THE BREAKFAST EGG
out the many varieties of serving them. We all know about boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, baRed, steamed, and curried. And most of us know the eccessories that go to make an omelette interesting — finely chopped onion, fine herbs, cheese, celery, ham, potato, tomato, gherkin pickle, sauce or mayonnaise. Any of these added, or appetisingly combined, can make just that difference in the appetite of your family. The problem is, often, how to give the necessary or " doctor’s orders" egg to a person — often a child -- who loathes them. Here are a few ideas to experiment with. Custard (that usually is distinctly "eggy" in flavour) can be made as thin cornflour, into which --when it has thickened and been removed from the stove -- an egg or so can be beaten. The heat of the cornflour alone is sufficient to partly cook the egg so that the mixture thickens further, and smoothly, into "custard." A very little teal (not synthetic) essence of vanilla completes the job. Cold, it tastes extraordinarily like ice-cream, and most children love it. Cornflour also assists in the making of a kind of milder Welsh rarebit for children who like cheese dishes. Into a very little thin sauce drop vour finely erated cheese and stir over a mild heat until smooth. Then remove and stir or beat in an ege. The result resembles a soufflé. and is hard to resist. If you have the kind of apples that " break down" in the stewing, pour off the juice and beat in the white of egg till the mixture becomes light and foamy. Real essence of vanilla -dded discreetly to a well beaten ego and warm milk and suver can often tronsform it into a "Milk Shote" for the voung child who refuses egg on principle! " A Ring Round the Moon .. ." Do you know enough about weather to gaze up at the ring round a wintry moon and assert, "Ah! We'll have rain or snow to-morrow"? And — would you be right? Well, it may comfort you to know that science backs you up. The halo round the moon results from the presence of high cirrus clouds, composed of minute snow crvstals. in the path of the moonlicht. are cheaper, so it’s up to you to work
These clouds mean unsettled weather.
