Vegetables cooked ‘’en ’’casserole”
require a hot oven, j
If vegetables are to be included
with meat and the whole served
from the casserole, it’s a good idea
to cook the meat until almost ten
der before adding the vegetables.
The long slow cooking necessary to
br,ng out the flavor of the meat and
make it tender over-cooks the vege- ip
tables if they are allowed ‘to remain 1 -•
in for the entire cooking period.
Indian pudding and old-fashioned
rice pudding are typical casserole
desserts, but there are many others
that can be prepared in the oven.
There is a wide group of bread pud
dings, including bread and butter
custard and the fruit “Bettys.” All
the dried fruits are well adapted to
this method because the long slow
simmering develops flavor and brings
out the natural fruit sweetness.
A set of two or three casseroles
makes it possible to prepare an en- j*j
tire dinner in the oven at a minimum p
expense of time and fuel. . ♦>

oppose any cuts in appropriations
for reclamation, irrigation, power
and flood control projects in the
west, declaring that these appro
priations are not direct expenses,
that they are self-liquidating loans
and that the progress of the west
materially depends upon their de
velopment.
On the rent control situation, the
senate committee has given OPA a
short lease on life and while there
may be some inclination ‘ to raise
rents a bit here and there, a general
raise in rents is not anticipated in
the near future, at least not this
year. It seems that the members are
more afraid of the millions of rent
payers than they are the real estate j
and apartment house lobby, forj
there are far more tenants than!
landlords and next year is an elec- ;
tion year.
*****
The experts here say now’ that itj
will be at least May 1 and perhaps;
later before a new labor law will go
through the congressional mills, and
the house, miffed at the senate over
past actions on its own labor bills,
seems inclined to hold off until the
senate gets a bill into action. In the
past it has been the house which
has taken the lead in passage of
labor legislation, only to see the
senate chop or emasculate the bills
and take the meat out.
The expected battle between Sec
retary Anderson, farm groups, and
the farm bloc congressmen did not
materialize over the proposed reor
ganization of the department of ag
riculture. and specifically the prodiitf—«
tion and marketing division. The sec-'
retary made several concessions to!
the Farm Bureau and the Farmers;
Union and so a love feast instead of i-*-
a fight resulted.
Under the new program, as out-;
lined, reorganizaztion will take the|
form of an off ice of coordination with!
two major divisions of research and j
of production and marketing. It is 1
said that ^>AE. ERA, farm credit
and soil conservation will not be
changed and-will remain more or less
as is. The coordination office will re
port directly, to the secretary and
will dole out funds and jobs under
the new research and marketing law.
The ARA will supervise all research
activities by other agencies of the!
department and under P and MA alii
farm programs will be centralized
under marketing, production and
commodity credit operations. Wheth
er or not there will be much research
when the budget cutters get through
or not is a moot question, for it is
trols.
Season well, allowing about 1
teaspoon salt and 1-4 teaspoon pep
per for each cup of water. Qover and
put in a slow oven to simmer sev
eral hours. Calculate to cook foods
Card of Thanks
I wish to thank my friends for
their thoughtfulness during my ill
ness. Also the cards sent.
