Cut chicken in small pieces. Cook chicken with onion, pimientos and bell pepper in small amount of shortening. Do not brown. Boil the spagetti in the chicken stock, adding more water if needed. Drain spagetti and add to other ingredients with the mushroom soup. One can of mushroom soup may be sufficient, according to taste. If “warmed-over” an additional can of mushroom soup is needed. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste and serve with Parmesan cheese. The chicken spagetti can be served with a sweet-pickle coleslaw and hot rolls. 1 Devil’s Food Cake 1 teaspoon cinnamon % cup cocoa 1 cup boiling water 1 teaspoon soda 2 cups sugar % cup butter 3 eggs it-*-,--. - % cup sour milk 2 Vz cups flour Thoroughly creani butter and sugar; and eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
