh' for every performance. One of the biggest problems may be getting the cookics on stage with- out 'samples' disappearing. Other food starring in the show includes green beans, which are 'schnipplcd by a cuisinart and pota- toes which arc peeled - the old- fashioned way. Here is Claire Powers' (Properties Assistant and more recently Cookie Sculptress) recipe for Rigglevake Cookie Imposters; 4 parts flour • 1 part salt 1 tsp of alum - preservative 1 1/2 cup water Mix well,- split dough in two parts, make one part dark with mo- lasses (or some sort of colouring), then roll out both parts to 1/8 of an -inch thickness. Put the dark on the light and 'roll up like a jelly roll', - then slice thinly. Bake them at 250 degrees Fahren- heit for two hours. Do not eat! (John Rutledge, Blyth resident). M N0 MAKE A DIFFERENCE The Lioness were entertained by the Huron Country Young Compa- ny, who gave a short version of their 45 minute show on remem- brances of past musical history, along with impressions of actors, singers, movies and old dance rou- tines. Just a great show to enjoy, for a good price at S50.00 for a 45 minute production. This group will be available all summer for book- ings such as parties, gatherings,,an- niversaries etc. The Lioness have the group scheduled to perform at the Exeter Villa on June 15 for the residents.
