Fortunately for us, Gene subscribes to the oft-heard statement, "Never call an Irishman a quitter!" So, though professing to know nothing about the dishes preferred in the particular region from which he hails, Gene did go on to give us his allround favorites which we know would get feature billing on food programs everywhere!
In this culinary "act" he had the enthusiastic support of his charming wife, Betsy. Once a promising actress on the stage back in New York where they met and married, Mrs. Kelly is now more than content to devote herself to the welfare of her husband and their adored and adorable daughter, Kerry.
As to the foods of which they spoke and for which we secured the recipes, well, first and foremost there was Irish Stew. Naturally! Not that all Irishmen will necessarily like his version, Gene pointed out . . . since there are almost as many types of Irish stew as there are of Irishmen who demand this dish as their inalienable right! The Kellystyle stew calls for lamb, potatoes, carrots and frequently dumplings. No peas or parsnips, mind you, but plenty of turnips as they contend this vegetable is the most important flavoring adjunct in this famous dish. Mrs. Kelly also adds two large lamb bones to the pot to improve the flavor of the broth.
Kellyfornia Beans are another versatile main course feature at the Kelly dinner table, we were told.
But where the Kellys really went to town was on desserts. First Super Shells — which are special fruit tarts the size of coffee cups because Gene objects to "sample size" portions. Offered as a sort of culinary Pas de Deux, the pastry that goes into these shells is also used for Lattice Apple Pie which is Gene's favorite sweet — not only for dinner but also at breakfast! (A staunch believer in large breakfasts, anyway, Gene often tops off the first meal of the day with a couple of pieces of candy! He feels that candy is an important source of energy, which he realizes he needs for his Terpsichorean activities.)
A big favorite with this family are refrigerator cookies . . . convenient to have on hand for quick cooking . . . easy on ration points . . . fine for Kerry in a simplified version . . . therefore named in her honor. * * *

Well, Miss Inquisitive, we weren't talking to you, really. We were telling your Mother about Fels-Naptha Soap . . . but you can listen too.
We were just reminding Mother that you'll soon be big enough to toddle around and 'get into things'. You'll need a complete change of costume often — on short notice. And that's when she'll need Fels-Naptha Soap !
She'll need it to get your washing done in a jiffy. To get all the dirt out without rubbing your little dresses into rags. To get them so white you look 'sweet enough to eat'.
Does she have to use Fels-Naptha Soap? No, but if she takes the advice of a lot of Mothers we know — she will!
