Page 2 THE BATTALION Thursday, November 12, 1953 Family Favorites By Mrs. Frank Anderson (Ed. note—Guest editor for our recipe column this week is Mrs. Frank Anderson, one of the outstanding hostesses of College Station. She is the wife of “Andy” Anderson, A&M track coach. Mrs. Anderson, a member of the College Women's Social club, is sponsor for the Newcomer’s club, and is active in community affairs. The Andersons have two sons, Rusty, an A&M graduate who is now studying at the University of Texas medical school in Galveston, and Wally, a senior at Annapolis.) Among my many recipes gathered from here and there, my favorite is my mother’s chicken-a-la-king. She was not only a gracious hostess, but an excellent cook and at many of her luncheons the following dish graced her table. Chicken-A-La-King 1 young chicken small can French peas (drained) 1 cup fresh cream small can pimientoes (cut fine) large can mushrooms (quartered) salt and pepper to taste Boil chicken until tender. Take out of the liquor and cut in pieces a bit larger than for salad. Into the chicken liquor, put cream and thicken with a little flour. Add mushrooms, peas, pimento and chicken. Season to taste wih salt and pepper. What little mixing is done, do it with a silver fork and serve in patty shells. Hush Puppies My husband is from Tennessee and from his family I have col lected a lot of excellent recipes. Our two sons are crazy abopt this one which I pass on to you. It is served with fried fish. 1 cup corn meal 2 teaspoons baking powder % teaspoon salt 1 small onion, minced (optional) 1 egg ti cup milk or water Mix together the dry ingredients and the finely cut onion. Break in the egg and beat vigorously. Add the liquid. Form into small pat ties, round or finger-shaped. Drop in the deep smoking fat in which the fish has been fried, until they are a deep brown. If one is watch ing calories, they may be baked instead of fried. Serve hot and at once. Serves three or four. The story goes that Hush Puppies derived their name from old fishing and hunting expeditions. The hunting dogs, already fed, smelled the delectable odors of human rations and howled for the .things they scented. Marjorie Rawlins in “Cross Creek Cookery” says that the sportsmen tossed the remaining corn meal patties to the dogs, calling, “Hush puppies!” Apple Crisp A Swedish dessert our family and friends, especially men, like is Apple Crisp, which is good any time and certainly for football crowds. S tart apples (sliced) 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons boiling water % cup flour 1U cup brown sugar V-i cup butter juice of 14 lemon (to keep apples from discoloring) Butter a baking dish and fill with sliced apples. Over apples sprinkle one cup sugar, cinnamon and water. Work together with finger tips 14 cup sugar, flour and butter and spread over as a crust. Bake about 30 minutes (350 degrees). Serve with whipped cream. Fudge Pie My good friend, Mrs. Ike Ashburn of Austin,. who is well known here, sent me this simply delicious Fudge Pie recipe. 1 stick of butter 2 squares bitter chocolate 1 cup sugar. 2 eggs 14 cup flour 14 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup nuts. Melt butter and chocolate together over low heat. Beat together sugar and eggs. Combine the two mixtures and add the remainder of the ingredients. Bake at 250 degrees for 20 or 25 minutes in buttered and floured pie pan. Top with either, whipped cream or ice crearp. Serves six.

We would like someone to answer a few questions. What in the is happening to the A&M freshmen ? For years, A&M has lived and thrived on its traditions. Freshmen used to be the lowest classified men (?) in the school. What has happened ? This year the freshmen are wearing raincoats. Why? Are they any better than the freshmen of the past? Thru the years, freshmen have always worn panchos. Why should this class be any different? This year The freshmen are not wearing lipstick and rouge and are not skipping to class during the week before the TU game. Their excuse ? “Other schools ridicule us.” So what? We alJL wore our lip stick and rouge, and took it like men. If the freshmen don’t like being ridiculed, why don’t they do, something to show the other school that they don’t like it. A&M has never cared, in the first place, what other schools have said, so why should we start worrying now ? And these poor, mis-treated lit tle darlings can go non-reg to work on the bonfire during bonfire week. Why ? “If we wear our fatigues to work in, they will stink too bad during class.” Isn’t that too bad? What kind of freshmen do we have this year?

Save Your Clothes! CAMPUS CLEANERS boys instead of men? Well, as far as we are concerned, we feel that all of this superfluous bull is very unnecessary. Why can’t the fresh men live like we and thousands of others have lived? If they aren’t going to live like we did, we say, “Give them their senior boots, and to with class priviledges.” Jay W.

We need some help and we feel that no one can better help us than your football team. We are from Alabama, and in order to be able to return to the “fatherland” without the loss of face our football team, Baylor, must be in the Cotton Bowl Jan uary 1st. We will gladly send to you all the Texas plays we know, give you all the support we can, burn all the candles and cowskins we can get hold of and to top off all this we will bestow upon your honor able school “The Towers of Old Main.” We are depending upon your football team to stomp, batter, beat, and slaughter the one team in the nation that we personally had rather not see in any Bowl especi ally the Cotton Bowl. “Clip the horns of Texas” and we will be eternally indebted to you and your football team. We feel sure that other students of Baylor will write you in the next few days showing you the moral support that you can depend upon along with that of your “Twelfth Man.” “Skin That Cow” , j, Richard Smith Connie Miller Charles Hast Keepsake ARCADIA Matched Set ' 350.00 Engagement Ring 250.00 (Also ct 450.00) ' GENUINE REGISTERED -| ^eepsake DIAMOND RINGS .We feature these famous Keepsake Rings in our store.
