"Weapons From Waste"
| Dear Aunt Daisy, I have intended writing to you for a long time, so here I am at last, with a good tip to thousands of housewives, to help save papers. I have three fireplaces, and never use paper to start any of these fires. Last thing at night, I pile up the ashes, coal or wood, on the hot embers (these will never spark), and in the morning I just put the chips on, lift out the ashpan and empty it, and when I come back my fire has already been lit for me, with the warm embers If every housewife did this, we would save thousands of tons of paper per year. ; Here is a very delicious pudding, no flour, no butter, and only one egg, Steamed Pudding: Two breakfastcups of breadcrumbs; 42 cup of sugar; 1 cup of mixed fruit; 1 egg; 1 teaspoon soda. Place the breadcrumbs, sugar, and fruit in a basin, beat the eggs and dissolve the soda in very little milk. Mix all thoroughly and steam 2 or 3 hours, Also, I saw in your Listener page a few weeks ago a recipe for Chocolate Melting Moments. Well, Aunt Daisy, here is a far more economical one, and one which never fails, : Chocolate Melting Moments: Half a ‘pound of butter; 4% Ib. of flour; 2 oz. icing sugar; 1 oz. cocoa. Cream butter and sugar, add the flour and’ cocoa gradually, and put through the forcer, When cold, put together with mock cream.
