The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-06-22, Page 30Page 16—Crossroads—June 22, 1983 Cooking Corner "I cook at home for one basic reason: I enjoy it," says attorn y John Lima. "I rem° bee the impor- tance my mother placed on pies and pastries; my mak- ing pies at 12 years old was only natural- And my grandmother was trained as a professiodal chef in Europe. Unfortunately, she guarded all her secret re- cipes. Baking desserts has always been my favorite form of cooking because I have a high rate of success with them. There is some- thing about creating at- tractive food and pro- ducing dishes people ap- preciate that gives me satisfaction" Lima, whose work in- cludes domestic, personal injury and criminal cases, says he sees no bridge be- tween his profession and his baking passion. But once he is home, he assumes the role of cook along with his wife Caro- lyn. Together they have baked foods as simple as apple pie (literally), and as intricate as wedding cakes (their largest fed 350 peo- ple). How does this man spend his free time when not in court or creating a new. baked delicacy?

Bill Smiley Wat utter waste anommisomoo"" "Nope, they don't make them there models no more." "Musta been a computer error." "Hell, we ain't stocked them things for 10 years. "You . gotta be kiddin'. Haven't seen that rig since '75 " "That part's obsolete. You'll hafta buy the whole unit-" Does this all sound famil- iar? Are you as sick of it as I am? If the ansers are, "Yes!", what are wo going to do about it? We hit the pits, although this has been a long -simmer- ing fester, when my wife went to a supermarket the other day — not a little corner grocery, mark you — and the only potatoes they had were new ones from California or somewhere at a hell of a price. We love new potatoes. But we like them in August, fresh out of the patch, boiled or fried, slathered in butter, along with some new corn and green onions and real tomatoes that get red from the sun, not a lamp. I wonder how the farmers of PEI and New Brunswick, as well as the local chaps, feel when they hear there are no good, old potatoes, even though they had to plow half their crop into the pig trough because they couldn't get a decent price. But potatoes are only one little symptom of a disease that affects this country. It seems to me that with our economy in such a de- plorable state, merchants and contractors and skilled workmen would get off their butts and get back to the business of keeping their customers happy. One way they could help is by refusing to accept the airy waves of manufacturers that there's a "shortage" of this, and a "new model" of that and "We don't make parts for these any more," of the other. During a war, people grumble, but put up with, more or less cheerfully, shortages, making do, using what's available rather than what they want. Last I heard, Canada was' not at war, and I'm fed up to the teeth with lame excuses about this being out of stock and that being out of fashion. Buy something new. Two years later it breaks down. Take it in for repairs and they look at you as if you were crazy. What? Mac, you gotta be kiddin'. Repair that toaster, (iron, TV set)? Cost you too much. Have to send it back to the factory. Durno if they still have the parts. Better off with a new one. What we should say is, "Well, listen, Mac, 1 happen to -like my old one. It was a wedding present, and it cost plenty. Fix it or I find some- one who can!" Instead, we mumble angrily, frustratedly, and wind up buying the new one, which looks cheaper, costs more, and will break down in 10 months. By which time it will be obsolete and impos- sible to repair. There's something else that bothers me about this whole syndrome — the utter waste. Recently, we bought a new TV set and a new fridge. No, we weren't trying to get the economy rolling, though every little bit helps. The old ones were — well, old. But both were still working. Know where the old ones went? To the dump. Some- thing in my Presbyterian soul rebelled when I learned this. The TV set had a fine wooden cabinet. It would have made a great liquor or record container. or hone chest, or something. Into the dump. And the fridge, in any other country, ( except pos- sibly the States) would have had a new motor and insula- tion installed and gone' on happily keeping the beer cold for another five years. `Not to mention the several hundred pounds of metal in it. Into the dump. 1 seethed inwardly. But I am not a cabinet maker. Nor can I instal motors and in- sulation. All I can do with a fridge is take out the beer and put in the butter. But, into the dump? I felt rotten. Somebody could have used that old TV set, somebody who didn't have one. It still produced a picture and sound. Some- body could have used that old fridge, even though the ice cream melted and the butter froze. And I'm just skirting the fringe. Our entire society is built on waste, forced con- sumption and passing the buck. The latest recipient of the passed buck is the com- puter. Get a bill for something you never bought. Write the people who sent it, protest- ing. You get a letter with in- terest added and a threat - Write another letter and the varlets suggest they will take away your home and throw your aged grand- mother in jail unless you pay the original bill, plus more interest. If you take it to the Su- preme Court, you might, just might, get a real letter ad- mitting there was an error, but it was the fault of "the computer Cut down the old trees.

The latest loss to Hollywood came last week with the death of Norma Shearer at the age of 80, a result of pneumonia. She died at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital where she had been m failing health for two years. In the 1920s and 30s, Shearer was leading lady of Hollywood's top leading men! She married producer Irving Thalberg in the late 20s but he passed away nine years later, leaving the actress alone. She retired in 1942. A Forest woman, Barb McPherson, was the winner of a three -night trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, at Monte Carlo Night, a fund-raising night held at the Huron Country Playhouse on June 4. Another such event, a men's golf tournament, was held Last Wednesday at the Oakwood Golf Course in Grand Bend This Sunday evening (26th) at eight o'clock, The Family Brown will perform at the Huron Country Playhouse in concert. One of Canada's most successful groups, The Family Brown has won many honors and awards in the field of country music. "Papa" Joe Brown, his scan Barry, and daughters Lawanda and Tracey, have been singing together since 1968. They have made their mark, not just on the Canadian scene, but in in- ternational circles, per- forming concerts in Belgium, in New York, in England and in Northern Ireland. Tickets for The Family Brown concert are available at the Playhouse, by phoning 238-8387. They present a family-oriented show that you can take the children to see and hear. DEPRESSED!
