Family Favorites
By Mrs. D. W. Williams
(Ed. note—Guest editor for this week’s Family Favorites is
Madpre Williams, wife of A&M vice chancellor D. W. Williams. The
Williams, members of A&M Presbyterian church, have two daugh
ters and a son and five grandchildren. Mrs. Williams, a native of
Ohio, is a former president of the A&M Garden club.)
I am very partial to recipes that are easy to prepare.
So I have chosen a few favorites in our family—all easy ones.
Date Pudding
This is one of our favorite desserts. It can be made the
day before, and is one I have been using for more than thirty
years.
Vz teaspoon baking powder
1 cup nuts
1 small box dates (cut fine)
and add to eggs. Then add dates
2 eggs (well beaten)
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
Sift together, dry ingredients
and nuts. Pour into greased pan (11 in. X 7 in.) and bake in 300 de
gree oven for 45 minutes. Serve cold with whipped cream. This recipe
serves 10.
Baked Beans
My family liked baked beans for Saturday night suppers. Here is
an old recipe used in my home when I was a child, and I’ve never run
into a better one.
1 lb. great northern beans G tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt % lb. salt pork.
Soak beans for several hours or over night. Bring to boil and
cook until skins pop. Add salt and sugar, and pour into bean pot with
water to cover to depth on one inch. Put pork on top of beans. Bake in
slow oven until well done.
Crisp Pickles
With baked beans we like these easily prepared pickles. I have
these in my refrigerator most of the time, as they are good with
most any meal.
1 quart soup pickles 1 clove garlic
4 cups sugar 2 teaspoons whole cloves
Cut pickles in thin crosswise slices. Add sugar, gaidic and cloves*
Mix together for three days, stirring occassionally. Do not use any
liquid; they make their own syrup.
Home Made Bread
I think my family enjoys home made bread more than anything I
make. With my easy recipe, bread making is a simple task.
Vs cup sugar \ 1% cups cool water
1 cup lukewarm water 7 cups flour
1 package dry yeast IVs teaspoons salt
V* cup shortening
Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water. Sprinkle in yeast and let stand
five minutes or longer. Melt shortening and add c6ol water. Sift to
gether flour and salt. Make a well in the flour and pour in shortening
water and add yeast water.
Mix well and knead on a bread board for three minutes. Put in
a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place,until double in size. Divide
in half and make two loaves. Let rise again until double in size. Then
bake in a pre-heated oven (350 degrees) for one hour.
Cow Poke Cookies i ,
This,is. a favorite, cookie recipe and an easy hia^s^lOO
cookies.
1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon soda
1 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar 2 cups Rice Krispies
2 eggs 2 cups rolled oats (3-minute kind)
2 cups flour 1 can cocoanut
Cream shortening and sug'ars. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat
Veil. Sift together dry ingredients and add to mixture. Mix well and
Add remainder of ingredients. Mix; if dough seems to stiff, add a few
drops of water.
Put one large teaspoon of the
dough for each cookie on a greased
cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees
for 12 minutes or until lightly
browned.
Mrs. Collier
Tells of Trip
To Newcomers
Mrs. Jud Collier showed
movies of her trip to Europe,
the Near East and Pakistan
at the meeting of the New
comers club yesterday at the
YMCA.
Mrs. Collier was one of 12 wom
en from Texas on a “good neigh
bors” tour that included England
and the coronation, Fi-ance, the low
countries, Germany, Austria, Italy,
Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordon
and the old city of Jerusalem and
Pakistan.
The women on the tour also gave
sevei*al scholarships to students in
those countries to study at Texas
colleges.
Hostesses for the meeting were
Mrs. W. R. Herdener, chairman,
and Mrs. A. B. Hilton, Mrs. Ben
Evans and Mrs. H. S. Thigpen.
The table was decorated with
red tapers in silver candelabra. The
centerpiece of holly with red ber
ries was trimmed with Christmas
tree ornaments.
Refreshments were served on im
ported china, and the coffee serv
ice was of silver trimmed Bavarian
China.
Letters
(Continued from Page 2)
master, (O. U. for the benefit of
those who did not see Mr. Clarks
letter in Wed’s Batt.); if you feel
like this is where you and your
warped opinions could best be
tolei'atcd, why in the devil don’t
you go there. And when you do
tak& ; tyctUft' buddies that share your
views with you.
For your own protection Mr.
Clark, it might be wise for you
to lockVour door when you go out
because someone who took your
letter more to heart than I did, is
liable to pack your bags for you
and run you off this campus.
for tl$e money involved in at
tending- O.' U. If I were as dis
pleased with this school as you
seem to be it would be worth it to
me to get away from it no mattter
what the cost.
I certainly hope you go to O. U.
(The sooner the better) I hope you
live there, die there and rot there
because we don’t even want your
remains around here.

Oceanography department.
When choosing a patterned cur
tain fabric, make sure that the size
of the design in the curtains is in
scale with the size of the room and
its furnishings. For example, small
designs in light colors are attrac
tive in small rooms with small win
dows; but they look out of keep
ing in a large room with massive
windows.
YMCA Cabinet
Sponsors Coffee
Beginning Monday the YMCA
cabinet will sponsor a student-
faculty coffefe hour in the Y lobby.
Free coffee will be served from
9:30 to 10:30 each morning, Mon

inet officer. .
Making cupcakes? Then sur
prise your family with one of these
laste treats. Tuck a couple of
drained apricot halves in the bat
ter in each cup before baking. Or
iprinkle the cupcake batter with
rmall pieces of semi-sweet choco
late before baking. Using either of
these suggestions with white or
chocolate cake batter.
