Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen The menu which Mr. Powell described to us was as follows : Tomato Juice Cocktail Vegetable Bouillon Roast Lamb, Mint Jelly Rings Scalloped Potatoes and Onions Asparagus, Hollandaise Strawberry Bavarian Cream TO the tomato juice cocktail the Powells like a tablespoon of sauerkraut juice added for each glass. This adds a novel taste which we found delicious when we tried it. The bouillon can be made at home, but it is scarcely worth the effort, we have found, when such delicious bouillon can be purchased in cans, one can being enough for two. We have discovered that an attractive addition to canned bouillon is a quarter of a cup of finely diced raw vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, celery and onion. These are simmered in the bouillon until they are soft, about a half an hour, and they are served with the soup, of course. We were quite intrigued with the suggestion given us for garnishing the roast lamb. You carefully take your mint jelly out of the jar, onto a plate, and cut it across in slices about J/i inch thick. Then you shape each of these slices with a cookie cutter, and lay these decorative slices around the platter as a garnish. Another favored dish in the Powell household is Beets Piquante. Here is the recipe in the correct proportions for two : BEETS PIQUANTE 1 bunch beets 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour (scant) 1 tablespoon sugar T/x teaspoon salt A few grains pepper Yi cup cream 1 tablespoon vinegar Cook the beets over low heat until tender. Peel and cut in quarter. Melt butter in top of double boiler. Mix the dry ingredients and add to butter, stirring until well blended. Add cream and cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Add beets. Just before serving, add the vinegar. Among the other recipes we have for dishes which are favorites with the Powells is one for Strawberry Bavarian Cream, which is simply too delicious. Served in parfait glasses, topped with whipped cream and a whole fresh strawberry, it looks too dressy for words, though it is very simple to prepare. Then there is a recipe for the scalloped potatoes and onions which are so good that you could make a whole meal of them. The recipe for Mock Hollandaise sauce is much easier and safer to make than the regular Hollandaise and tastes every bit as delicious. And then there is a recipe for Lamb Shortcakes which gives you a grand way to use up some of the lamb which is left from the roast, but which doesn't seem a bit "left{Continued on page 91) a L own Knxyw* Her baby . . . thriving . . . gaining by leaps and bounds!

Millions of mothers have answered Yes to this question. And now more emphatically still a worldfamous clinic answers Yes. Living proof — in millions of healthy babies Seventy -five years ago, Gail Borden gave Eagle Brand to the mothers of America. Today, Eagle Brand— second only to mother's milk in easy digestibility— is known as an infant food the world over. Eagle Brand has raised more healthy babies than any other food, excepting mother's milk. In practically every community are healthy, sturdy boys and girls, and men and women who got their start in life on Eagle Brand. In your own community, see how these Eagle Brand ex-babies compare. What the scientists discovered But newer still is the news from the world-famous baby clinic. Two physicians fed a group of 50 average babies on Eagle Brand for a period of several months— checking with care every detail of their health and growth. Bone structure. Tooth development. Weight and height gains. Blood count. And those 50 Eagle Brand babies, judged by every known test, proved themselves ideally nourished.
