McCORMICK CHURCH OF GOD Sunday School every Sunday “Appetizing food sells nutrition to the family,” says Miss Matilda Bell. “Unless meals have in them the element of human satisfaction they may go half eaten. Every thing that makes eating fun goes to make up the element of human satisfaction in a meal”. “Good cooking, skillful meal planning, and attractive serving all help make eating fun,” points out Miss Bell. “And of these three, perhaps the most helpful is good cooking. “Learning to cook is more im portant today than ever before. For today we know more about the food values that are gained or lost by cooking. And today fool proof rules have been worked out by the home economists. It’s easy to learn the basic principles that make for successful cooking, that conserve food value, and that make the food taste best. “It’s just been in recent years, for instance, that better methods of vegetable cookery and of meat cookery have been developed. “Today we use little water when we cook vegetables. We cook them a short time and never add soda to the cooking water. The lid is always off the pan when green vegetables are cooking. And the liquid the vegetables are cooked in goes into soups, sauces, or gravies, if it isn’t served with the vegetables. “Meat, like all protein foods— eggs, milk, cheese—needs a moder ate temperature all during the cooking time. Tender cuts of meat are cooked in an uncovered pan with no added water. Less tender cuts may be made more tender by cooking them slowly with added liquid in a covered pan. Tough meat may be ground or chopped to break up tough connective tissue and then cooked as though it were tender to begin with.” (By Myra Reagan, Nutrition Con sultant, S. C. State Board Of Health.) Recently an old colored man re marked that he didn’t know whether the “wet drought or the dry drought” had hurt his garden the most. Many of us feel this way about it for this year has been hard on gardens. That makes it even more important to have a good fall and winter gar den. Few people have been able to can as much as usual this year so it will be necessary to make up this lack with fresh foods. In every section of the State it is possible to have some foods from the garden all winter. In many parts of the State a good variety of vegetables may be grown in the gardens the whole year. Not many people can afford to buy all the food needed for a well balanced diet so it is necessary to produce this food. A few pennies spent on seed now will yield many dollars worth of food later on. Why not plan to try some new vegetables in your winter garden? They will give variety and will make welcome additions to the winter diet. Tests show that more people have anemia in the winter and early spring than -in other seasons of the year. If enough fresh vege tables. especially the leafy ones, would be used in the winter, it would help prevent this trouble. The Poor Cave Man Had No Newspaper To Advertise In. But You Have !! <9
