What to Serve for Dinner?
One-Dish-Dinner Answers
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
Battalion Women’s Editor
Food is always an interesting
subject.
To many housewives, it is a puz^
zling one as well. The old re
frain “What can I fix for dinner?”
happens with variations all over the
country, at some time or other.
The best and happiest choice, of
course, is for the housewife to
sit down weekly, semi-weekly or
monthly and jot down her menus
before she does her grocery shop
ping.
But most of us falter on this.
We start out with good intentions
and for a couple of weeks the in
terest burns high. Then we lose
the spark and end up with the
same old headache: a meal to pre
pare and a cupboard bare.
Modern housewives, career
girls with a kitchen and bache
lors with a yen for culinary ac
complishments; demand much of
their meals. The food must be
good, it must be nutritious,
Erickson to Speak
To Phy sics Group
Richard A. Erickson, who will
receive his Ph. D. here in June,
will speak to the A&M Physics
Society at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday
in the Physics lecture room. Earl
ier, at 4 p. m., he will address the
Graduate Seminar.
Erickson did his research work
and thesis for his doctorate at the
Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Physics. His research was on Anti-
i on umagnetism.

priced ‘within budget range and
quick to prepare.
One of the ■ best ways to meet
these four demands is to keep the
menu for evei’y-day meals simple,
with as few dishes as ’ possible.
Nutritionists and homemakers have
long known that a good one-dish
dinner casserole with a salad and a
little-out-of-the ordinary-dessert or
a greater assortment of foods with
a simple dessert answers the quest
for good food at a low price.
Such a menu is the one listed
here. It has only three dishes, a
bread and a dessert, yet it answers
the call for meat, vegetables and
fruit, for variety and color.
MENU
Chicken Casserole
Fresh Spinach Salad
Orange Velvet Cream Pie
Hard Bread
Beverage
To prepare the casserole, make
a pastry and line the casserole
dish with it, leaving the pastry
hanging over the sides. Cut up two
cups cooked chicken (we use a
pressure cpoker; it cooks fast,
saves all the flavor). Add to this
these vegetables which have been
cooked until almost done: 1 cup
finely cubed potatoes, % cup diced
carrots; Vs cup canned green peas;
% cup chopped celery. Stir in 2
cups chicken broth, 2 tablespoon
butter or margarine and season
with salt and pepper^
Pour this mixture into the cas
serole dish. Add pastry over top
and tuck the edges together. Slash
the air vents into the top and bake
in a medium oven for about 30
minutes, or until the top crust is
brown.

For the salad, wash thoroughly
and chop into a salad bowl fresh
spinach. Chop into this two cool
hard boiled eggs. Season with
salt and pepper and serve with
your favorite dressing. (We pre
fer plain mayonnaise on this sal
ad.)
In this meal, the dessert is the
item that makes eyes pop and
mouths water, and it’s good for
the children as well as for adult
members of the family.
To make the pie, soften 1 enve
lope of unflavored gelatin in % cup
cold orange juice in a sauce pan.
Blend in % cup sugar, 1 tablespoon
flour and 14 teaspoon salt (mix
these three before adding to gela
tine.
Place over medium heat and
stir constantly until gelatine is
dissolved and mixture thickens
Remove from heat, add 1 table
spoon grated orange rind; >/2 cup
orange juice and 2 tablespoons
lime juice. Chill until mixture is
slightly thicker than the consist
ency of unbeaten egg white.
Fold in % cup thoroughly chilled
evaporated milk, whipped. (One
cup of whipped cream, substituted
for the condensed milk makes a
wonderful pie, but plays heck with
the budget). Turn into a, baked
pastry shell and chill until firm.
Garnish with whipped cream and
orange slices from which the mem
brane has, been removed.

ett said. Mr. Byers asked the
chairman if he could stay. But
the chairman said he would like
for him to leave. Something was
rotten there.”
After debate on the bill began,
the House locked itself in its
chamber by ordering a call of the
House under which no member
could leave Until the bill was dis
posed of.
Only two changes to the com
mittee’s plan was adopted.
One makes the plan effective
for the next primaries and general
election at which members of the
next legislature are elected. It
was offered by Rep. Harley Sadler
of Abilene, author of the original
redistricting measure.
Under the other change Grayson
County gets one representative and
then shares one with Cooke Coun
ty. In the original bill Grayson
and Cook Counties shared two rep
resentatives at large.
Representatives from El Paso
argued the longest that El Paso
County with 198,000, was entitled
to five representatives. Under the
measure El Paso has four repre
sentatives. The El Pasoans said
Bowie County (Texarkana), with
61,000, had two representatives.
They wanted one of those.
“This is a rotten bill; it stinks,”
said Puckett. “It was a complete
swapout in northeast Texas. These
people weren’t thinking about the
State of Texas.”
Rep. Vernon McDaniel of Wi
chita Falls offered a complete sub
stitute. The House defeated it
84-31.

Perry expects to finish his man
uscript in June. It will go to the
publisher soon thereafter.
In speaking of the book, a For

book; not a conventional history,
not a novel; but rather an earn
est effort to breathe life into a
‘Story’ of an educational institu

“Author Perry insisted upon, and
has been given by the Committee,
full editorial independence. The
‘Story af Texas A&M’ will be HIS
story, written in complete freedom
by an author whose work has
brought to him wide recognition
and appreciation.”
Complimentary, personalized cop
ies of the book will be sent to each
contributor to the 1951 Develop
