McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1941 Uuf, Jliftut CltamieSiA' BREAD TRICKS APLENTY! (See Recipes Below) 'BREAD ’N’ BUTTER* Those new loaves of white bread featured on grocery store counters and in bakeries everywhere these days look just like the loaves of white bread you have been buying for years. But they’re different—they’ve been “vita- mineralized.” “How?” you ask. Through the use of enriched flour—a wheat flour which contains added vitamins and minerals. 0 It was the Bureau of Home Eco nomics of the United States depart ment of agriculture which suggest ed, when flour standards here were under discussion, that fortified flour should contain a specified amount of vitamin B1 and of iron, and that nicotinic acid, riboflavin and calci um should be added. Because American dietaries lack chiefly B-vitamins and iron, the ac cent was placed here. The law is that each pound of Enriched Flour must contain at least 1.66 milli grams of thiamin (Bl); 6.15 milli grams of nicotinic acid (pellagra preventing vitamin); and 6.15 milli grams of iron. So, now in addition to being the most versatile and economical en ergy-yielding food, bread also pro vides, in economical form, addition- al nutrients essential to health. And, since bread is the one food that probably appears more often than any other on the family menu, I’m going to give you a variety of new and interesting uses for this “health food.” A good sharp knife, a loaf of good baker’s bread and your imagination will do wonders in developing, in your own kitchen, delicious crea tions that make your menus full of new life and interest. Bread Buttercups. Remove the crusts from a loaf of uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices from the loaf. Trim the slices so that they are about 1% inches wide and the ends pointed. Brush with an egg and milk mixture and ar range ip baking cups. It is best to brush the tips with a little melted butter so that they will brown more readily. Bake the bread buttercups in a moderate oven until they are delicately browned. Pinwheel Sandwiches. Trim the crusts from a whole loaf «f uncut bread; cut in lengthwise slices. Spread the slices with any desired spread of a creamy consis tency. Roll the bread firmly the narrow way. Small stuffed olives, nut meats or hard cooked eggs make an attractive center for the roll. The rolls should be tightly wrapped in waxed paper and chilled in the refrigerator before slicing. Croustades. Trim crusts from two or three slices of bread, making even-size squares. Remove the centers from all but one slice. Dip in melted LYNN SAYS: Do your menus meet nutritive requirements, and appetite ap peal, too? Careful, now. Here are 10 points on which to check your meals for appetite appeal: 1. Avoid repeating the /same food in one meal. 2. Avoid serving more than one strongly flavored or highly sea soned food in a meal. 3. Avoid using too much of one type of food in a meal—such as spaghetti as a main dish and rice pudding for dessert. 4. Use as much texture con trast as possible—have some soft, some solid, and some crisp food in each meal. 5. Get flavor balance in your menus by serving some sweet, some bland, and some acid foods each meal. 6. Serve some hot and some cold foods each meal. 7. Serve foods whose colors look well together and avoid serving colorless foods in one meal. 8. Try to get contrast in size and shape in the foods served. 9. Serve leftovers in a new form. 10. Avoid serving the same food combinations too often. Serve some other tart fruit with your pork, instead of the stand-by ap plesauce. It’s Picnic Time Has winter made you forget the wonderful, carefree afternoons spent along sparkling streams or in sunny meadows, munching hot dogs, dipping into baked beans and ice cream? It’s time to plan Sunday excursions and be lazy by eating off paper plates, with paper forks. And next week Lynn Chambers will delve into picnic atmosphere. Watch for her reci pes of good things to eat out-of- doorS I butter, and put together to form square cases for creamed food. Bread Patty Cases. Cut three rounds of sliced bread. Cut holes in two of them and place on the first slice. Brush with a mix ture of egg and milk (1 egg slight ly beaten plus % cup of milk) and bake in a moderate oven until brown. Checkerboard Sandwiches. Remove the crusts and spread the slices with soft butter, and any sandwich spread of paste consis tency. Then, alternating the slices, make two stacks of three slices each —one with a whole wheat slice be tween two white slices and the other with a white slice between two whole wheat slices. Next, cut the two stacks into half-inch slices. Spread with soft butter and another flavor spread, and alternate them again, making stacks of three-layer slices each. Press the stacks together, wrap each in wax paper and place in icebox to harden the butter. When ready to serve, cut crosswise into thin slices to give the checkerboard effect. Ribbon Sandwiches. Remove the crusts from four slices of bread, two white and two whole wheat. Put them together with different fillings, wrap in waxed paper and chill. Cut down through the four layers in thin slices to form a ribbon sandwich. Try these tricks very soon, won’t you? You’ll receive no end of compli ments on your ability to prepare these tasty and attractive “bread delights.” They are all pictured at the top of the column. • * • If you’re weary of serving the usual type of sandwiches when you entertain, here are “fillers” that will bring such phrases as “May I have your recipe?” from fascinated guests. Egg Filling. 4 hard cooked eggs Vt cup chopped cooked bacon or % cup stuffed olives Few drops Worcestershire sauce Cream or salad dressing Chop eggs, add bacon and Wor cestershire sauce. Add enough cream or dressing to give a spread- ing consistency. Ripe Olive Filling. Use one cup ripe olives, minced; one cup finely diced celery; % cup minced nut meats, and salad dress ing to taste. Combine olives, celery and nutmeats and moisten with dressing, then spread on bread. Sandwich Loaf. Trim crusts from a sandwich loaf of bread and cut in four lengthwise slices. Spread each slice with soft ened butter. For the three different fillings necessary, use any good combinations of flavor and color, such as minced ham and pickle, a yellow cheese mixed with finely- chopped green pepper, chives, pars ley or watercress, and chopped to matoes and cucumbers, or a tuna or salmon mixture. Each of these fillings should be mixed with may onnaise or softened butter so that it spreads easily. The loaf may be made several hours ahead of time if wrapped in waxed paper and kept in a cool place. Prior to serving it is iced on top, sides and ends with cream cheese softened to spreading con sistency with wa ter, milk or may onnaise. Garnish with slices of stuffed olive, sprigs of parsley oi endive. For serving, cut in thich slices. This loaf will serve 10 to 12 persons. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORIZONS: PETER’S VISION LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:5-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Then Peter opened his mouth, and said. Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.—Acts 10:34. “The best argument for Christian ity is a Christian” (Henry Drum mond). Peter presented just such an argument when, early in the his tory of Christianity, there arose a difference of opinion regarding his ministry to a Gentile and his family. The stumbling stone of offense be came a stepping stone to higher things, leading to the place of broad er horizons. Peter, instead of ap pealing to his apostolic authority or asserting his position, simply relat ed what God had done. He present ed the best proof that God had actu ally been at work; namely, a re deemed soul. We may learn from this lesson that the way to broadened horizons and greater usefulness for the church is by I. A Vision of God’s Plan (w. 5-10). All men are equally precious in God’s sight. God taught Peter very effectively that, whether Gentile or Jew, the Lord is “not willing that any should perish, but that .all should come to repentance” (II Pet. 3:9). When God speaks we do well to give heed to His message, even though it cuts across our ideas and prejudices, as it often does. It is not our plan that is important; it is God’s plan and purpose. As we walk in that way we shall have II. An Experience of God’s Power (w. 11-15). The Holy Spirit had fallen on the Gentiles and they actually had been saved. Is it not singular that in the early church they could hardly be lieve that a Gentile could be saved? Now we are astonished if a Jew is saved! Why will we in our unbelief limit the Holy One of Israel? The all-powerful gospel of the grace of God is still saving men and women, Jews and Gentiles, from their sins. Have you seen it hap pen? It is a great inspiration to faith and service. God is ready so to encourage us—He is the same to day as He was when He sent Peter to Cornelius. Are we willing to run His errands, proclaim His message? To do so we need III. An Appreciation of God’s Word (v. 16). The best way to learn the mean ing of God’s Word is to use it, live it, obey it. “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God” (John 7:17). Peter had learned anew that God’s Word meant just what it said. We who are God’s servants should be lieve His Word and act on it in faith. Observe that Cornelius had gath ered a group in his household to hear the Word of God (Acts 10:27, 33). Could we not do the same? “Can not each calculate with exactness some time and place where the gos pel is to be preached, and is it not possible to bring thither one’s rela tives and friends? Secondly, when present in a place of worship, can not each be prepared to say, ‘We are all here present’—all, family and friends, mind as well as body; ‘in the sight of God’—not to be seen by others, not conscious so much of others as of the presence of God; ‘to hear all things’—not to be amused or to sleep; ‘that have been com manded thee of the Lord’—not to listen to human conjecture or the ex ploiting of doubts, but to receive a positive message which is delivered in a reverent spirit and with the prophetic formula: ‘Thus saith the Lord.’ What would happen were all Christian churches filled with such audiences?” (Charles R. Erdman). This brings us to what is most im portant of all in broadening our spiritual horizons. IV. An Understanding of God’s Love (vv. 17, 18). God’s love is for all people. Since He has not raised any barriers of race, creed, color, class, or social position, it is not for His followers, and assuredly not for His servants, to set up hindering restrictions which He does not countenance. If God intended to save Gentiles, Peter wanted to be an instrument in His hand, not a hindrance in His way. One of the needs of our day is that those doing God’s work should not withstand Him and His love. He who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is ready to work as powerfully today as He did in the days of Peter and Paul, or of Finney and Moody. Let us give Him liberty to work in and through us, not as we may wish, but as He desires. Who are we that we should withstand God? Goal of Life Oh, yet we trust that, somehow, Good will be the final goal of ill, That nothing walks with aimless feet, That not one life shall be destroyed. Or cast as rubbish to the void. When God has made the pile com plete.—Tennyson. Jlsk Me ^Another A A General Quiz 1. Are alligators the slow, creeping creatures they appear to be? 2. Are all national flags alike on both sides? 3.
